It's funny to think about it too, like technically he still didn't do anything because he didn't make the script, but he thinks he did, which drives him to do stuff lmao
Not only him, but we see other characters shine, like the evil exes. I gotta say I was waiting for a faithful adaptation of the comics, but I'm so glad we got something new
Graphic novel Neil: Kind of a watcher on, gets more cynical later in the story Movie Neil: A bit oblivious but has potential at the bass Anime Neil: Dumb as rocks and I love him
I think that future timeline isnt actually canon in the comic lore and that convinces me the divorce stuff isn't what happens after the comic book ending, because somewhere in the final volume of the book, Scott finally recognizes Neil for being such a cool mf and he officially gets called "Neil" not "YOUNG neil". So if thats the case then there shouldnt be a young in the "old young neil" in the future, therefore i think that ending is not canon. Lol mb for yapping i genuinely just wanted to say this to someone its been living in my head rent free for days so thanks
i now understand why the writers pushed scott aside. its so the more minor characters who we knew so little about get the screen time and special moments they deserve, like young neil and matthew patel. and not just that, but they are actually play important parts for the story. it kills me that people dont see this beautiful series the way i see it. hopefully the second season can focus more on scott.
Yeah, in both the novels and the movie, we mainly had a focus on Scott, and a little bit on Ramona, but not on the other minor characters, like Young Neil and the exes. But here in the anime, it’s nice to get a proper focus on Ramona, seeing her get closure between her and the exes, as well as seeing moments like these with some of the minor characters.
I love what they did with Neil, and every character pretty much in this Adaptation, but it's nice to see that they actually gave him *something* to do while still keeping him hilarious. Really hope he's still present in season 2 🙏
Good luck getting an all-star cast like that back together for a second season of an anime. I was already shocked that a freaking full-blown anime series had them in it. This was a rare treat I think.
Young Neil talks like a bee and puppy cat character and that alone is enough to make him my favorite, then they made him stupid and funny and now I love him sm lmao
Not gonna lie, there's something weirdly appealing about the voice acting in this show being so laid back and realistic compared to most cartoons out right now. It's charming, especially for characters like Neil, his performance was so freaking funny.
Young Neil in this show gives the same vibes of Todd from BoJack Horseman, a lovable airhead who's clearly not the brightest but somehow keep ending up in various situations.
“Have a seat. They’re about to roll the camera. Not like a bowling ball, the camera doesn’t roll at all…” He slipped into Dr Seuss there for a moment. I love that boi.
I like that in the epilogue, he still got to work in the movie industry and do relatively well. I loved that Ramona is working as a stunt double in his movies too!
Every adaptation of Scott pilgrim is different lol ya got the source the comic ya got the movie which did the novels but a abridged version ya got the video games which tbh ya can pick any character like this anime to fight the evil exes ! Then ya got takes off a series that is different and ya don’t know what to expect wit it .
im gonna be honest i left this surprise as hell with how much i liked it i really enjoyed seeing these characters interacting with each other and having the spot light instead of seeing scotts story for a 3rd time
Started getting into Scott Pilgrim around the time this show dropped and it's grown to be something I highly appreciate and wish i checked out sooner. Also Neil is literally me like yes
My two favorite lines from him are "He said that? Then who do you get to play Toronto?!" and "I don't remember writing that" as if he remembers writing the damn thing in the first place XD
@@davebob4973yes, Neil must discover his purpose in life, he can't just be the lost little puppy that follows the group around, he has a job now technically and he needs to work towards his dream.
The expansion of Neil and Wallace's characters was great, and spending time actually getting to know more about Ramona and her exes and the real emotional baggage was cool. Alternate history is neat that way, you can see new sides of things in a different timeline.
Honestly one of my favorite things they did was make Ramona have a warm side like she did in the books. In the movie they made her a total ice queen and the show has nice reactions like 1:35
I like that they're actually giving Neil stuff to do
It's funny to think about it too, like technically he still didn't do anything because he didn't make the script, but he thinks he did, which drives him to do stuff lmao

Anime Neil: Dumb as rocks and I love him
Game neil: npc moment
i love neil. he’s so freaking dumb i can kinda relate..
@@jollyrose7198fr fr
I can't wait for everyone now comparing the comic, movie and anime versions to each other
Movie Neil: "Hi, I'm Neil."
He sounds like he’s perpetually high on morphine and I love it
that exactly what i thought a slow but soothing voice lol
something about his cadence is very nice. Like the way he says, "not like a bowling ball, the camera doesn't roll at all" is very pleasing to the ear.
This is what Slime Boy from High Guardian Spice tried (and failed) to be.
@@jmaster4941 Slime Boy wasn't an acted character, Julian Koster, it's VA, just speaks like that constantly
Thats exactly what I thought. Throughout the whole show I was thinking, " why does he sound like a stoner?"
Neil is basically just Scott's cluelessness dialled up to eleven and I love it.
And without trauma.
I love how young Neil in the future is called "old young Neil"
Adult Neil is too powerful for mere mortals to aknowledge Him

