Rick and Morty: The Anime

It's crap! It takes more than a few "Sum-sum"s some belching and 'oh geezes' to make a R&M and This guy knows he has to make it scifi so he throws in some hackney lines about multiverse and Sim reality theory (BOTH OF WHICH ARE UNSOUND BTW) and thinks people will be dazzled and impressed

The issue we all have with R&M isn't that the quality of the Animation is SO FABULOUS that it takes ½ year to complete every episode, in fact the animation is kinda chewgey - so WHY are they doing this if it's not the writers or any aspect of the og

Just crank out 10 more QUALITY episodes A YEAR of the OG ffs.

....seriously, who is this even for? It can't people who like comedy because it's not funny. It can't be people who like sci-fi because the plot is boring and unoriginal. It can't for people who like anime because the drawing style is unwatchable.

The English dub is even worse. So much of the comedy comes from the way the lines are delivered and they've had to adjust the scripts to account for the original Japanese. This means basically every joke falls flat or sounds off.

But even if they fix all of the things that made this terrible, it still won't fix the fact that THERE IS ALREADY A RICK AND MORTY CARTOON. The fact that we have two identical shows with identical characters playing on the same network on the same days is beyond stupid. Especially when one of those shows is terrible.

I don't normally write poor reviews but this was just not good. There's only been 1 episode released so far but the story is convoluted in an un-ironic way just feels like badly written fan fiction. This is also coming from someone who loved The Last Jedi and The Rise of Skywalker so I hope that puts my distaste into perspective as I'm a person who tries to find the positive in art. This show felt like an obscure anime from the 2000's that nobody ever heard about because it was never dubbed into English or made it to the international stage, only in this case it was and it did, respectively, purely because it also starred characters from a more successful series and it didn't deserve the attention it got. My opinion of this show actually became more negative after typing this. Wow.

This show has done 2 things at once, 1. Made the art form of Anime look stupid and childish 2. Tainted a much-loved series

I watched most of the first episode and found it a confusing, aimless mess. What were the producers of the original thinking? It was like letting a pack of starving racoons lose to do brain surgery.

I have to say I am a huge R&M fan, and I found this very insulting to myself as one of their fans. If someone had neither seen Anime nor Rick and Morty, this show would kill any desire to view anything else from either of these two. I would strongly warn anyone from watching this series. Other reviewers here have echoed some deeper comments, and for the most part, I totally agree with them. Even Velma might just be better that this.

OMG what is this? Someone used basic anime series put Rick and Morty names? No creative ideas more swearing then normal(doest't make this more fun for preteens). Fat oversized Rick and Morty etc. Images? This is not what people expected. There is One piece Animation character series referring Images and many other anime stories actions. There is so much plagiarizing from other IP characters and actions and likeness. How did this get away With it? OMG does the creator think people this naive? This was made for western not Japanese. So, these creators think western people would like this crap because it has Japanese staff creator? FAR FROM IT! This waste of time (mostly taking 1 month to made 10 parts) belongs to adult swim! Disappointed and insulting to those that like Rick and Morty.

Look at the list of staff, you can tell western had more say who was hired. Real Japanese animation? No, it's made to look but western controlled with terrible graphics staff, that shouldn't have been allowed....... this series will not last 10 episodes.
