Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is a tribute to pop culture and geeks, full of references to movies and video games.
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off exactly copies the events of the comic book, but from the second episode the action takes an unexpected turn.
The post credits scene in the last episode hints at a possible sequel.
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World was one of the most iconic movies of the 2010s. Although the movie flopped at the box office and audiences never saw the second part, Brian O'Malley's original comic book remains a treasure trove of interesting images and plots. No wonder that almost 15 years later, Netflix decided to return to the comic and reimagine it in the format of an anime series. The series was produced by Science SARU, who you may know from such notable projects as Inu-Oh (Inu-Ou) and Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken! (Eizouken ni wa Te wo Dasu na!).
What's this story about?
Brian O'Malley's comic book tells the story of a young slacker, Scott Pilgrim, who falls in love with a girl, Ramona Flowers. However, before he can be with his beloved Scott needs to win over her seven exes. Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is a tribute to pop culture and geeks, full of references to various movies and video games. Science SARU could have taken the easy way out and simply remade the comic in anime format (good thing the comic already has a vibrant visual style that begs for the big screen). However, the studio went the other way and decided to offer an original interpretation of the story.
Another story about Scott Pilgrim
At first, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off closely follows the events of the comic book, but from Episode 2 the action takes an unexpected turn. Scott is no longer the main character in the series, it's Ramona, who is searching for a missing boyfriend. The case involves time travel, robots, doppelgangers of Scott and Ramona from the future, and the exes turn out to be quite nice guys. So this is not another adaptation of a great comic book, but rather a new series based on the book.
The creators use stunning visual solutions and keep the tension high throughout the eight episodes. The series has a distinctive style that, on the one hand, perfectly reproduces the drawings of the original comic book while adding an anime expression. Critics have praised this approach, and the series currently has very high ratings (especially compared to Netflix's other original anime series). The show has 100% positive reviews on Rotten Tomatoes and 85/100 on Metacritic.
Will there be a second season?
The logical question arises: will there be a second season? Since the anime took a different path and didn't become a sequel to the 2010 movie, it has plenty of plot possibilities for Season 2. The post credits scene in the last episode of the show hints at a possible sequel. Nothing has been announced yet, but we can assume if the series gets a significant amount of viewers, Netflix won't miss the opportunity to make Scott Pilgrim into a new franchise.
An epic comeback of the iconic heroes.
