Lazarus will be a futuristic anime taking us all to 2052. In the distant future, humanity will live a chaos-free life full of peace and tranquility. Nobody feels pain, and sickness is far from reality, thus providing a dream life to everybody. This is all thanks to Dr. Skinner, the famous neurologist, and his miracle drug “Hakuna,” which has apparently solved the problems. After introducing the wonderful medicine, he vanishes from the sight mysteriously to somewhere unknown.
However, he returned with bad news, which made everyone realize that they had to pay a huge price for taking the drug. Those who consumed it are expected to die within three years. The news struck the people as lightning and now the dream they have been living returned to the harsh reality. Dr Skinner apparently holds a mysterious and dark side. To deal with him, a task force consisting of five agents is created. Lazarus is the name of the said task force, and now the group must do something to save the people and fight against the evil doctor.
