From October 5, 2002 to September 27, 2003, ''D-Children: Light & Dark'' was aired every morning on Saturday at 9:00 am on TV Tokyo. Actas was responsible for the production of the first 26 episodes, but due to production and sponsorship complications, the show's development was handed over to Studio Comet for the remainder of its broadcasting. Some staff, including the director, were changed following the move to Studio Comet.
 
The show received home media releases in the form of rental VHS tapes, which have since been discontinued, and no proper DVD or Blu-ray versions have ever been published. Due to this lack of availability, Episodes 9 through 20 are considered lost media.

While visiting a carnival in Hermit Village, Rena runs off and meets [[Mad Hatter]], a stage-frightened Demon. Rena then attends Mad Hatter's magic show, but after it goes horribly, she visits him and watches him practice, reminding her of when she practiced baseball with little brother. Later on, Rena's frustration causes her to snap at Mad Hatter, to which he runs away, much like how Rena's brother did. During her search, she is captured by Daidarabotchi, until Mad Hatter comes to her rescue and makes amends. They work together to scare Daidarabotchi off for good, and the next day, Mad Hatter performs his magic show perfectly.}}

{{Episode List|ep=22|title=過去から来たアテナ|transl=Athena Came from the Past|aired=March 1, 2003|descr=During a severe thunderstorm, Jin and Rand take shelter under the Chorus Tree, but are blinded by a lightning strike. A girl named [[Pallas Athena|Athena]] emerges from the light and seems familiar with the land, but does not recall the Chorus Tree having ever been grown. She possesses the last Chorus Tree seed and ancient currency, to which [[Ogma]] deduces that Athena came from 300 years in the past. After Ami and Skuld agree to find a way to send Athena back in time, she talks with Jin in a field, reflecting on how desolate the land was in the past. Athena and her father had tried growing Chorus Trees to nurture the land, though all of their attempts failed, and her father eventually died. She explores the field with Jin, who gifts her a four-leaf clover. Meanwhile, Ogma sees the Chorus Tree wither, the result of a time paradox. Athena refuses to return to her barren home, so Ogma abducts her at night and brings her to a Time Hole out of fear that history itself is in danger. Jin supports Athena's decision, but as the land and Hermit Village slowly wither away, she chooses to enter the Time Hole while carrying Jin's clover. In doing so, the land flourishes again, and Jin finds a clover engraved on the Chorus Tree.}}
