Agreed, but, even though I watch little to no anime, I'll try this.

Why an anime? A cartoon in the comic's style would be cool by itself. >_>

CooI I guess but personally the the comic, movie and game while goodwere a bit overrated tbh.

So I'm not hyped to say the least.

Very unexpected but very welcome. It's called an anime but I'm sure that it'll have the artstyle of the comic. Time to reread the series again! And for those who don't know, Adult Swim made an animated short based on Scott Pilgrim years ago. Hopefully the anime will have the same look.

Yeah when I saw this announcement I'm like "Oh it's just going to be like that short, isn't it".

Let's hope it all holds up. It's well over 10 years old now.

I hope it's true to the comics storyline (which wasn't finished when the movie was released).

I also hope we see Knives' bad-ass dad.

I'm guessing this is a more faithful / in-depth adaptation, since the movie had to cut / truncate a ton of the plot to make time. Wouldn't make sense to bring back the 7 Evil Ex VAs for a sequel / spinoff, since they've all been the Scott Pilgrim-verse equivalent of killed at this point. Could also be a prequel, but that would be awkward as well, since the Scott / Kim / Envy side of the story would be entirely separate from the Ramona / Gideon / Exes story.

Nice. Gives them a chance to do the proper ending now that they actually know it.

That's an insane cast for a cartoon show considering how a few of those actors are way more popular now than when they did the movie.

I can't help but feel I would have enjoyed the movie more if they picked a different lead actor. Michael Cera, imo, is so insufferable as an actor in general. Plays the goddamn same character in almost every movie he stars in.

I'm hoping that my misgivings with certain casting choices will be at least minimized by them simply providing the voices and not being onscreen.

Ehhhhhh...book-Scott was dopey, jock-ish*, and a bit of a ladykiller. Michael Cera really only got 1 out of 3 here. I think most people (myself included) were mostly just miffed at the predictability of the casting, as in Michael Cera was apparently the only 20-something Canadian actor in the world, regardless of how well he actually fit the role.

*All these years later I'm still struggling to come up with a better way to describe book-Scotts physical build / status than 'jock-ish.' But whatever book-Scott is in this regard, skinny, dweeby Michael Cera ain't. He didn't have to look the part exactly, but it's tough to buy that Cera's Scott could so effortlessly stumble into relationships with girls like Envy and Knives.

He's a complete geek in the comic too. Just one that knows how to fight.

Nothing really jock about him.

Agreed. I enjoyed the movie, but I loathe Cera, so it was more for the style of Wright's film making and the side characters.

That's just how Netflix describe some shows like Castlevania or Arcane, their "anime" by simply being more action oriented

Is Scott Pilgrim that action-oriented? I thought it was more romcom/slice of life with some action elements.

Oh I see, I'd heard they were animated by the same studios as some anime.
