Scott Pilgrim: A Side-Splitting Netflix Delight with an All-Star Voice Cast!

A hilarious new clip has been released for the highly anticipated anime series Scott Pilgrim Takes Off. The clip showcases the exceptional voice cast and has generated a lot of excitement among fans since the announcement in 2022. The series not only promises to be a faithful adaptation of Bryan Lee O'Malley's graphic novels but also features the return of the entire cast from the Edgar Wright film to provide the voices. With the official release of the clip following the debut of the series' first trailer, it certainly lives up to the hype.

As part of Netflix's Drop 01 event, the Netflix Anime YouTube channel unveiled a new clip that highlights one of the story's most iconic moments. Scott, in a bid to impress Ramona, orders a package, hoping that she will be the one to deliver it. The clip captures the humorous and endearing essence of the scene, which fans loved in both the comic and the film. The added delight comes from hearing Michael Cera, Kieran Culkin, and Aubrey Plaza reprise their roles and lend their voices to the characters once again.

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off Proves It's In Good Hands With Its Voice Cast

After 13 long years, it is truly unbelievable to witness the same actors from the movie recreate one of their most memorable moments. However, what makes it even more incredible is the seamless transition they make, as if no time has passed at all. Michael Cera's portrayal of Scott in this scene is just as charmingly romantic as it was in the original film, while Plaza's depiction of Julie continues to captivate with her evident disdain for the story's protagonist. And then there's Wallace, a standout character from the movie. Kieran Culkin's performance in this clip as the quick-witted and sarcastic Wallace, the role he played so brilliantly in 2010, is simply outstanding. Judging by the stellar performances of these three characters alone, it is safe to conclude that the returning cast will effortlessly embody their respective roles, just as they did when they first breathed life into the story under the directorship of Edgar Wright.

Little Differences Make Scott Pilgrim Takes Off Feel Fresh

What makes this clip even better is how it maintains the same story while incorporating changes to surprise and engage fans. For instance, having Ramona work for Netflix as a DVD delivery person is a clever reference to their new home on Netflix while staying true to the story's time period. Additionally, the montage of Scott sitting in front of the door waiting for Ramona, turning into a comedic montage as life goes on, adds to the humor. It has been mentioned that Scott Pilgrim Takes Off will feature significant changes to the story, and if this clip is any indication, it is off to a promising start.

The highly anticipated series is set to premiere on November 17, 2023, with all episodes being released at once. The original Scott Pilgrim film left a lot open for a future adaptation since it was released before the final entry in the graphic novel series. With a glimpse into the series' direction through this memorable moment, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off has the potential to become one of the biggest hits of 2023, thanks to its well-executed adaptation and cast of beloved voice actors.
