Rick and Morty: The Anime

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.

I absolutely adore rick and morty and, admittedly had low expectations for the anime based off of the previews. So coming into it I tried to have an open mind... But this is just horrific, the voice acting is deplorable, the animation style is unique but just feels cheaply produced. On top of that the dialogue, and plot are non existent, this could've been made using a old scientist and his family with no relation to rick and morty and no one would've batted an eye. It has none of the emotion of the original show, none of the jokes, vulgarity, it's almost nonexistent attempts at being funny are simply the opposite, save some time and go rewatch The Hole Episode :)

The animation looks awful, it's nothing like the Anime, the animation looks like sazae-san getting a reboot.

Rick and Morty is a popular animated series and it's a comedy, so the main reason beside loving the characters and the larger story , is loving the stand alone episodes that have Alot of gold comedy, laughing for 20 minutes straight or even cry in some minutes. This series I didn't even smile for a second, it was all over the place.

I'm an anime enjoyer, I watched ALOT of anime. All I can say is that this is not an Anime and it's a disrespect to the industry,and not even in a good way.

....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.

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.
