2.5/4
At its most formidable, the series finds remarkable pathos amid its absurdity. Go to Full Review

This feels primarily like a trippy experiment gone wrong, and even Rick and Morty superfans might want to give it a pass. Go to Full Review
Cheryl Eddy io9.com 08/16/2024
Throughout, creator Sano’s deep affection for Rick and Morty is quite evident. You can see it in The Anime‘s excitement about inter-dimensional hijinks, outer space battles, and fan-favorite supporting characters that pop up here and there. Go to Full Review

As it stands, the main question fans will be asking when they watch Rick and Morty: The Anime is “Why?” So far, there’s not a good reason. Go to Full Review

Even if Rick and Morty: The Anime ultimately veers toward inexplicable more than enjoyable, though, it’s never boring -- which you can’t always say about Rick and Morty itself. If nothing else, the anime will go down as an impressive exercise. Go to Full Review

Watching the first two episodes of Rick and Morty: The Anime mostly made me long for another season of Space Dandy. Go to Full Review

Claydo Nov 27 It’s not as bad as people make it out to be. It was actually pretty entertaining. Obviously it’s not as good as the main show, but it’s still good. It’s definitely worth checking out. See more Andrew D Aug 6 I loved the plot of this form of "Rick and Morty". Yes, it may be drastically different, but that's because things are valued differently around the world and should be embraced to truly enjoy them. I like the idea of how the show plays on the concept in a infinite loop all because of one moment acting out vs reclusive from fear. It may make your brain hurt if you dont value the base concepts in quantum theory, as well as rewinding to hear things again. The one thing this side of Rick and Morty illustrated is care. For time, quantum mechanical concepts acted out, appreciation of other dimensional beings/universes. It's a beautiful metaphor for "hope" in the modern world... we all see things differently though, so i understand why people would choose anything except this version... See more Cristian s Jul 13 Diferente. Entrega muy bien el alma absurda de Rick & Morty pero extrañamente el humor esta ausente casi en su totalidad. Va por una trama mas compleja o madura (y difícil de entender) pero a la vez parece un cascaron vacío. Cumple en destacarse haciéndonos entender que esta no es una temporada mas pero a la vez falla en todo lo que caracteriza a un anime: calidad de animación y momentos emotivos. Vale la pena verla pero a la vez desearía no haberlo hecho. See more Winter H Feb 19 Fails to deliver tone, humor, or style. Feels like a really bad fanfic from a group of writers with nothing interesting to say about the original material. No clue who this was for. Not so-bad-it's-good, just so-bad-it's-cringe. See more Emily S Feb 7 Couldn’t even make it through the first episode. The animation is bad, and the story is not only terrible but it makes zero sense. I had no clue what the hell was going on. It was just so insanely bad. Should’ve never existed. See more Valerii Ege D Feb 2 Rick and Morty: The Anime replaces the original's chaotic absurdity with classic anime-style dramatization, resulting in a rather dull experience. I liked the concept, but the execution is far from satisfying. See more Read all reviews
