Misuse; the show wasn't even reviewed, so it can't have been "panned.


* HePannedItNowHeSucks: An interesting case with the website ''My Anime List'', as it's not a review that has gotten everybody angry with them, but the site's absolute refusal to add the show to its list. This is despite the fact that ''Scott Pilgrim: Takes Off'' hits every criteria for an anime that the site itself has posted and that the reasons for not listing it don't make much sense given there are many anime that are listed that would fall under those exclusionary reasons.

Kim and Roxie do not as of yet have canonical love interests in either the timeline of the book or the show.


** Todd and Wallace. [[spoiler:Many fans found Todd whipped love towards the usually cold and narcissistic Wallace to be very entertaining and their pairing very cute, which made them a couple the fans preferred much more than Wallace's eventual canon relationship with Mobile, a character that the viewers barely have time to meet and get to know.]]
** Despite the immediate ShipSink due to them failing to feel any chemistry, and the former seemingly having a ShipTease with Lucas Lee and possibly Hollie Hawkes, [[spoiler:Kim and Roxie is a somewhat popular ship due to them sharing a BigDamnKiss at the end of "Ramona Rents A Video"]]

** Todd and Wallace. Despite still ending up with their canon romances from the comic, Scott/Wallace still reigns supreme. It probably helps that [[spoiler:Old Scott was still living with Wallace in the future, with the show even going so far as to pull a BaitAndSwitch, making seem like Old Scott got remarried to Wallace after his falling out with Old Ramona before revealing Wallace actually has an unseen husband (presumably Mobile) who works at Nintendo]]. Fans of the ship like to head canon that Wallace made [[spoiler:Todd wear his actor costume of Scott during their make out sessions]].
** Alternative, fans also prefer Wallace/Todd to Wallace/Mobile.

* NoYay: While Kim and Knives were a fan favorite pairing in the past it has been mostly rejected by the current fanbase as many see it as just as problematic as Scott dating Knives due to Kim still being around Scott's age. This trope comes into play with Kim and Knives' jam session. The scene is full of "sparks" which are used multiple times in the series to denote romance as well as a big heart shown between the two as they play. A lot of fans do not like the implications.

** Ramona supplanting Scott as the starring character may seem like a weird choice to play out, but this is not the first time it has happened. In ''VideoGame/ScottPilgrimVsTheWorldTheGame'', you can play with the starring characters of the books/movie, but playing with Scott will NOT give you the comics' (canon) ending, but rather an ending about how Scott learning absolutely nothing from his experiences. Playing with ''Ramona'', on the other hand actually gives you the canon ending where Scott and Ramona learn about their mistakes and end up in a healthy relationship, meaning she ''is'' the starring character in the titular character's own game.

** [[spoiler:Even Older Scott kidnaps the people important in his life in order to kill them and avoid Scott and Ramona from getting together, thus sparing his BadFuture. However, apparently this doesn't include Wallace, Stacey, Envy, or Lisa Miller. Did he spare them because he couldn't bring himself to kill his old friend and roommate, younger sister, childhood friend, [[MyFriendsAndZoidberg and ex?]] Or did they just simply not have anything to do with the Anti-Kiss Fields?]]

* LGBTFanbase: The series always had a significant queer audience due to its representation, but this one really hit it off with gay fans due to Lucas Lee looks making him a darling for Bara fanart. On the other hand, Wallace's bitchy gay persona is still considered a delight by gay fans and his newfound [[spoiler:fling with Todd has been very well received, even more than his actual canon romance.]]


Added DiffLines:

* ShipsThatPassInTheNight: Lucas/Todd has become a bit of a darling for Bara fans due to the good looks of both characters.
