Die-hard fans will get to return to the nostalgia of the Scott Pilgrim world on November 17, 2023. Following the original storyline and Scott Pilgrim vs. The World, Scott Pilgrim falls head over heels for interdimensional delivery girl Ramona Flowers. But dating her isn’t so simple.

Scott is soon hit with the truth that all her exes joined forces and became the League of Evil Exes. To date Ramona, he must defeat all of them. The anime will be a welcome treat for fans, as the original cast from the 2010 movie will voice their on-screen characters.

O’Malley and BenDavid Grabinski are excited to see the culmination of their work come to life in the form of an anime. Speaking with Dexerto at NYCC, O’Malley said returning to Scott Pilgrim was inevitable and something that has never gone away.

“Scott Pilgrim has just been part of my life. I thought it would fade away. Never did,” said the creator. The fanbase has never died down as he’s learned that young teens are discovering the Scott Pilgrim world for the first time.

“How can I show them the love that they’re showing me is by trying to make something that is the same but new, and that is exciting, and fresh and funny and stupid, and all those things and emotional,” commented O’Malley. Grabinski revealed that he and O’Malley had been brainstorming ideas for years. When Netflix greenlit the anime, they already had a few episodes ready. Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is a welcome addition for old fans and a fruitful introduction to newbies.
