Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith riding in a spaceship in Rick and Morty: The Anime

Summary Rick and Morty: The Anime received mixed reviews from fans following its debut. The anime introduces a new visual style and an interesting premise in the first episode, “Girl Who Manipulates Time,” by exploring the theme of time travel, an aspect that the original Rick and Morty made a point not to use. Even so, the anime struggles to live up to its counterpart, lacking the aspects that kept fans hooked.

Meanwhile, the anime opts to use more straightforward jokes as it’s main premise, losing the balance that the Adult Swim cartoon created that allowed fans to have a laugh while also being challenged to think. The new show instead uses exaggerated expressions and bizarre moments in place of dark humor, such as the multiple realities Morty gets faced with in the first episode. While this may appeal to a different audience, it takes away the clever satire that made the original series stand out.

Meanwhile, Morty becomes reduced to a reactive character with his insecurities and moral dilemmas taking a backseat.