@@androidmode8757the author said that the anime isn't connected to film/comics, and that's a self contained story, so yeah, you're right
I’ve never felt so represented in a tv show before
Same
same
Same, but my name’s not Neil… So, agree to disagree..
I don’t feel represented, I feel called out
Same

So that's why it's called Scott Pilgrim Takes Off. He literally took off ("died") and didn't come back for most of the show
@@kachosuffer7Still I think it should be something more Impactful when reveal more than just Take Off/ Took Off.
But did they have to KILL scott pilgrim though ? And also advertise it as a comic adaptation ?
@@Helm-0should've named it wheres Scott pilgrim? or something lol
Young Neil on this adaptation is basically "I didn't think I would get this far" and I love him for being such a lovable idiot
I love what they did with Neil, and every character pretty much in this Adaptation, but it's nice to see that they actually gave him *something* to do while still keeping him hilarious. Really hope he's still present in season 2 🙏
I just hope we get a season 2, knowing Netflix...
Wait… season 2???
Why do we need season 2?
@@zestytriss5282the last episode kinda set up for a season 2
Good luck getting an all-star cast like that back together for a second season of an anime. I was already shocked that a freaking full-blown anime series had them in it. This was a rare treat I think.
I never would’ve expected after finishing the series that Young Neil would be my favorite character.
Bro someone how got double the screen time from the comic lol
He was hilarious in this!
Young Neil is OFF THE CHAAAAAIN!
Well it’s Wallace for me.
Agree.. if I have to chose the MC, I chosing Young Neil instead of Scott
When Neil yelled "I'M A SCREENWRITER!" I realized: that was me.
and the sound from happy wheels played
Young Neil talks like a bee and puppy cat character and that alone is enough to make him my favorite, then they made him stupid and funny and now I love him sm lmao
Ok, I’m glad it’s not just me that felt like this. I loved so much of the comedy in this show because it reminded me of bee and puppycat
Ok, I knew something about how he talks was familiar
Dude i just realized i sound like a bee and puppycat character
Your telling me Johnny Simmons hasn’t done any other voice acting? He’s great in this!
That's what I said!!! I was genuinely surprised to learned he's never voice acted before
You can tell, but I quite like it
Dunno why but I guess its kinda the same reason I like Eddsworld voice acting
Yeah I need to see this voice act more.
@@danyo5786he is LITERALLY edd gould
@@danyo5786I feel like it kinda adds to Neil's cluelessness, and I love it
He’s gotta be the best character in the show
I think Wallace might be the best character in this show.
@@jefferyhanderson7849yeah too bad Wallace doesn’t get as much time as in the book but old Wallace was pretty cool
@@BG-xn5tu Young Wallace, old Wallace, both were pretty cool. But old Wllace had that more mature vibe that made him more awesome.
roxie for me. mae's performance blew me away. so unhinged
tbh he and Wallace are the best characters
Young Neil and knives were the highlight of this show for me.
And Kim ?
Young Noel of course
@@ezequielperez2224what did Kim do?
@@TheEmperorRaidoukiss a girl
@@keithharrissuwignjo2460 so did Roxie, and she's hotter than Kim

Favorite character right here. Nice representation for us airheaded ppl out there
There are no thoughts behind those eyes, I love him.
Young Neil’s dumbness in this show is just *chef’s kiss* perfect.
literally the living definition of "no thoughts, head empty"
Young Neil in this show gives the same vibes of Todd from BoJack Horseman, a lovable airhead who's clearly not the brightest but somehow keep ending up in various situations.
okay yeah, but hear me out, Flip from bojack
@@Trollerx1... that's an insult to Young Neil.
@@Trollerx1Hell no
and I love both characters with all of my heart 👉👈 wonder what that says about me
I love how every version of Neil absolutely carries the project
“They’re about to roll the camera. Not like a bowling ball, the camera doesn’t roll at all.” Straight up favorite line! 😁
The inner machinations of his mind are an enigma.
“Have a seat. They’re about to roll the camera. Not like a bowling ball, the camera doesn’t roll at all…”
He slipped into Dr Seuss there for a moment. I love that boi.
I like that in the epilogue, he still got to work in the movie industry and do relatively well. I loved that Ramona is working as a stunt double in his movies too!
There is a lot of people saying them not like the series but the producters say this a new thing. And these new thing is perfect
the new story good, the misleading advertising and agenda pushing bad, simple as that
‘A lot of people’? You mean a loud minority online?
Who?
@@junemac7515you mean a minority like Melonie who whines about everything or other people

