In 2049, a cheap, effective painkiller with zero side effects hits the global market. Billions of people take it. Then the scientist who created it vanishes. Three years later, he shows back up with an announcement: everyone who took the drug is going to die in 30 days. That's the setup for Lazarus, and the clock starts ticking from episode one. A specialized task force, also called Lazarus, gets thrown together to track down the missing doctor and somehow find a cure before the body count starts. The team is a ragtag group of specialists from around the world: a Brazilian escape artist, a Nigerian strategist, a Russian sharpshooter, and others who each bring something specific to the table. The show leans hard into its ticking-clock tension, mixing global conspiracy with tight, character-driven action sequences. Here's what makes this one worth your time on a production level alone: Shinichirō Watanabe is directing, the guy behind Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo. The action choreography comes from Chad Stahelski, who directed the John Wick films. And the soundtrack features Kamasi Washington. If you liked the stylish genre-blending of Ghost in the Shell: Stand Alone Complex or the near-future tension of Psycho-Pass, this is in that wheelhouse, but with a doomsday countdown driving the whole thing forward. Thirteen episodes, MAPPA animation, original story. No source material to spoil you.

sofivv8★★★☆☆VerifiedEP 1Watanabe regresa con jazz, estilo y un mundo al borde del colapso por la droga Hapna. Axel es exactamente el protagonista irreverente que no podía venir de nadie más. Muy prometedor para ser el primer capítulo.
mateomartinez3001★★☆☆☆AnimeIt had potential in its first episodes and then it started becoming boring. There is a pace issue that I think it made the series a little bit unwatchable. But, the soundtrack though. My god. It's the best thing of this anime.
meepo★★★★★AnimeUnique characters, fast-paced fight scenes, somber premise.
I like their animations and art style, it’s different. Might not be the kind that everyone likes but I’m sure there are people will enjoy to the max.
thandeezy★★★★★VerifiedEP 13Overall, I think a decent finale. There are a lot of plot lines they could’ve addressed, but like most Toonami shows the ending is normally controversial. I feel this ending could’ve had better execution. I liked Lazarus for the most part though and hope to see more shows from this creator as he made Cowboy Bebop, one of my favourites.
thandeezy★★★★☆VerifiedEP 12Calm episode before the climax of the series, not a lot of world building as some lose ends within the series are tied up but a decent episode regardless. I hope the main story has a good conclusion unlike most original stories. Looking forward to the finale.
thandeezy★★★★☆VerifiedEP 11Great episode that starts off a bit slow but ends with some great action and fighting scenes. The animation is still top notch, but there the main dilemma is still yet to reach its conclusion.
thandeezy★★★★☆VerifiedEP 10Another backstory uncovered within this episode and solid pacing as we get closer to the conclusion of our main story. My hope is that there is a thorough conclusion to the main story due to my pacing concerns previously addressed.
thandeezy★★★☆☆VerifiedEP 9After the previous episode, it seems the show has gone back to its main flaw of diverting from the original story. A new character is introduced as we are getting to the end, yet there is no suspense or buildup which leads to a poor episode in my opinion.
thandeezy★★★★★VerifiedEP 8Probably the best episode so far, as we get a glimpse into the backstory of one of our main characters and the episode is full of great action and emotions. Pacing was much better and the visuals for certain scenes remain stunning.
rizeandreze★★★★★AnimeNostalgic cyberpunk mystery masterpiece, modern day cowboy bebop, impactful message, insane visuals and well down pacing
rizeandreze★★★★★VerifiedEP 8I won't complain about sidequesting as it's necessary to show the tension between countries even on the countdown of world ending, as it was also the reason Skinner made his decision as he don't see hope in humanity anymore with the neverending conflict. And we also get to learn about Chris's backstory, so no complains.
rizeandreze★★★★★VerifiedEP 7I really like how they slowed down this EP with each of the members trying to find clues on Skinner but instead was reminded of how beautiful the world was before all this mess. It's done it's job to deliver sentimental feelings, and not to mention the visuals were beautiful.
rizeandreze★★★★☆VerifiedEP 9They may have given too much screentime to Soryu the assassin, with the army plotting to kill Axel, it didn't make much sense until I've finished the series and all I can say it's laid out pretty well.
rizeandreze★★★★★VerifiedEP 11This is peak fight scene between an undefeated phantom assassin and a gifted fighter or lucky even
rizeandreze★★★★★VerifiedEP 12The climax before the last ep, one step closer to the cure
rizeandreze★★★★★VerifiedEP 13It makes sense now why it had this cowboy bebop vibe, very impactful ending. A nostalgic mystery cyberpunk masterpiece. RIP
thandeezy★★★★☆VerifiedEP 7Visually appealing yet again as our characters are tasked with going on a journey of discovery. Not sure if it will tie into the main plot at all as the pacing is still a problem. Credit to Mappa for the animation.
thandeezy★★★★☆VerifiedEP 6Issues with the flow/pacing of the story still remain even in the 6th episode. At the very least there is a focus on one of our main characters and the visuals really carry the episode. My hope is the main storyline gets attention in the next episode.
