Could this potentially be one of the most expensive anime VO casts? Seriously, these are all huge actors for the most part. Also, I can't wait to see the cast for characters that never appeared in the movie. Finally, what about the kateyanagi twins? They were played by actors who never knew english, and if they adapt the comic, they have a decent amount of speaking lines.

Oh yeah, this is happening! And the whole cast is returning? That's actually pretty neat

That's.... disappointing. Many of them were complete miscasts and were nothing like their comic counterparts (Scott especially). Is it going to be based on the live-action movie and not the comic then or going to be some weird hodgepodge/new thing.

"Miscasts" my ass, the movie was near perfect. Couldn't be any more happier with these news.

Bryan Lee O'Malley is deeply involved in this, along with Edgar Wright. |

Just wondering, but have you ever read the original comic? Because the movie was quite different from it, especially the character portrayals. |

That’s a very large budget for A-list stars for a movie that didn’t do that great at the box office (it was up against The Expendables but still).
Still want to see some visuals soon. |

Now that´s a neat gimmick. The movie wasn´t better or worse than the then-unfinished comic and people will continue to debate which version is better but the comic is a 00s product. A lot of it, as its take on queer characters, is dated and would get flack today so expect changes even if the now-period setting is retained.

Personally, that's why the comic was fun. It's peak early 00s distillation that represents my growing years. But yeah, I imagine they'll probably censor and change stuff for 'modern sensibilities' as is the case with these kinds of projects unfortunately. Don't have too much hope for it with how so many other reboots of old things always end up turning out. |

That's cool they got the cast back. It reminds me of that animated short on Scott and Kim's relationship that also used the movie VA's.
I'm just curious how the animation will look considering I'm expecting they'll be going for something similar to the comic. |

Looking forward to it, though would be good if like the Fruits Basket anime reboot they did the whole comic this time. Also people saying this cast is A-listers or whatever, they are not, with the possible exception of Chris Evans. There's lot of good actors there, but these are character actors on the whole or people who mainly do independent projects, it's not like they got DiCaprio, Sandra Bullock and Matt Damon or something.

It was my favorite series back in it's prime, probably because I was the same age as the characters then. I still have a soft spot in my heart for it, but it is definitely a product of its time. I mean both the comic and movie open up with "Scott Pilgrim is dating a high-schooler"
I had no idea that Bryan had done a cover of Shojo Beat! |

I agree it's a 'product of the time' but not for any kind of moral or sensibility reasons. It was made and represents an era before nerd culture went mainstream. In an era where Big Bang Theory is super huge and Star Wars and superhero cinema is so grossly oversaturated to the point of fatigue it almost seems quaint to make a show like this.
Honestly, it'll probably be pretty cringe if it's kept the same. And if it's updated to be about modern nerd references, it'll be pretty cringe in a new kind of way. Haven't read the comic since I was in high school though. I wonder how my tolerance for ironic hipster nerd humor is these days... |

Don't worry, that still happens in the current day. It'll be relatable to modern audiences. the only thing that wont have aged well is Scott singing Backstreet Boys and other mid-2000s indie Canadian bands no one knows about in the year 2023. |
