With the show’s biggest controversy to date now in the rear view, and the new voices in the cast settled in, io9 got a chance to ask co-creator Dan Harmon and showrunner Scott Marder how aware they are of Rick and Morty’s vocal fan community.

Marder agreed. “I generally was really pleased with the response. We felt like we did our job on our end, but the fan response felt like way more of a warm hug than I expected, and it was very rewarding.”

New Rick and Morty episodes arrive Sundays at 11 p.m. ET/PT on Adult Swim.
