Review of Lazarus

Another disappointment from this year's anime releases. Superficial in its themes, it shows "oh deep" themes, but without delving into them or really taking them seriously. A worldbuilding that barely holds up, and good action scenes just to show they could do it. Most episodes revolve around the team essentially doing "nothing" and making little to no progress in the plot, with minimal development in characterization and/or their relationships. The last episode was terrible, and the airport reveal makes several events in the series less meaningful, even though the formation of the eponymous group makes sense. Several characters introduced throughout the series were unintentionally unlikable (exactly, I'm nottalking about the villains), and overall, few seemed interesting, from their designs to their narrative construction.
