Done by a Japanese studio but produced by Westerners. So I don’t see it in MAL. But I’m looking forward to excellent Scott Pilgrim vs. Za Warudo edits.
Would be hilarious if this replaces King of the Hill in subbed (English) vs. dubbed (Japanese) debates.
Is Scott Pilgrim an anime?
It’s being animated by Science Saru (Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken, Ping Pong The Animation, etc…), so I would say it is.
Wouldn’t that make a lot of western cartoons anime too since good chunks of them tend to be outsourced to eastern studios? I believe TAWOG was done in south korea
I mean Wickie and Heidi the old german tv shows where produced in japan so they count as anime
Many of the cast is from the 2011 movie, very excited!
So it looks pretty much like the same story from the movie, even has the same cast (doing voice over instead of acting).
So… why?
Nostalgia & Capitalism.
