Cowboy Bebop Creator's Next Anime is 'His Masterpiece'
🌟 Cowboy Bebop fans, rejoice! Shinichirō Watanabe is back with a new anime, Lazarus, described as his masterpiece and set in a thrilling sci-fi world. Celebrating his 30th year in directing, Watanabe presented the first episode at New York Comi Con 2024, showcasing a future where a supposed miracle drug leads to a dire countdown of 30 days, with protagonist Axel Gilbert on the run. 🚀
While reflecting a spiritual successor to Cowboy Bebop, Watanabe ensures Lazarus stands on its own, featuring dynamic parkour action sequences and with contributions from John Wick's Chad Stahleski as action supervisor. The series highlights its creative legacy with characters akin to Bebop's, voiced by a familiar cast, including a special nod to Spike's actor Kōichi Yamadera. 🎭
🎶 The soundtrack of Lazarus is reminiscent of Watanabe’s iconic style, blending atmospheric tunes with jazz, involving talents from major blockbusters like Dune and Game of Thrones. With just 13 episodes to tell its complete story, Lazarus promises to be another Watanabe classic, blending nostalgia with new horizons. 🌌
