What is Lazarus About?
Director Shinichiro Watanabe’s name needs no introduction. Anime fans know the supremacy of his work through Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo.
Lazarus is a collaboration of a powerhouse of talents. MAPPA and Solo Entertainment created it. Action sequences are designed and directed by Chad Stahelski of John Wick fame. The score of the series is a combined effort of Floating Points, Kamasi Washington, and Bonobo.
The story is set in the year 2055. The group of agents makes a task force ‘Lazarus’ to search for Dr. Skinner and find a cure for the miracle-drug-gone-wrong ‘Hapna.’
Dr. Skinner released the miracle drug Hapna, a cure for all pains. Naturally, it was an instant hit. Soon Dr. Skinner disappeared.
He shows up in 2055 with a ticking timebomb news, ‘Hapna has a side effect; those who took the pills will die in thirty days.’
Those who took these pills three years ago, post-release, will die within a month. Dr. Skinner may have a cure, but no one can find him.
This is when a team of agents forms Lazarus. Their mission is to find a doctor and cure of the Hapna.
The series is a commentary by Shinichiro Watanabe on the opioid crisis and times when the world is in dire need of vaccines. He mentioned in an interview that the series is inspired by the opioid crisis.
The lead protagonist of the series, Axel, is a lone wolf, a parkour, and an outlaw.
