Review of Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead

Simply amazing. What else can I even say about this anime? Zom 100 is genuinely awesome. It’s hard to complain about anything here. The story, the animation, the visuals, the characters, even the opening—everything is top tier. BUG FILMS did an incredible job. Every episode feels like a movie rather than a regular seasonal anime. Visually, I would even say it’s on the same level as Ufotable’s works. Yes, that good. As for the story… man, it’s painfully relatable. 😂 The anime centers on Akira Tendou, a corporate slave working brutal hours under endless pressure from his boss and clients. He spends two years enduring this miserablelife without ever enjoying himself or experiencing romance. Sure, there’s Ootori-san, the beautiful coworker he secretly likes, but… well, when you're a corporate zombie, even getting enough sleep is already a luxury.

Because his life is so depressing, Akira literally wishes for the apocalypse just so he doesn’t have to go to work. And unbelievably, his wish comes true. One morning, a sudden zombie outbreak hits the city! While running for his life, Akira realizes this disaster is actually a blessing—no more office, no more overtime, no more toxic boss. Freedom at last.

From there, Akira decides to create a list of “100 things I want to do before I turn into a zombie.” From confessing his feelings, partying, to traveling across Japan—there are tons of funny, heartfelt, and sometimes painful moments that reflect how tragic his previous life was.

As for the heroine, Shizuka Mikazuki—she’s sweet, cool, athletic, and definitely waifu material.

And to wrap things up:
For all of you still stuck in the corporate grind… please don’t hope for a zombie apocalypse just to get a long vacation, okay? 😂 Work properly, stay healthy, and keep your spirits up!
