"One of the proudest, most enjoyable achievements of my career was assembling the dynamite cast of Scott Pilgrim," filmmaker Edgar Wright, who will executive produce the new series, said in a statement. "Since the film's release in 2010, we've done Q&As and charity read-throughs, but there was never the occasion to reunite the gang on an actual project. Until now..."
He added, "Original creator Bryan Lee O’Malley, along with writer BenDavid Grabinski, have conjured up an anime series of Scott Pilgrim with the geniuses at [Science SARU] that doesn't just expand the universe, but also… well, just watch it."
Brian O'Malley spoke with Tudum about the anime: "Everyone is putting their heart and soul into this thing, and we're having the most fun making it. It's hilarious. It's emotional. It's visually stunning. The action scenes will blow your mind. And there might be a few surprises along the way." Oh, we are so excited.
The anime will also feature original songs by Anamanaguchi, and a score from Anamanaguchi and Joseph Trapanese.
