Scott Pilgrim Anime Series Coming To Netflix

Quote:

Scott Pilgrim, the hit graphic novel series that was adapted into an Edgar Wright vehicle, is once again headed the screen, this time as an anime series.

Netflix and UCP, the division of Universal Studio Group behind The Umbrella Academy and Chucky, are developing the brand new adaptation, which does not yet have a series order.

Bryan Lee O’Malley, Pilgrim’s artist-creator, is writing and executive producing with BenDavid Grabinski, the showrunner behind the revival of Are You Afraid of the Dark? at Nickelodeon. The two will showrun the series should it move forward, with anime house Science SARU on tap to provide the animation work. The company’s Eunyoung Choi sill serve as producer and Abel Gongora as director on the series.

As long as O'Malley is in on it I think it should be good. The comic was great and they did a good job with the movie (which was made before the last volume was finished). Hopefully we get a brand new kick ass album out of it. I loved the music from the movie

I am hoping it will one of those that captures the artstyle of the comic

This might get me back into anime.

Scott Pilgrim is my all-time favorite movie.

They pretty much Kevin Smithed this one. It should have been called Ramona VS The World.

Scott dies in episode 1 and doesn't return until the end of episode 6.... of an 8 episode series.

It's basically a FF7 remake type deal where the original movie still happens but it's an alternate timeline type thing. It's pretty fun for what it is with more focus on the villains than them being just one-off jokes like in the original. Ramona and Scott have a lot of focus in the last 3 eps.

From what I see, a mixed bag. There seems to be a bit of a divide between people that love it and purists that hate it.

Like the TMNT fandom and Mutant Mayhem

I enjoyed the series. The fact they got the entire movie cast to voice the characters again is a miracle of its own accord.

Overall, it scratched a major itch I had ever since the first movie came out 13 year ago. It was really nice to be back in this universe again.
