A new stylish Anime. Lazarus storms into the anime world fast, stylish, and utterly unforgettable. Helmed by the legendary Shinichirō Watanabe, this series is a visual and emotional rollercoaster.
Back to the future
Lazarus is set in 2052, where a miracle drug promised to cure all disease, until its creator reveals it’s a death sentence. With humanity on a countdown to extinction, a covert team called Lazarus must stop the man who doomed the world. With the action sequences designed by Chad Stahelski (John Wick’s director), every movement is precise, visceral, and cinematic. The hand-to-hand combat is a dance — fluid and beautifully raw.
A new protagonist
The protagonist, Axel, is a standout force. He moves with the chaotic agility of Mugen from Samurai Champloo, yet commands the screen with the effortless charisma of Spike Spiegel from Cowboy Bebop. It’s a fusion that makes him magnetic, unpredictable, and impossible not to root for.
Watanabe = stylish soundtrack
And then there’s the soundtrack. It pulses, grooves, and slinks through scenes like a character of its own, instantly calling back memories of Cowboy Bebop’s jazz-infused brilliance. The music doesn’t just accompany the action; it amplifies it, creating a rhythm that wraps every punch, every chase, every slow-motion leap.
A new stylish Anime, Lazarus is not just an action anime, it’s a high-art collision of style and substance. If you’re into kinetic fights, charismatic rebels, and soundscapes that hit just right, Lazarus isn’t one to miss.
