Synopsis & Plot Summary

The year is 2052 — an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity prevails across the globe. The reason for this: mankind has been freed from sickness and pain. Nobel Prize winning neuroscientist Dr. Skinner has developed a miracle cure-all drug with no apparent drawbacks called Hapuna. Hapuna soon becomes ubiquitous… and essential. However, soon after Hapuna is officially introduced, Dr. Skinner vanishes. Three years later, the world has moved on. But Dr. Skinner has returned — this time, as a harbinger of doom. Skinner announces that Hapuna has a short half-life. Everyone who has taken it will die approximately three years later. Death is coming for this sinful world — and coming soon. As a response to this threat, a special task force of 5 agents is gathered from across the world to save humanity from Skinner’s plan. This group is called “Lazarus.” Can they find Skinner and develop a vaccine before time runs out? (Source: Adult Swim)

Come on, guys, it wasn’t that bad. While Lazarus is far from perfect, and certainly not a contender for “anime of the year”, it would be unfair to dismiss it entirely. Some things it does well, sometimes even great. And those deserve a few words. The biggest reason I was able to enjoy Lazarus comes...

I had to google how to write a review for this awful show. Genuinely the worst show, including both tv and anime, that I have ever watched. It is such a waste of a great setup, where a team has 30 days to find a cure for a miracle drug that turns out to kill the person taking it before everyone star...
