LAZARUS Ep. 13 Reaction [FULL]

a disappointing season for me overall.

LAZARUS Ep. 13 Reaction [FULL]

I can see why people would be dissapointed with the show. The goal of the show was already weak and hard to make interesting and they failed to bring anything together in the end (apothecary diaries does a good job in that regard). The fights were pretty good though.

i think "when there is a clear goal in mind, viewers want episodes to progress the story and reach such goals, or at least hint at progress" is exactly what was wrong with the show. It didnt feel like those side quest episodes did anything to push us toward the obvious goal of the show.

I got to admit, I had quite a bit of confidence that Lazarus would the next big thing, after the end of SL S2's hype. I thought wrong though. Once I saw less videos made on Lazarus on YouTube, I reckon that the confidence of the show had gravely diminished. Which is odd since Lazarus was the 2nd most anticipated show this Spring. I think a valid criticism with these types of shows is that when there is a clear goal in mind, viewers want episodes to progress the story and reach such goals, or at least hint at progress. This is especially the case when there's only 13 episodes. Lazarus has a serial plotline, but is littered with episodic side quests, which may or may not connect to the end result. The result though, is a less than satisfied response. I felt that Lazarus had a promising premise, but its execution could've been better. It could've been more thought-provoking, rather than linking all the knots in the finale, and expecting a standing ovation. (I doubt there will be a second season, most anime originals tend to be self-contained. Of course, I could be wrong though.) Overall I give Lazarus a 7/10. Not bad per see, but certainly not among Watanabe's best works.
