Oh, that's what that was! Sorry, it's been awhile since I read Scott Pilgrim. Hey speaking of which, dude...That getting an adlut swim show! Maybe flesh out those 2-deminsola charcaters abit more. I remeber the only thing I hated about Scott Pilgrim was it just ENDED. Love to see where that would go.

It tries too hard to pander to the "I was an awkward kid in high school" demographic. The characters are supposed to be appealing, but they're so full of themselves that all I want to do is punch them.

I disagree. I think the entire [comic] series is built up upon how unappealing the characters are. Scott is a total prick, Ramona is a whore, Sex Bob-omb are a terrible band, Knives is a stalker, Envy is a diva... I could go on and on. The merit of the series is derived from how the characters grow and develop into mature, more generally decent people.
I mean, I could say the same things about early QC, as much as I loved the first few hundred QCs. I could argue that it tried too hard to pander to the "I am a twenty-something [indie] music snob" demographic. The characters, while being appealing, were also so full of self-confidence problems that I often wanted to punch them. Martin didn't have a spine, Faye led Martin on, Dora was a tease, etc, etc.
maddness:
I haven't watched adult swim in a while, but I used to be really fond of their anime nights.
