The first season was directed by Hisatoshi Shimizu, who directed the famous episodes of Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood. The character designs were done by Michinori Chiba, and the script was supervised and written by Tōru Kubo. With the production cooperation between E&H Production and Good Smile Company, the film has made a strong impression through the quality of images and music. The opening theme song “Akaneko” by Wednesday Campanella and the ending theme song “Honjitsu no Osusume” by Rikon Densetsu helped highlight the film's unique style.
Red Cat Ramen's original manga was first published on Jump Rookie! in November 2021 before moving to the Shonen Jump+ platform in March 2022.
