| In simple terms, he’s the main reason why the Uzumaki anime fell apart. |
| Stating the obvious eh lol. We’ve been hearing all kinds of things, none of them good, about how, even if the production is complete, some episodes don't look the best. At MOST, we’re probably going to get at least five melted episodes. I’m just holding out hope that the high-priority ones are strong enough to outweigh those. People need to understand that the sakuga show of the season isn’t even close to being this one. We’ve got YAIBA dropping just hours before it lmao. |

deg said: so thoughts? we should all inhale hopium that lazarus will be different remember this anime also have finished production early like his other works IGN watched the first 5 episodes and didn’t like it. They gave it a 5. But I will watch it for myself. https://www.ign.com/articles/lazarus-episodes-1-5-review Screen rant gave it a 5/10 too https://screenrant.com/lazarus-tv-review-2025/ |
| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
| Dude is a producer. He is just signing checks. His impact is limited to timelines and funding. It is up to the team to actually make the product within budget and on time. He does nothing for the anime specifically. He is attached to this solely because he is the VP of Adlut Swim. |

>His impact is limited to timelines
aka deadlines and how healthy the production schedule is again his anime works usually is finished before airing but it does not mean quality work

| @deg I mean, maybe. I just think you are putting too much weight into a Western Producer. I'm not so sure he doesn't just attach his name to these because Adult Swim aired them and that is the extent of his involvement. Probably just sitting in his office collecting and writing checks. Same way Netflix airs anime and calls them Netflix Originals. They just bought the rights to attach their names to it. I would guess he has closer to 0 involvement on the shows as opposed to any significant number. He is probably just bad at guessing quality anime that he and Adult Swim, can attach theirs names to. |

| Yeah knowing that made me lose interest, i'll still keep an eye on this but i'll wait for atleast 6 episodes released to give this a chance, i don't want to waste my time like with ninja kamui which started relatively strong and ended up sucking hard on all levels. |

| what’s up w the streaming situation? adult swim n MAX stream at the wrong frame rate, jp audio is only available thru an indonesian streaming service, n actual (non dubtitle) english subs r only available thru amazon france. n adult swim n MAX video quality sucks in general. u need to mush together a bunch of sources to make an actually watchable release |

@KingYoshi you are underestimating the role of western producers now that Japan is addressing the global market. No one is funding Watanabe after the flops and only Westerners worship him and since this is an original work theh can easily ask for things they want. Also FLCL was clearly impacted by western production and Suicide Squad couldn't be anymore obvious.
Producers can impact anime....

| @Dienen Being influenced by Western Culture is not the same as being influenced by a specific Western producer. What are you even talking about? Lol. Suicide Squad characters are actual Western IP, so that isn't even remotely the same as Lazarus. |

| One problem with these Adult Swim Originals is that they would start off well only to falter towards the end. That was the case with Fena, Ninja Kamui, and especially Uzumaki as for that horror show the first episode gave me hope that something by Junji Ito would finally be adapted correctly, only for the rest of the show to be a dumpster fire as shows from this horror icon are notoriously difficult to adapt into anime. Shenmue pretty much is a reflection of the video game series with a strong start, but the fact that game's story is incomplete made it difficult to stick the landing and it shows. The FLCL sequels are just a hot mess with Alternative being the only decent one out of the bunch. That said, I am hoping this turns out much better as Shinichiro Watanabe is one of the best in the business, and one thing he's especially great at is ending shows. The ending for Cowboy Bebop was epic, the endings for Samurai Champloo and Terror in Resonance are amazing, and he did a nice job wrapping up Kids on the Slope as well. So I'm hopeful things will turn out well this time around. |
| Already proving to be a massive red flag, and it's been a single episode. |

@deg Yes.
There was also talk of the Japanese version having different composition and retaken cuts. However, I haven't seen evidence of such, so I've disregarded that for now.

Yeah maybe.
I saw on Twitter or somewhere it seems Watanabe wanted to do something like Space Dandy but that idea was shot down by the producer who told him to do something that's serious.

Rexnihilo said: I saw on Twitter or somewhere it seems Watanabe wanted to do something like Space Dandy but that idea was shot down by the producer who told him to do something that's serious. Yeah it was from here: https://x.com/MangaMoguraRE/status/1908729197431775727 When Shinichiro Watanabe (Cowboy Bebop) was approached by Adult Swim to fully fund his next anime project, he initially proposed the idea of making an anime similar to Space Dandy. Producer Jason Demarco shot down the idea, as he said the network was looking for a more "serious" production. Watanabe was given full control of the production as long as it was serious, and it eventually resulted in the upcoming Lazarus. |
| HACKs! 🤢🤮 |
| Wishing for another Space Dandy series but this guy turned Watanabe down |
| That guy probably puts most of the budget into the first few episodes to bait viewers. |
