I hope they wrap up the 7 different subplots. Don't think there's that many? There's the brainwashed assassin, "the incident" Douglas mentioned, Axel and Chris romance, Eleina and Popcorn Wizard teamup, people randomly being immune to hapna like Axel and Eleina, competing government agencies, and SKINNER. FUCKING SKINNER.

>4'11" (150 cm)
>uses Linux

Do you LOVE Eleina?

>>280067464
Eleina's one of the best parts of the show, she's cute and good-natured. I actually find myself liking the Lazarus crew, they have good archetypes, but the writing team decided to focus more on pointless exposition and Skinner wanking.

>>280067285 (OP)
Skinner is the only thing that matters.

>>280067752
Yeah, the Lazarus crew grew on me in the end. They're sort of goofy but it's pretty clear that's the point.

>>280067285 (OP)
50 bucks says the assassin and Axel will have a heart-to-heart in his hospital room.

>>280067785
I feel like there aren't enough characters who're mad at him, because they want all the ideological stuff to seem justified. The islander people he helped would realistically be put in concentration camps and interrogated. I mean shit, considering the one person he trusted with his location is always on the move, I'd think Skinner even anticipated it. Anyway, looking forward to them try wrap it all up in 23 min.

>>280067928
Axel and Assassin will have a big dramatic final showdown in which the assassin dies and all of Axel's past is revealed
Meanwhile they'll have found Skinner on the side and the cure will be related to Axel and they will be rushing to try to find him and stop the fight so they can use his DNA to make the cure or whatever

everyone dropped this

W-will we see their deito after the world is saved???

>>280068335
This sounds about right. Wonder if there'll be some commentary about the human condition and how they can tackle other problems if they come together. Some people have felt like they don't show society reacting too much, maybe it's realistic that most people would carry on with their lives because they can't do anything else.

>>280068517
Boy I hope so, definitely one of the finest girls next to Eleina and Leland.

>>280067464
I know japan can only think of girls as womanlets... but why the fuck do they have to make actual fucking midgets all the time
why are they so retarded?

>>280069118
Average female height there is 5"2, so I guess it wouldn't be as cute when the men are 5"7. Besides, she's a growing girl.

>>280067898
Needed more scenes like Axel's failed BBQ or Eleina bedding it with Chris. But Watanabe's most popular stuff involves making the crew frenemies, I'd guess they're fairly professional because there wasn't a budget for conflict lol.

Sex with Hersch.

>this is what Hapna does to a man.

damn...

>>280069479
hell yeah!
I would love if axel actually got her german hag ass some dick

>>280069745
>>280069479
Sorry she's built for big Skinner cock. But I will say, it seems like she has a decent ass under that pantsuit.

>>280069531
This is what happens if you take 10 vitamin gummies

I still can't get over how hapna sounds like a shitty ligma joke.

>>280071238

>>280071298
Exactly, like damn, wonder if it was intentional

I really do think if more people on here watched Lazarus it'd be far more infamous. Kinda like DitF or Valvrave

the safe word is HARDCORE

Is there gonna be a Metallic Rouge/Ninja Kamui type show every other season from now on?

>>280078383
Metallic Rouge wasn't adult_swim co-production

>>280074275
Apparently there's a marathon for the subbed version on Toonami on 7/12

>>280075647
Lazarus has a lot of western schlock in it, people would be sperging (again) and say anime has fallen. It's actually more honest to premiere it dubbed imo.

>>280078383
AS somehow makes enough money from licensing, because they keep releasing these average shows.

>>280078306
kek'd, you did not disappoint

>people watched this past Episode 2
why?

>>280079170
Just because.

>it spent the entire time wishing Keiko to come back alive so the anime isn't this fucking dogshit
kino

honestly i really enjoyed lazarus overall.

they definitely could have fleshed out that final episode into 2-3 full episodes though.

>>280080129
F

that was certainly an ending

>>280080254
I did also, and agree it could’ve used a few more episodes. Still a fun ride though.

>>280080202
God is getting well-written anime in heaven right now
>>280080254
They crammed in waaaaay too much info in the final episode instead of resolving them episode by episode

>>280080254
That said it was the only show that I liked. There's not a lot of spy-thriller shows with hand to hand combat and gun fights like Lazarus, so it gets a 8/10 on that front

>>280080160
>>280080202

>>280080129
3 years too late Watanabe

>>280080254
this. /a/ thinks every anime must be a 2000 episode “classic” like one piece, dragon ball, or naruto.

lazarus told a short but meaningful story, start to finish, in 13 episodes.

>>280080388
That it did, but I feel it could’ve benefited from a few more episodes to develop certain characters and plot elements more.

them genetic mutation bros.... didnt need to be explained

>>280080254
its a definite 7 or 8 out of 10 depending how much deus ex/convenient storytelling bothers you.

last week when doug had that hypercube train set up ahead of time, people were raging about it in the lazarus gamethread. and i get it, yea it was overly convinient…but you gotta have those liberties in a show thats only 13 episodes.

unlike a one piece, there isnt room for 150 episodes of filler about doug and eleina traveling back to babylonia

>>280080282
What happened?

holy shit what a complete fucking waste of time for literally everyone who watched and everyone who made this fucking pretentious garbage

>>280079170
Honestly it's so bad that I actually kinda like it in a way.
>>280079967
Why did the assassin dude bring a rocket launcher to kill Axel did I miss something?

Someone tell me what happened in the end. I dont want to watch this boring crap to find out.

What happened with Axel and Chris?

>>280080444
While it does seem like a convenient twist, it is a cool one that makes the members of Lazarus feel more connected and less random. They all have different skills and interesting pasts, but it was really fate that brought them together in the first place. How poetic!

