Critic Reviews

Season 1 Review:
This show has the highly-coveted yet rarely-executed reboot potential to indoctrinate new fans to its universe, without sacrificing the off-kilter humor and heart that endeared the story to its original fanbase. It’s not an easy task by any means, but “Scott Pilgrim Takes Off” shows that it’s possible — and sets a new bar for anyone chasing the joy of the original with a second round.

Season 1 Review:
“Scott Pilgrim Takes Off” is a phenomenal stand-alone addition to the franchise as excellent as the many incarnations before it. Amid remakes and reboots, this rare level-up cleverly reexamines its entire story with a profound twist without sacrificing any pieces of its identity.

Season 1 Review:
"Scott Pilgrim Takes Off" is not just a great anime, but one that shows the promise of streaming services in delivering global productions that put together different aesthetics and talents. It is also a fantastic adaptation that proves you can do more than just remake the same thing in a different medium.

Season 1 Review:
A breathtaking reimagining of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s graphic novels. Even with the core cast of Scott Pilgrim vs. the World along for the ride, it’s no mere exercise in nostalgia, but a fresh coat of paint on a versatile coming-of-age story, whose vibrant animation and expanded scope bring new dimensions to the garage rockers, video-store clerks, ninja-couriers, and evil exes who inhabit “Toronto, Canada – Not Too Long Ago.”

Season 1 Review:
For a series that has been adapted so many times, it’s refreshing to see a new take on the material. Despite some issues regarding the recycled plot elements, “Scott Pilgrim Takes Off” has assembled a dream team of collaborators with Science Saru, Anamanaguchi, and the original voice cast of the live-action movie to bring this Japanese Anime to life.

Season 1 Review:
Scott Pilgrim Takes Off takes the long road to get to some of its most affecting moments, and it’s not always a smooth one. But it’s full of laughs, brightly sketched gags, and great character work to make things go down easier. And that payoff, disarmingly romantic and emotionally intelligent, still hits like a truck.

Season 1 Review:
The end of the first episode of Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is bound to turn off some viewers, but just take a deep breath and proceed. By the halfway point, your anger and confusion will fully dissipate as the story plays on and divulges new findings about the beloved characters. If you venture into this series with an open mind, you’ll love it. The show has all the charm, humor, and action of its source material!

Season 1 Review:
It isn’t mind-blowing. But it’s fun. So maybe Scott Pilgrim Takes Off isn’t what you expect it to be and maybe that’s both positive and negative and maybe this will never be my favorite version of this world, but there’s much to enjoy in these eight fast-moving episodes.

Season 1 Review:
It’s very good. .... I’m fairly certain the anime works as a standalone piece that introduces Scott Pilgrim to a new generation of audiences, but its grand design can only truly be realized by audiences who have lived with the original story — along with the many discussions sprung from it — for the past decade.

Season 1 Review:
Most importantly, it retains the underlying tone and messaging of what came before as it successfully reenvisions this story with Ramona at center stage. In the end, it manages to do something tricky, transposing a more than decade-old tune while barely missing a beat.

Season 1 Review:
“Scott Pilgrim Takes Off,” directed by Abel Góngora, is more dutiful in its depiction of toxic relationship behaviors and more generous in redeeming its characters — even its antagonists — through their own arcs of personal growth. Too bad those are also the blandest story lines. There are some intriguing new reveals and romantic pairings, along with jamming music from Scott’s band, Sex Bob-Omb (original songs by Anamanaguchi), but the bulk of the eight-episode series feels like a filler arc or, to use an anime term, OVAs (original video animations).
