The expansive “Rick and Morty” multiverse just got somewhat bit greater. The hit Adult Swim animated series just debuted the first-ever footage from the hotly anticipated anime spinoff series simply titled, “Rick and Morty: The Anime.”
In response to the teaser, the brand new anime-inspired show will debut with 10 episodes on Adult Swim and HBO Max “sometime this 12 months.”
Takashi Sano is the spinoff director and previously helmed the anime shorts “Rick and Morty vs. Genocider” and “Summer Meets God (Rick Meets Evil).”
“The multiverse-straddling exploits of Rick and the gang pose challenges to the family bond, but they all the time rise to the occasion,” Sano said in an earlier press release. “It’s such a life-affirming sight, and Jerry isn’t any exception. I’m honored to have been given a chance to inform a brand new story about this amazing family. I hope you enjoy their adventures!”
The early preview of “Rick and Morty: The Anime” shows Morty on a brand new planet with a brand new alien species, who’re all celebrating the undeniable fact that he saved their planet. Morty toys and holograms are prominently displayed throughout their world. An indication with the words “Joyful Independence Day” and an image of Morty’s face is strung across a constructing while the alien species radio explains that Morty is about to be honored. If the anime is anything like the unique material, it will all eventually end in tears for somebody in some unspecified time in the future.
More previews of the brand new series dropped earlier within the month of May including this take a look at anime Summer and anime Rick. It also included a sneak peek at the brand new voice actors working with the characters.
Past episodes have garnered as much as 10 million views on Youtube. Here’s the total video of “Rick and Morty vs. Genocider.”
