I started watching the Netflix original "Scott Pilgrim Takes Off". I already had high expectations for it, but they were far exceeded. The animation is truly amazing, think if Spider-Verse was 2D. Not to mention the characters, writing, and music. I'm only partway through the third episode, but I'm already waiting for a second season to be announced.

It already has a perfect score of 100% on Rotten Tomatoes. And with SPTO being such a good show, I'm starting to see why some people aren't too fond of movies these days. Almost every major film released in November has recieved mediocre-at-best reviews. A question studios will have to answer is, why should audiences spend time and money going to the theater to see an average film when they can get better entertainment at home for no additional cost?

That being said, I'd love to see Scott Pilgrim's animation style on the big screen.

We started watching it but is it just the movie audio over animation?

Is it anime, or animated?

It's an American-Japanese co-production, so I'd say it was anime, but you have to say it with a rising inflection like it's a question.
