In 2052, a Nobel Prize-winning neuroscientist develops a drug called Hapna — a cure-all that has the unexpected side-effect of causing death three years later. In response to this threat, a special force of agents—nicknamed "Lazarus"— is assembled to take on the malevolent Skinner.

"This thoughtful action series is about unwinding a mystery of the inventor of a so-called miracle drug that backfired, giving mankind an actual expiration date. Skinner, the inventor of Hapna, went from savior to destroyer when he announced the brink of human extinction. But, he also claims to hold the key to restoring the health of humanity. A team of people with rare "talents" now chases Skinner to find out how to get the cure. As you can imagine, people in the world population have had various reactions to this news. Each episode reveals something about the origin of the drug, shady investors, or medical practices. The voice cast is good in English, but great in the original Japanese audio. (Things look hopeful for another season)."
"All the trappings of a new classic: Shinichiro Watanabe of Cowboy Bebop and Supercrooks (yes, you should watch that one) fame, music from Bonobo, sleek, cinematic animation from MAPPA house, and an intriguing sci-fi story.
The unfortunate delivery vehicle known as Adult Swim has somehow determined a dubbed release was best. Voice acting is mediocre."
