First look at anime episode 2 released: Watch

Rick and Morty: The anime shared the first look at episode 2

Rick and Morty: The Anime officially launched on Adult Swim this summer and has now offered a first look at what's coming next in Episode 2. Rick and Morty: The Anime is a brand new take on Adult Swim's original animated series that imagines a different side of the multiverse, where Rick and Morty are now experiencing a whole new wave of anime adventures. The first episode made waves with some firsts for the franchise as a whole, and now it continues as its own multiverse and space-time go awry.

Rick and Morty: The Anime introduced this new anime version of the main cast, but also brought in some new ideas of its own, as Rick and Morty soon found themselves in an ever-changing space-time. Rick himself was lost in all of this change, and it seems like this will put him on a collision course with the other Rick we also saw in the premiere episode. You can check out the first look here: Rick and Morty: The Anime Episode 2 below, discovered by Swimpedia on X.
