Rick and Morty vs. genocider and Summer meets God it’s the standalone episodes that give us clues about the future of the Adult Swim animated series.
Warner has taken advantage of the announcement that HBO Max will be combined with Discovery on a new platform, Max to dry, to also promise the launch of new series based on franchises of the brand and, among them, is the anime of rick and morty. The animated story of the mad scientist and his long-suffering grandson, one of the most beloved HBO Max series by its audience, is on hiatus after its season 6 broadcast on the VOD service, but the universe of rick and morty does not stop. The plot will continue running with this first spin-off from the original series, which will follow alternative versions of Rick and Morty drawn in the anime style that were born in shorts released to soften the usual long waits between seasons of the mother series. And the best thing is that these shorts, in addition to HBO Max, can be seen for free on YouTube.

The person in charge of these two independent episodes, Takashi Sano, will also be in charge of directing. Rick and Morty: The Anime, which, as announced at the time, will launch with a first season of 10 episodes. The usual thing in the Japanese animation industry is that the episodes last about twenty minutes, something less than the normal chapters of rick and morty and a little more than the short films published so far, so we can count on its duration as well Get close to that number.
It is already official that the series (whose first poster we have left you just above these lines) will be connected in some way with Sano’s two short films. Meeting the writers of rick and mortyit would not be unusual for the protagonists of the anime to be alternate versions of those of the short films, but the promotional image published by Warner confirms, at least, that the Japanese visual style will continue to dominate the series.
It is the same aesthetic that the independent episodes of the Japanese director sported, surely the best of all the extra materials released to keep fans happy during the endless delays that Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland have practiced between seasons of seasons of rick and morty. The other line of anime shorts based on the series, Rick and Morty: Samurai & Shogunit’s 3D animated and if you ask who this is writing, it doesn’t measure up to the quality of Sano’s stories.
The first of his short films, Rick and Morty vs. genocider (2020), is much more imaginative, refined and visually appealing than its three-dimensional counterparts, and is also riddled with references to Neon Genesis Evangelion, Pokemon, Dragon Ball, Akira… The short also includes a nod to the convoluted lore of the film itself. rick and morty which has served as a sufficient excuse for many fans to speculate that everything that is told in the episode, including a crazy theory about the origin of Rick, could be considered canon.
The second, Summer meets Godwas released in 2021 and focuses on Morty’s sister:
