There's a new anime that's come to Adult Swim and those with a Max subscription , and it features a cast of very familiar characters. Rick and Morty : The Anime is something totally different than the original Rick and Morty , which CinemaBlend currently considers one of the best animated shows of all time . Some may assume that I mean the spinoff being a departure is a bad thing, but I'm really digging the unique direction this series took the acclaimed show.
It turns out the Rick and Morty formula isn't just adaptable, it can thrive in new mediums in a way I hadn't expected. It's definitely different from what I was expecting in a lot of ways, but I'm imploring all fans of the franchise to check it out, because this is a series worth keeping up with for the following reasons. The Series Skews More Anime Than Traditional Adult Animation It's worth noting that if you identify as an otaku or weeb, Rick and Morty: The Anime comes with some serious clout.
It hails from Takashi Sano, who has worked on a wide variety of anime in his career, including serving as director of the first season of Tower of God . Some people may immediately write this off as Rick and Morty with an anime art style, but they are off-base here; there's far more to it than you'd suspect. In fact, I would argue that the anime spinoff slightly tones down the irreverent humor and wildly NSFW terms we need to Google after episodes to fully understand and replace it with more typical anime tropes.
Almost immedia.
