While previous ‘Scott Pilgrim’ adaptations felt like experiencing different minor frequencies of the same fictional life, Netflix’s new anime series ‘Takes Off’ is operating on a whole new wavelength.
Scott Pilgrim Takes off takes the original comic and film in several wild, fascinating, totally fresh new directions, and it all comes down to that ending.
The new eight-episode anime spin on the graphic novels (and 2011 film) is more than just fan service. It’s vividly animated and an incredibly entertaining, touching action-comedy.
