by It has been revealed that Cygames will produce an original TV anime, “Necronomiko’s Cosmic Horror Show.” The story is set in the world of VR games and is woven by live streamers. Studio Gogumi will produce the anime, which will be broadcast in 2025.
The cast includes Sugiyama Riho as “Necronomiko” Kurono Miko, who graduated from junior high school and began her dream of becoming a live streamer (= streamer), Hazumi Nana as her rival Kagurazaka Kanna, and Iwami Manaka as her childhood friend Maimuzaka Mayu. Matsune Masato is the director, Uezu Makoto is in charge of the story and series composition, Suzuki Jiro is the character design, and Evan Call is the music.
Sugiyama commented, “Miko is a unique girl. Since I was little, I’ve been told that I’m ‘different’ and ‘weird,’ so I’m happy to be able to live with Miko. I want humanity to watch it, whether that be people who have had a similar experience, love games, or get it after watching the PV. Thank you!”
Hatsumi said, “This is my first time appearing in an anime as a main character, so when I heard that I’d been accepted, I couldn’t believe it right away. I’m pleased to be able to take part in such a fun production as Kanna. Kanna has an intense rivalry with Miko and always gets involved with her (laughs).
Although she’s usually cold towards Miko and Mayu, she also has a side that opens up to her, and she’s a cute character who shows many different expressions.
The unexpected developments made me excited every week when recording! I know you’ll be just as enthusiastic as I am! Be sure to tune in!” Iwami said, “It has a colorful worldview, and I think it’s an exciting work that is fun to look at! I was moved every time I recorded by the staff’s attention to detail and passion! Mayu is Miko’s friend and is very innocent and cute! I think it’s a work full of elements you will enjoy, so please check it out!”
