This would have been the second time the three main creators of psychological thriller anime [[Serial Experiments Lain]] would have worked together on the same project, and it would have been Nakamura and Konaka's third collaboration after their work on Ghost Hound. The title Despera is taken from a poem of the same title by Japanese Dadaist poet Jun Tsuji. Though the title of Tsuji's poem comes from the word "despair" or "desperation", the official blog for the anime stated that it can also imply the Spanish word desperado. A graphic novel serialization related to the anime was published in the Japanese magazine Animage from July 2009 to July 2010.
