Review of Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead

Just wanted to write a short paragraph, cause a lot of people are giving unfair reviews that basically boil down to "this show isn't what I wanted it to be, it sucks, 0/10". Here's the thing, if you're looking for a show about zombies, this isn't it. Yes, I know, it literally says "zombie" in its title, but this is not actually meant to be a serious show about surviving a zombie apocalypse. The whole point of this show is that its social commentary about just how fucked our modern society (and particularly japanese working culture) is, and how it messes people up. How japanese salarymenwere basically already zombies before the apocalypse even started, endlessly wagecucking for companies that don't give a shit about them. How meaningless and dull adult life can end up being. It approaches the subject in a very lighthearted manner though, and its not exactly subtle, so if you're looking for deep/sophisticated commentary, you won't find what you're looking for either. If you want that, go watch "Welcome to the NHK" instead.

I liked this anime. There is something very satisfying about seeing the MC and his group of friends finally being able to do what they really want, and while the lowbrow humor was a bit hit & miss for me, I still found it quite entertaining (for the most part). Oh, and it also looks and sounds great, which is a nice bonus. Its definitely not a masterpiece, but I would recommend this anime.
