Scott Pilgrim Takes Off

i don't usually watch anything, and i am pretty illiterate in moving picture genres, but i have watched Scott Pilgrim Against the World film, and liked it.

Well, I didn't like it immediately, I tried to watch it like 15 times across several years, and didn't make it through first 15-20 minutes.

Then at some point I liked it very much, watched several times.

Recently at friend's house (he has Netflix) I was browsing anime section in search of something not bloody and brutal, and found these series:

and i liked these series immediately and very much.

first episode follows the film almost exactly, but then later episodes are different.

the storyline is very engaging, maybe even this is more interesting and more beautiful than the original story.

There's a lot of people that complained about it (me including, at first) that didn't understand the split in direction or some of the plot points here wherein the original chronolgy there was never any of these developments -or- anything to indicate them in the first place.

UNTIL I F@*%IN GOT OVER MYSELF!! and then I realized that it's filling in everything that they DIDN'T address, because the original chronolgy wasn't -for- that. It's this new iteration that makes those developments on these characters like the twins or gideon graves (which turned out to be the guy Scott beat up years ago ?!) because it calls for it to address what's wrong and right with all of 'em each.

ya i like the anime series (it's actual anime! REAL japanese production company wtf?!) and the movie and the comics. Nothin beats the comics, but I feel like this new TV series is an apt continuation of where all that stuff left off (albeit, STILL not addressing Stephen's coming out, the stuff between knives and kim, etc and so on also HEY WTF I JUST REALIZED EVERYONE SHAT ON SCOTT FOR MESSIN WITH KNIVES AT HER AGE BUT WTF IS KIM DOIN GOIN AND-ok ok enough of that)
