The celebration of Toonami's 25th anniversary has made its way over to the world of a highly anticipated horror anime, Uzumaki based on the manga of the same title by Japanese manga artist Junji Ito.

What's the best way to spice up your March Madness…or Saint Patrick's Day…or Spring Break? With a Pickle Rick Frosty, of course! Wendy's partnered with the Adult Swim staple show Rick and Morty to bring "Morty's Mayhem", a pop-up fast food experience offering a free taste of their fries, hot honey chicken biscuit, frosty-ccino, and[...]

It's nice to see Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's animated Adult Swim series Rick and Morty taking a break from shilling for Wendy's (with love & respect because bills need to get paid) to get back to addressing the important matter at hand And that important matter would be addressing the demands for a sixth season[...]

If there's one thing we've always appreciated about Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's animated Adult Swim series it's that when it goes the "corporate partnership" route, it does so by owning up to it without ever dialing back who the dimension-hopping duo truly is So when we saw that Rick and Morty was teaming up[...]

But the time for despair is now over, with Adult Swim releasing a first look at the second season of the Amy Poehler (Parks and Recreation)-produced comedy series ahead of its April 24th return And any concerns you may have had about our Debras becoming a little less Debra over the past year? Well, let's[...]

And then there's the matter of the most important question any fan could have about Season 6, which Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's Adult Swim animated series did head-on So now seems as good of a time as any to take a breather and have a little fun For example, their take on The Batman[...]

Thankfully, the good folks over at the Rick and Morty Instagram account were kind enough to address the most important question out there about the upcoming season. Image: Screencap Here's a look at the Adult Swim animated series tackling the tough questions head-on without a moment of hesitation and with the kind of definitive response that makes[...]

"The Rick and Morty/James Gunn Affair" Day #16: Prince Nebulon & Morty, Jr. enter the scene as Gunn tries to make some suspects sweat.

The Rick and Morty/James Gunn mystery continued into Day #13 as Phoenixperson entered the scene and Gunn began compiling suspects.

What is the purpose? What message are they trying to send? Who is working with them on the inside? These questions and more remained unanswered- as does a new one that sprang up today after Gunn revealed that Adult Swim's animated money-makers are now putting the signal out to The Vindicators But it begs the[...]

Rick and Morty continue dialing up the mind games against James Gunn, this time rolling out Jerry and his lameness to bum him out.

As of this earlier this evening, we learned that Hulu's Solar Opposites and Adult Swim's Rick and Morty have another thing in common besides Justin Roiland and Mike McMahan Production workers at both adult animated series have filed to join The Animation Guild (TAG) to collectively bargain for their first union contract Positions listed as[...]

After making sure he was crystal clear that he loves and respects Dan Harmon & Justin Roiland's animated Adult Swim series way too much to ever consider a live-action adaptation, we thought things would be smoothed over between Peacemaker series creator James Gunn and Rick and Morty But alas, Gunn's Guardians of the Galaxy Vol[...]

Needing a break from the Rick and Morty/James Gunn stuff, Justin Roiland was kind enough to share a look at a "Kinder" but not gentler Rick.

When asked if he would direct a live-action version of the Adult Swim series, Gunn didn't waste time shooting down the idea with some seriously high praise "I would never I just couldn't The animated series is just so beautiful & perfect I would never touch it One of the greatest TV shows ever," Gunn[...]

Unfortunately, this time around? "We're getting no closer to an answer to who is doing this." Dammit… Rick and Morty (Image: Screencap/Marvel Studios) In fact, Gunn threw some love at the Adult Swim series during a recent interview about his HBO Max series Peacemaker When asked about his approach to end credits, Gunn responded by saying that[...]

Just when we thought the answer was at hand, the Rick and Morty-James Gunn mystery only deepened with a surprise appearance by Pickle Rick.

At this point, does it really matter if it's about whether someone wants him to write an episode of Dan Harmon & Justin's Roiland's Adult Swim animated series or a steady stream of warnings from the dimension-hopping duo to him that the galaxy has more than enough "guardians"? Peacemaker series creator James Gunn's Guardians of the[...]

Again, it's either Rick and Morty not appreciating other "galaxy guardians" getting all of their press (and box office) or someone's trying to convince Gunn to write and direct an episode of the Adult Swim series (and we're all-in on the latter). Image: Screencap Here's a look at what Gunn had to share earlier today, followed by[...]

Looking to have a little fun or already bored with the Super Bowl? Rick and Morty are offering a chance to put our faces over their holes.

Four days in and clearly James Gunn isn't getting the message so Rick and Morty are sending in the big guns. That's right... Snowball.

And while we hinted at it late in yesterday's post, we're going to formally put this out there before the image jump. A Gunn-written episode of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty would definitely be event-viewing. Image: Screencaps Here's a look at the latest "crime scene photographs" from Gunn… could Phoenix Bird Person be next? Ok now Mr Poopybutthole showed[...]

So what does this have to do with Adult Swim's Rick and Morty? We never imagined there would be any connections- that is until Gunn shared a look at two familiar faces who have mysteriously found their way onto the set and into Gunn's life In the image he shared via Twitter, we get a[...]

While we were looking for ways to beat back down Rick and Morty Season 4 obsession that we were opening up to you about yesterday (Cheap Plug Alert!), we stumbled upon (well, actually we went looking but "stumbled" makes us sound cool & detached) a post from none other Adult Swim series co-creator (with Dan[...]

With only three episodes to go on this season of Crunchyroll and Adult Swim's Blade Runner: Black Lotus, we have a look ahead to tonight's episode "All the Best Memories." With his father out of the way, Niander Wallace Jr begins his plan for a world populated by replicants- with more than just a little[...]

Having wrapped a fifth season of Rick and Morty that turned out to be a major game-changer for Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's Adult Swim series moving forward, you would figure there would be more than enough in the show's here-and-now to obsess over until the sixth season And yet, we can't stop obsessing over[...]

Shenmue The Animation, an adaptation of the cult martial arts video game, premieres on Saturday, February 5 at 9:30 PM PST on Crunchyroll and Adult Swim The English dubbed version will air in North America on Toonami (Adult Swim's signature anime block) and Crunchyroll will stream the subtitled version worldwide outside of Japan and China. "Shenmue[...]

For those of you who regularly visit Bleeding Cool for our coverage of Dan Harmon and Justin Roiland's Adult Swim animated series Rick and Morty, you know that we've also been sharing updates from Roiland regarding the health of his dog Jerry- his best friend for 13 years as well as the inspiration for Beth's husband's name,[...]

With only hours to go until the next episode of Crunchyroll and Adult Swim's Blade Runner: Black Lotus hits your screens, we have a look at what's ahead with "Free Will." Last week, Officer Davis's hard work led to Chen discovering the remains of replicants So how was she rewarded? With a three-month suspension from the[...]

By the time you read this, we will have already crawled our way into a new year, and what better way to kick things off than with a new episode of Crunchyroll and Adult Swim's Blade Runner: Black Lotus? Returning to the Toonami programming block this New Year's Day night, this week's episode comes on the[...]
