One of the most eagerly awaited anime titles is finally ready to make its debut. Adult Swim/Toonami’s Lazarus is the latest series from Shinichirō Watanabe. It’s easy to get caught up in comparing this new series to the classic anime series Cowboy Bebop or any of Shinichirō Watanabe’s other works because of the high bar set. So to put it plain and simple from the start, Lazarus stands strong on its own, delivering impressive animation, a solid story, and some stellar voice work. 

The series takes place in a not too distant future where a genius neuroscientist, Dr. Skinner, creates a pain medicine which essentially cures all pain worldwide. What the world didn’t know was that the miracle cure had a hidden side effect, where users will all die in three years. We pick up at this moment where the world is alerted to the shocking news. The twist? If anyone can find him within 30 days, he will give the cure. If not, humanity and the world as we know it will essentially come to an end. 

Off the bat, the first thing that stands out in the series is the way movement is portrayed. The cinematography, the direction, the animation, all work in tandem to bring so much life into the series. Details of background scenes are given great attention. You get a real cinematic feeling at times. 

The first episode really feels like a flex, showing off its animation, action, and story at once. Not to say the rest of the five episodes aren’t as strong, but the setting of the first episode really let the entire creative team show off. If I have to nitpick, there are a couple tiny moments where the animation looks off, usually in zoomed out, big picture moments where character details aren’t as important. When they do show up, they’re limited to only a few seconds. The surrounding scenes still remain incredibly animated, and it often gets right back into its normal style and look. The situation is in no way similar to a recent adult swim series. 

I enjoy the way we find ourselves in different settings. It helps to build out this world and it finds our crew in different kinds of scenarios. We find them taking in personal moments, and others while on the job. Every city scene is full of so much life, complexity, and feels huge. The main story is also peppered with moments from the rest of the world and they come to terms and deal with the shocking news in different ways which I found to be unexpected. 

Reminding us of when the story is taking place, the use of futuristic technology and images help create a really believable world. It is somehow just like our world, but with added intrigue. From cars to drones, they seem like a real possible future for our own world.

Character designs are full of life and fit each character. I enjoyed the way we slowly learn about each character through their actions, conversations and way they carry themselves. Each of the team members are more complex than they seem. They often have monologues or long inner thought moments, providing details about their past, intentions and more. They project their intentions through their spoken words. 

The team assembled is full of all different personalities, and the reasoning for their assembly is clever as well. Axel lives for the thrill of it all. Some may say he’s out of his mind and he’s not one to stay still. Jack Stansbury does an incredible job showing his often carefree bliss in the thick of it. From the smooth talking to the subtle chuckles during big action scenes, Jack really rounds out the entire character. Doug is calm and collected on the surface, but you can tell he’s got a lot going on in his brain. Everything he does is to the point and intentional. Jovan Jackson does a great job selling his whole demeanor. Chris can be a wildcard. She’s a chameleon, easily adapting to any situation she finds herself in. Luci Christian crafts a sense of intrigue in how she voices the character. Leland at first appears to be young and doe eyed, but Bryson Baugus balances his upbeat demeanor with his ability to think on the fly and get down to business. Jade Kelly’s Hersch is to the point, but still not completely trustworthy. She does wonders walking that line. Elaina might be used the least often in the first four episodes but Annie Wild has a lot of fun with her in episode five. She manages to bring both timidness and confidence all at the same time. The way her voice doesn’t often fluctuate or show all too much emotion conveys her character well. All around, the voice acting is so well done, believably bringing their respective roles to life. The English dubbed episodes were provided for review so I can only speak to their performances.

For an even fuller experience, some jazzy musical cues are peppered throughout, making it feel upbeat and nostalgic. While other times there are high pulsing electronic beats, helping build to action sequences. The music works hand in hand with the animation and story being told.

Of the five episodes provided, I really love all of the character work in episode 3. It was a quieter episode at times, but just as important. Episodes 1 and 4 show off so much of the show’s confidence. Episode 4 has a story which was made just for me, from the setting, to the music to the story. A fun character which I hope we get to see more of appears in episode 5. There’s this one moment in that episode which took me out momentarily when a sort of “product placement”/direct mention of a product we use today is used as a plot point. Besides that, I thoroughly enjoyed each of the five episodes. 

