While the choice of animation studio that has been chosen to carry on the adaptation has worried fans, they are excited, nonetheless, and are hoping for the best.

Does Lazarus look familiar?

Everyone remembers Cowboy Bebop, a classic anime about Spike, the bounty hunter who travels through space. The anime is a hit even today, and several fans revisit it for nostalgia. What if we were to tell you that the director and a few members of the anime team are coming back for a new project?

This project would be Lazarus, an anime set in the year 2055 (16 years after Cowboy Bebop, which is set in 2071) about Team Lazarus that must save humanity from an experiment gone wrong.

The anime has a stacked production team with Dai Sato, the scriptwriter for Cowboy Bebop, returning, and Chad Stahlenski, director of John Wick, choreographing the action.

The anime has already gained a huge amount of popularity on Reddit, with fans of Bebop getting hyped up for it.

Dante is arriving in style with Devil May Cry

The demon-hunter-for-hire is here, and he is looking better than ever. The Devil May Cry anime, which is set to premiere on Netflix in April, is of course based on the amazing video game franchise by Capcom.

While the trailer does not reveal much about the plot, we do know for a fact that the anime will revolve around Dante trying to close a portal that reportedly connects the human world to the realm of demons.

The smooth action of the trailer and the perfection with which it captured the wackiness of the game franchise, with demons calling Dante “cool”, has already impressed fans.

Join the Battle Royale in To Be Hero X

Set in a world where the special abilities of heroes depend on the trust of people, becoming the top hero, Hero X is what everyone aspires to. But only a few can survive the Battle Royale and emerge victorious.

To Be Hero X is an original anime project being developed by Aniplex and Bilibili. The series is a very innovative one, being a multi-style animated series, and this is reflected in the trailer of the anime.

While many fans are speculating that the anime might be related to projects like To Be a Hero and To Be a Heroine, from what we know, this anime is purely a standalone project.

Kuwloon Generic Romance ain’t so generic

Based on the 2019 sci-fi manga by Jun Mayuzuki, Kuwloon Generic Romance is a classic workplace romance that is set in the city of Kuwloon. The story revolves around Reiko as she hopes to build a relationship with Hajime, despite the two individuals having opposing views.

Seeing all the different genres of anime that are coming out in Spring has gotten us excited and wondering about how we are going to keep track of all these shows. However, one thing that we are sure of is that this Spring is going to be a blast with all this anime.
