Hello all you absolute lovelies! I know I know – I can already hear some of the comments on this. Mae…where’s the review you promised? Lol I know this isn’t HHN review. I swear I’ve been working on it but unfortunately life kinda took some turns this past month that made things a little difficult to focus on what I fully wanted to write about. I’ll have it for December for sure – because why not talk about Halloween in December xD ya’ll know me Halloween and Christmas are basically the same thing when it comes to my love of holidays and can be celebrated whenever I want. Sorry for the wait everyone – it’s coming!
So instead let’s talk about the new Scott Pilgrim Takes Off animated series on Netflix. Because…omg – ya girl loves Scott Pilgrim so much and this series was absolutely amazing in my opinion. And it really showcases the length they took to make something familiar yet also completely new!
So I’m sure many have already caught this and binged it like I did but just in case you haven’t seen it yet – I won’t spoil things here but please note to expect…the unexpected! Give it a chance if it doesn’t resonate with you right away. If you were a fan of the source material, there’s going to be something for you here. And seeing it told in such a colorful animated way is absolutely amazing.
I think one of the best things about this series is we literally got the movie cast on board for this show. And it all started when Michael Cera responded to a nine year old email that everyone was looped in on. And everyone started getting into discussions about what the future of the series held and if they could be part of it. AND HERE WE ARE!
Also let’s give a huge shoutout to Anamanaguchi for producing the music for the series as well – they did the music for the video game and we’re a huge fan of them in my corner of the world ❤
All in all, this show was a wild ride and showed that the showrunners really wanted to take a chance with creating something completely new while still finding that balance with staying true to the characters themselves. Plus we get a chance to have more time with the other characters as well and see the world from their perspective, and not just focus on our two protagonists Scott and Ramona.
I absolutely loved it and I know there’s probably not gonna be a season two for the sake of it…but there’s always a possibility for something to happen, especially in the world of Scott Pilgrim!
Thanks for letting me ramble for a moment! I will finish up the HHN review here soon! Happy Holidays to those who celebrate and I’ll see you soon!