>>280080600
I like to think they hooked up and had lots of babies after the conclusion of the main story.

>>280080536
>despite having the soldiers on his side, Schneider got caught anyway without a single bullet shot (literally what's the point of those soldiers with guns)
>a new hacker comes in, immediately hacking this secret hundun program that needs to be opened with the approval of both president and secretary of state, but oh wait a minute i'm a fucking hacker with the specialty of making fake approvals
>Soryu comes to kill Axel with a rocket launcher, decides to go full retard and shots some helicopter that crashes into a building and destroys everything, leading to her death. Hundun ends up being this muh heartless assassin making program and Axel's necklace revealed Soryu was killing everyone in the program before his memory got wiped out. oh and btw Axel does all the inhumane parkour while still recovering from a being stabbed with harpoon all the way through.

>>280080254
>>280080285
I actually think they blew their dialogue scenes talking about Skinner and irrelevant plot points, it would've still felt a bit condensed, but there would've been more room to work with the decent characters the Lazarus team had. Like there was a lot of Chris' ex teammates calling her a traitor, didn't need the stuff with both Eleina's mom and her old friend, etc. But above that was the Skinner exposition. Still, decent show.

>>280080600
they have sex (UNPROTECTED) and axel shoot cums inside chris in less than 2 minutes (to save time for season 2)

>>280080643
Did they interact? Say anything?

by the end we don't know who Doug is other than he's a screeching ngubu

Why was doug looking at a image of a skeleton in the credits scene?

are they implying something by this?

>>280080652
He brought the launcher because he suspected that INSCOM or the police would send helicopters once their fight on the tower was noticed. He likely never intended to use it on Axel, thats why he attacked with punches and kicks, and when those failed, his fancy wire weapon.

>>280080679
They kissed in the second to last episode, and she went looking to rescue him once he left the hospital. She’s definitely into him. The real question is whether or not Axel is into her.

>>280080666
bros please ignore this post. its late and i was horny and being childish. its too late to delete now but i regret it.

>>280080760
I’m pretty sure that was him talking to that doctor about his injuries. She was likely telling him he needed to refrain from physical activity, or scolding him for breaking more bones.

>>280080857
Don’t feel bad, its a good post.

Will there be a season 2?

>>280080879
Probably not, but if they made a second season I would definitely watch it.

>>280080838
So nothing happened?

Was Lazarus a hit?

>>280081009
no

>>280080879
its definitely possible. its been a hit for adult swim (avg around 200k viewers, mostly in key demo, at midnight) which means its a hit for CN in general

adult swim is now almost half of CN programming because children dont watch tv anymore. whatever does good theyll want back

>>280081024
sauce?

>>280080879
not a chance unless they do a time skip forward a few years and hint at eleina getting NAKED to draw hype

>>280081049
I never saw much hype for it after the first few episodes. :/

So why did INSCOM force Skinner to make Hapna lethal to begin with?

>>280081143
wasnt that just skinner’s own finding?

>>280081143
I was under the impression he made it lethal on purpose on his own because he predicted that it would only make mankind more decadent and detached from nature and also knew if he just quit the project someone else would finish it

i wish there were more skinner scenes desu bros.

>>280081323
If Lazarus had a higher episode count, there should’ve been at least one Skinner-centric infodump episode to get the audience more familiarized and empathetic to the character’s goals.

Was this show a hit in Japan?

>>280081661
More well received than gwucks at least, but that's not saying much.

Was the real Lazarus the friends we made along the way?

AOTS

>>280071458
You're gonna carry that 0 days left for us

>>280080584
Lazarus was the OH MY MAGIC GENES the crew had all along that gave them drug resistance and they all forgot about dying that day.

The only show I kept up with the past season. I liked it.

>>280080600
they had sex

Literally what was the purpose of that assassin after Axel? What did he have to do with the story?

>>280082753
How very Spike and Julia of them.

>>280079170
I was always allergic to teenagers so I grab everything isn't about them.

Forgive me for what I must do but I'm watching this dubbed because I don't want to wait for the jap audio.

>>280083391
everyone else does

>>280081143
If I understood the show correctly:
>Skinner and his gang are making some medicine
>Military takes their research to make bio weapons
>Skinner gets mad and tries to escape to Europe to reveal it
>INSCOM fucking things up and leading to the death of gorillions at the airport makes Skinner detached from humanity
>Skinner decides to work on Hapna and make it lethal so that everybody in the world will finally start to give a shit

>>280082969
Show that INSCOM wanted Axel (and the only surviving prison experiment doctor) dead + possibly expand on Axel's backstory. Though I don't the show outright states that Axel was a part of the Hundun project; he might as well just have some specific knowledge on some Chinese myth, and have absolutely no connection to the Hundun project (which could be plausible since the Chink assassin killed everyone in his assassin class as well as the Chinese government guy, and Axel also didn't know what the assassin was talking about when he commented on Axel's necklace in episode 12).
The only people in the show to have knowledge on mythology and shit was the black guy and the woman in charge of Lazarus, and they only knew about Biblical shit and not Chinese shit. If Axel has zero connections to the Hundun project, it'd be pretty sloppy of the show to not establish Axel having knowledge of Chinese folklore. If Axel was connected to the Hundun project, then the show barely showed anything other than Axel answering the assassin's question.

In short:
>¯\_(ツ)_/¯ wakarimasen, lol!

>>280067285 (OP)
>brainwashed assassin - check
>"the incident" Douglas mentioned - check
>Axel and Chris romance - not addressed

>and SKINNER. FUCKING SKINNER. - check

That's some FF8 shit right there with all of them being conveniently there lmaoooo

>>280083424
i think axel had that necklace from the friends he mentioned from previous episode, don't think he had anything to do with the project. he just happened to know the hundun myth.

