Crunchyroll has yet to confirm whether it produced the subtitles. Necronomico and the Cosmic Horror Show premiered on July 1. Cygames handled the overseas licensing and is a producer for the anime. Masato Matsune directs the series at Studio Gokumi. The anime is officially described:
Struggling streamer Miko Kurono joins the new VR game “KADATH” to change her fate, after a wave of mysterious incidents where popular streamers collapse during livestreams. She soon discovers the game is a deadly trap by the gods and must survive the unfolding cosmic horror.
