Rainbows and Rollerblades: The queer evolution of the Scott Pilgrim series - Anime Feminist
www.animefeminist.com
This series has always been queer, it’s just been handled in different ways, with earnest character writing that nonetheless reflected the stereotypes and assumptions of the early 2000s, before unfolding into a more careful, nuanced narrative of sexual fluidity and love in the 2020s.

    I was never super critical of the queer representation in the movie because it is probably my favorite movie, but the article raised good points and I agree that the treatment of Roxie left a lot to be desired. Pleasantly surprised that the new anime was as good as it was! I still think I love the film more because of the crisp dialogue and visual comedy

    I should reread the comics, I loaned them to a friend who loaned them to a friend and they were never seen again.
