Scott Pilgrim Takes Off debuted with Netflix earlier this Fall, and now fans have gotten a new behind the scenes look at its development with Science Saru in a special behind-the-scenes featurette! Scott Pilgrim made the leap from the page to the screen to anime in one of the wildest trajectories a franchise could hope to have. Series creator Bryan Lee O’Malley returned to the series to tell a completely new story for the new take on the comics, and it was all brought to life by the same studio behind shows like Devilman Crybaby, the upcoming Dandadan, and more.
