Rick & Morty are heading to a different world in their latest adventure. The hit animated series will now take on the world of anime in a brand-new series coming to Adult Swim.
In the released announcement trailer, we learned the Rick & Morty anime series will be art directed by Arisa Matsuzwana with color design by Maikio Kojima. Takashi Sano will serve as the series director, and appeared in a video at SDCC to promise:
“As the director, I would like to assure you that I’m also a huge fan of the original Rick and Morty. I believe there are many Rick and Morty fans all over the world. And I’m truly honored to be chosen to create a new Rick and Morty story out of all of them. But with that honor comes a lot of pressure because the original is just so well made. What I’ve tried to accomplish in these ten episodes is to take all my favorite parts of watching Rick and Morty, compress them down to extract their essence, and then add a unique Japanese twist.”
As yet, there’s no release date for the Rick & Morty anime.
