Rick and Morty Shows Off Surprising Sailor Moon Parody: Watch

Rick and Morty has been no stranger to making many references and shout outs to pop culture, and now the series is taking on Sailor Moon in the next episode with a surprising new parody! The series has been experimenting more with anime in the recent seasons especially, and it has been even more so with the short films released outside of the regular series' run. There's even an official anime series now in the works for the franchise, and that means there are going to be even more changes to take on the world of anime going forward. 

While previous episodes have tackled the likes of anime classics like Voltron, Ronin Warriors, and more, the first look at the next episode of Season 6, "Final Desmithtation" teases that Rick and Jerry will be teaming up for the next adventure. There might be a lot of mystery still about what fans can expect to see from the next episode, but the first trailer for the episode revealed a full on Sailor Moon transformation for Jerry.
