Anticipation Soars: 'Let’s Play' Anime Unveils Striking New Visual and Dynamic Opening Ahead of October 2025 Premiere

Get ready to press start on a captivating new journey as the highly anticipated TV anime Let’s Play gears up for its October 2025 premiere. The series recently dropped an exhilarating new key visual and its main opening animation sequence. This adaptation of Leeanne M. Krecic’s, known to fans as Mongie, beloved webcomic promises a delightful dive into the vibrant world of the gaming industry intertwined with compelling personal relationships. Produced by the acclaimed studio OLM, the series is set to grace Fuji TV’s +Ultra programming block, marking a significant event for anime enthusiasts.
The newly unveiled visual offers a tantalizing glimpse into the series' core, showcasing the four main characters in an elegant gathering at 'The Daily Grind,' a cafe that serves as a pivotal hub for the unfolding personal and professional dynamics within the narrative. Complementing this visual feast is the energetic opening animation, perfectly synchronized with Toshinobu Kubota’s infectious theme song, '1,2, Play,' which promises to set an upbeat and engaging tone for each episode.
At the heart of Let’s Play is a determined female protagonist, passionately pursuing her dream of developing groundbreaking video games. Her path, however, is complicated by the unexpected arrival of a popular streamer, whose harsh criticisms become an unforeseen challenge, especially when he turns out to be her new neighbor.
Meet the Stellar Voice Cast and Creative Team
The anime boasts a stellar voice cast, with Kana Hanazawa lending her talent to the lead role of Sam Young. She is joined by Shimba Tsuchiya as Marshall Law, Yuichi Nakamura as Charles Jones, and Tomokazu Sugita as Link Hudson, rounding out the ensemble of supporting male leads. The characters are brought to life through the vivid and stylish designs of Saki Ebisawa, building upon Ebimo’s original concepts, while Conisch masterfully crafts the series' emotive and thematic musical landscape.

Further expanding its universe, a concurrent manga adaptation of the anime’s first episode story arc, penned by Kei Kumoi, is being released online via Kakao’s Piccoma platform and other digital outlets.
