Not a fan of Scott Pilgrim, but this is a perfect companion game to Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game (in case if any of you have forgotten about the game).

New Scott Pilgrim game!? Yes please!

I wonder if the 7 playable characters will be the same roster as the last one?

Neither the comic nor the game are made in Japan so.. why is this being reported, exactly? Just because it got a Japanese animated show one time? Is Scott Pilgrim now ANN approved? Laughing

The book’s creator is half Asian. And was inspired to write and draw the book from having read Ranma 1/2 along with the works of other artists

Hmm... Manga and anime... As you get older, it's hard to trace the steps that got you here. I think the biggest & strongest influence is Rumiko Takahashi (mainly Ranma 1/2) and to a lesser extent, Atsuko Nakajima who did the character designs for the Ranma anime (and many others). I was really into that look in high school and it's how I got into "drawing anime" (that and Sailor Moon). Around then I was also really into character designs by Yoshiyuki Sadamoto (Evangelion) and Range Murata (various). Akira Toriyama and Kenichi Sonoda are still important to me as manga artists. A bit later, obviously the FLCL anime was a big deal for me (although not as much of a direct influence on Scott Pilgrim as people seem to think). Another big manga artist influence for me as I started to get more serious about comics was Yuji Iwahara (Koudelka, King of Thorn, etc). He had more of a hybrid Americanized style, and his exploded page layouts for Koudelka were a direct influence on Scott Pilgrim's full-bleed layouts. The big one in my adult life is Osamu Tezuka, who I got heavily into between vol 3 and 4 of Scott Pilgrim. You can see his influence start to creep in here and there but he's a larger inspirational figure to me than just his drawing style. There's also Mitsuru Adachi, who is of an older generation and is a complete master of comics. Oh, and right now Natsume Ono is a big influence on my page layouts. She's awesome.


Also if you spent any length of time on here you’d know that ANN doesn’t exclusively report on news from Japan, Anime, or Manga.

But of course why reconcile that when we can can beat the dead horse of “How is this anime?” That often crops up here.

Uh, you're aware that AniDB, and Anilist has identified Scott Pilgrim Takes Off as anime and counted it in their database (Myanimelist/MAL is another story).

If you're thinking that doesn't count as anime. Then what if I told you that Catwoman: Hunted even though it was animated by a Japanese studio, and directed by a Japanese director isn't classified as anime meanwhile other DC Comic animation that was animated in Japan like Suicide Squad Isekai, and Batman: Ninja are classified as anime. If you want to go down that road, I'm up for a debate on there.
