The Scott Pilgrim anime opening credits are a real banger, of course
This much we know to be true: If your TV show features a badass rock band, you better have some badass rock music. And Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, Netflix’s upcoming animated adaptation of Bryan Lee O’Malley’s indelible comic series has released its figurative submission to the figurative “anime openings to never skip” contest.
