It was released in Japan by Buena Vista Home Entertainment on DVD and Blu-ray on July 4, 2007, as part of the "Ghibli ga Ippai Collection SPECIAL" label.

[3] The OVA is 30 minutes long and consists primarily of Inoue's fantasy paintings of the Iblard world.

Studio Ghibli digitally animated portions of the paintings and integrated original elements into the scenery.

The release of Iblard Jikan includes a bonus soundtrack CD with eight tracks performed by Matsuo.

Chris Beveridge of Anime on DVD noted that the OVA is quite calming and relaxing, and provides a great showcase of Ghibli "eye candy", but its appeal would likely be restricted to those seeking to complete their collection of Ghibli pieces due to its focus on "looking through the window" rather than telling an overarching story.
