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?

Where it came from
Lazarus is an original anime series announced by Adult Swim and produced by the animation studio MAPPA. It was conceived as a high-concept science fiction thriller set in the year 2052, where a Nobel Prize-winning neuroscientist develops a miracle cure for all diseases known as Hapuna, only for the world to learn that the drug carries a lethal expiration date, forcing a group of five agents known as Lazarus to prevent humanity's extinction.
The series is written and directed by Shinichiro Watanabe, the visionary creator behind acclaimed projects like Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo. Watanabe intended the series to be a cinematic endeavor, incorporating high-octane action sequences with the assistance of martial arts director Chad Stahelski, and featuring a jazz-inflected soundtrack that aligns with Watanabe's long-standing tradition of blending rhythmic musical styles with futuristic narratives.
