Lazarus anime synopsis

In the Lazarus anime, the year 2052 marks an era of unprecedented peace and prosperity in the world, thanks to a revolutionary medical advancement. Nobel Prize-winning neuroscientist Dr. Skinner has developed a miracle drug called Hapuna, which eradicates disease and pain, quickly becoming indispensable to the world's population. However, shortly after Hapuna was released, Dr. Skinner mysteriously disappeared.

3 years later, when the world seems to have turned the page, Dr. Skinner suddenly reappears, but this time as a messenger of the apocalypse. He announces that Hapuna has a short half-life and that everyone who has consumed it will die in about three years. Death, he predicted, was imminent for this sinful world.

Faced with this terrifying threat, a special force named Lazarus is formed. This elite group of five agents from all over the world is tasked with saving humanity from Skinner's macabre plan. Their mission is twofold: to find Skinner and to develop an antidote before it's too late.
