Lazarus is an Japanese anime series which is aired on TV Tokyo. The series premiered on April 6th, 2025.
In 2052, a Nobel Prize-winning neuroscientist develops a drug called Hapuna — a cure-all that has the unexpected side-effect of causing death three years later. In response to this threat, a special force of agents—nicknamed "Lazarus"— is assembled to take on the malevolent Skinner.
Visually and audibly, the series is a spectacle: animation by top studio MAPPA, music by Kamasi Washington, and action choreographed by the director of John Wick. The result is stylish, sleek, and captivating.
Yet, there are also drawbacks. The characters are slow to get going, and some action scenes are a bit cluttered. The series relies heavily on the style of Watanabe's earlier work, which some may find less innovative.
