The story focuses on the Smith household as they go through different adventures across many realities, with Rick being the grandfather who also happens to be a mad scientist. His grandson Morty is usually his sidekick during their adventures, and since they have very different personalities, it often leads to a lot of hilarious situations.

It has already been reported that the Rick and Morty anime will feature original material instead of adapting any previous storylines. However, this production will maintain the original animated series' spirit and style.
