The original anime LAZARUS has been confirmed for an April release, accompanied by the reveal of a new key visual.
The story is set in the near future, where a revolutionary painkiller called "Hapuna" is widely used. However, a shocking truth comes to light—Hapuna, initially hailed as a "miracle drug" with no side effects, leads to death three years after consumption. To uncover the truth and find the creator of the drug, a special team of five elite agents named "Lazarus" is assembled.
The newly released visual shows the members of Lazarus facing a critical 30-day deadline set by the drug's inventor, Skinner. Amid a growing conspiracy, they fight for survival.
The project is helmed by Shinichirō Watanabe as the original creator and director. Akemi Hayashi handles character design, while Takahiro Ozawa from the creative duo Ume is responsible for the screenplay.
The voice cast includes Mamoru Miyano, Makoto Furukawa, Maaya Uchida, Yūma Uchida, Manaka Iwami, Megumi Hayashibara, Akio Ōtsuka, and Kōichi Yamadera. The anime will consist of 13 episodes in total.