Tranny nigger show. 6/10 at best.

>>280075618

>>280079170
shrimple, i was already sitting here to watch toonami and just let it play

>>280083454
This is why the show is bad. I am okay with everything else but the whole plot progression is nothing but and endless series of lucky coincidence, constructed conveniences and hacking (we have three hackers that get you all access and answers whenever the anime needs it for fuck's sake).

>>280080202

That's the fucking ending?

>>280080652
>a new hacker comes in
wasn't that the guy who felt up lelandko?

>>280083645
I can't get over how stupid it was. We had people literally joking about it and shitposting that Skinner was the hobo.

>we chose our elite squad of 5 people to find skinner because they just happened to survive a chem attack
>this elite assassin plotline just ended with no ties at all to the rest of the story and it was just there
>axel can fight this elite assassin 1:1 because ????
>doug has no unique qualities or backstory still
>the cure is just a single chemical and no one guessed it beforehand
>everyone is happy, they keep the team, president pardons everyone

it was an ending

>>280080129
The last montage with the song was great. It's a shame that this series has a bunch of scenes that are genuinely good by their own means but that the overall plot and development is such a shit. I even like the animation, backgrounds, music and designs, but plot is so stupid it feels like it was written by a 14 year old. Keiko and the animators deserved better.

>>280067285 (OP)
Occupied 20 minutes every week. Didn't have any real high points but it was enjoyable slop. Gonna miss it just a bit.

>>280083937
Yeah. It was comfy and I'm gonna miss the characters. Hope some small fandom crops up in the future for art and fiction. And maybe some merch. Enjoyed Mamoru Miyano in a low-key role versus his very loud one in the Dinner-time Detective.

>>280083719
i think pardons and cures are a cool way of doing Christian symbolism without it feeling preachy

>get the john wick choreographer to do the fight scenes, fight scenes last less than a minute

>fleshes out every character yet still feels like they barely touched upon them while just forgetting about doug
>some literally who calls up a assassin with multiple personalities to kill axel for some reason
>final fight between axel and the assassin ends in the most anti-climatic way possible and had no bearings on the plot whatsoever
>finally find skinner and it turns out he was the fucking hobo in episode 2 so previous attempts were completely pointless
>they all meet skinner, get the cure instantly AND somehow produce a cure despite having less than a day to do so
>and they all lived happily ever after... the end...

There is probably no anime with a more childish script than Lazarus.

if you have really low standards, sure

The only thing we needed was a bit more background on Eleina-cute and Doug.

We have no fucking idea who Doug is but he somehow has the connection to take Hypertrain before it's launched

>>280087161
how does eleina remain small and thin when she only eats slop?

>>280087262
all we know is he was based on this guy https://x.com/NikDraperIvey because watanabe likes him and his art

I do feel like the writing is bad on purpose

the best thing you can say about Lazarus is that it wasn't good or bad

>>280087584
the best thing you can say about Lazarus is that Eleina is cute!!!

>>280085844
It's definitely in contention

>>280086163
Ave Mujica was good. Wonder Egg was good if you just ignore the ending.

>>280086359
The only person mentioned that was actually there prior to Episode 12 was Wayland.

This was terrible, wtf were they thinking?
The action choreography when they go full Stahelski was the only outstanding aspect. Everything else aside from the music was abysmal.
His presence will be missed but Watanabe needs to hang up the mantle. He was hard carried back then.

>>280089157
it is terrible, people who still like it at least don't pretend the story is anything but trashbag.

The hobo being Skinner will never not be funny.

>>280086163
Lol what? Even if you think AveMujica was shit or great or whatever, it has nothing to do with what that anon said. As for WEP, I don't remember much of it aside from a few things, but I doubt it comes close to this.

>>280079848
Insane how this conflict ended with no shots fired. This is why this show is so boring. Everyone is just talking things out. Why even tell this story as an anime?

ENCHAD

Wish we didn't have that bizarre assassin and hundun plot. Still don't know how that tied with Axel. I loved the vibes of this almost post-apocalyptic future but I really wish it were 24 episodes or even 16 episodes. A backstory movie, light novel or manga would be really nice. Or a few 0.5 specials that can be watched in the middle of certain episodes.

Popcorn Wizard smothering Elaina with her thighs.

Ironcially this had better ending than G-Cuck show. But both turned out to be shit.
So many forced plots in without any poit or reason to be in, so much wasted potential, the writing is just horribly wrong.
Last show of Watanabe I watched, he doesn't deserve another chance.
Especially with that retarded LGBT stuff forced in like Chris being into girls and then suddenly dropping the plot on that for no real reason next episode and also that TS guy, fuck..

>>280092018
agreed. the hundun assassin could have just been an INSCOM assassin. no over the top backstory needed. wouldve saved at least 10 minutes of showtime for anything else.

>>280079967
He really didn't need to be added.

>>280071458
fuck (You)

Someone is getting laid tonight.

>>280092043
>Popcorn Wizard smothering Elaina with her thighs.
not so fast

>>280080254
Yeah, it's way overhated by shitposters. The main problem is that the writing is really bad in some spots. The 30 day hard limit was too little and I have no idea why they decided to start all this US government infighting right at the end

I audibly laughed when it was revealed that they were all at the airport. It's a perfect example of how some parts of the writing are total bullshit. I have no idea how a writer could ever approve that

>>280083719
Doug didn't even get an episode to flesh his story out.
>>280086359
Did none of Team Lazarus even bother mentioning that to each other?

