What is the anime about?

Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead follows the story of Akira Tendo, a young office worker. Akira has become frustrated with both his personal and professional life as a result of working like a trapped rat in a firm for years. However, it all changes one day when the zombie outbreak in Japan caused the collapse of the world around him. Akira views the fall of society as a sign of his freedom.

He feels liberated because he is no longer responsible for going to work every day and believes that is the end of his monotonous life. He gains complete freedom to pursue his wishes.

As a result, he makes a bucket list for himself, which includes telling his crush how he feels, and traveling the country among others. In the journey to complete his wishes, Akira meets other survivors as his quest improves. They team up to overcome the challenges of a zombie-infested world while making the most of their remaining time.

This anime, as previously mentioned, is unlike any other zombie series. Zom 100 surpasses the limitations of a typical zombie survival show.

The genre of the anime is horror comedy, giving it the ideal balance of humor and gore. It might also appear to be an entertaining fictional story, but by shedding light on global workplace culture, it refers to a very serious social topic.
