I'm late but thanks to Shinichiro Watanabe, he's put me onto the brilliance of Kamasi Washington 🎷🎺🥁🎹🎻. Maybe one of the few anime directors that celebrated western Jazz passionately in his works 😎 #lazarus #anime #anison youtu.be/z-nXegyTyuI?...

Lazarus is a ground-breaking collab of Japan/US 🇯🇵🇺🇸 production. Maybe the first anime in a long time to really emphasize this collab with a Japanese director. A beautiful first episode. Watanabe cooking again 👌👍👏🍿 youtu.be/LpG8vtFMkD0?...
