"Scott Pilgrim, the series of pop culture-saturated graphic novels by Canadian author and comic book artist Bryan Lee O'Malley, has become a timeless epic about teenage insecurity, love and redemption, and the intersection of arrogance and self-esteem as well as a Canadian interpretation of emo, indie rock and shonen-style comic books. It is a coming-of-age tale about an initially unlikable teenage boy growing up in the 00s, who matures through six graphic novels that deftly reference everything from Japanese manga to western superheroes, video games and Tintin."
"Anamanaguchi gained some notoriety for using video game hardware in their early, instrumental music, becoming one of the pioneering bands in the chiptune genre all while they were still at college. During the band's first self-funded tour, during which Berkman slept on the couch of the band he was supporting, he got amessage out of nowhere. I got an email from somebody working at Ubisoft about a video game for a universal IP tie-in, and they didn't go any further than that. Could that be the new Alien vs Predator game or something like that?', I thought. But I knew that no matter what when I brought that back to the band, we would say yes to whatever it was we had all grown up loving video game and movie soundtracks."
Scott Pilgrim is a pop-culture-saturated coming-of-age epic that blends emo, indie rock, shonen manga, video games, western superheroes and Tintin across six graphic novels. The story follows an initially unlikable teenage boy growing up in the 2000s who matures through experiences of insecurity, love and redemption. The property expanded into a hit film, a 2022 Netflix anime series and a 2010 video game. The Netflix anime includes understated slice-of-life music moments, such as Knives and Kim jamming together. New York City-based indie band Anamanaguchi, known for pioneering chiptune music using video game hardware, provided soundtrack contributions after an unexpected Ubisoft email.
