‘Lazarus’ Is a Briefly Gorgeous Anime That Vibes Hard But Can’t Outpace Its Own Silence

gizmodo.com Isaiah Colbert 2025-08-20 11:30:18

When Adult Swim first announced that it was working with director Shinichirō Watanabe, Jujutsu Kaisen studio Mappa, and John Wick director Chad Stahelski on a new anime project, Lazarus already had the cards stacked against it. In the rollout of its stylish and musical trailers, the anime hewed close to Watanabe’s Cowboy Bebop aesthetics, setting it up to live up to a standard from a bygone era of animation that it would never be able to satisfy audiences with, and never tried to. Set in 2052,

The symbol of earthly good, and the immediate object of toil. Thursday afternoon I belatedly fulfilled a promise to post a book to Wilcannia. The school day was just finishing and as I left the Post Office I overheard a child around eight years old: Dad, I was so good today I got FIVE stickers. Dad was a little distracted, navigating cars and pavements and no doubt the shopping list for tonight’s dinner. Dad, I was so good at music today I got FIVE STICKERS!

While using HDMI 2.2 does not require a new connector, taking advantage of all its best features requires a new Ultra96 cable – a reference to its maximum bandwidth. 96Gbps is double the 48Gbps max bandwidth of HDMI 2.1 and is more th
