Lazarus is an innovative sci-fi action anime produced by Shinichiro Watanabe, with Studio MAPPA managing the animation and Chad Stahelski (known for John Wick) coordinating the action sequences. The story unfolds in the year 2052, a time marked by unparalleled global peace due to Hapuna, a miraculous cure developed by Dr. Skinner, a neuroscientist.
Spreading worldwide as a side-effect-free wonder drug, Hapuna gains popularity. Yet, the inventor, Skinner, disappears – reappearing three years later with a shocking revelation: Hapuna leads to death after three years. Humanity now faces a ticking clock, with only 30 days left before global extinction. To save mankind, a five-member team, Lazarus, is formed from various parts of the world, tasked with finding Skinner and acquiring the only known vaccine.
According to their official site, the first episode of Lazarus has been named ‘Goodbye Cruel World.’ This installment will unveil the grim reality behind the Hapuna. Furthermore, it will present a character named Axel, who’s approached by Harsh. Later, Axel is given an opportunity for freedom when he agrees to hunt down Skinner on behalf of Harsh.
In a different turn of events, Axel manages to flee, igniting a thrilling chase across the city. Four operatives – Doug, Chris, Leland, and Elena – are sent after him. The chase unfolds with intense action sequences, combining the style of John Wick with parkour stunts. This pursuit seems poised to introduce the Lazarus squad, who will reportedly be on the trail of Dr. Skinner in the forthcoming episode.
The first episode of Lazarus is set to debut on Japanese Standard Time (JST) at 11:45 pm on April 6, 2025. Keep in mind that the exact release time may differ based on region and time zone. In Japan, viewers can catch it on television networks like TV Tokyo, TV Osaka, and TV Hokkaido.
