Popular web comic "Let's Play" to be made into a TV anime

It has been revealed that the popular web comic "Let's Play," which has a cumulative total of over 900 million views and over 6.8 million subscribers worldwide, will be adapted into a TV anime series called "Let's Play: My Life Full of Quests," and will be broadcast in 2025. It is an adult love story about the protagonist Sam Young, who has never been in love before, struggling with both love and work, and it has been announced that voice actress Kana Hanazawa will play Sam.

The story is set in Los Angeles, USA. Sam Young, a 22-year-old who dreams of becoming a game creator, has always avoided deep relationships with men, but he quickly becomes close to three men and gradually breaks out of his shell.

The anime will be directed by Daiki Tomiyasu, who has worked on the "Pokemon" series, with character designs by Ebimo, who has worked on "Charisma" and "HIGH CARD". It will be produced by OLM.

A teaser visual has been released depicting a smiling Sam holding a game controller in one hand and a gaming headset around his neck. Three men, Marshall, Charles, and Link, are also depicted. The cast for the three men will be announced at a later date.

Hanazawa commented about Sam, "I think we are similar in that we are both cautious in everything we do. We are the type to calm ourselves down by doing a lot of preparation. As she is always anxious, I hope to be able to act by reacting to everything that happens around me with a fresh attitude." She also sent a message to fans, saying, "This is a work that can be enjoyed by people of all ages, both as a work-related story and as a love story! I will work hard to make the first step on a new path for everyone who watches it an exciting one!!!"

An advance screening of the first episode of the series and a talk show by the staff will be held at Anime Expo 2025, which will be held in Los Angeles from July 3rd to 6th. Original author Leeanne M. Krecic and Director Tomiyasu will also be in attendance.
