Shinichiro Watanabe anime

Cowboy Bebop remains to be considered to be one in all his best; Kids on the Slope is a coming-of-age tale about Japanese teens within the ’60s who bond over their love of jazz music; and Space Dandy is a space-opera that follows a “dandy” guy on his sci-fi adventures.
Watanabe’s next series, Lazarus, is scheduled to launch in 2025 and it feels like an intriguing mystery series. Set in the long run, the show will concentrate on a task force of agents looking for the mysterious Dr. Skinner. In 2052, the doctor released a miracle drug that found widespread adoption, but in 2055, he announced that the drug has a three-year half-life and everybody who took it is going to die. With the clock ticking, it’s up to those elite operatives to seek out Skinner and the potential vaccine he has knowledge of, in the event that they need to avert a world catastrophe.
