If Scott Pilgrim Takes Off has made me want anything, its more slice of life animated series. I'm bias, but my favorite parts of the show were the more conversational pieces. They were cathartic and interesting. This is such an untapped well at the moment. Give me more, please.

Not a spoiler, but my favorite scene in Scott Pilgrim Takes Off is when Ramona and Kim are talking and then for no particular reason Kim has a weird, out of character walk cycle. It's such a bizarre, cool touch.

Tom Kenny is getting a lot of praise for Fionna & Cake, which is well deserved, but if you still haven't watched Mission Hill, his performance as Wally is absolutely amazing and his dynamic with Nick Jameson is so real and wholesome.

I think there's a hesitancy to just animate characters talking about things. I get it, some people don't find that interesting, but if you go back to the indie comics boom of the 90s, it's what lead up to Scott Pilgrim's more down to Earth scenes.
