Scott Pilgrim creator Bryan Lee O'Malley has shared some of his thoughts in response to fan's feelings on the anime's changes. If you weren't aware, Scott Pilgrim Takes Off, Netflix's anime adaptation of the modern classic comic book, is a bit different from its source material.

So over on Instagram, O'Malley clarified some details about the production of the anime, in an attempt to make it clear that it's "its own thing." O'Malley shared these details in an Instagram story post, shared on the Scott Pilgrim subreddit, where he wrote, "I personally wrote every script with [BenDavid Grabinski].

The comic creator then went on to explain that he thinks "the anime timeline is its own thing. It comments on the book and the movie, but it isn't meant to replace them. It's just a new iteration that starts at the beginning again." Read more
