Netflix's 'Scott Pilgrim Takes Off' Teaser Hits All The Right Notes

Netflix brings the group together with Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, an animated adaptation of the Scott Pilgrim graphic novel series. The company has released the show's first eight-episode teaser, which focuses on the main character and his attempt to win a battle of the bands contest while taking on his new girlfriend's seven evil exes.

The anime is a sequel to Scott Pilgrim Against the World, a 2010 film based on the graphic novels. The main cast of Edgar Wright's film reprise their roles in the series, including Michael Cera (Scott Pilgrim), Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Ramona Flowers), Kieran Culkin (Wallace Wells), Chris Evans (Lucas Lee) and Brie Larson (" Envy ”Adams).

The teaser apes many visuals from the film and graphic novels, such as Scott blocking a flying attack from Matthew Patel with his arm and the rehearsal space of his band, Sex Bob-Omb. You'll also see Ramona drag Scott through space to a door with a star on it and the lovebirds sitting side by side on a swing. However, I don't remember seeing any dinosaurs in the movie.

Bryan Lee O'Malley, the creator of the graphic novel series, is one of the showrunners, while Wright is an executive producer. Abel Gongora of animation studio Science Saru (Star Wars: Visions, Devilman Crybaby) is the show's director. Scott Pilgrim Takes Off also includes new music from Anamanaguchi, the formidable chiptune band behind the Scott Pilgrim vs. The World.

Scott Pilgrim vs. the World is my favorite movie of the 2010s, and this teaser showcases the look and spirit of the universe. I'm already counting the days until Scott Pilgrim Takes Off hits Netflix on November 17th.
