Exciting news for “Rick and Morty” fans! The highly anticipated anime spin-off, “Rick and Morty: The Anime,” is set to premiere on Adult Swim’s Toonami block later this year. Building on the success of the anime shorts that aired between episodes of “Rick and Morty” in recent years, Adult Swim has ordered a full spin-off series, much to the delight of fans.
The series has been in development for some time, and fans have eagerly awaited its release, especially given that “Rick and Morty” Season 8 won’t be premiering until 2025. Speculation arose about whether the anime would take over the Sunday night time slot, but it has been confirmed that it will indeed air on Saturdays with Toonami.
So, when can we expect “Rick and Morty: The Anime” to premiere? Adult Swim has announced that the series will debut sometime this summer, likely after the conclusion of “My Adventures with Superman Season 2” in late July. This means fans won’t have to wait much longer to dive into the anime world of “Rick and Morty.
Directed and written by Takashi Sano, known for his work on the “Rick and Morty vs. Genocider” and “Summer Meets God (Rick Meets Evil)” anime shorts, the series promises to deliver the same irreverent humor and interdimensional adventures fans have come to love. The synopsis teases exciting plotlines, including Rick’s exploits in a pseudo-world between multiverses, Summer’s battle against the evil Galactic Federation alongside Space Beth, and Morty’s romantic entanglement with a mysterious atemporal being.
With its premiere on both Adult Swim and Max, “Rick and Morty: The Anime” is sure to be a must-watch for fans of the original series. Keep an eye out for more updates as the release date approaches, and get ready for another wild ride with Rick and Morty!
