Rick and Morty: The Anime

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.

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 :)

I love Rick and Morty. It's my favorite show of all time hands-down but the anime is actually horrible. I didn't understand the story at all. I've waited so long for another season of Rick and Morty just for this disappointment. Please cut the show off and go back to What worked I'm actually furious. This is Worst portrayal of Rick and Morty. I didn't laugh once didn't understand what was happening please Don't even air The second episode because It's gonna be just as bad. I'm so disappointed if it takes Justin To get out of jail just to make a watchable season then I Would rather have that happen.

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.
