The graphic novels were first published in 2004 and ran up until 2010 when the film was released. The seven graphic novel series followed musician Scott Pilgrim who happens to fall in love with Ramona Flowers and must battle her seven evil exes to win her love. The cartoonish and comedic take on video games, anime, and music led to a critically acclaimed series that followed with Wright’s film adaptation that was not what one considers a financial success but is highly regarded and loved by fans as a cult classic. This has also spawned a video game adaptation that was adapted as a retro side-scrolling arcade game.
Joining Cera and the previously named cast will be Satya Bhabha, Kieran Culkin, Anna Kendrick, Alison Pill, Brandon Routh, Jason Schwartzman, Johnny Simmons, Mark Webber, Mae Whitman, and Ellen Wong. The series will be animated by the same studio that brought us Devilman Crybaby, with Science SARU taking on the animation. The anime series looks to adapt the seven graphic novels and also expand on the source material of the graphic novels.
The soundtrack of the anime series will have music from composer Anamanaguchi who composed the music for the Scott Pilgrim video game and will provide original music for the anime series alongside Joseph Trapanese. BenDavid Grabinski will executive produce alongside O’Malley who is joined by Eunyoung Choi, Edgar Wright, Nira Park, Marc Platt, Jared LeBoff, and Adam Seigel. Abel Gongora will helm the series.
Scott Pilgrim vs. the World‘s anime series does not have a release date but stay tuned as more information is revealed.