>>280083719
>>280093783
Unironically, what does Doug even do? Axel is your cynical criminal who's good at fighting, Eleina is a hacker, Leland has money and is good with drones, Chris is a Russian supersoldier. What did Doug bring to the team?

LMAO FUCK OFF

>>280080584
>>>/wsg/5911621

Main cast had zero fucking chemistry. I thought that was one of Watanabe's strengths like the Bebop crew or the Samurai Champloo trio. The closest thing to chemistry is the blonde suddenly falling for the main guy, but not only did that come out of nowhere it's not even followed up on at all. Did AI write this script?

Still not watching Lazarus finale today!

>>280090377
It’s shit writing because the conflict would evaporate if the characters spoke about what they saw. If Doug said “I saw a guy who looked like skinner” they would check again and find him. There was no good reason for Doug to not mention the guy when he already had suspicions.
It’s like an Isekai party member having the ability to send the MC home and just neglecting to mention it for no reason, even though getting the MC home is the point of the show. Bad writing doesn’t just mean silly or childish.

>>280083850
I agree, I think it's the definition of painfully average. Although with the backgrounds in some scenes, they kinda felt too contrasted to the characters.

>>280092018
The hundun stuff felt like a writer wanted to do another show, so he decided to shove it into Lazarus while he had the chance lol. Like it was cool, but genuinely irrelevant, would've been the "Mad Pierrot" episode if this show got the classic episode length shows used to. Even then, I think the writing team wasted the time they had.

So what's the moral of the story?

This will 100% win the anime awards by the way.

>>280071458
Better safe than sorry.

>>280095504
>Like it was cool, but genuinely irrelevant,
I thought the flashbacks looked really cool. I liked the artistry of it. But I also wondered what the hell it had to do with Skinner

What was that last "western" anime that was even decent at best? They all seem to follow the same pattern of starting off with a great first ep and then just fizzling into garbage by the end.

>>280079967
could be still alive next season

>>280096209
The worst about this is that retards will pretend people only hate the show because of the troon or whatever when there are far more pressing issues surrounding it

>>280096209
don't know if anybody on /a/ even remembers it since it came out in the mid 2000s but IGPX was a solid show. was the start of my brown tomboy fetish too.

>>280087102
why is she still pointing a gun at him here when they confirmed he was just a patsy and the military made the drug lethal? isn’t Skinner just a whistleblower at this point?
the show wants to have its cake and eat it too with skinner being the bad guy but also someone who was taken advantage of by the powers that be.
was anyone else mostly into in the show because the concept of a top scientist turning rogue against humanity was interesting?

>tfw Skinner is one year older than me

>>280080564
They needed it to shoot down the helicopter in the script. The assassin himself had no reason to bring it as we saw that he had no interest in using it against Axel.

>>280080600
He fucked his new lesbo gf and made a baseball team.

Pretty much. I won't watch it a second time and watching it every week has felt more obligational to see the ending than anything else.

>>280090377
Probably because /a/ isn't a hive mind and those are two entirely different groups of people.

>>280080685
He's a seasoned badass who was a completely normal person before he went to prison for 2 months and learned how to kill. He also has prosopagnosia and his college professor was right about everything.

the show is a literal train wreck of how not run a series kek.

I enjoyed Lazarus

>the assassin was pointless beyond action and no one cared about his death
>the chemical weapon stuff was introduced really late even though we had multiple episodes of nothing happening and the guy behind it going to jail wasn't satisfying at all
>Axel being involved in a chemical trial in prison was a red herring and meant nothing
>Skinner, the main antagonist, gets his entire character wrapped up in one minute and the entire ending is a total anti-climax
>they didn't bother to actually connect the idea of avoiding pain to anything after the first few episodes and Skinner had no opinions on it even though he talked about it in the first episode
>those people who were immune to pain and never used hapna because of it were just around Skinner coincidentally and had no larger purpose
Really really bad writing. They must have ran out of time.

There was hardly anything to emotionally attach to with this show, which is surprising because Watanabe is usually good with characters so I'm actually starting to wonder if Keiko Nobumoto cancelled out a lot of his worse impulses.

I read an interview recently with Watanabe where he said that Nobumoto insisted on having Punch from Big Shot show up at the airport to pick his mother up after his show got cancelled. She's worried about him and he reassures her he'll be fine and that he can take care of her because he'll get another job soon. That's honestly one of my favorite small scenes in Bebop and it's funny that Watanabe didn't even want it to be there and only relented when she wrote the scene after pitching it. Makes me wonder what things she could have saved if she had been around for Lazarus.

>>280095574
Skinner is a Jesus parallel who died for the sins of humanity, (US) military industrial complex bad

Only good part about this show is the opening theme.

Never trusting watanabe again

>>280097540
I can't believe that THIS is the frame they chose to end on. It's ugly

>>280097711
You're supposed to self-insert as Axel.

>>280097540
So do you think he BANG'd Chris?

>>280071458
.

after the airport flashback, I thought that Hapna would just cause the Lazarus effect, and people would begin to appreciate their lives more after resurrection, but no, it was really just deadly..

>>280097778
Most likely yeah.

Christine prefers women.

Her "kiss" with Axel was purely platonic—she was happy he was alive, not sexually attracted to him.

>O MY MUTATED DNA
>O MY ALL THERE AT THE SAME TIME DESPITE NEVER MENTIONING IT FOR THE 12 EPISODES PRIOR
LMAOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
STOP
I CANT BREATHE

>>280098187
I mean, they could still have sex as some sort of competition.

>>280098211
there wasn't really a need to mention it until Eleina realized she was immune.

if anything it was better if they all thought they were about to die that way they'd work harder to find skinner.

