Rick and Morty: The Anime Highlights Jerry in New Preview Clip

Rick and Morty: The Anime will be making its debut with Adult Swim in just a few more days, and a new preview clip highlighting Jerry’s role in it all has been released. Rick and Morty will be making its full anime series debut with Adult Swim in just a few more days, and it will be offering a whole new look at the multiverse seen in the original animated series. Although there are many of the same characters seen in that original series, they will be offering new stories and dynamics not seen in the franchise before just for this new anime take on the franchise. 

It’s led to all sorts of questions about what fans could be seeing from these new versions of the Smith Family, and that’s probably no truer than with Jerry. While Jerry has had some big moments in the original animated series now and again, the anime’s version of the character seems to be offering just a big more involvement as teased by the newest preview clip for Rick and Morty: The Anime that sees the Cronenberg universe Jerry making his way into the show. You can check out the newest look at the anime below.
