Rick and Morty: The Anime Episode 2 First Look Released: Watch

Rick and Morty: The Anime has officially kicked off its run this Summer with Adult Swim, and now they have shared the first look at what’s coming next in Episode 2. Rick and Morty: The Anime is a brand new take on Adult Swim’s original animated series that imagines a different side of the multiverse in which Rick and Morty are now taking on a whole new wave of anime adventures. The first episode shook things up with some new additions to the franchise as a whole, and now things will continue as its own multiverse and space time begins to go awry. 

Rick and Morty: The Anime introduced this new anime take on the main cast, but also threw in some new ideas of its own as Rick and Morty soon found themselves in ever-changing space time. Rick himself was lost within all of these changes, and it seems like it’s going to put him on a collision course with the other Rick we had gotten to see in the premiere episode as well. You can check out the first look at Rick and Morty: The Anime Episode 2 below as spotted by Swimpedia on X.
