Wubba Lubba Dub-Dub... in Kanji.
"I understood none of the plot, but I felt all of the entropy." That might be the best way to describe the experience of watching Rick and Morty: The Anime , the long-gestating, mind-bending companion series from director Takashi Sano (known for Tower of God and The God of High School ).
However, if you are a fan of Serial Experiments Lain , Neon Genesis Evangelion , or the darker Rick and Morty comics, this is a masterpiece. Episode 7, "The Memory Shogun’s Lament," is arguably the best piece of character study Rick has ever received, exploring why he actually drinks—not for fun, but to silence the versions of himself that succeeded.
This is not Rick and Morty season seven-and-a-half. It is a separate, parallel-universe fever dream. And after ten episodes, one thing is clear: It is the most ambitious, frustrating, and visually stunning piece of animation the franchise has ever produced. Adult Swim was surprisingly honest when they called this an "anime." Unlike the main show’s manic ADHD pacing, Season 1 operates on dream logic. The plot, as much as it exists, follows a "Space Shogun" version of Rick who is locked in a temporal war with the Galactic Federation. But that’s just the A-plot.
