Adult Swim announced that it has greenlit two new anime series, one of which is based on the hit television series Rick and Morty.
Rick and Morty: The Anime will be a ten-episode anime series directed by Takashi Sano, the director of Tower of God.
Sano was also behind the two extremely popular Rick and Morty anime shorts, Rick and Morty vs. Genocider, and Summer Meets God (Rick Meets Evil), both of which are likely big inspirations and catalysts behind the full Rick and Morty anime being developed.
Besides Sano’s two anime shorts, Adult Swim has released a variety of anime-inspired Rick and Morty shorts, including the very first one, Samurai & Shogun, in March 2020.
