There’s action, intrigue, comedy, and as expected some incredible music.
But despite being filled with ambitious ingredients, it unfortunately never quite melds into a harmonious whole.
Even just one dose is enough to trigger it.
On paper, anyway.

Maybe John Wick-style action simply doesn’t translate well to animation.
It’s a grounded-yet-stylized ballet of fists, blood, and bullets.
Maybe John Wick-style action simply doesn’t translate well to animation.
But when it does work, it all feels a bit effortless.

What I’ve seen of Lazarus so far isn’t great.
It’s fine good, even.
I certainly hope so.
Lazarus is set to premiere on April 5, 2025, on Adult Swim in English.
New episodes will then debut in English every Thursday starting April 10, 2025.
