Scott Pilgrim, the graphic novel saga penned by creator Bryan Lee O’ Malley that became a mainstream hit and spawned a feature film directed by Edgar Wright comes full circle as according to The Hollywood Reporter, Netflix and Universal Studios’ UCP TV production division are currently in the early stages of developing an anime adaptation of the graphic novel series, with Science SARU attached as the animation studio and studio head Eunyoung Choi attached as one of the producers.
The graphic novel takes heavy inspiration from Japanese manga tropes, the art style and overarchoing plots in each volume standing out as examples.
Should the series get a greenlight for production, it would mark a full circle moment for creator O’ Malley as he’s signed on to write and executive produce the series.
