Let’s Play is an upcoming anime adaptation of the webcomic by Leeanne M. Krecic (AKA Mongie), and a bunch of details made their way online today. Crunchyroll announced plans to stream the anime as it airs, with a new subtitled trailer showing off what’s to come when it arrives sometime in 2025.

We also know more about the cast and staff, with the former including Kana Hanazawa in the lead as Sam Young. Daiki Tomiyasu (Pokémon Sun and Moon) directs, Aya Matsui is on series composition and Ebimo handles character designs for the OLM production.
Ahead of the 2025 arrival, Crunchyroll will screen the world premiere at this year’s Anime Expo on July 3. Creator Leeanne M. Krecic will be in attendance along with director Daiki Tomiyasu and producers Heather Horn, Hana Sugawara and Minaka Sakamoto.
The series first kicked off on the WEBTOON platform—the comic is no longer running there, but is planning to return this year on an as-yet-unspecified new platform—and publisher Rocketship Entertainment sums up the story like so:
She’s young, single and about to achieve her dream of creating incredible video games. But then life throws her a one-two punch: a popular streamer gives her first game a scathing review.
Even worse, she finds out that same troublesome critic is now her new neighbor! A funny, sexy, and all-too-real story about gaming, memes, and social anxiety.
