The animated series Rick and Morty now includes seven seasons. This summer, an anime begins, based on the stories of Rick Sanchez and Morty Smith. The anime could offer Morty something he has not received in seven seasons of the animated series.
What could Morty get in the anime? In the seven seasons of the animated series, Morty never managed to sustain a long-term relationship. He had several interests, but none of the short-term relationships developed into a familiar bond.
This could change in the anime. In the opening and the trailers for Rick and Morty: The Anime, a mysterious girl with blonde hair appears. She seems to not originate from the animated series and appears to be Morty’s girlfriend.
In the trailer, there are scenes showing Morty making out with the girl. We also see the blonde lady taking selfies with Morty and his family. No girlfriend of Morty’s has been this intimate, so it could be a first for him to have a steady girlfriend.
Ultimately, we will have to wait and see how the relationship between the two develops. However, we can assume that the girl will play an important role in the anime.
You can see the girlfriend in the following trailer for Rick and Morty: The Anime:
Morty has so far been unsuccessful in romantic relationships
Has he never had a girlfriend? Morty has often tried to build a serious relationship in the animated series. He traveled across the universe and encountered strange girls like:
- Gwendolyn, a sex robot
- Arthricia, a cat person
- Planetina, a parody of Captain Planet
Among the girls Morty liked the most was Jessica. Unfortunately, the two of them only managed a brief relationship.
Morty even managed to have a long-term relationship once. However, he eventually used a remote control that rewound time. Unfortunately, Morty couldn’t win over the lady on his second attempt. Therefore, he ended up empty-handed.
What is Rick and Morty: The Anime? The anime, like the animated series of the same name, revolves around the Smith household. Living in the house are the mad scientist Rick, his grandson Morty, his granddaughter Summer, his daughter Beth, and his son-in-law Jerry.
In the anime, Rick and Morty will once again travel through different dimensions and experience adventures. In doing so, they will encounter different versions of themselves. The anime’s art style has softer outlines than the original.
The series was produced partly in Japan and partly in the USA. The main person responsible for the anime is Takashi Sano. The first season is reported to have 10 episodes and will premiere on August 16, 2024, on the pay-TV channel Warner TV Comedy.
If you are looking for another anime before the start of Rick and Morty, Netflix might have the right selection for you. In 2024, a total of 18 new animes will be added to the program: 18 anime come new to Netflix, one of which every anime fan should know
