Rick and Morty: The Anime Finale Preview: Morty's Happily Ever After
Check out an early sneak preview for the season finale of Adult Swim and Takashi Sano's Rick and Morty: The Anime, "A Pain in the Back."
With only one episode remaining on what we're hoping will be the first and not the only season of Adult Swim and Takashi Sano's (Tower of God) Rick and Morty: The Anime, we have a sneak preview for "A Pain in the Back." But this one needs very little setup because it's all about emotions and some serious kicks to the "feels."

Here's a look at the short, with a focus on Summer and Jerry that goes in ways we didn't expect:

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:
