Rick and Morty: The Anime - Everything we know so far

The idea of a multiverse is explored by Rick and Morty in practically every season. We can see from the trailer of Rick and Morty: The Anime, which came out on July 11, 2024, that the anime version's producers are attempting to depict a new kind of art, one that will be more cartoonish. This spinoff anime series will adapt the theme and events of Rick and Morty (2013–present).

As the trailer suggests, one of the multiverses must be anime. The program is embracing a more anime-like style of art. In this anime version of Rick and Morty, viewers will see all the classic adventures of Rick and Morty but in an anime-illustrated design. It will be more of an Asian-style animation than an American-style animation.

Rick and Morty: The Anime will be directed by Japanese animator and director Takashi Sano. For the English version, Joe Daniels will voice Rick, while Gabriel Regojo will voice Morty; for the Japanese version, Youhei Tadano will voice Rick, and Keisuke Chiba will do so for Morty.

The official synopsis of Rick and Morty: The Anime reads:

“Rick relaxes in a pseudo-world between multiverses, Summer helps Space Beth fight the evil Galactic Federation, and Morty falls in love with a mysterious girl who happens to be an atemporal being.”

Michael Ouweleen, the president of Adult Swim praised Takashi Sano, who will direct Rick and Morty: The Anime. He talked about Sano and also about the series to several media houses and said:

"Takashi Sano, in addition to being a super-talented director, is also a huge ‘Rick and Morty’ fan.

"He’s the perfect person to give us all this alternate version of this amazing show. And the perfect way to launch this series is by doing our favorite thing ......around and come see all of you in person. "
