When asked why he went with a Lone Wolf and Cub homage for Rick and Morty, Sato said he initially submitted a few different ideas like “fusion robots and things set in Akihabara.”
Back in March, Rick and Morty took a step into a parallel anime universe with the help of writer and director Kaichi Sato and Studio DEEN’s digital department DEEN Digital.
According to Sato, they’re currently planning a sequel to the “Samurai & Shogun” Rick and Morty short, and he has a bunch of good ideas he wants to make happen.
