Zom 100: Special Program
Fans of the Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead anime will have to wait a bit longer for the fifth episode, as it has been delayed by a week due to a special program airing in Japan on August 6 at 5 PM JST.
The program will feature a serious discussion between comedians Panther Mukai, Panther Kan, and Tom Brown’s Michio and zombie expert Ken Okamoto from Kindai University on how to survive a zombie outbreak in the real world while reviewing the anime scenes. The program also includes an interview with KANA-BOON, who is responsible for the catchy opening theme of the anime.
This is not the first time Zom 100 has faced a setback. The fourth episode, which aired in Japan on July 30, was also pushed back by a day on streaming platforms due to “production circumstances.”
Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead is an anime series that brings a fresh and funny twist to the zombie genre as it follows Akira, a young boy who enjoys life after a zombie apocalypse. Produced by Bug Films, the studio behind Komi Can’t Communicate, the anime premiered on July 9, 2023, and has received praise from fans and critics alike for its vibrant animation, engaging plot, and hilarious comedy.
While the postponement of episode 5 is unfortunate, the Zom 100 special program promises an intriguing twist and practical tips for surviving a real-life zombie apocalypse. With its refreshing take on the undead, Zom 100 continues to be a lively addition to this summer’s anime lineup.
