Scott Pilgrim Takes Off Wins Best Animated Series at 2024 Critics Choice Awards

Scott Pilgrim Takes Off really took off with fans when the anime series debuted with Netflix last Fall, and now the series has won big at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards! Bryan Lee O'Malley's Scott Pilgrim comic series made a surprising comeback last year with a new anime series adaptation with Science Saru, the studio behind releases such as Devilman Crybaby and the upcoming Dandadan. The series was a hit with Scott Pilgrim fans as it ended up being a much different kind of experience than initially expected, and it seems that's made it a hit with critics as well. 

The Netflix original anime series was one of the surprising nominations for the Best Animated Series award at the 2024 Critics Choice Awards, and Scott Pilgrim Takes Off ended up winning the award in a very packed category that also included Bluey, Bob's Burgers, Harley Quinn, Star Trek: Lower Decks, and Young Love. So that makes it quite the huge kind of win for anime fans as it's made its name among these other big animated franchises.
