Synopsis Lazarus
The year is 2052 – an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity reigns throughout the world. The reason for this: humanity has been freed from disease and pain. Nobel Prize-winning neuroscientist Dr. Skinner has developed a miracle drug called Hapuna, which has no apparent side effects. Hapuna soon becomes ubiquitous… and essential. However, shortly after the official introduction of Hapuna, Dr. Skinner disappears.
So, mark your calendars and get ready for another masterpiece. "Lazarus" promises to be one of the biggest highlights of 2025, and here at AnimeNews, we'll be following every detail of this journey.
Finally, Watanabe directed notable anime productions such as Cowboy Bebop, Macross Plus, Samurai Champloo, Space Dandy, Carole & Tuesday, and Terror in Resonance.
