Rick and Morty Anime Rant - Why Does This Exist?

[@Ihartwalrusguy]

At least Zach Hadel said that he will never make a Smiling Friends Anime under his watch.

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

Yeah, there was a lot of misinformation going around about a Smiling Friends anime when he actually meant that there will be an anime-style *episode* in the future.

[@kootunesscrewy]

I never saw it, but after what has happened with the show recently, I don't think I will. Adult Swim should end this series and just focus on Smiling Friends, tbh.

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

And also focus on all those new projects they just greenlit

[@Theoctopusfromokhuman690-ej1uq]

I honestly don't know why they made this either for the money or for the fans

[@nas0518]

Nobody has talked about Rick and Morty The Anime, because people stop caring about Rick and Morty. The popularity of the show is no longer there, it's gone. People realized that Rick and Morty was never funny to begin with and that. The anime series received a 3.0/10 on iMDB. I miss Final Space and Close Enough. We want them back.

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

I lost interest after season 3 and couldn't get back into the show ever since. I've only seen bits and pieces of season 4-6 and nothing from season 7.

[@samuraibunny1758]

The one thing that irks me is that why did they decide to use Sentai VAs because the original show is recorded by Bang Zoom, which is a studio that does anime dubs And some of the VAs in the original show have voiced anime characters before

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

Wait, didn't Bang Zoom make that legendary US Doraemon dub?

[@UltraHomie91]

I know this isn’t related to the video, but imagine if Comedy Central aired Japanese anime in the U.S?

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

That would be nuts

[@UltraHomie91]

If Comedy Central were to air Japanese Anime here’s my list of anime that would likely or unlikely air on the channel: One Piece (will share rights with Adult Swim’s Toonami) Miss Kobayashi’s Dragon Maid Spy x Family Dr. Slump (both the 1981 and 1997 series in Japanese with English subtitles) Slam Dunk Don’t Toy with Me, Miss Nagatoro (will also share rights with Adult Swim’s Toonami) Crayon Shin-chan Pop Team Epic Fairy Tail (both the original series and the 100 Year Quest series) Buddy Daddies One Punch Man Bobobo-bo Bo-bobo Nichijou

[@CookeDGold]

Seriously, this is the worst anime I have ever seen! When they were advertising this, I was kinda excited, but when I watched it, MEH! I was like “what the hell is this?” Bro the original was better than whatever this is, literally nobody asked for Rick and Morty to become an anime, why didn’t they just make new episodes for the original? Now let’s talk about the theme song of the anime version, in my opinion, it’s kinda good, I like the song, but the original theme song, DAMN! That’s an absolute banger But, the original theme song does not lie to you! It’s all about adventure and exploring weird stuff, but the anime one, dang, it’s ok tho, but the original was better.

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

Don't worry, the original series is still running. But yeah, the anime was very boring.

[@mythicalanimate]

I think it's stupid as hell that Rick and Morty made their own anime show. They should've stay should've kept it with shorts like I think the regular Rick and Morty series was just enough because the first episode was very weird and unenjoyable to watch. Any another anime like DBZ can beat this easily. Now I feel like every cartoon franchise has been ruined atp.

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

It works much better in a short format. I honestly thought the bite-size stories were decent.

[@TelevisionProgrammer]

I honestly don't mind it

[@HydoorMagma]

The Rick and Morty anime should of just stuck to the shorts. The shorts were better since they were one-shot stories. If they wanted an anime they should of picked something action packed like Primal, but I doubt that would even work.

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

A Primal-style Rick and Morty series would be awesome

[@killercyberslayer3420]

12 oz mouse was the worst

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

At least 12 Oz Mouse had a coherent plot

[@allisoncurty650]

We desperately need David Zaslav gone and Close Enough back! My idea would be when David Zaslav is gone (who knows how that will be) Adult Swim should show episodes of Close Enough once a week, and if that does well, then Close Enough should come back on Adult Swim.

[@icecreamhero2375]

First Powerpuff Girls then Rick and Morty. Can we get a Kids Next Door anime?

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

That would actually be cool. It seems like Warner Bros Discovery has close ties to Japanese studio distributors.

[@hyperturbofox17]

Western Entertainment is running out of Ideas. The Anime I recommended you to watch is Fruit Basket, Hetalia, Konosuba & Miss Kobayashi Dragon Maid.

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

The solution is more independent creators and talent. Nobody wants reboots/remakes/rehashes/spinoffs anymore.

[@BanditCollaborative]

lol happy to have psi cops mentioned at least! 😂

[@NickelodeonOFFICIAL69]

the anime is nothing but rick and morty with cheaper animation

[@icecreamhero2375]

I don't even like Rick and Morty and I feel cheated. It looks like an American animated show. I know there are a few anime with cartoony art styles like but I don't think anyone wanted this.

