“Bro aura farming mid fight”: Fans poke fun as the preview clip for LAZARUS by Shinichiro Watanabe hits the internet

Shinichiro Watanabe has made a fiery return into the pop cultural scene with Lazarus, another anime series to grace our screens on April 5, 2025. As the preview clip for the upcoming project hits the internet, fans react with wonder, nostalgia and a wave of hilarious digs that just keeps getting better.

A netizen commented, (via @MidasTouchmkt/X):

For those uninitiated to Watanabe's craft, he is known for his masterful storytelling and genre bending anime forging skills. He made the ‘90s memorable with the groundbreaking series Cowboy Bebop. If you have spent anytime scrolling pop culture, it will be highly unlikely that you have missed the name.

But if you did, we have got you covered. Cowboy Bebop and Samurai Champloo were names that forever changed the anime scene. Shinichiro Watanbe's Cowboy Bebop was a space western that cemented its place with jazzy soundtrack and paved a new genre of anime that combined action, philosophy, and style.

Now, fans are super energized once again to see some spiked hairs and masterful action on screen. Let us be honest, few feelings are as precious in the popcultural scene as watching fan favorite names evolve in their craft with new shows and films.

Observant fans took a funny dig at the fighting scenes showcased in the short preview clip. If aura farming was a term, then this new preview screamed it on full volume.

If you got too lazy in your daily routine, watching this clip on loop may inspire you to do some exercise. Wonder why? Well, you practically see the main character (or so it seems) jump almost over a hundred times before your eyes could comprehend what's happening.

Talk about epic fighting scenes and escape routes (when a thousand guards chase you like they will break the fast only when they catch you), this guy seems to be giving tough competition to Lara Croft and John Wick, one jump at a time.

As Watanabe returns to his anime making glory, let us hope for a banger and return ourselves to the humorous realm of comment section.
