This is a perfect combination.

The animation studio involved is Science Saru, which did Keep your Hands off Eizouken; which is on HBOMax and CR. It's highly worth a watch to get how buckwild the animation style for this might go for.

This will Science Saru second trippy musical style animation since Lu Over the Wall!

It's probably the most defining moment to how high quality the show is going to be.

Their most notable works go for Devilman Crybaby, Lu Over The Wall, and Keep your Hands off Eizouken; as-well as TO-B1 and Akakiri from SWVisions. Their workstaff are just the absurd, crazy, and unhinged, that makes absolute sense for Scott Pilgrim. Add on the OG creator and the original adaptation's team onboard for this; and it'll be a fantastic return that could hopefully expand a lot more of the source material.

I am really curious to see what Saru does the in the art style here. Extremely curious.

Don't sleep on this. Edgar Wright and Bryan Lee O'Malley's evolved handling of the show with Science Saru's animation is genuinely phenomenal; with Ellen Wong and Audrey Plaza killing it.

Spoiler: Scott Pilgrim Takes Off Spoilers (wait, spoilers?)

The fact that this becomes essentially the first real sequel project Edgar Wright is involved allows something unique to come to form. Almost like Final Fantasy 7 Remake, this is a take on the Scott Pilgrim story that genuinely allows a lot more room to be handled for the long format. Explains a lot to why the entire cast got onboard; especially in allowing them to build up the relationships and characters of Ramona, Knives, the League, and of the ensemble at large.

Almost in a way; it's very similar to that of FLCL in just how far Science Saru goes at it in advancing what is possible on the animation front too.

I've only watched episode one but so far enjoying it

The style works soooooo well an d it's insane how after 12 years many actors just sound the same
