Adult Swim Dates Rick And Morty: The Anime English Dubbed Adaptation

Posted on by

The “Rick and Morty” universe expands with the debut of an all-new anime from visionary director Takashi Sano (“Tower of God”) that follows Rick, Morty and the rest of the Smith family in a new intergalactic adventure, “Rick and Morty: The Anime.” The English-language version is set to premiere Thursday, August 15 at midnight on Adult Swim

In celebration of “Rick and Morty: The Anime,” Adult Swim’s Rickmobile and Mortymobile will hit the road for a multi-city ANIME-rican tour across the nation, giving fans the chance to watch the first episode before it premieres, and to score exclusive merchandise and photo ops. The cross-country fun kicks off at San Diego Comic-Con, with more cities to follow and ending in Adult Swim’s hometown of Atlanta, GA. All dates and locations can be found at rickmobile.com.

In this 10-episode anime series from the world of “Rick and Morty,” Rick relaxes in a pseudo-world between multiverses, Summer helps Space Beth fight the evil Galactic Federation, and Morty falls in love with a mysterious girl who happens to be an atemporal being.

English voice actors, respectively, for “Rick and Morty: The Anime” include:

  • Rick –  Joe Daniels
  • Morty – Gabriel Regojo
  • Summer – Donna Bella Litton
  • Jerry – Joe Daniels
  • Beth – Patricia Duran

New episodes of “Rick and Morty: The Anime” will be available to stream on Max and purchase on Digital the day after their Adult Swim debut. Japanese encore airings of new episodes will debut the following Saturday at midnight on Adult Swim’s Toonami block.

“Rick and Morty: The Anime” is written and directed by Sano and is produced for Adult Swim by Sola Entertainment with Jason Demarco and Joseph Chou serving as executive producers.

Our Take

After watching this trailer, I would actually prefer this cast/aesthetic for Rick and Morty moving forward instead of the Justin Roiland-less abomination that was a part of the OG show’s seventh season. Joe Daniels actually does a pretty good Rick and because of the series’ aesthetic it makes me feel like I’m getting a truly fresh start to the franchise so I’m excited to see where this goes.