>>280097062
>meant nothing
The fact that the 5 of them were at the chem attack and became immune to it, means the 5 of them are immune to hapna, since they use the same base. It's why he didn't die in the prison trials.

last song was too good for this abomination

>>280067285 (OP)
will we get a 2nd season?

>>280098349
Yes. But it's 12 episodes of these two.

Lazarus is fire.

>>280098187
>Chris was supposedly in love with Inga
>after Chris realized she survived certain death she never risked going back for Inga
>after Inga died she never thought about her or mentioned her again in the series
Truly a love for the ages.

>>280098349
Yes. But it's 12 episodes of these two making an incest baby.

>>280098654
there is no sibling relationship like this on the planet that isn't sexual

even doug and axel are like wtf is going on here..

The absolutely worst part of this show that no one mentions because everything else is just so bad are the multiple red herrings thrown around that are completely forgotten a minute after they are mentionned.
I remember vividly a passage about doug talking to Axel that he thinks Elaina's is hiding something from them and might be at the head of the operation, never expanded upon.
The relationship between blonde twink and blonde nee-san is also really ambigueous early on accentuated by the fact they casted the Uchida siblings to do their voices. At the start she's taking the piss of him not wanting to go to school, they are never shown to be this close ever again.
Assassin guy having a split personality isn't developped further than well he has a split personality. Funnily enough, the steak eater side of him disappear right before they reveal he was a schizo, from that point we only see the assassin version, we have no idea what even made him a schizo in the first place.
What I found the most retarded is all the shenanigans the characters have done that were supposed to relate to Skinner in way or another aren't brought up back at all, like the philantrope buying of all the sinking islands, Skinner just dies in 2 minutes.

I'm sure the writing crew were convinced the audience would get Skinner's motivation from the whole show so they didn't went the route of giving him a climatic dialogue explaining himself but what they didn't realized is what the entire cast did the whole story was doing conjectures of Skinner's true motive and because the end reveal that they are all pure fucking retards who never mentionned the fact they were all together during the airport incident involving skinner and also that Doug is a blind mf who couldn't recognize the guy from a meter away. None of the audience would take the main cast hypothesis about Skinner seriously, this old turkish fart was just an ecolo-cuck.

>>280098362
It will be about Leland becoming a crossdressing prostitute.

>>280098738
...exclusively for his sister

>>280098720
>>280098654
If you Leland would you fuck your sister in your dead parent's mansion?

Yeah, I thought not.

>>280098807
>If you Leland would you fuck your sister in your dead parent's mansion?

Why not? This for the family!

>>280098807
yes

>>280098796
>only 2 years older than him

god damn that's hot. it's a shame he's going to marry eleina instead.

Why did they want Axel dead again?

>>280071458
RAY DAWN!!!!

>>280098893
Axel was proof that people could survive Hapna.

But Schneider didn't know all the other members of Lazarus were survivors form the airport, either. So his whole plot was dumb.

>>280098893
Axel is living proof that the bioweapons experiments took place since he survived the trials

>he lost
How?

>>280099048
WHAT HAPPENED TO HUNDUN, ANON?????

>>280099048
Much like Moonrise this show is only good for action choreography, and even then some of it sucks.

>>280099103
Why didn't he just Google it?

>>280099105
Moonrise was good.

>>280099048
Because Axel is brown and brown people have superpowers

>>280098187
You sound like one of those butthurt trannies from reddit.

>>280067285 (OP)
This entire anime was a waste of time holy shit. The ending was so bland

>>280099105
This. Elevator fight choreography was gay and reminded me of the primal tv show frame rate but all the other fight scenes were pretty solid

>>280099198
There were far worse shows this season.

They said the blonde girl went through facial construction surgery to change her identity right? Does that mean she looks bogged the fuck out?

>>280098796
>dressing up as a girl to fuck your sister
Extremely erotic

>>280098315
True it did actually tell us that, my mistake. One point back to Lazarus.

>>280071458

>>280099296
Yeah, that's why Axel ran away at the end and never tapped that.

5/10 anime seen worse but seen better as well

Kept the overall tone and steam of the series going, but sadly that tone and steam was all around mediocre, nothing more, nothing less

SEX WITH LELAND!!!!!

>>280098807
Open door is a metaphor for an open pussy, her womb is open to take her brother seed if you know what I mean.

I felt potential in every episode, there was like a million droplets of potential scattered all over the whole show, and then... they just fucking stayed like that, not a single one fully exploited, literally every chance to make something engaging wasted. I can't say I disliked Lazarus but holy shit there's endless ways this could have been so much better.

>>280098807
>>280100914
Doujins never

>>280080838
Axel is latino and Chris is a blonde white woman. Of course Axel is into her

>>280093861
Diversity hire

>>280101314
doug was cool though

>>280101066
Lazarus is prime doujin material, there's something for everyone here.

>>280101327
Doug was indeed COOL.

Lazarus had some pretty hot girls.

>>280093861
DeMarco asking for diversity asides, I think Doug was supposed to be the serious no-nonsense guy contrasting with Axel's relaxed personality. The straight man of the team. Axel's Jet Black or Jigen Daisuke. Probably didn't work for Americans being oversensitive over black characters so they aren't allowed to have flaws

>>280093861
Doug is supposed to be the character that says overly vague shit like "it's begun" or "the curtain is about to fall"

>>280101358
>>280101395
everyone really wanted to fuck Leland huh

>>280101395
I still don't get why he had to crossdress here.

>>280095574
The world is screwed up but there are some redeeming qualities. Axel said it looking at the screen for making it clear

>>280101464
Why not?

>>280099638
ponkotsu it's already there!

