While the battle choreography is pretty good, everything else falls disappointingly flat. The animation is generic, the sci-fi setting fails to establish its own identity, and the characters feel like a dollar-store version of Cowboy Bebop with shallow development and uninteresting interactions. ...

Shinichiro Watanabe's Lazarus is nothing short of a disaster given the expectation, but even without the hype, it's a barely serviceable message to the world about saving itself. I'm inclined to blame Adult Swim, as I'm sure the similarities to Watanabe's magnum opus are poor executive creative d...

Every review is subjective, art is subjective your opinion may differ, never trust reviews to make the opinion for you, use them as a guide and make your own journey. -- There are certain anime that provoke unusually polarised reactions, attracting both strong admiration and outright dismissal. T...

When I found out that the Creator of cowboy bebop, one of my favorite series was releasing a new show and called it his masterpiece...I immediately added it to my watchlist. Unfortunately this show is not a masterpiece and cannot compare anywhere close to the quality of bebop. While the show was ...

As much potential as this series originally had, I feel it was a bit of a letdown. The overly childish art style overall (especially of the tech and machinery) pales in comparison to Cowboy Bebop's extremely classy and imaginative one. Honestly, the plot really felt too rushed, as if the anime wa...

The first issue was that everyone compared it to Cowboy Bebop. The second issue is that everyone somehow just... Glossed over the whole point of the story? It's really weird how a story that calls out complacency and ignorance of world issues for pleasure gets called "one of the worst animes made...

While the series originally showed potential and works well for younger viewers, I found the execution deeply disappointing. The overly childish art style—particularly regarding the tech and machinery—combined with a rushed plot that felt like a 24-episode story crammed into 13 installments and a...

While the fight scenes are fine, Lazarus fails to deliver on nearly every other front. The characters feel artificially constructed with convenient backstories and no real development, the apocalyptic narrative feels rushed and lacks believable chaos, and the music and production left me unimpres...

I'm a fan of Shinichiro Watanabe's works, and I was looking forward to seeing this anime. Soon as I had gotten myself into it from beginning to end, I found this to be a mixed bag. Is it Cowboy Bebop? No. Is it Carole and Tuesday? No. Is it Samurai Champloo? No. It does have some moments, yet it ...

I love Shinichiro Watanabe's anime, not just Cowboy Bebop, but also Space Dandy and Samurai Champloo; so when I heard about this anime, I was really looking forward to it. I'm sad to say that it's really disappointing. Unlike Watanabe's other works, the characters feel very one dimensional and do...

The action is absolutely top tier thanks to MAPPA's animation efforts, and I found the soundtrack to be a solid strength even if it doesn't quite match Watanabe's previous masterpieces, while the plot twist at the end brilliantly sticks to the Lazarus theme of rising from the dead to fix the worl...

This anime delivers a new and fresh plot that takes you through many different experiences, feeling like a mix between a Mission Impossible movie and a Hitman level, featuring a lovable yet mysterious protagonist alongside charming side characters. While some side characters can get a little anno...

New and fresh plot for a series, the series takes you through so many different experiences, and that's why it's a great anime, highly recommended for new anime enthusiasts. A lovable and yet mysterious protagonist and their hunt to find Skinner truly make you excited to see the next episode! The...

This anime is not as bad as it seems online, but there are a few valid key points that I have seen over this series. The high budget costs for marketing/hyping up the anime seemed to be better than the anime itself. Hyping up Mappa and the music producers such as Kamasi Washington and Bonobo assi...

Another mediocre anime for ~12 episodes, created to watch half-heartedly while you washing dishes, vacuuming the room, or doing homework for school. As usual, there is a good idea that is presented to you in the first episode, but as the series progresses, it becomes boring to watch. You can watc...

The animation delivers spectacular parkour and action sequences designed by Chad Stahelski that prove Hollywood choreography can work brilliantly in anime, supported by an outstanding score from Kamasi Washington and Bonobo that keeps the apocalyptic narrative engaging. Unfortunately, the story f...

This anime delivers a profound critique of complacency and ignorance regarding world issues, using deliberately muted colors and flat voice acting to create a bleak world where nobody cares—exactly as intended to embody its themes of nothingness. It has its flaws, but it's really not as bad as pe...

Lazarus, unfortunately, deserves all the criticism it is getting. Even though both Samurai Champloo and Cowboy Bebop would both probably make my 3x3, Lazarus is a significantly worse show. Even as a Kamasi Washington fan, I was fairly unimpressed with the music and the production overall. The cha...