There is a great feeling of mystery flowing from episode to episode, as the team figures out new pieces to the objective of finding Dr. Skinner, and in doing so, the cure. Often, what they think they’ll uncover ends up going in a different direction, keeping the viewer on their toes as well. While there is an ultimate goal, episodes don’t always feel like their sole purpose is to get to that result. They stand on their own effortlessly. 

Timely, fresh and captivating, Lazarus offers a great sense of humor which balances out the heavier notion of the plot, along with the multiple action sequences. The series seems on course to deliver a really solid and impressive ride. Episodes get stronger and even more confident as the series goes on. I can only imagine where the story will take us, and I’m sure we’ll be in for even more surprises along the way!

Lazarus premieres April 5 on adult swim’s Toonami block at midnight. Episodes will stream next day on Max. 

The post adult swim’s ‘Lazarus’ Review appeared first on TV Source Magazine. TV Source Magazine - TV News, Spoilers, Recaps, Interviews

First off, I was interested in watching these three series, but didn’t have the time yet to check them out.

I Have a Crush at Work

I don’t think any streamers picked up this office romance series, which is pretty surprising. I thought the genre was relatively popular. I haven’t really watched an office romance anime since The Ice Guy and His Cool Female Colleague and was hoping to watch this one, but it wasn’t meant to be!

The Apothecary Diaries Season 2 (Crunchyroll)

I never watched the first season, but as this season was airing, I kept hearing great things about it from friends. It’s apparently really well done and I appreciate series with longer episode orders so you get lots of story. Maybe I’ll get to it another time!

Sorairo Utility (HIDIVE)

After enjoying Rising Impact and Tonbo I was looking forward to watching another golf themed series. This one sounded like a fun initial twist on how the character finds golf. Next time I’m craving a sports anime I’ll try to check this one out! 

These twelve anime series from Winter 2025 caught my attention for many reasons and I was (mostly) very glad I watched them!

12) Anyway, I’m Falling In Love With You (Crunchyroll)

Honestly, this is one of the most boring anime series I have ever watched. The story follows a girl and her looking back on her younger life, bouncing between the present and past. The past is a time when a “virus” disrupted life, but they still found ways to be kids and fall in love. The show really wanted to ignore the “virus” aspect yet kept bringing it up? The show was so forgettable, I’d forget what happened by the time the episodes ended. Everyone was in love, but no one was making moves? It was just vibes. Really strange. It also will be back for a second season. Not sure if I will though!

11) Honey Lemon Soda (Crunchyroll)

This romance series had potential and moments where I was really pulled in, but it just lacked a cohesive thread as a whole. The main characters were flawed and it’s the point that they can grow and become better people. I just didn’t buy the romance aspect. The guy was cold often, which helped the main girl grow, but it was just strange at times. The way the adults were portrayed as well was odd. They also flew through storylines when they could have used more time to really flesh out the stories.

10) The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World (Crunchyroll)

When I read the description of this series, I knew I had to check it out. A power ranger essentially ends up in another world in possession of his power ranger technology, giving him the abilities he had in the real world in the new one. It was funny, had some fun fight scenes, and I appreciated the “magic” lore that began to grow as the series went on. I found myself wondering how the physics of the power ranger magic worked in the new world and if it still existed in the real world. Tonally it bounced all over, but it was still funny and charming.

9) My Happy Marriage Season Two (Netflix)

Season two of this romance started off with a great evil stepmother storyline. It was juicy and helped our main heroine Miyo grow even stronger as a person. She was so bashful and soft spoken in the first season, this arc allowed her to become more confident and want to become stronger. The second half focused on a bigger threat, and less on her personal growth, and even the main romance aspect of the series. It was all still there, but the bigger threat took the main time of the storyline. Seeing Miyo tap into her true potential all season long was the main draw. Beautiful, poignant and a delight.

8) Medaka Kuroiwa Is Impervious to My Charms (Crunchyroll)

The romantic comedy series could have easily been a one joke story that they drove into the ground quickly, instead, it became more complex and the humor helped keep it fresh all season long. I loved seeing Medaka try to resist his obvious attraction to Mona. She still tried to get his attention all season long, and eventually was able to make small chips in his armor. It was charming and I loved the way the characters’ inner thoughts were portrayed. The series will return for a second season.

