Rick and Morty: The Anime is coming, y'all. If you missed the news, Adult Swim has ordered an entire anime inspired by the hit comedy, and that means Rick is about to take on some wild adventures overseas. Luckily, fans are ready to follow the mad scientist on his journey, but some aren't quite sold on the anime spin-off just yet.

For those needing context, the whole situation came to light today ahead of an upfronts presentation. It was there Warner Bros. Discovery announced Adult Swim has made a series order for Rick and Morty: The Anime. The 10-episode series will expand on the anime shorts previously done for Rick and Morty, and director Takeshi Sano will oversee the project.
