Time was during the dreg days of Adult Swim Action (2007-2012) the fear that the block would be canceled forever was due to economic factors, the Great Recession, and DeMarco's shit taste. Production of anime was down and if it didn't mean their punishing standards, well fuck you, besides a few years of SyFy and Ani-Monday, they were the only game in town and very willing to lord that fact over the viewers not willing to shell out $30 for 4 episodes of a show. Family Guy was going to take over Saturdays and that would be it. That was a tangible issue people could whine about. Get different shows. Loosen up your standards. Etc, etc. Now the problem is that cable is dying. Even sports are migrating to the streaming model, with the uber-service being blocked, sports included with Max, Peacock, and other subscriptions, not to mention the billions in losses on the traditional studios blamed squarely on the linear channels. Do the shows they get really matter if no one is watching the channel anymore? It's starting to feel like the house is falling down around us and we're arguing over the wallpaper.

This seems to reinforce my belief that this show was not designed for an ongoing story and that the Adult Swim Stoner Series as a whole is incompatible with longer form, more complex storytelling. Granted we’re three years from having enough Space Ghost comics to make a proper anime that lets him be a serious character again (the comics four issues in are surprisingly good) but that’s really the only Adult Swim original that would benefit from a switch to serialization and upgraded animation.

The whole thing feels like people on an abandoned island fighting over food scraps. With cable networks becoming increasingly expensive albatrosses on media companies, on top of advertising focus switching towards streaming, it doesn't feel like it will help in the long run. Animation Domination on Hulu ads are a big deal, and they're essentially cornered by Family Guy and Futurama (along with The Simpsons and Solar Opposites), an old school Adult Swim block that just needs to properly advertise Bleach to really hammer home the similarities. You're not getting the new Futurama's either way, those are staying on streaming, while the new Family Guy's are Fox to streaming. As for Rewind, I like the concept of it, but it feels 10 years too late to matter. Even if the adventures of the biggest girlfailure to ever fight monsters is more charming than half of the current CN lineup put together, it's airing on 5pm on a Friday. Not appointment television. Meanwhile the redub is over on Hulu, and Netflix is airing the remake movies.

Rick and Morty the anime drops full trailer, August 15 release date

The previous specials have this particular Rick playing the part of grumpy patriarch more than abusive drunk. He’s still Rick but is a bit more sympathetic than American Rick.
