It has been revealed that Cygames will be producing an original TV anime, "Necronomiko's Cosmic Horror Show." Set in the world of VR games, the story will be woven by live streamers, and Studio Gokumi will produce the anime. It will be broadcast in 2025.
The Manaka Iwami Riho 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 in charge of the character design, and Evan Call is in charge of the music.
Sugiyama commented, "I feel that 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 would like all of humanity to watch it, whether that be people who have had a similar experience, people who love games, or people who 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 I'd been accepted, I couldn't believe it right away. I'm really happy to be able to take part in such a fun production as Kanna. Kanna has a strong sense of rivalry with Miko and is always getting involved with her (laughs). Although she's usually cold towards her, she also has a side to her that opens up to Miko and Mayu, and she's a cute character that shows many different expressions. The unexpected developments made me excited every week when recording! I think you'll be just as excited as I am! Be sure to tune in!"
Iwami said, "It has a colorful world view, 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 that is full of elements that you will enjoy, so please check it out!"
Director Matsune said, "The game is about to begin. The most crazy game in the world! The show is about to begin. The most crazy show in the universe! All of the staff are working hard to bring you a 'show' that is insanely pop, fun and full of virtual insanity, so please look forward to it!"
Uezu commented, "The new subject is video streamers, or live streamers. I wanted to depict their joys and sorrows, so I proposed this story. With the beautiful character portrayals of Studio Gogumi, we will deliver a cutting-edge youth drama. What is a cosmic horror show? It's cosmically fun, so don't worry too much. Please enjoy..." ◇Staff (titles omitted)