>>280101464
because it was hot (to watanabe)

>>280099167
Soryu is a chink. He's not white

>>280101548
on the subject of this, i really don't think he was supposed to be the same person as the assassin and they kinda just had to merge them into one character due to time constraints or something

>>280101464
Because men think another guy being forcefully emasculated is peak comedy and gives them a reassuring feeling of masculine superiority over the victim

>>280098807
I'd have already, honestly.

>>280101576
He had multiple personality to show how insane he was

>>280101630
>another guy being forcefully emasculated is peak comedy
Y-yeah, comedy

>You wanted to what???

>>280101464
Do you really need a reason?

>>280101690

What the fuck is wrong with Watanabe

>>280102473

GQuuuuX was so bad it singularly convinced me the metaphysical idea exists, is real, and I've lived to witness it manifest in front of my own eyes.

>>280102504
He has grown old and retarded

>>280102473
Butthurt yurifags

>>280102190
Agreed. Lazarus wasn't nearly as bad as lots of stuff. People are extra harsh on it because of the name attached, which is fair.

>>280102249

>>280102642
To be fair it was too ambitious and didn't deliver accordingly, but I guess it was entertaining enough

>>280096209
What are we counting as western? I liked Super Crooks, if that counts.

>>280099880
It was only okay. I've heard some of the same VAs do better jobs in better shows.

Idiot

>>280071458

>>280090377
Isekaitards are all dumb spics and their opinions are irrelevant. Each season I go out of my way of filter all the isekai general threads.

What went wrong?

>>280102947
Needed 12 more episodes. Needed more about Doug and Eleina. Needed more crossdressing Leland.

>>280071458
TND!

>>280102947
Doug should have won his nobel prize

I don't care if there's no porn, no one can stop me from masturbating to Leland.

>>280103256
he's a boy who is currently being forced to live alone with this sister in a giant mansion

>>280102947
should've ended at episode 2 or 3 when doug found skinner the first time.

>>280102947
More episodes or less subplots. Since "more episodes" is out of the hands of the writers, here's what I would've done. I'll try to preserve the overall message/story of the anime as best as I can
First, no 30 day limit. Make the deadline something vague like "a few months". This removes the need to have every episode feel like it should be 100% about Skinner, since there's no ticking clock. Second, almost fully gut the US inter-agency nonsense. I get that it has to be there so that Skinner is a good boy who dindu nuffin, but it's a huge waste of time. I like the idea of making the assassin some gov't drone and gutting that plotline. With all this time saved, spend it on making the members of Lazarus feel real and feel like they're actually getting along. Since we don't have to get closer to Skinner every episode, we can spend a few purely on the characters. Also, fully gut everyone being at the airport at the same time. What was even the relevance of that, again? I get that it let Elaina overcome her Hapna symptoms, but given that they found Skinner and the cure the next day, what did it matter?
So, the overall structure would be as follows. Episode 1 is mostly the same, after that, we get a bunch of character development from episodes 2-8. Starting in 9, the cast starts to close in on Skinner and here we get hints of the whole "the government is evil" portion.

The worst script of the decade.

>>280103346
But enough about GQuuuuX.

it's still unbelievable that ONE scientist could've hoodwinked everyone and slipped a toxin into an ssri without anybody else noticing before it reached the mass production stage


no it's not the same as the mrna vaccines for covid

>>280103498
>ONE scientist could've hoodwinked everyone and slipped a toxin

Good thing that's not what happened, speedwatcher.

>>280103563
yes it is

>>280103498
It's more unbelievable that the president of the United States would decide and be allowed to take an experimental drug rather than literally any other pain killer to get the same effect.

someone just told me that they don't think lazarus was rushed and that it was perfectly realistic for the events to play out as they did

he rated it a 9/10

>>280071458
Femboy Leland was the only good thing about this shitshow

>>280103820
Not true, there's also Elaina!

>>280103837

>>280071458
hapna deez ligma nuts haha gotem

Wantanabe still has some of the visual talent he used to have, and he's still a lightning rod for people to come work with him who are similarly talented.
But the guy needs to go make films instead of tv shows. In film you can get away with a lot leaner narrative. Guy can't even manage a single cour show.

>>280103917
she never leaves her computer

>>280101464
>>280101717
He didn't do anything else so its the whole reason his useless character exists. He's there to be humiliated, dominated, and sidelined so the other characters can appear better than him. Which is hot but very boring
>>280103820
regular Leland was cute too
>we'll never get doujins of his twink ass getting raped by the hacker or of Doug having to fuck him while he crossdresses to keep them from blowing cover, or him being used as sexual relief by the AI hippie cult because the show was utter shit
it's a real shame

So who was phone?

>>280104261
This is like the perfect soul vs soulless image

>>280071458

Wait a minute so what the fuck was the point of the hundun shit anyway?

>>280097174
Yeah it will genuinely be interesting to see what next series Watanabe produces. If it's like Lazarus again it's confirmation enough for me that most of the good scenes and ideas were Keiko's, not his.

>>280102115
To be honest I only ended up liking Hero X and Kowloon by the end of the season. Both were surprises I didn't expect to be into which is funny because the anime I was looking forward the most turned out to be shit.

>>280104403
Ask yourself what happened to Hundun after they bore holes in its face and you'll have your answer, speedwatcher.

>>280102947
No cute ojisan terrorists.

>>280102947
Conveniences, hacking and lucky coincidences that are all which moves the plot foward. The whole story feels constructed as fuck, nothing develops naturally.

"Maybe you fuckers will finally stop asking for more Bebop."
- Watanabe, probably

>>280071458

d-did he want to dress like this?

>>280071458

there was no point. It was an excuse to get a big fight. And obviously axel was one of them or some shit, but that doesn't matter at all.

