The visual identity of is a deliberate departure from the original series, trading the sharp, digital puppet-rigged look of the Western show for a more traditional, hand-drawn Japanese aesthetic.

: While the character designs remain recognizable, they are filtered through a "Japanese eye". New characters like L , Morty's alien love interest, lean heavily into established anime tropes with more complex, non-satirical designs.

The series has sparked significant debate, with some fans praising its "Interdimensional Cable" feel and others finding the shift in animation quality and pacing jarring. It is best viewed as a unique artistic interpretation within the broader multiverse rather than a direct sequel.
