Rick and Morty: The Anime

This show captured me from the start. An homage to the genre and unique at the same time. I first fell in love with Dan Harmons work while watching Community, and remember I go back to that show I see the seeds of themes he consistently returns to. Time, loss, regret, hope. At times nihilistic, but someone finding a post-post modernist meaning. Watching this anime is a joy, it intertwines these themes and seems to say that yes, existence predates meaning, but meaning can be found in our existence. Give it a chance, give it time to cook and enjoy the ride along the way. My favorite anime, Cowboy Bebop, has these early lore drops that are COMPLETELY without context. The payoff in a great anime is a slow burn that ties together in the end. I'm enjoying the road and I trust the captain. If the show sticks the landing then it will be as legendary as Rick and Morty has become, if not moreso.

It's crap! It takes more than a few "Sum-sum"s some belching and 'oh geezes' to make a R&M and This guy knows he has to make it scifi so he throws in some hackney lines about multiverse and Sim reality theory (BOTH OF WHICH ARE UNSOUND BTW) and thinks people will be dazzled and impressed The issue we all have with R&M isn't that the quality of the Animation is SO FABULOUS that it takes ½ year to complete every episode, in fact the animation is kinda chewgey - so WHY are they doing this if it's not the writers or any aspect of the og Just crank out 10 more QUALITY episodes A YEAR of the OG ffs.