7) Sakamoto Days (Netflix) 

Part one of this series was full of great fights and funny moments. A former assassin has taken a quiet life as a family man running a business. When a bounty is put on his head, he successfully and often comically avoids the attempts on his life. He’s smooth, quick and always at attention, despite his new plumper body size. The characters around him are just as deadly, and are unintentionally funny. I enjoyed the first half of the story and look forward to when it returns this summer.

6) Link Click: Bridon Arc (Crunchyroll)

This new story is pretty much a prequel series, though its placement in the main storyline is later. There’s also some hints that we’ve been on an all encompassing time traveling plot even longer than we knew. We go to the past again, this time for an extended period of time. We see younger versions of the main characters and get to know them even more. Things begin to change in the timeline that are unexpected. In the end, it left me with even more questions. I miss the case of the week way the first season told its story, but it’s another compelling season of Link Click that I want to live in for a long time.

5) Ameku M.D.: Doctor Detective (Crunchyroll)

If you take a medical show and mash it up with a detective series, you have Ameku M.D.: Doctor Detective. A young gifted doctor helps solve unique medical cases by looking at the full pictures. She’s got her quirks and even though she is brilliant, she still questions her abilities, making her feel even more human. Some cases took multiple episodes to solve. Some stories were stronger than others, but I really enjoyed the vibes of this series. A few production issues led to delays, but I still looked forward to the next episode.

4) The 100 Girlfriends Who Really, Really, Really, Really, Really Love You Season Two (Crunchyroll)

This comedy series is seriously bonkers in the best way. Season two dials up the wacky even more, leading to even funnier episodes and jokes. We meet even more girlfriends this season, and each is quirkier than the last. It’s such a wild premise that it could easily fall flat and repetitive. My favorite arc was the baseball one. It was full of so much humor, great character development, and so many meta moments made me crack up. I’m so glad I kept up with this one! I can’t wait to see the Rentaro family grow even more.

3) Zenshu (Crunchyroll)

I almost didn’t watch this one going into the winter season. As an original story, it always runs the risk of losing its hold midway. Somehow, Zenshu gets even better as it quickly becomes self assured in the tone and story it wants to tell. It’s part isekai, part fantasy, part comedy and part drama. It is such a unique story story. I don’t want to give away too much of the plot, because it’s a lot of fun seeing how it all goes down. I’m glad I went in blind. It made me appreciate the story more. The animation is on point, as it is MAPPA, and it is so confident in itself in every aspect. I hope we see more bold unique stories to come.

2) Medalist (hulu)

This one wasn’t even on my radar going into the Winter season. As I’ve said before, sports anime are some of my favorite series for a reason. I don’t think I’d normally watch a series about figure skating, yet, it is compelling and must see. The characters are precious, hopeful, and full of so much life. You can’t help but root for everyone. Inori and Tsukasa are such great characters. They’re adorable, funny and great at what they do. They also don’t shy away from their insecurities and past difficulties. Major performances are CGI animation and the transition might be a little jarring, but I grew to love it. They’re well choreographed, and the are a sight to see. I am so happy the series will be back for a second season!

1) Solo Leveling Season Two (Crunchyroll)

The first season was enjoyable, but season two takes the series to a new level. Jinwoo is exponentially growing in power, strength and ability. Episodes fly by with tons of action, sure a few slower episodes every now and then, but it is telling a lot of story in a short time. I almost wish some arcs could have been an episode or two longer just so I could have lived in the moments longer, but they were so good! The battles are intense and beautifully animated. I’m not sure how much more there is to adapt, but I hope we get more real soon! It is so intense, shocking and confident in itself. I need more!!

With the Spring 2025 season about to begin, I’m looking forward to checking out these new and returning series: Lazarus (adult swim/Toonami), Go! Go! Loser Ranger! (season two, hulu), Wind Breaker (season two, Crunchyroll), Witch Watch (Netflix/hulu/Crunchyroll), Mono (Crunchyroll), Yaiba: Samurai Legend (Netflix/hulu), To Be Hero X (Crunchyroll), Moonrise (Netflix), and Lycoris Recoil Short Movie. Hopefully I will be able to watch them all and I’m sure I’ll find even more unexpected ones to watch!

What were your favorite series of the Winter 2025 season? It’s never too late to start a new series! Here’s to more great anime in 2025!

These series and more can be streamed with English subtitles and some English dubs on various streamers including Crunchyroll, Netflix, hulu, Prime Video, Max, HIDIVE, and more.