Lazarus isn't as bad as let's say, the average isekaislop created by the hundredth with lackluster production airing each seasons, but as you said yes it is suffering from the huge production and names attached to it.
In a vacuum everyone would agree the biggest issue is the script and dialogues, plot in itself works, charadesigns are decent, background art is sublime, animation quality range from average to interesting, it's an action show and most of its fights I found uncompelling but I cannot deny they had good choreography, pacing and visual ideas.
The script and dialogue are just so bad and Watanabe is so far in his own ass with the constant self referencing that for me Lazarus is a way more annoying as a concept than any random isekaislop.
If you like Champloo and Bebop (I do), it's even more unbearable, I've just witnessed one of the great names of the industry shit on his own legacy like never before. Zankyou had issues but it was never self plagiarizing and never has dumb as Lazarus, Carole&Tuesday was painfully boring but at least it was coherent within his career and deep love of western music.
When I look at Kon's profile on MAL I'm like, "damn perfect blue, paprika, paranoia agent, millenium actress, memories, what a flawless fucking career a tragic passing". When we'll look at Watanabe's page after his passing we'll scroll up pure fucking kino like Dandy and notice "oh yeah he made Lazarus, that was terrible".

The water episode (8 I think) was possibly the best single episode of the season.

>>280105317
i liked the one with the club too

>>280105339
You just want to fuck Leland

>>280071458
NOOOOO

>>280105367
my genes just mutated and now i'm immune to your stupid posts

It was an entertaining anime, but with too many defects and plotholes to make it relevant beyong this seasons, maybe it will be a dweller in the "wasted portential" threads.
Like the part on which those 5 survived the attack that "MODIFIED THEIR GENES" jesus fuck I had a good chuckle.
yeah, too many loose things, stupid subplots that gets us nowhere, like the assassin's, episodes wasted on "origin stories" that contribute almost nothjing to the series.
Dunno, It reeks of ye olde "too maky cooks on the kitchen" syndrome. Loads of writers and producers wanting to insert their "cool idea bro" for them just to make a mess.
In the end, it was not as stupid as the haters wanted it to be, but not as relevenat (by a long shot) as watanabe or the producers would like it to be. I really think that, unless he needs the money, watanabe should just stop to whoring his own name just to stay relevant.

>>280105367
Guilty as charged

>>280081072
any art of her?

>>280105432
Joking aside, yeah the club episode was good. I remember it's the reason I didn't drop Lazarus. Honestly, this anime had a pretty bad start and end, but the middle was really good at times

>>280105317
And then the russians immediately ruined it with the worst ep

Disappointed by the ending. Too many loose ends. "Mutated genes". But I liked each episode on its own. Hacker girl needs to be mating pressed by me until we've had 20 plus kids.

>>280105432

What the fuck are you talking about, it's been subbed since Day 1.

Watanabe wants to tell us that the ukraine/us biolabs were real and to watch Bring Me the Head of Alfredo Garcia

>>280071458
I guess I have no other choice.

>>280102642
I'm hard on it because there was clearly a lot of money sunk into it. Yeah, the moe isekai slop I watched was objectively worse in almost every way, but it had a definite goal and hit that mark.
This is probably technically the best anime of the season, but it still had a lot more aimless bullshit than I would expect from a production of this scale.

>>280102642
>People are extra harsh on it because of the name attached, which is fair.
Yeah nobody has ever heard of that Anno guy behind GKEKS.

Both shows were bad, but at least Lazarus had some style to it.

>>280101576
No he definitely was the same guy. Tons of anons guessed that the moment he was introduced

>>280099880
I was astonished how seemingly bored the voice actors were in every scene

Is it implied that the scientists couldn’t figure out how to replicate the mutation for a cure?

>>280105317
>I only watched 3 shows this season

>>280105562
anon….shes a child….

>>280079170
best this season can offer catalogued as seinen

>>280102947
Too much meandering and sideplots for a 30 day countdown to the world's destruction. Either reduce the sideplots, or increase the countdown.

Plot itself was really weird largely because of that. I just could not take any of these damn sideplots seriously knowing there's a ticking clock.

Barefoot and pregnant Eleina

okay bourrasque

brother

>>280103346
really noggin the joggin if he pre-recorded the videos when he still had his sight and if so how does he have the capacity to launch them to every screen in the world (?) when he's already in a homeless camp.

>>280106703
Anno didn't direct it.

>>280071458
oh my science

>>280079938
Not clicking that but I assume it's the
>GUY WHO HAS NO DYSPHORIA AND IS TURNED AGAINST HIS WILL WHILE HIDING HIS TIT MUTATION
from Cowboy Bebop.

>>280106169
It should be me. Why can't I have a rich sister who turns away almost suitors and only wants to spend time with me.

>>280106703
Tsurumaki is slop. See his retarded comments on what Evangelion is about or his work on FLCL. Everyone knows what it means when Anno is not the main guy - see Shin Evangelion. Ergo Anno is spared. He deserves more shit for his manchild obsession with toku.

>>280102947
The US army tying up loose ends at the end of the world was dumb as bricks. The chink should have been a rival with his own motivation

EWWWWWWWW!

Yaiba basically saved this season for me. Even Kusuriya wasn't terribly good

>>280107628
>the one decent show is the one i dropped
tragic

>>280105102
that's just part of the entertainment of /a/

>>280102115
shiunjike was peak comfy

Remember when Watanabe said this took place in the same world as Cowboy Bebop?

Would have been pretty kino if the Gate Incident occurred at the end of Lazarus and killed billions of people anyway.

>>280103563
>speedwatcher
Are you a real anime fan if you don't watch your shit at 10x speed? I bet you couldn't even stomach 5x

>>280103794
Tell him to cosplay as crossdressing Leland, as a joke

I wish everyone died at the end. It was just chaos, humanity in their final gasp for air crashing around for years before nature took over their cities.

