If you've been anxiously waiting for more of Scott Pilgrim since Edgar Wright's 2010 live-action film adaptation of Bryan Lee O'Malley's cult-favorite graphic novels, the universe has heard your plea.
Netflix, in all its content-creating glory, recently released the first teaser trailer for the animated take on the cult classic series, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, and it's a blend of retro-flair and high-octane action that promises to captivate both new and returning fans.
Reflecting the series' roots, the show seems to be a delectable blend of the live-action movie from 2010 and the original graphic novels that inspired it all. With an art style that beautifully translates O'Malley's distinctly anime-inspired works, there's a sense of nostalgia paired with new, electrifying energy. The anime boasts of a grungy new look, made possible by the talented hands at anime studio Science SARU, known for their acclaimed works like Devilman Crybaby and Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!
The impressive voice cast will reunite Michael Cera, Mary Elizabeth Winstead, Chris Evans, Aubrey Plaza, Anna Kendrick, Brie Larson, Kieran Culkin, and an array of other beloved actors, marking an exciting return of the original movie cast. This reunion certainly is a rare sight in the ever-evolving entertainment industry, and fans couldn't have asked for a better ensemble to reprise the roles they once so beautifully played.
