It directed by shinichiro watanabe and action sequences director by chad stahelski (who did the John wick movies). And scored by Kamasi Washington (amazing jazz music and previous winner of the grammy).
Literally the best production team I have seen for one show all working together.

For anyone waiting for Eng dub or another language it getting simul cast meaning when adult swim releases it in April it be both dub and sub. For me personally I prefer sub.

That visual is straight out of Cowboy Bebop. Watanabe knows how to get attention.

Oecuf says this is the worst show of the year. I’m hoping either he hasn’t seen enough of it or he is just being really pretentious.

@Yuri_Niji It’ll probably pull a Ninja Kamuk like 5-6 episodes in, but it definitely won’t be the worst of the year like dude is making it out to be. In case he and you forgot, the TBATE anime legit airs the same season as this lol.

It looks good, but I prefer the feel of the first teaser. It made it seem like we were going to get something more atmospheric, but these new trailers seem to show it leaning more into the playful side.

I saw the second trailer first but the first trailer really sold it for me. I'm pretty excited for April.

Looks great, hopefully it remains consistently enjoyable all the way through.
People on MAL refuse to actually enjoy watching anime.

Your taste in anime isn't a personality trait.

Take me back to the days before MAL became infested with Twitter's favorite buzzwords.

This might be the first time that Watanabe so clearly referenced (or ripped off) the Cowboy Bebop aesthetic and tone. (Other than Samurai Champloo, of course, but I consider that one almost as a sister show to Cowboy Bebop)

Is it just me? I like Cowboy Bebop, but I'm not sure I like how similar it feels...

Yeah the visual reminds me of this bebop visual.

@Yuri_Niji That's the same dude who have said that Jujutsu Kaisen S2 OP2 gonna be Mid asf. He is clearly a Mappa hater.

Definitely not just you. I have a gut feeling it's not actually going to be as good as all the hype wants it to be, in part because it's leaning so heavily on Bebop.

Bebop and Champloo were so incredibly good because they had time to stop and smell the roses. I don't see Lazarus having that kind of luxury given its main plot.

Not that it'll be bad, just might not be a timeless classic. I could be wrong! Which would be awesome.

Official prison break clip (it's in English, the dub doesn't sound very good to me, unfortunately):



I think I see some John Wick influences (as promised), with grapples and counters.
