#lazarus

3 posts2 participants2 posts today

It's been weeks since Lazarus, the fourth collection has been out. I keep hoping to find it somewhere on an actual shelf, Indigo and such. No luck. So finally I decide to drive to a comic store, which is not near at all, and either they have it or they can order it.

- Hi, I am looking for new Lazarus. The fourth collection.

- ...?

- Lazarus comic. New hardco-

- We don't carry hardcovers, just normal comics.

Well fuck me for wanting to support local comic stores, I guess.

I'm not gonna hold you.

#Lazarus wasn't good. It teased like it might be good, then it kept not being good.

#Anime

Best description I can provide is "What if Professor Xavier secretly recruited all of the Sonic characters for a secret mission?" and it still didn't make any sense?

Finished #lazarus this evening. Final episode felt a little rushed, but then the footage that rolled over the credits kinda made up for it. As throughout the series, there was some stellar animation in this final episode.

Highly recommended, and looking forward to future series, if they come.

The #anime #Lazarus was such a disappointment! The beginning was super strong, then there were so many episodes where nothing happened, lots of tangential stories that led nowhere, no development of characters, and the end was so anticlimatic that it was confusing. 💯 % agree with Screenrant's review, the time wasted watching it was sunk cost fallacy. The only thing that stays is the music, which now feels like a theft (K.Washington, Boo Radleys...)
