UPDATED, 5:45 AM: Netflix has dropped the first-look teaser for Scott Pilgrim Takes Off (official title), its upcoming anime series based on the classic graphic novels and 2010 film starring Michael Cera.

Sophia Scorziello editor Michael Cera reunites with Sex Bob-Omb — this time in animated form — for Netflix’s upcoming anime “Scott Pilgrim Takes Off.” The eight-episode series is helmed by animation studio Science Saru, and follows the cult-favorite story of bass-playing title character Scott Pilgrim and his battle of the bands and the exes.
