  I really hope this is good but I've been burned way too many times with netflix remakes / adaptations in recent memory :P

  Having the entirety of the movie cast behind me also makes me wonder just how expensive was it to make, what are the chances of it actually getting picked up for later seasons? Some googling tells me it's only an 8-episode season so far which doesn't seem like that much to cover the original comic properly.

    But the comic is also pretty short, so I can’t see how they’re gonna stretch it out that much. The movie did a pretty good job of covering all the books more or less, so I can’t imagine this show being more than maybe 3 seasons.

      I hope it’s just one season. If the movie can blaze through in 90 minutes, they can flesh it out and have plenty of room in 8 hours.

  So is this like, an anime with the dub of the 2010 movie?

    Yup. It’s also going to be more faithful to the comics, because the movie came out when they were still ongoing and there was about 40% of story left.

      To expand on this, the last volume of the comics came out just a few weeks before the movie. There was an ending shot where Scott gets with Knives in the end, which is what the last act was building towards. But as soon as it was learned that Scott would be with Ramona after all, they did some last-minute reshoots to change literally the last few minutes of the movie and had Scott get back together with Ramona and with Knives’ blessing.

      Presumably they at least learned this a bit before the comic was actually available to purchase, because that is way too short notice to do retakes otherwise.

  I’m optimistic. Edgar Wright, Michael Cera, Anna Kendrick. Looks like all the cast from the original movie. It could suck but I’m gonna probably watch regardless. The original is a masterpiece

    Yes, I’m so pumped. Only issue with the movie is that they really had to cram the last 4 exes and the final third of the movie feels rushed. Giving this a proper series, voiced by the cast, in collaboration with O’Malley and Wright sounds too good to be true.

  Sweet, they got the original live action cast back for the animated series.

  Is this a show or a film? A show sounds like a good shout as there was far too much that had to be exercised from the 7 books to make it work in one film. Another abridged telling as a film seems pointless to me.

    “Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is an upcoming American-Canadian-Japanese anime series developed by Bryan Lee O'Malley and BenDavid Grabinski for Netflix. The series is based on the Scott Pilgrim graphic novels written and drawn by O'Malley, with the cast of the 2010 film adaptation reprising their roles.”
