It's alive! Adult Swim called for a Rick & Morty series to be directed by Takashi Sano, who also directed the popular R&M shorts.
If you've watched the two shorts, you'll know that Rick and Morty: The Anime Series is a series of adventures so violent and crazy it makes the original version seem tame. If you haven't seen them yet, we recommend it.
It sounds like Ninja Kamui is an old-school animation with ninjas, robots, and a lot of vengeance.
A synopsis provided by Adult Swim reads in part, "Ninja Kamui follows Joe Higan who is a Nukenin, a former ninja who escaped his clan and is hiding from his violent past in rural America with his family." Joe will come back as Ninja Kamui to avenge his family and friends. Kamui is a 21st century ninja who pits his ancient skills against high-tech weaponry. He has to face off against trained assassins, combat cyborgs, and rival ninjas to bring down the clan that made him.
Adult Swim has produced its own animation shows before, including Fena: Pirate Princess, Blade Runner: Black Lotus, and an adaptation of U.
No release dates have been announced for R&M:TA and Ninja Kamui. We know that the Rick & Morty animation will be 10 full episodes, just like a normal season of R&M, and that Telecom Animation Film did the two shorts. The character designs from Batman: Ninja will be used in Ninja Kamui.
