Set to premiere in 2024, the Lazarus anime promises a high-octane sci-fi action experience with a deep philosophical twist.

Announced at Adult Swim's Toonami panel, Lazarus is a dystopian tale set in the year 2052. Humanity lives in peace thanks to a miracle drug created by visionary Dr. Skinner. However, when it’s discovered the drug has a deadly side effect, a special task force named Lazarus is formed to stop a looming global catastrophe. With breathtaking visuals, futuristic themes, and choreographed fight scenes directed by Chad Stahelski (John Wick), this anime is poised to redefine the genre.

The Lazarus anime is produced by MAPPA, the powerhouse studio behind hits like Jujutsu Kaisen and Attack on Titan Final Season, ensuring top-tier animation and storytelling. Paired with a jazz-infused techno score featuring talents like Flying Lotus, viewers can anticipate a gripping audio-visual journey.

Whether you're a longtime Watanabe fan or new to his work, Lazarus is shaping up to be one of the most anticipated anime releases in years.
