Venerable programming block Adult Swim has announced the addition of two new anime series that will join the schedule in the future, with the Rick and Morty anime shorts previously directed by Tower Of God director Takashi Sano leading into a 10 episode spin-off anime titled Rick and Morty: The Anime, which will be produced by Telecom Animation Film.
Adult Swim and Sano are also stressing that the series will stand alone from the main series, playing up the multiverse aspect that is on trend for TV and film.
He must face off against trained assassins, combat cyborgs, and rival ninjas to bring down the very clan that made him.
