Sex Bob-omb fans, the reunion is here. The anime adaptation of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World that will stream on Netflix, sporting the title Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, has landed. The platform has now released an all-new behind-the-scenes featurette where you get to see the cast of the movie in the recording booth providing the lines for the animated series. The video also spotlights the addition of comedic actor Will Forte as he professes his love for the Edgar Wright film and showcases his excitement to be part of the project as an old version of Scott Pilgrim.

The details of Scott Pilgrim Takes Off from Netflix reads,
Scott Pilgrim meets the girl of his dreams, Ramona Flowers, and discovers he must defeat her seven evil exes in order to date her. But this time, things get even more complicated. Based on the graphic novels by Bryan Lee O’Malley, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off revisits and reimagines the beloved cult classic, taking Ramona Flowers, her evil exes, Scott, and his friends off on a mysterious new action-packed journey to find love.

The anime series reunites the original film cast to reprise their roles, including Michael Cera (Scott Pilgrim), Mary Elizabeth Winstead (Ramona Flowers), 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 Richter), and Ellen Wong (Knives Chau).

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off was created for television by executive producers and co-showrunners O’Malley and BenDavid Grabinski. The original film’s director, co-writer and producer Edgar Wright serves as executive producer alongside Marc Platt, Jared LeBoff, Adam Siegel, Michael Bacall and Eunyoung Choi. Award-winning animation house Science SARU (Devilman Crybaby, Japan Sinks, Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken) and UCP, a division of Universal Studio Group, produce for Netflix.

The review from our own Alex Maidy glows, “Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is a fun, refreshing, and unique take on a story you think you know. The story takes on new layers by presenting it in a different way, and each actor gets to play with their previous portrayals differently. While the new twists on the tale may be a bit too out there for some movie fans, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is pure and unadulterated anime craziness in the best way possible.”