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

Same

[@rocky.rocks1445]

I don't think the anime will ruin the franchise, because it doesn't really have anything to do with the original cast. I think it'll be one of those things where in the next few years, it'll be extremely forgotten, and nobody will talk about them, unless someone says "hey remember when someone tried to make a Rick and Morty Anime." I think it's alright tbh. The animation and voices remind me of a normal adult swim show so I don't mind it. The pilot was terrible tho, and was REALLY hard to follow my first time watching. Instead of getting an insight to what we're in for, all we get is Morty playing a VR game, and Summer helping Rick out in space while he does nothing. It would've been better if we saw Rick and Morty hanging out going on an adventure, Rick giving him a VR set, and then we catch a little bit of the girl he's in love with. My main problem with the series is in the first episode we don't get enough Rick, and in the second episode we don't get enough Morty (I don't remember but I think he's only in one or two scenes). Personally I do enjoy the series so far but it's only been two episodes, so my opinion on the show will likely change.

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

More or less, it's gonna be another one of those shows that only last 13 episodes nobody talks about until decades later

[@wetham8667]

The Rick and Morty anime looked like they horribly copied the animation style of “Chibi Maruko-Chan” (an animation that’s similar to Doraemon).

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

I was gonna say it looks like as if Sazae-San got a reboot 😂

[@wetham8667]

@@ArtieRaccoonReviewsI watched a clip of it and Morty kept moaning so much😭. It’s like watching the Portuguese dub of Inazuma Eleven and Dragon Ball.

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

It was so weird lol

[@icecreamhero2375]

There are many genres of anime. Not all of it is serious and story driven. You would probably prefer slice of life anime. Nichijou is one of my favorites. You should give that show a try.

RICK AND MORTY IS AN ANIME!?

[@Tattootin]

I can’t even watch the commercials. I turn it down and nab my phone.. wtf is up with their teeth? This isn’t an anime. Anime takes time to tell the story and time into the art… this has none of it.

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

Even South Park has better animated teeth than this

[@marcusthetupacfan]

I actually like this anime here because I adore Rick And Morty and anime just like I adore old school rap

[@Cinderpelt2036]

Western animator must understand that making a anime inspired show are boring and not interesting just look what happened to high guardian spice got overshadowed by w40k hammer and bolter

[@AlexSolander]

Here!

[@Sp4ky-d2k]

If it didnt became a goofy ahh anime it woudlve been the same as the animated series. But in the end its just stupid and lack of funniness. AND dont have proper jokes.

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

I would've been fine with less jokes, but the problem here is that the story and plot make zero sense and just throw random scenes at us and you have to puzzle it together using your imagination.

[@Doctor4Dimonds]

Well I mean they are owned by WBD so it does make sense why it exists

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

Rick and Morty, Looney Tunes, Tom and Jerry, Scooby-Doo, and Teen Titans are WBD's golden boys

[@Doctor4Dimonds]

@@ArtieRaccoonReviews yeah you’re right

[@Milesprowerboy5]

Why make a anime of a cartoon? It’s just making an animated thing out of an animated thing.

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

Exactly

[@PhantomDude380]

Tbh I think Adult Swim is basically trying to milk the series just fo rhte cash grabs and honestly I'm very disappointed by what I saw. They should just stick with Smiling Friends and just cancel this garabge, the Japanese creators of this series are not even trying to make thr jokes that funny at all.

[@DoraemonFan-ww3jm]

I never knew you like Doraemon and Crayon Shin-chan. They're underrated.

[@russellgroenewoud9199]

I will be honest for a hot minute. I'm not a fan of Rick & Morty (which I'm sure most fans of the original series may or may not hate me for that), and I've seen better anime, imo, but I guess I should be happy I've missed out on this one, hm?

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

I suppose

[@russellgroenewoud9199]

Eh, just wondering.

[@AbrasiousProductions]

I abandoned the show back in 2023 and I was a fan since 2013

[@2010hyundaielantra]

why is rick's face half the size of Morty's?

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

Lol no idea, flanderization

Opinion on The Nest TV network from Sinclair, if you don’t know what it is, it airs reality, true crime, and celebrity television series.

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

I've never watched it before, probably not my thing

[@Diamondboy5200]

This is a great idea but poor execution

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

I would've given it a higher ranking if I could actually keep up with the nonsense plot, nothing about this episode made sense.

You’ve missed some great episodes of Rick and morty, the last season that came out has its moments… but meh. 4-5-6 are great. 5 has some hysterical episodes.

[@ArtieRaccoonReviews]

I've only seen a few season 4 episodes, I mainly remember the Vat of Acid episode

[@Tattootin]

Woooooo thank you!! I cannot stand psi-cops. It’s like this new style of comedy that consists of really bad social skills and juvenile behavior. I know that sounds generic. But I keep seeing this really drawn out dramatic but trying to be funny but about really stupid shit? Not because I’m getting old… nah, it’s the writing in like the new SpongeBob seasons. How psi-cops act like or their comedy delivery is just so fuckin cheap but who is this mass appeal or head of writing is it like a couple people making this a thing? Is it equal hiring that is forcing people that would not ever be truly qualified and in turn making the writing lack? I am actually really interested in why the delivery of comedy is shifting? But it’s not getting better? Way more dull and like actual caveman type comedy that might appeal to either 1-3 year olds, or few thousand years back might tickle a pickle. No thanks.
