  • I’m going to remain cautiously optimistic about this one. I’m a big fan of Cowboy Bebop, Samurai Champloo, and for the most part Space Dandy also. Kids of the Slope ranged from just OK to pretty good, but the end left me a bit underwhelmed, and I haven’t checked out Shinichiro Watanabe’s other works. Lazarus sounds like it could be promising, though the animation in this preview trailer seems to be a little rough at times, I just hope the storytelling can rise up and approach the level of Bebop or Champloo!
