_best_ — Rick And Morty S01e01 R5

Just don't expect the audio to sync during the credits.

For two whole weeks, the only way to see Rick turn Morty into a neutrino bomb was to endure the R5. It was a right of passage. You watched it in 480p with artifacted shadows and dubbed audio because the hype was real. Community forums were flooded with threads like: rick and morty s01e01 r5

The R5 of the pilot was not the final animation. Animators for House of Cosby's (the studio behind the show) had clearly finished the scenes, but the color grading was off. Characters didn't pop against the backgrounds. The lighting on Rick’s lab looked flat compared to the deep shadows of the broadcast version. It looked like a really, really good Flash game. Just don't expect the audio to sync during the credits

"Is the R5 worth it, or should I wait for the 720p WEB?" "The Russian subtitles are burned in, but I don't care. Wubba lubba dub dub!" Today, you can stream the pilot in 4K HDR. The belches are crisp. The colors pop. Justin Roiland’s improvised stutters are perfectly encoded. You watched it in 480p with artifacted shadows
