With just over two weeks until the release of Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, the new anime adaptation of the beloved comic book series about a slacker's search for love, Netflix has revealed the show's opening credits sequence. This sequence sets the tone for what fans can anticipate and features all of the main cast members from the 2010 live-action film adaptation, Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, reprising their roles.

The opening credits sequence, which spans nearly two minutes, is accompanied by the lively song "Bloom" by the Japanese rock band Necry Talkie.

'Scott Pilgrim Takes Off' Combines Anime Aesthetics With Canadian Humor

As Scott Pilgrim, the bumbling young man who unexpectedly falls in love with the enigmatic Ramona Flowers, portrayed by Mary Elizabeth Winstead, we are aware that Michael Cera will be reprising his role. To gain Ramona's acceptance, Scott must engage in digital-battle influenced combat scenes against her seven malevolent former partners, one at a time. These scenes originated in both Bryan Lee O’Malley's comic book series and Edgar Wright's film adaptation.

O’Malley and Wright serve as executive producers on the animated show, with O’Malley also co-creating alongside BenDavid Grabinski. Shuhei Handa, Masamichi Ishiyama, and Shoko Nishigaki have designed the characters for the show. The music for the show has been composed by industry veteran Joseph Trapanese and the New York-based band Anamanaguchi, who also created original songs. Science Saru handled the animation, and Abel Góngora, known for his work on Star Wars: Visions, serves as the series director.

After the commercially unsuccessful release of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World, it developed a strong cult following, with Wright and the cast frequently asked about the possibility of a sequel. On the film's 10th anniversary during the pandemic, they came together for a live reading of the screenplay. News of the anime adaptation was reported a few years later. The voice cast also includes Satya Bhabha (Matthew Patel), Kieran Culkin (Wallace Wells), Chris Evans (Lucas Lee), Anna Kendrick (Stacey Pilgrim), Brie Larson (Envy Adams), Alison Pill (Kim Pine), Aubrey Plaza (Julie Powers), Brandon Routh (Todd Ingram), Jason Schwartzman (Gideon Graves), Johnny Simmons (Young Neil), Mark Webber (Stephen Stills), Mae Whitman (Roxie), and Ellen Wong (Knives Chau).

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off will debut on Netflix on November 17. Stay tuned to Our website for more updates, and be sure to check out the opening credits here:

Editor's P/S

As a Gen Z fan, I am incredibly excited about the upcoming release of the Scott Pilgrim Takes Off anime series. I grew up watching the live-action film adaptation of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World and have been a fan of the comic book series ever since. I think the anime adaptation is a great way to bring the story to a new generation of fans and I can't wait to see how the story is adapted for the anime medium.

I think the opening credits sequence is a great way to introduce the characters and set the tone for the series. The animation is beautiful and the music is catchy. I especially like the way the sequence incorporates elements from the live-action film, such as the garage rock tune performed by the fictional band Sex-Bob-Omb. I think the opening credits sequence is a great way to get fans excited for the series and I can't wait to see what the rest of the show has in store.
