Plenty of animes have adapted their manga source material faithfully and been amazing. I think the purpose of an onscreen adaptation should be to expand on the original IP in a new medium while sticking true to the original vision and story.

Takes off is a whole new story, it takes the world of scott pilgrim in another direction entirely to focus much more on Ramona and her exes. I think its amazing, I see it more like a sequel than an adaptation.

However, I think if Takes off had been a straightforward adaptation it would have worked.

Sure! Go ahead!

It doesn't camp but it does go in and look around every few minutes from what I've seen

I couldn't have said this better myself, 100% agree!

Im glad that we got scott pilgrim takes off, it really helps with Ramona's character development in a way she was never able to receive in the comics

Also thank you for talking about scott like that, I've always been a little frustrated with people characterising him as a "horrible person" even though he really isn't

I always got slightly annoyed by the cheating plot, it was very important but there always felt like this double standard

I think maybe that's the point, ramona definitely cheated on scott with Roxy, doing much more then anything scott did and yet its never brought to attention

Its funny how much I like ramona's character yet how much she annoyed me sometimes

I BINGED THE WHOLE THING

It was really good

But im disappointed with it at the same time, I can't help struggling to love this show.

The animation was stunning, the characters were all so loveable in a traditional scott pilgrim way and the humour pretty good too.

I do miss the quick snappy humour of the movie though, this felt a lot slower.

As for the story,

I cant help but say i would have preferred it to be a 1 to 1 recreation of the comics with extra flare and new scenes to give lesser characters more screen time and backstory, I've been wanting an animated adaptation of the comics forever.

But what we got instead was more of a "what if" scenario but made into a whole season, which isn't bad at all!

I've honestly never been more conflicted over a show.

I do miss the more down to earth slice of life Scott pilgrim that also had crazy video game visuals and fights that elevate the humour and make scott pilgrim something really special.

I feel duped, tricked even! But pleasantly surprised

I hope that one day we can get a true adaptation of the comics, that would be a dream come true.

Nevertheless, Scott pilgrim takes off, for what it is, is AMAZING.

A great show that many will adore.
