Lazarus is a ground-breaking collab of Japan/US 🇯🇵🇺🇸 production. Maybe the first anime in a long time to really emphasize this collab with a Japanese director. A beautiful first episode.

Watanabe cooking again 👌👍👏🍿

🎧 "Plastic Love" by Mariya Takeuchi turns 40 today.
Released in 1985. Forgotten.
Then came YouTube…
Now it’s one of Japan’s most streamed songs.

Incredible how impactful this pilot has been. I hope this project gets funded and keeps its indie spirit. Esp with the context of how successful "Flow" was at the Oscars.