This is probably the last Lazarus thread for a few years until some idiot makes a “was it really that bad?” thread. Goodbye. You were awful and an aggressive waste of everyone’s time. I hope Watanabe San is ashamed.

I was expecting the ending to be lame, but this is something else. Putting aside the complete joke that they found Skinner in the beginning of the show and just didn't recognize him, when they finally find him again he just...gives them the vaccine like he said he would. And dies. And everyone is saved. Roll credits. It's the most anticlimactic ending you could possibly imagine. They didn't even try to do anything at all to make the ending interesting. This show's writing has such a bizarre dichotomy in how they tease and then forget about a dozen different subplots but then put absolutely no effort into making the main plot even the slightest bit interesting. I honestly can't figure out what they were thinking. I swear this shit must have been written by AI.

The Astor lineage must continue

>>280071458

>>280071458
Unbelievable

If the secret is just some chemical compound Skinner just drew, why didn't he just upload the thing anynomously through the internet.

The series had a few cute girls so it wasn't a total failure, especially leland.

Doujins about Leland's sister forcing him to cross dress.

>>280104894
Why couldn’t Leland get any shirtless scenes instead? Even Axel got one

What did Axel think he was going to do against an assassin when he was already hurt?
It was incredibly hot though.

Pretty good, 4/5. Never felt the need to fast forward. I really liked the chill ocean exploration episode and the music in that one.

>>280107526
Anno by faaar.
Watanabe just ruined his legacy in the last decade or so but put the spotlight on yoko kanno and nujabes for us to get the best anime sountracks of all time, also space dandy was pure kino and could have been the best sendoff possible if he stopped there.

Anno is a fucking hack who's been riding the wave of one single show for the last 30 years. A show which was born from his own dissatisfaction of the anime industry during the 90s when it became otaku-centered and anime started being made by otakus for otakus despite him being THE central figure of this change by co-founding Gainax, the first otaku studio that made otaku no video a couple of years before EVA.
His seething has brought him to remake his own franchise to fit his current life by shoving as much garbage that he could going in complete opposite to the original vision he had by basically mocking his past self.
Shin Godzilla is still the best godzilla movie ever I cannot deny but what Anno brought to anime, especially the endless waifuwar faggotry this website have been doing for the last 30 years, is worse than anything watanabe ever did.

Sex with Leland

>>280109584
Because you can't show girl boobs on TV

>>280095504
The Hundun shit felt more like something that was planned to have a bigger role in the show, but was cut down due to time constraints -- maybe there were supposed to be more episodes; and instead of scrapping the plotline entirely, they just shoved in what they could.

>>280110005
>reflexively puts his arms behind his back and leans his chest forwards
I need him to get inseminated NOW

k so i just finished it and i give it a 6/10
it was watchable because the animation was nice
but the story had a lot of holes in it. it definitely doesn’t make any sense from a pharmacological or logistics standpoint. the character development was underwhelming. the globohomo influence was annoying. they paired the cute hacker with the nogger in the end and turned the white boy into a tranny. overall was a try hard midwit show but at least it was pretty. sad legacy for the screenwriter bitch who died.

>>280071458
Well played, anonymous

>>280094176
bruh I thought it was just a bad translation

>280071458
good

>>280080054
Wait, what. So the hobo really was skinner?
Godammit

>>280101938
Kino

>>280102947
the same answer nearly every made for adult swim anime has had the last few years, it's not focused enough.

>>280079967
Why did he have to die half naked? What an odd choice

You guys just got Demarco'd

>>280109911
The people that denounced the current state of the anime industry were usually involved on waifu faggotry. Miyazaki started moe with his heroines like Clarisse from Cagliostro. Mamoru Oshii directed Urusei Yatsura and released the first waifu, Lum, to the world. Even Takahata was involved with the birth of SOL with shows like Heidi and Anne of the Green Gables.

If I had a nickel for 2025 spring shows headed by seasoned and acclaimed industry figures which both spend their first halves on meandering aimless character setup before speedrunning their second halves on their actual plots to disappointing results, I would have two nickels. Which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice.

SEX with eleina

>>280080026
He’s back

>>280094176
OH MY DNA

>>280104282
lmao, truth.

>>280081024
IGN was right?
Mid?

>>280096187
He

>>280096468
>was anyone else mostly into in the show because the concept of a top scientist turning rogue against humanity was interesting?

sort of but I could already tell halfway that they did the concept waaaaaay better in Blue Sub No.6

I don't want these threads to end. They've actually been pretty cozy

UAAAHHHH ELEINA SEX UAAAAAAAAAHHHHH

So that was Hillary Clinton as POTUS, yeah?

>>280096468
No, circus spike pulled me in. Then the black doctor dude, then the femboy and after that, Eleina and Russian hag. Now I just want to hold eleina down.

>>280097540
Yeah the ending frame could have been better.

>>280111022
Probably Jason DeMarco demanded a female president. I'm more surprised it wasn't based on Kamala

>>280105130
>no Doug and Axel softly bullying Leland into getting spitroasted

For the end of the world nobody trued having sex with each other. But not eleina, she's taken by me already.

>>280071458
.

I DON'T WANT IT TO END

>>280112007
it's over anon, pack it up. This is the last thread. I'm taking that girl home with me though.

someone make a new gamethread

>>280105479
I guess not

Honestly surprised no one posted any shots of Chris' feet from that one episode.

>>280112505
these?

>>280112533
>>280112505

>>280112533

Yep. Not even a foot guy, but those are drawn pretty well for anime.
