Released in 2024, Rick and Morty: The Anime series made one surprising choice of replacing the original voice cast. Neither Ian Cardoni nor Harry Belden returned as Rick and Morty. Instead, the anime featured Joe Daniels as Rick and Gabriel Regojo as Morty in its English dub.

For many longtime Rick and Morty fans, it made the anime feel like an entirely different entity. This break in continuity was more than jarring. Executive Producer Joseph Chou explained the reasoning behind this decision in a 2024 interview with Bleeding Cool. He said,

It might have been discussed, but the thing is, [the anime] was standing on its own. We were also of the mindset of, ‘Look, let’s do something that stands alone and see if we can do it.’ Also, with the original show and creators, we made sure they were good with it and happy to give us their blessings and do our own thing.

Batman is one character that’s universally known and loved by fans around the world. While the face of the vigilante keeps changing, be it live-action or animation, the thrill and mystery remain the same, which makes him the most intriguing and important character in the comic book genre. Every generation has a Dark Knight, be it Michael Keaton, Christian Bale or Robert Pattinson, and in cases where one grew up on the animated series, it's Kevin Conroy’s voice that defines their experience. Interestingly, a Batman movie is climbing the streaming charts which features none of the aforementioned talents.

Per FlixPatrol, Batman Ninja vs. Yakuza League, a sequel to 2018's Batman Ninja, is steadily climbing the HBO Max worldwide streaming charts. The anime superhero film directed by Junpei Mizusaki and Shinji Takagi is currently at #3, standing tall behind Sinners and A Minecraft Movie. Written by Kazuki Nakashima, the movie...

Warner Bros. Discovery announced this week that one of Adult Swim's riskiest anime projects to date is about to land on Blu-ray and DVD for the first time.

Rick and Morty: The Anime will have its first home media release on April 29, 2025, according to Anime News Network, giving physical media access to one of Adult Swim's most ambitious yet divisive adaptations. The anime series premiered on Cartoon Network's Adult Swim programming block and streaming service Max last August, starting with its English dub, followed by the English-subtitled Japanese version shortly after airing on the network's Toonami block. However, the show's fan reception was incredibly mixed, with a current critics' score of 50% and an audience score of just 17%.

The following review contains spoilers for Rick and Morty: The Anime Episodes 1 and 2.

Rick and Morty: The Anime was always going to be a gamble, but Episode 2, "Fighting Mother," shows that the wild fusion of the source material's interdimensional chaos and director/writer Takashi Sano's hyper-stylized vision has more potential than even the most optimistic fans mightve hoped after debut doubts. Where the premiere felt like a skeptical handshake between two worlds, "Fighting Mother" dives headfirst into the madness with a bit more confidence and a helping of satisfying sci-fi schlock.

Excitingly, Episode 2 offers a clearer picture of what both Sano and the Rick and Morty IP at large might be able to do in this new sandbox. Though Rick and Morty: The Anime certainly still has plenty to prove as a long-term experiment, the highest highs of "Fighting Mother" offer a tantalizing glimpse of what could...

“Rick and Morty: The Anime” is blasting into space and taking on a whole new adventure into Japanese animation.

The English language dub version of “Rick and Morty: The Anime” will premiere on Cartoon Network’s...

Over the course of seven seasons of Rick and Morty, the titular duo has visited myriad parallel universes and met numerous alternate versions of themselves. Each jaunt through spacetime has, in turn, rendered the unfathomable cosmos ever vaster—and their own place in it more insignificant. In a multiverse swimming with innumerable Ricks and Mortys, their existence is but one of untold possibilities, the inevitable product of choices made with and without their consideration.

Rick and Morty’s headier themes are familiar territory for writer and director Sano Takashi, who contributed two entries to the anthology of anime shorts based on the series that Adult Swim aired between 2020 and 2021. The blistering “Summer Meets God (Rick Meets Evil),” for one, is dotted with snappy scenes in which the Smith family philosophizes over meals. “I do what I want and never what I don’t,” Rick says as he forks a leaf of lettuce.

The silly scientist Rick Sanchez and timid grandson Morty Smith have been on outrageous adventures through time and space for over a decade now. Their madcap exploits on Adult Swim’s long-running show Rick and Morty have amassed quite a dedicated following over the years. Fans were thrilled when it was announced the zany duo would be branching out into anime.

Rick and Morty: The Anime tells a new story set in the crazy multiverse we know and love. Just like the Og series, it’s full of wild sci-fi hijinks and biting humor. But this adaptation gives the material a refreshing twist by translating it to anime style. Now Rick, Morty, and the whole gang are brought to vibrant life in a hand-drawn animated world.

The anime sticks closely to canon in some ways, yet also takes the characters down unexpected paths. In the first few episodes, Rick...

For the last few years, Telecom Animation has been working diligently on Rick and Morty: The Anime -- the franchise's first Japanese-animated television series. Now, it has been revealed when the show's first episodes are scheduled to drop for online streaming.

On X (formerly Twitter), @AnimationOnMax announced that Rick and Morty: The Anime, which respectively stars Joe Daniels (Haikyu!!) and Gabriel Regojo (Call of the Night) as its titular heroes, will begin streaming on Aug. 16, 2024 -- a day after its Aug. 15 premiere on Adult Swim. The highly anticipated adaptation of Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's beloved science-fiction comedy utilizes the series' "multiverse" to present a new take on Rick and Morty's world and characters. This is evident in the anime's latest trailer, seen below, which is a chaotic blend of laugh-out-loud humor, fast-paced action and tease-worthy romance scenes.
