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.

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.

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.”

So Edgar Wright isn’t attached to it at all? That’s a shame. I really enjoyed how his visual style worked for the movie (even if the movie is a very trimmed-down version of the story)
Edit: feel free to downvote me, I asked a question without watching the video in the OP

He’s an executive producer

It’s right in the trailer, he’s the EP. So it’s the movie retcon-ed to be more faithful to the books, from what I can tell.

Oh nice! Yeah sorry I haven’t been able to watch it yet
