Adult Swim Con on Toonami was full of plenty of major surprise announcements, but the biggest by far had to have been a new Rick and Morty anime short directed by Tower of God‘s director, Takashi Sano. Following the surprise debut of a samurai influenced anime short earlier this year, “Rick and Morty vs. Genocider” was a much longer and more story focused affair. Not only did the Toonami audience love this foray into anime, but the Rick and Morty audience did as well since it perfectly slots into the multiverse we already are aware of in the main series.

At the very least, fans would love a surprise anime outing maybe even taking the place of one of the standard episodes in the future!

Japanese animators understand the potential and appeal of a show like Rick and Morty better than the people who make Rick and Morty dohttps://t.co/c7WJmiq3CV
