The first five words were all I needed to be wholly invested, even if it’s going to be different.

badideas.bsky.social•224 days ago

All the info so far on Lazarus via @misterpatches.bsky.social interview with Watanabe what’s he’s adamant it’s not another Cowboy Bebop and more like his super underrated Blade Runner anime short, Black Out. https://www.polygon.com/preview/467590/lazarus-anime-shinichiro-watanabe-interview-nycc-2024

karas44.bsky.social•223 days ago

You got me at "creator of Cowboy Bebop". I'm in 🤘

brandon.insertcredit.com•224 days ago

This looks cool, but the main character is so spike spiegel - I wonder how that's gonna go

mattonmovies.bsky.social•224 days ago

Who doesn’t want to be like Spike?

rj-palmer.com•223 days ago

Do we know if this guy is the full series protagonist? It would be funny if he dies in the first ep for being too much like Spike

fjord.style•224 days ago

I'm just glad Peter Chung's getting work

cabbusses.bsky.social•223 days ago

The title is literally a biblical character known for being raised from the dead.
I have a feeling the resemblance to Spike is intentional.

Of course, it could be a bait and switch, but still.

gregrucka.com•223 days ago

Again, I sing the song, “you cannot copyright a title.”

I don’t know if that’s a copyrighted song or not though….

marcbernardin.bsky.social•223 days ago

Maybe call the next thing “Titanic.”

The *song* is, but the *title* isn't.

It feels like an age since I saw any Watanabe series. it might be Carol and Tuesday before the pandemic. So, the wait feels like10 years at this point.

pepperraccoon.com•223 days ago

YAYYYYYY

amigonerd.bsky.social•223 days ago

I liked Cowboy Bebop, but the man got my undying loyalty after Carole and Tuesday hahaha

koizetsu.bsky.social•224 days ago

Damn, it looks really nice. Do we know the release date on it?

digitalwatches.bsky.social•223 days ago

Sold. Fuck

kawaiimiraclewitch.bsky.social•224 days ago

If this is Nobumoto’s last work, I guess this has been in development hell for quite a while - at least this clip looks promising

also note to self: finish Samurai Champloo and GitS SAC

tarikn.bsky.social•223 days ago

Stand Alone Complex is the blueprint for stochastic terrorism in the future. Critical, if for only the laughing man plots.

badideas.bsky.social•223 days ago

SAC is very underrated along with Kamiyama’s Eden of the East, he was surfing a wave that is still hitting shore with those two

banananinja.bsky.social•223 days ago

Oh this looks like it could be so sick & has creators who made banger pieces of work

tsluikart.bsky.social•223 days ago

I have massive respect for Watanabe, but he's almost gaslighting us to claim that character doesn't look exactly like a young Spike Spiegel. He didn't want comparisons? He really should've chosen a different hairstyle, clothing style, expressions, etc.
