The ‘early look’ of the anime, which you can see above, sees Rick once again taking on the role of depressing philosopher. He says: “Despite the fact there are an infinite number of paths available to us, we only get one to pick from.”
Anime Rick – as I’ll refer to him until we get a universe designation – then says cryptically, “And the dumbest part of all is that we’re the ones who chose it for ourselves… at least in my case, anyway.”
Maybe we’ll get some answers in the upcoming 10-episode anime series, directed by Takashi Sano and produced by Studio Deen.
“The multiverse-straddling exploits of Rick and the gang pose challenges to the family bond, but they always rise to the occasion. “It’s such a life-affirming sight, and Jerry is no exception,” Sano previously said in a statement. “I am honored to have been given an opportunity to tell a new story about this amazing family. I hope you enjoy their adventures!”
