‘Lazarus’ Anime Reveals Opening Video Ahead of April Premiere
There is no doubt that Shinichiro Watanebe’s upcoming Lazarus anime is one of the most anticipated Spring 2025 debuts, possibly the biggest one among the list (excluding returning shows). It’s been a while since Watanabe made an anime after scoring hits with Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo, and with his track record, the fans are excited.
And while the production suffered a large hiatus, we now know that the anime is premiering on April 6, 2025 and to hype us up even more, the opening video for the anime has just been released.
Before we continue, here is the OP video:
Kamasi Washington is performing the opening theme, “Vortex,” whose instrumental and ambient-focused nature reminds us of Watanabe’s previous work. On top of that, the series’ style is very similar to Cowboy Bebop, which is something the fans will appreciate.
The series will star Mamoru Miyano as Axel, Makoto Furukawa as Doug, Maaya Uchida as Christine, Yūma Uchida as Leland, Manaka Iwami as Eleina, Megumi Hayashibara as Hersch, Akio Ōtsuka as Abel, and Kōichi Yamadera as Skinner.
Other cast members include Yūichi Nakamura, Tomokazu Sugita, Shōya Chiba, Neeko, Daisuke Ono, Kazuhiko Inoue, Satoshi Hino, Sumire Uesaka, Hidenori Takahashi, Kōki Uchiyama, Kenshō Ono, Aoi Tada, Ayane Sakura, and Yoshiko Sakakibara.
