Rick and Morty: The Anime Ep. 4 Preview: Rick Walks The Green Mile?

Things are getting seriously twisted in this sneak preview for Adult Swim and Takashi Sano's Rick and Morty: The Anime Ep. 4: "Memories."

Heading into this week's chapter of Adult Swim and Takashi Sano's (Tower of God) Rick and Morty: The Anime, we know a lot more about Elle and how she has way more than a passing understanding of time and alternate branching – enough to make more than one Rick more than a bit nervous. And we have a much more "interesting" understanding of Mullet Rick and his native universe, and how Space Morty and Alien Elle took down the Galactic Federation – though not both were treated as heroes. Then there's that end credits scene, as Rick pitches Mullet Rick on not to go MIA on the Smith family he was with before leaving – leaving Mullet Rick to ponder the impact that he's had on Morty. That brings us to the following early preview for "Memories," as Rick faces being executed by the Galactic Federation – but then, things take a few turns…

Here's a look at an early preview for this week's chapter of Adult Swim's Rick and Morty: The Anime – followed by a look back at the animated duo's previous tales from alternate dimensions:

Rick and Morty: Tales from Alternate Dimensions

Directed by Masaru Matsumoto (Starship Troopers: Traitor of Mars) and stemming from Sola Entertainment, the Halloween-inspired The Great Yokai Battle of Akihabara sees Rick looking to build the ultimate AI toaster until a trip to Akihabara for spare parts takes a twisted turn for our dimension-hopping duo. Think screws. Now here's a look at The Great Yokai Battle of Akihabara, followed by looks at other previously released shorts:

Directed by Takashi Sano, produced by Sola Entertainment, and animated at Telecom Animation Film, the anime short Rick and Morty vs. Genocider finds Morty going on an adventure to Tokyo, Japan, to try and help stop "The Genocider." And yes, it's beautiful, emotional, and some really weird stuff happens:

Sano returned with the new short (produced by Sola Entertainment and animated by Telecom Animation Film), Summer Meets God (Rick Meets Evil)– following up on his previous short, Rick & Morty vs. Genocider. Here's a look at the short, with a focus on Summer and Jerry that goes in ways we didn't expect:

Written and directed by Kaichi Sato and produced by Studio DEEN, "Samurai & Shogun" finds Rick WTM72 (Yohei Tadano) and Shogun Morty (Keisuke Chiba) in a Lone Wolf and Cub-themed dimension. A nasty group of Ninja Ricks isn't willing to let go of Shogun Morty without a fight – an option that Rick WTM72 is more than willing to oblige. From there, we have a look at the follow-up short that continues the story, Samurai and Shogun Part 2:

In the creative spirit of Samurai & Shogun by Kaichi Sato and Rick & Morty vs. Genocider from Takeshi Sano, here's a look at Rick and Morty in the Eternal Nightmare Machine– where even the "Rick-mobile" can prove deadly, and you'll wonder like we do why Scary Terry isn't a downloadable character for a fighting game like Mortal Kombat:
