Lazarus stands out as a groundbreaking sci-fi anime, featuring a stellar lineup of talent from both the anime and broader entertainment industries. Directed by Shinichirō Watanabe, renowned for his work on Cowboy Bebop, Lazarus is not a revival but an entirely new venture. The animation is a collaborative effort between Mappa Studio, known for hits like Chainsaw Man and Jujutsu Kaisen, and Sola Entertainment, the team behind Tower of God. Adding to the excitement, Chad Stahelski, the visionary behind the John Wick series, has crafted the series' action sequences.
With such a high-caliber team and a veil of mystery surrounding it, it's no wonder that Adult Swim has acquired Lazarus for simultaneous airing in the U.S. and Japan. If you're eager to catch the latest episodes online, here's everything you need to know.
