Netflix has premiered the full trailer for its new anime series “Scott Pilgrim Takes Off” based on the graphic novels created by Bryan Lee O’Malley.
The trailer was unveiled during a panel at New York Comic Con at the Javits Center where it was also confirmed that Julian Cihi will voice the Katayanagi Twins (Kyle and Ken).
Blending the best elements of both the comics and Edgar Wright’s 2010 live-action film adaptation, the eight-episode American-Canadian-Japanese anime series offers an expanded narrative and new take on the material.
Wright and O’Malley return as executive producers, with the latter also serving as writer and showrunner alongside executive producer BenDavid Grabinski.
All the cast from the live-action film are returning to voice their characters from Michael Cera and Mary Elizabeth Winstead as Scott and Ramona, to Kieran Culkin, Anna Kendrick, Chris Evans, Brie Larson, Brandon Routh, Aubrey Plaza, Jason Schwartzman, Johnny Simmons, Mae Whitman, Ellen Wong, Alison Pill, Mark Webber and more.
Also onboard is animator Abel Góngora directing, whilst the film’s co-writer Michael Bacall also executive produces. Acclaimed anime studio Science SARU is handling the animation for the series.
Joseph Trapanese will serve as the composer and Anamanaguchi will provide songs. “Scott Pilgrim Takes Off” premieres on the service on November 17th.
