Wednesday, September 27, 2023, saw Netflix begin streaming a promotional video clip that revealed the Scott Pilgrim anime cast’s voices for the first time. While fans have technically heard the cast in these respective roles before via the live-action film, this video marks the first time their anime reprisals have been heard.

With one of the most celebrated aspects of the upcoming series’ production being to bring back the live-action actors for voice acting roles, the Scott Pilgrim anime cast has been a focal point. Although not much information was known about the series besides its cast up to this point, it has remained the predominant topic of discussion despite a release date being announced.

If nothing else, this emphasizes how central the Scott Pilgrim anime cast reprisals seem to be for the series’ eventual success upon its mid-November 2023 debut on the platform. With a full staff list having also been announced, fans eagerly await the next adaptation entry in creator Bryan Lee O’Malley’s original graphic novel franchise.
