Hold on to your butts, folks, because Rick and Morty is returning for more sci-fi adventures in anime form – and this time, it’ll be a TV series, rather than a short film.
In the first look at this new take, which is very similar to the original – though the animation style is slightly different and Rick is, well, a samurai – we see Morty’s sister Summer (Akiha Matsui) try to help the titular mad scientist navigate through space… and parallel dimensions. Unfortunately for him, though, Rick flies a little too close to a distortion and winds up surrounded by multiple versions of himself from other universes.
“Still can’t believe the duo is actually getting there own anime series,” one fancommented on YouTube. “The acting in every character looks amazing. Looking forward to it next year.”
“This looks really good! Hope the team who made this happen have a good day,” wrote another. “Funny work.”
“Props to Adult Swim for actually fully going though with this. It’s a unique way to build the franchise up instead of a generic spin off,” said a third.
