With only 30 days left to save all of humanity after a miracle drug turns into a nightmare, sci-fi anime Lazarus follows a team of bad apples as they hunt for a vaccine in the year 2055. There's action, intrigue, comedy, and – as expected – some incredible music. That's no shock given Lazarus is the latest project from the legendary Shinichirō Watanabe, best known for directing Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo. But despite being filled with ambitious ingredients, it unfortunately never quite melds into a harmonious whole.
