Kambole Campbell AV Club Luckily, what hasn’t changed from Cowboy Bebop is Watanabe’s sense of style and interest in using animation to depict and empower people who have fallen through the cracks. Rated: B+ Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Sherin Nicole RIOTUS Lazarus is Watanabe at his most fearless—a collision of sci-fi, silliness, and soul, questioning humanity’s choices while delivering action and characters dripping in quirk. Apr 6, 2025 Full Review Daniel Kurland Den of Geek Lazarus is one of 2025’s best anime. There’s nothing that it can’t do and it’s the real cure-all miracle drug of this story. Lazarus is some of the most fun that you’ll have with an anime this year. It’s sci-fi/action catnip that’s impossible to resist. Rated: 5/5 Apr 3, 2025 Full Review Mikkel Snyder Black Nerd Problems Lazarus has a solid foundation, a compelling myth arc, clever storytelling, and a cast that needs just a few more dedicated scenes to their own backstory to really sell them. Apr 2, 2025 Full Review Ben Gibbons Screen Rant Lazarus improves on the typical action of an anime show, but beyond that, it's a slow burn to get to the actual meat of the show's premise. Rated: 5/10 Apr 2, 2025 Full Review Debopriyaa Dutta High on Films Although “Lazarus” might need some more time to find its narrative footing and reinvent its thematic clichés, the Adult Swim anime is an exuberantly sleek artistic feat that embodies Watanabe’s strengths as a visual storyteller. Rated: 3.5/5 Apr 1, 2025 Full Review Read all reviews

William S Shinichirō Watanabe delivers what the creators of the live action adaptation of his Cowboy Bebop failed to. A spiritual sequel to his late nineties masterpiece featuring a propulsive jazz heavy score from flying lotus, floating points, and others. Well choreographed action sequences, beautiful artwork, and a high concept sci-fi/action-adventure about a ragtag group banding together and hunting for a man trying to end the world. Rated 5 out of 5 stars 04/07/25 Full Review Read all reviews
