Lazarus Opening Movie RELATED: Lazarus TV Anime Debuts on April 5 on Adult Swim Lazarus is set to premiere on April 5 at midnight on Adult Swim during the Toonami block, with Max streaming the following day. The Japanese language version with English subtitles will follow 30 days after the English dub debut.  Shinichiro Watanabe writes the original story and directs  Lazarus  at animation studio MAPPA with planning production by SOLA ENTERTAINMENT. Chad Stahelski (87Eleven Action Design) serves as action supervisor, Akemi Hayashi provides the character designs, and Kamasi Washington / Bonbo / Floating Points provide the music. The story of  Lazarus  is described as follows: The year is 2052. The world seemed to be on the verge of unprecedented peace and stability, and the painkiller drug “Hapna” developed by a lauded neuroscientist Dr. Skinner has had a lot to do with it. Pervasive throughout the world with no known side effects, Hapna is said to have freed humanity from pain. But then, Skinner suddenly disappeared off the face of the earth. Three years later, he re-emerges as a prophet who brings countless deaths and the end of civilization. Hapna is designed with a fatal, retroactive effect, which manifests three years after ingestion, even by those who have only taken it once. Just thirty days remain until humanity is doomed to extinction. The only way to save the world is to get the cure that only Skinner knows. For that we must first find him. “Lazarus” is a team of five agents gathered from various corners of the world to do just that. Can they save humanity? And what is Skinner's true purpose?
