Our Review
Rick and Morty: The Anime (2024) is a anime and comedy series from Adult Swim. It has built a run of 10 episodes at roughly 30 minutes each. It premiered on August 15, 2024. Viewers rate it 3.4 out of 10. It is currently ended. It runs 1 season.
What Rick and Morty: The Anime Is About
The series revolves around the adventures of members of the Smith Family, particularly mad scientist and samurai Rick Sanchez and his grandchildren, Morty Smith, 14 and Summer Smith, 17, whose parents, Jerry Smith and Beth Smith, disapprove of his adventures. Different versions of the characters inhabit other dimensions throughout the series’ multiverse, with their personal characteristics varying from one reality to another.
What to Expect When You Watch
Episodes run about 30 minutes, which keeps the pace tight, the full run covers 10 episodes, spread across 1 season and it leans into its anime/comedy roots while leaving room for the quieter character beats.
Performance-wise the series leans on Youhei Tadano, Keisuke Chiba and Akiha Matsui to carry the emotional weight, with the rest of the ensemble filling out the world around them.
Cast and Creative Team
Youhei Tadano, Keisuke Chiba, Akiha Matsui, Manabu Muraji and Takako Fuji lead the cast.
Key roles include Youhei Tadano as Rick; Keisuke Chiba as Morty; Akiha Matsui as Summer; Manabu Muraji as Jerry; Takako Fuji as Beth.
Why It Stands Out
Fans of anime, comedy and science-fiction have a clear reason to give this one a shot. It sits comfortably alongside Adult Swim’s other originals, a 3.4/10 audience score puts it in steady company and it commits to its premise instead of hedging between tones.
Released in 2024 and carried by Adult Swim with the series still ended, it lands hardest with anime and comedy viewers.
How Rick and Morty: The Anime Compares
If Rick and Morty: The Anime lands for you, the next stops are Death Note, Attack on Titan and Hunter x Hunter, which share its anime/comedy lean.
Each of those sits at a different point on the same spectrum, so they make a natural follow-up once you finish the run here.

On the whole Rick and Morty: The Anime is the kind of series that rewards a patient watch, with Youhei Tadano and Keisuke Chiba doing the heaviest lifting, a tone that stays true to its anime/comedy roots, It has held up since 2024 and so if the premise sounds like your lane, the execution holds up.
The Bottom Line
Rick and Morty: The Anime is a safe bet for anyone already inside the anime and comedy lane, at 10 episodes it is an easy run to work through, the audience score holds around 3.4/10 and so there is little risk in starting it tonight.
Verdict: 3.4/10. Watch it if you want anime/comedy you can settle into.
