Rick and Morty: The Anime first look at Space Beth (comicbook.com)

Would you consider this as anime, despite the label in the title?

On to the trailer, it wasn't impressive: The action and low framerate wasn't smooth or comprehensible.

And Japanese Rick's voice felt miscast to me, but as you may know, once a Japanese VA is cast as a particular Hollywood actor, they pretty much have that role for life.

In that clip, we may be listening to the VA who voices Rick in the Japanese dub of the regular Rick and Morty show.

I wouldn't know because I have never watched that dub.

wtf didn't know this was a thing in the works.
As for the animation I presonally found to it to be good, a bit too good even for action scenes, I would be very surprised if the action and movements were this fluid in trhoughout the show. That basically does not happen unless it's a big budget anime. Which to be fair, this might be.
Not sure about the character designs though, they are somewhat in the uncanny valley for me.

You are assuming it’s being made with the same market forces, and thus limitations, as “real” anime.

If they produced this on a weekly schedule, with artists who were relentlessly working on and being drastically underpaid for multiple projects (often under contract), sure, that’s a valid criticism.

But the market for anime is weird and very unpleasant, and, well, that’s simply not the reality here.. (I mean we aren’t far off, but the conditions for actual anime artists are pretty fucking bad)

Instead, this franchise seems to have several teams working on getting every opportunity they can out of it. They have -so many- comics, so much merchandise, and the actual animated stuff I guess, and people animating non-“cannon” stuff like the animated court case (which is hilarious and I recommend watching - it’s apparently real court minutes..) and whatever else they can come up with like detailing their merchandizing plan in a very meta way (I don’t know where to find a copy of the actual comic to link so this will have to do, I’m sorry)
