Netflix Lets Scott Pilgrim Take Off, On Anime Wings
The series reunites the original movie’s entire cast just to voice their initial characters, despite most of them having gone on to become much bigger stars, whether it’s Michael Cera, Anna Kendrick, Chris Evans or Kieran Culkin (the list goes on).

When “Scott Pilgrim Vs The World” was released in 2010, it was released amid the kind of sea of sequels, adaptations and remakes that continue to saturate theaters today. There’s no doubt that Edgar Wright’s film was based on the graphic novel by Bryan Lee O’Malley, but it reveals a breathtaking originality in its execution. By combining video game and comic book aesthetics, it remains a unique film that no other effort can replicate to this day. Despite performing poorly at the box office, “Scott Pilgrim Vs the World” is now a cult classic, having spawned a video game and now, an anime series on Netflix which reunites the movie’s entire cast just to voice their initial characters, despite most of them having gone on to become bigger stars, whether it’s Michael Cera, Anna Kendrick, Chris Evans or Kieran Culkin (this list goes on).
