Chiptune alt-rock band Anamanaguchi are having a bumper year, culminating in an opportunity to create the soundtrack they've always wanted to make - for a new Scott Pilgrim game S cott 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 shลnen-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. It is also, of course, a hit movie, a 2022 Netflix anime series, and a 2010 video game - the last two of which were soundtracked by New York City-based indie rock band Anamanaguchi.
