Scott Pilgrim Takes Off has music that’s a perfect match for its vibe - Polygon

Music has always been an integral part of Scott Pilgrim. There are the in-universe bands – Sex Bob-omb, The Clash at Demonhead, The Katayanagi Twins – and the (often banger) songs they play, and Scott Pilgrim vs. the World added a lot of moody and groovy music to the mix to help complement the hyper-stylized approach Edgar Wright took to the adaptation.

The new Netflix anime adaptation, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, appropriately flies with this idea. The music is vibrant and energetic, matching the lively animation from Science Saru and amplifying what makes this such a spectacular and new adaptation of a familiar work. In short, the soundtrack is full of bops, and it makes a great show even better.

Despite that the show has Western showrunners and the cast returning from the movie, Science Saru’s presence makes Scott Pilgrim Takes Off unquestionably an anime. And paying homage to the legacy of Japanese animation, the opening credits whip, with the propulsive song “Bloom” by Japanese rock band Necry Talkie working in concert with fantastic animation from the Science Saru crew (Devilman Crybaby, Keep Your Hands off Eizouken!). Opening with a strong bassline — a lot of Scott Pilgrim music is bass-heavy, come to think of it — “Bloom” then brings in an 8-bit-style keyboard to further accentuate the video game vibes of the Scott Pilgrim world.

But “Bloom” isn’t the only banger in the mix. With much of the show’s original music composed by Joseph Trapanese (Tron: Legacy) and chiptune band Anamanaguchi (Scott Pilgrim vs. the World: The Game) in eight episodes that are bursting to the brim with life and energy, there’s plenty of room for the soundtrack to shine.