0:48 this quote. I love this quote so goddamn much.
I love Young Neil in this show. Nearly line he said made me laugh and smile. He’s a good boy.
I like the turn they took with this. It's basically "what would have happened if Scott lost the first fight", and it gives more backstory into Ramona.
Well technically Scott losing the fight is what happened since future Scott is comic Scott where he won and the movie is just a movie in this universe
Future Scott basically destroyed the Canon Event by kidnapping his past self. Mathew was supposed be defeated and be another Villain of the Week. XD
I think Future Scott might be Scott Pilgrim Vs the world Scott
Dude when they called him “Old Young Neil” in the future I fucking lost my shit
I looked up the definition of "no thoughts, head empty" and all that came up was a picture of Young Neil.
I love this even more because Young Neil is probably the most normal of Scott’s friends in the comic.
I’m literally the same age as Young Neil and I can’t believe the writers made him such a relatable character
Him and Kim have been always my favourite ones. I'm very glad they gave them more screentime.
im gonna be honest i left this surprise as hell with how much i liked it i really enjoyed seeing these characters interacting with each other and having the spot light instead of seeing scotts story for a 3rd time
Bro, why is Young Neil so underrated? Like, he's one of the best characters in the comics, the movie, and this series! Who agrees with me?
He's a Psyduck in human form, just without the chronic headache: off in his own world and the redhead gal just barely tolerates having him around.
He's so silly love him
He sounds constantly stoned and I love it
Please go see Johnny Simmons other movies because I'm sure he's high in most of them
As an aspiring screenwriter I relate to Neil on a spiritual level
Doesn’t have much going on up there but he’s got the spirit
Young Neil seems like he’d be a character out of Eddsworld
He also acts like a Simpsons character.
Hell, most takes of a younger Homer Simpson are portrayed with a haircut that is similar to Neil's
1:42 love Ramona's face:3
Same.😂
Ditto
young neil sounds like he's voiced by young neil
I love the line “I don’t remember writing that part” 😳 when Wallace and Todd make out 😂
The way he talks is so endearing
I lost my shit when he said "Did you know" just like that dude from the youtube shorts, LMAO
Did you know gaming
Young Neil in this series is a nice and good guy.
Started getting into Scott Pilgrim around the time this show dropped and it's grown to be something I highly appreciate and wish i checked out sooner. Also Neil is literally me like yes
my fav for years hes so me coded
So true
1:11 i love his golf kart that inexplicably eminates that mario kart 64 soundin ass music
wait why did ramona never question how neil couldnt have known who the other 6 exes were
his voice is really nice in this show holy shit
What's crazy is that this is the first role Johnny Simmons has had in anything in like...7 years.
Neil is violent, not just a character that just hangs out with the guy. He has a role in this story. 👏 😊
My two favorite lines from him are "He said that? Then who do you get to play Toronto?!" and "I don't remember writing that" as if he remembers writing the damn thing in the first place XD
Young Neil being such a space cadet is the best.
he's such a nice guy
I like that Neil was more bummed that he lost the golf cart cart instead of the fact he was basically fired as a Producer.
They really expanded Young Neil's role and character in the anime.
Young Neil Gumped it hard in this series.
He's such a little freak I love him
there is not a single thought in young neil's head. hes just like me fr
Young Neil has been my favorite character for YEARS! I was so excited when I saw Takes Off gave my boy another chance at life.
I love how the title doesn't even refer to any particular character trait. He's Young Neil and that's all you need to know.
I love that Young Neil is such a himbo in the anime.
The “Cronenberg For President” on his shirt is such a funny detail. He truly is a cinephile.
hes such a vibe
If season 2 happens I want Scott pilgrim as the actual main character of his show and also more Neil
thats not enough neil i want neil to be the main character
@@davebob4973yes, Neil must discover his purpose in life, he can't just be the lost little puppy that follows the group around, he has a job now technically and he needs to work towards his dream.
“Woah 😦 I 👁 wrote 📝 a screenplay in my sleep 😴… IM A SCREENWRITER 🤩🤩🤩🤩🥳🥳🥳🥳
he's too cute i can't
He's the best boi.
I LOVE HIM SM😭💕
Young Neil is my new favorite character
“Who’s bringing explosive chemicals to a movie set??”
Neil has so much more personality in this show.
Like, just by having personality at all.
god i love his silly little face, i feel like kelsey jannings looking at todd chavez
I was waiting for the Young Neil compilation ngl... he's literally me...
God i f**** love his voice
2:27 Wallace jumpscare
The expansion of Neil and Wallace's characters was great, and spending time actually getting to know more about Ramona and her exes and the real emotional baggage was cool. Alternate history is neat that way, you can see new sides of things in a different timeline.
The way he talks is like he’s thinking hard about everything he says before he says it but he still always just says stupid things.
the perfect supercut. my dear precious himbo.
Young Neil is so funny
0:26 massive foreshadowing
0:46 I love that Windows 3.1 tada sound cover xP
hes such a cutie patootie :(
Honestly one of my favorite things they did was make Ramona have a warm side like she did in the books. In the movie they made her a total ice queen and the show has nice reactions like 1:35

Young Neil is the most loveable idiot I have ever seen.
