Lazarus, the new anime by the Cowboy Bebop director, has a decent story: In the year 2049, a scientist created a painkiller pill that was cheap and effective and had no side effects. The whole world started using it, and then the scientist disappeared. in 2052, he re-appeared and announced that there WAS a side effect: he put nanomachines into each pill that would kill the user after 3 years, and that time was almost up. Also, he has a cure, so try to find him in the next 30 days!

But the poz levels in Lazarus are high. It has to frequently remind us that trannies good, crossdressers good, black people good (they always overcome le racism because they are geniuses), WHITE MEN BAD, white men uncool, especially rich white tech bros, who always use date-rape drugs. Oh, and it's heckin super brave to tell people about global warming.

Yes, I will bitch about this on the podcast next week.

@noyoushutthefuckupdad@shitposter.world Lol imagine actually being mad about a transgender side character existing.

Lazarus has been nothing but absolute peak and with 4 episodes being out it is pretty much my favorite 2025 anime so far I think.

Attributing what you're seeing to modern "globohomo" DEI shit means you're looking at this from your rightoid chud vision goggles.

The cast of Cowboy Bebop was just diverse as Lazarus and also contained many dark skinned and/or genderfucked characters.

@SuperDicq @noyoushutthefuckupdad
what about the white men bad part?
