Lazarus Episode 2 Discussion

@bucciest
it's some time ago i've watched Cowboy Bebop but i don't remember it being political propagated - there's no current thing that is far fetched or anything as fas as i remember
and i don't mind if politics is presented in anime at all, but i hate it if current political topics that is being propagated IRL is also being propagated in anime

@MyllerPhiem what a genuinely bizarre thing to complain about

@Uitari You must hate FMA, Pluto, Attack on Titan then, for their influences from Real Life politics, as well as any work or fiction inspired by the fear of Nuclear Annihilation during the Cold War.

@Uitari Climate change isn’t propaganda you moron it’s just a fact

It’s crazy how one episode can change your entire perspective on a story or character. Growing up is realising Dr. Skinner is the good guy and humanity are the bad guys.

Dude dedicated his entire life to the betterment and advancement of the human race, didn’t even patent all the lifesaving medicines and inventions he made and genuinely would give the shirt off his back to a stranger, yet the moment he started preaching about shit that would impact the top 1 percent’s profits like combatting climate change, everyone laughed at and ignored him. The dude lauded as the next Einstein who had done so much for the world, but you doubt him on this lmao. The US walking out of that UN assembly speech on climate change had me cracking up because it’s sadly all too real.

Wiping out humanity with a miracle drug might seem a little harsh, but in Skinner’s mind he’s not doing anything humanity aren’t already doing to themselves. He told them The North Pole is literally gonna melt in 3 years which would mean the end of life as we know it and they ignored em but want to act all scared after he revealed that a drug would do the same 😂 yea we stand with Skinner.

The Lazarus crew are coming together well, Axel continues to be funny af. “We’re like the avengers”, uh more like the thunderbolts or suicide squad actually buddy lol. Christine kicking him out the car when he said how much time he was serving in prison had me dying too. Generally felt like a set up episode to introduce us to Lazarus team dynamic and give context on Skinner’s actions. It was fun tho.


Chad Stahelski’s involvement starts with this episode as well, not a ton of fights today, but you could see the influence briefly. Can’t wait to see what they cook up later.

My takeaway from this episode is that Mr Skinner is living happily in his own house disguised as his gardener while these guys will be spending the next ten episodes with filler action sequences finding this out.

I don't know guys what we expected from Shinichiro Watanabe but this anime feels extremely uninspired to me at this moment.

@0207xander it certainly is and a very annoying one as all of the woke ideology is
and it's not about climate change in general, yah there is and was always and will till the end of times, but not the way it is propagated where humans are the main cause and CO2 is depicted as the evil itself

but your insult expose your state of mind, my guess is a woketard or at least a victim of that ideology - anyway, it's not worth to go any further

@Uitari i have a master's degree in astrophysics, i promise i know way more about atmospheric science than you do lol

@0207xander sure, but you're not the only one with a degree that can tell sth about it and there are plenty of competent ppl who also falsify that bs

@Uitari can you back up that claim with some proof?

@0207xander that would take time i'm not willing to sacrifice since this is about an anime not some political affairs - and i don't intend to convince you in that matter
for now, it stays a merely claim of mine
