Adult Swim debuted a new look at Lazarus, a new anime by Cowboy Bebop creator Shinichirō Watanabe and Jujutsu Kaisen studio Mappa at San Diego Comic-Con. The series is slated to premiere on Adult Swim in 2025. Although the special look at Lazarus was behind closed doors, we have a play-by-play breakdown of what the super secret clip’s content entailed.
The clip centers on Lazarus’ fugitive protagonist, Axel Gilberto, as he off walls and kicks some dudes in the face in the process. After running down a subway line with policemen on his heels, we see a shot of a girl dressed in a red skirt and a baseball cap walking out of a room (more on her later). After Axel escapes the train, drones are after him now.
Snapshot back to the girl as she activates a hologram control pod tracking Axel out of the train station. We then get a cool establishing shot of some guys on motorcycles awaiting Axel. The final shots of the trailer show Axel performing Mirror’s Edge-style parkour before he stops at the edge of a building, runs, and slides down a pole.
While our color commentary of the super secret clp may not have done the Lazarus clip justice, its already incredible creative collaboration between Mappa and Watanabe being joined by Chad Stahelski certainly does. Stahelski is best known for his role as the director of the John Wick films. "Lazarus" Preview Trailer (Studio: MAPPA) Director: Shinichiro Watanabe Release Date TBA but it's confirmed this will have a runtime of 13 Epsiodes .
