According to today's AICN Anime, we can expect this sometime in the near future:
A tv anime version of "high-tension, chaotic comedy" light novels Haiyore! Nyaruko-san, concerning a moe version of Cthuhlu mythos evil Nyarlathotep has been confirmed. A flash anime adaptation has already been produced.
As a fan of the Old/Deep/Elder Ones in all their horrifying non-Euclidean glory, I'm both intrigued and slightly disconcerted all at once. One can only assume that friends like Dagon, Iia Shub Niggurath, Hastur--crap, I said his name!--and even Cthulhu will have cameos. And considering how much I've enjoyed the Cute-thulhu webcomic, admittedly the only way I can see the "moe" aspect done well is if all the dialogue is entirely snarky.
We'll have to see, I guess. Though how the hell one can "moe" up a colour out of space is beyond me...
