How does this new anime exist alongside the original Rick & Morty series?
While theanimeis based on the original show, its new influences immediately create a vastly different series.
Its art style is also wildly different, influenced by anime and Japanese culture.
The concept ofRick & Mortyin animated form was first explored in 2020 with five shorts.
One of their directors and writers, Takashi Sano, went on to work on this new series full-time.
You know, it already deals with a multiverse aspect.
And how they connect and interact with the original show was actually a theme that was in his mind.
And like you said, look, it’s Multiverse.
Anything is possible, so why don’t we try it and give it our spin?
And we were very happy that they allowed us the freedom to do so."
“Well, let’s do it.
It is always what we say.
This is where we can get in trouble, like saying, Oh, yes, of course!
But he would love it.
It really all depends on the audience, and they love it.
And I’m sure there’ll be another opportunity for us to pick it up.”
What we heard initially when we started was, ‘Look, you guys can do your own thing.’
So we were given the milestones to avoid those.

That’s what he’s been making for decades.
I mean, even action, for example."
It’s been infused in there, and you will see the influence of anime.

And that’s what he’s done."
