“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.
For the person who already loves the property, the anime will deepen that love; for the uninitiated, or those overwhelmed by the movie’s high-speed pacing, it’s a great entry point—an incredibly entertaining, touching action-comedy.

"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.
“Scott Pilgrim Takes Off” is simple and fun, but it’s not exactly meant for kids. .... Rather, the show is meant for former kids revisiting an old favorite through more grown-up eyes.
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.
Some of the sound effects may be lifted from retro video games but the emotions are operatic, evoking that time of life when falling in love is at its most precarious and intense. It’s quite the rush.
“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).

**** einer Wertung von 85 hab ich grundsätzlich mehr erwartet. Zwischendurch sehr langatmig. Für Teenager vielleicht was, aber für mich als junger Erwachsener als auch für Kinder nix.

Carried by rock-solid animation from Science Saru and some incredible scores provided by Anamanaguchi and Trapanese, the show is very unfortunately bogged down by questionable pacing, shoddy editing, amateurish sound design, bad voice work (in the English version, the Japanese and Spanish versions are SPECTACULAR but most people won't watch the show this way like I did). The story tries to go in an interesting direction, but combine that with the aforementioned shoddy pacing, weird character writing that teeters on parody for many characters (looking at you Gideon), and an entirely undeserved and head-scratching climax, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is something that while I didn't hate, I don't see myself returning to anytime soon, glad that it is finding a home in the hearts of many though even if not me.

A creator’s disdain for their source material is rarely so apparent as in Scott Pilgrim Takes Off. Not only is the titular character absent for the majority of the eight episode run; those who remain are joylessly reprised by the original cast of Edgar Wright’s (good) live-action adaptation. And it’s no wonder the performances feel so phoned-in: the story here is meandering, aimless, and uninspired, and the quirky pop culture references that characterised the original comics do little to help. Through it all, I couldn’t help but wonder whether I had simply outgrown Scott Pilgrim, but I was pulled from my self-reflective abyss when the following line elicited my first involuntary, audible laugh: “From one creative to another, just know we’re making every effort to treat the material with respect.”
Report
When the show doesn’t lean on the movie like a crutch (they one for one remake a lot of scenes in the beginning), it fails miserably. The movie is way more fun, just rewatch that since Scott’s barely in this show due to an ol’ switcherooni.
