Rick and Morty: The Anime Episode 2 Preview Released

Rick and Morty: The Anime is gearing up for the premiere of its next big episode, and Adult Swim has shared a new preview for Episode 2. Rick and Morty: The Anime has introduced fans to a whole new anime side of the Rick and Morty multiverse, and with it a new version of the main duo at the center of it all. The first episode continued to shake things up even further with the duo building a device that continues to warp space and time, and that seems to be the through line that will be at the center of the anime’s debut season through the rest of the Summer. 

Rick and Morty: The Anime has warped things with its first episode as Rick finds himself lost within space and time without a clear plan to get home, and that’s only going to be further complicated as more characters are thrown into the mix. That’s the case with the newest preview clip from the upcoming second episode of the series too as Summer reaches out to Space Beth for help in finding Rick lost within the multiverse. Check out the newest preview clip for Rick and Morty: The Anime Episode 2 below as shared by Adult Swim.
