The new show has sent shockwaves through the fandom, igniting a frenzy of excitement and anticipation. Other than the new animation, little is known about the future for Rick and Morty.

With the show's loss of its co-creator and star, Justin Roiland, fans worried about what would happen to their beloved show. Following Roiland's legal controversy earlier this year, Adult Swim cut ties with Justin Roiland and announced they would be selecting new voice actors for the lead characters. This led to questioning the future of the show as Roiland was a creator, writer, and actor for the series.

This change in animation for the show opens up thrilling possibilities as the quirky duo of Rick and Morty navigate the world of anime. With its distinctive visual style, over-the-top action sequences, and enthralling story-telling, it's a wonder how the transition from one style to the next will go. The thought of Rick and Morty in anime format has fans on the edge of their seats.

Set to air later this year, keep your eyes peeled for the new Rick and Morty: The Anime.
