You know those collabs that sound so cool you just wanna pinch yoursel to make sure you're not dreaming? This is shaping up to be one of those.

Shinichiro Watanabe, the creator of some of the most stylish anime of all time, and Chad Stahleski, the director of the series that redefined action movie fight scenes are cooking something up, and it sounds like familiar territory. A sci-fi action anime produced by Chainsaw Man Studio MAPPA and Sola Entertainment for Adult Swim, titled Lazarus, directed by Watanabe with action scenes choreographed by Stahleski. Here's the official plot synopsis:

The year is 2052 - an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity prevails across the globe. The reason for this: mankind has been freed from sickness and pain. Nobel Prize winning neuroscientist Dr. Skinner has developed a miracle cure-all drug with no apparent drawbacks called Hapuna. Hapuna soon becomes ubiquitous… and essential. However, soon after Hapuna is officially introduced, Dr. Skinner vanishes.

Three years later, the world has moved on. But Dr. Skinner has returned - this time, as a harbinger of doom. Skinner announces that Hapuna has a short half-life. Everyone who has taken it will die approximately three years later. Death is coming for this sinful world - and coming soon.

As a response to this threat, a special task force of 5 agents is gathered from across the world to save humanity from Skinner's plan. This group is called "Lazarus." Can they find Skinner and develop a vaccine before time runs out?

Sounds cool already, but it wouldn't be Watanabe without a slick soundtrack to boot. Fret not, not only is the man directing every episode, but the soundtrack is confirmed to feature jazz and electronica, including saxophonist Kamasi Washington plus DJs Bonobo and Floating Point.

More info is sure to follow soon, but this already sounds like a classic in the making. Are you in for it so far? Let us know below!
