The brand new Netflix series “Scott Pilgrim Takes Off” is a new action packed and comedic spin on the 2004 book series “Scott Pilgrim” by author and artist Bryan Lee O’Malley, later adapted into the 2010 live-action movie “Scott Pilgrim vs The World.” Contrary to popular belief this new series, directed by Abel Góngora, instead follows the love of Scott’s life, Ramona Flowers, covering her adventures in solving the mystery of Scott’s disappearance and battling her demons from her past.

Most of the cast of the 2010 film have come back to reprise their roles in this brand new story, with some of the notable and familiar voices being Michael Cera, Kieran Culkin, Chris Evans, and the star of the show, Mary Elizabeth Winstead who has returned to portray Ramona Flowers and all her essence once again.

The series has demonstrated a gorgeous and fluid style of animation compiled with elegant as well as vibrant colors that help convey the story by making it hard to look away from. The animation style captivates the viewer’s attention and makes it worth their while as we see when Lucas Lee (one of Ramona’s ex-boyfriends and a villain of the story) is skateboarding while also fighting off paparazzi simultaneously, a great showcase the series’ stunning and unique style of story telling. The animation’s beauty lies not just in its motion but in the intricate details that adorn the scenes, from the shading to the crevices and immense on-screen action.
“Scott Pilgrim Takes Off” is a beautifully animated and written series that is definitely a must watch for viewers of any caliber. The series has twists, life, and mystery all rolled up into one action-packed new story in the Scott Pilgrim universe. If you’re looking for a new franchise to explore, “Scott Pilgrim Takes Off” will not disappoint the older and more mature audience keeping an eye out for some quality entertainment. Based on my personal opinion, I’d give it 4 out of 5 stars, I really enjoyed it and cannot stress enough how much of a must watch this series is.
