Adult Swim has finally shared the full Rick and Morty: The Anime trailer for the upcoming animated spin-off, which hails from visionary director Takashi Sano (Blood +, Lupin III.)

“Takashi Sano, in addition to being a super-talented director, is also a huge ‘Rick and Morty’ fan,” Adult Swim president Michael Ouweleen said in a statement. “He’s the perfect person to give us all this alternate version of this amazing show. And the perfect way to launch this series is by doing our favorite thing – drive ridiculous vehicles around and come see all of you in person.
