Network releases first video of the upcoming anime series, featuring the titular anti-heroes in their brand-new aesthetic, set to stream on Max later this year.
Adult Swim recently took to YouTube to reveal a sneak peek for Rick and Morty: The Anime, the upcoming 10-episode 2D animated series following Rick as he encounters multiple versions of himself from parallel universes.
Based on the Emmy-award-winning adult animated series, the anime adventure will debut on Adult Swim and Max. Director Takashi Sano (Tower of God) previously directed two anime shorts, Rick and Morty vs. Genocider and Summer Meets God (Rick Meets Evil), which received widespread fan and critical acclaim upon release. The Anime was greenlit last May.
Sano will adapt themes and events of the main series, but the anime will stand on its own as an original. Like his previous Rick and Morty anime shorts, the series is from Telecom Animation Film (Lupin the IIIrd, Shenmue the Animation, Tower of God).
A release date for the series has not yet been revealed.
