Scott Pilgrim hebt ab

This is my introduction to the franchise, I've heard about both the movie and the comics being really good so I gave this a chance.

It was...alright? Only 8 episodes, it doesn't really drag for long but it wasn't anything special; the animation was great but the story was pretty meh, I really liked the first and last 2 episodes, which means that pretty much everything that had Ramona as the protagonist was average at best. I liked cool, non-stereotypical female characters and Ramona is that but she's just not that interesting as an MC. Finding out that this isn't a direct adaptation makes everything make sense, this was definitely something that was created for the old fans. She has a past, a IDGAF attitude and a cool design which on paper sounds good but just isn't as entertaining as Scott which is your average lovable idiot and watching him try his best is what makes the show shine.

I can now see why fans would be upset at the misguided promotion that led them to believe the show would be an adaptation of the original. Although I'm not so sure I'd enjoy it more if they had adapted the original story, the evil exes were just not entertaining to watch either, most of them were kind of cringe, and not fun cringe, just sad corny cringe. I think it'd been better if it had been Ramona who had disappeared or something, I don't know, I wasn't expecting anything and was sure not amazed.

Not the show that was promised. And honestly, it could have been a fine show but they mismarketed it so awfully that it really ruins the whole experience for me. It's not totally awful, but certainly not for me.

I just wish they had either given us what they said they were giving us or advertised what they were actually making. I wouldn't have watched it if I had known what it was I don't think but still I wouldn't have been so annoyed that it happened. Or bitter that the thing I was promised is probably never going to exist now.

For those who haven't seen it but don't want it spoiled, it is NOT the plot of the graphic novels or the 2010 movie. It is something completely new and different. Not a sequel... just different.

I remember when I was a teenager, I watched this movie and was blown away by great margins. Some could even say Scott Pilgrim was ahead of its time. The series takes the radically awesome story a step further and explores new aspects.

I must admit it is damn straight impressive they got the original cast back even after all of these years. That fact alone is enough to earn my respect towards the Scott Pilgrim franchise and its creators.

The animation is vastly different from anything I have ever seen. It's tricky to describe it, but its a bizarrely epic style with brightness and motions like none other.

The story is unique from all expectations, but was explained properly in the Scott Pilgrim way. Like most people, we only have memory of the legendary movie, so this series takes it a step further.

Exploring sides of characters we have never seen before, and even for people like me who did not read the books. I didn't feel left out for a single moment throughout all of the episodes.

I have verified the story of this series is a spinoff compared to the source material. While this series is a great attempt, I do respect the fact this show was meant more to be a one time thing. As getting the original actors to come back to the series continously wasn't part of the agreement.

If this is the last of Scott Pilgrim we will see, I respect it. The series surpassed all expectations even if it was radically different. There was great potential to make this a continous series, and I guess that wasn't in the vision of the creators.

I really enjoyed it as I went going in not expecting much, loved the sketchy pencil animation and art style, the fights were very creative and fun. I feel the only let down for me was that it wasnt really my thing, and that's a me thing, and it suffered from the same things some of the move did as well as things I never really gelled with in the source material, because I will admit I never really liked Scott Pilgrim franchise, but this is the best I got out of it and that's maybe due to how awesome the animation and songs and just the overall aesthetic was.

It was a well crafted show all round, great acting from a returning cast and it made me smile in places. I only watched it out of curiosity and while I wasnt fully entertained I am glad I did watch it. If you are a fan and want to see a new perspective you could do far worse, I say check it out.

A great spin-off of a beloved franchise. Takes Off brings something new to the series by switching the narrative to Ramona's point of view. The animation is like reading the comics with hand-drawn effect, colorful scenery and effects. It has everything that people loved from the franchise with a lot of retro-gaming Easter eggs, absurd humor, hilarious characters, good pop-rock songs, and even the cast of the movie reprises their role as voice actor. I really like to give Ramona Flowers the first role, as not only she's fun to follow but also because it gives her a more to show than "this perfect alternative girl that makes people turns madly in love with", presenting her flaws even helps to give some humanity to her evil exes. Because of the absurd humor, there is a lot of "this happens, don't ask questions", people looking for a minimum of logic would see plot holes everywhere but if you are just there for the ride, it's a wild one.
