Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead

Zombies, everyone's favourite bad guys in the previous decade but over time, it lost its charm as more and more titles started blending together, making their existence entirely about its setting rather than using the setting to tell a good story.

This is exactly where Zom 100 succeeds. With just one episode, it has started a great story which has me keen and excited for what's to come. Going into the anime, knowing little to nothing about it, I was caught off guard by how good it was. Seriously, one of the best anime openers of all time.

The show packs a stylistic punch unlike any other Zombie media I have seen. The anime really used its format to play with the visuals and elevate the source material and oh boy, did it work.

Really good stuff.

Okay like so many I've seen about zombies this one's was like a good head start the beginning was okay but then as I progressed along the episodes I got feed up with everything about the idea of the anime the plot the story and even the protagonist like what the hell, if I had the ability to delete every memory of it from my brain I would in a heartbeat don't get me started on the so called comedian who gets naked to perform an act to his audience as for the others I just say go to hell, but no hard feelings on the creator though I don't even like bad mouthing someone else's work but maybe it was aimed at a different set of audience like kids am just saying but this time this anime wasn't for me in the first place.

I've really appreciated what this show has done for the zombie genre. It's first episode sets the tone for the entire series and establishes that this is really not a zombie show, it's a show about finding happiness. I love all the comparisons to a toxic work environment and I think it really adds to the colorful fun escapism that they make the literal zombie apocalypse out to be. I've looked forward to every episode they've released and I'm just as excited for the next one. I love the feeling of a friend group just doing goofy stuff on a road trip in the middle of what many people would describe as hell.

This series starts off really, really strong. A genuinely compelling first two episodes. But the more the show goes on, the weirder it gets.

Our protagonist, Akira, is driven by his desire to live his life. Now that the zombie apocalypse freed him from his abusive job. A great premise. However, it's not executed well. Is this a comedy, drama or action series? Well, in a way it's all of them, but it's more fair to say that it's none of them. The drama never hits. The action looks good, but is out of place and ridiculous (not in a good way). The humor is funny at times, but it's very hit or miss. Our side characters are incredibly one dimensional with one or two gags that remain the same for the entire season. Not too mention glaring plot holes and incredibly stupid character decisions.

I can't recommend this series.

This animation is pure CINEMA. I was really surprised by this anime, which I had been waiting for a long time. The cinematography is amazing, and the animation and art are also superbly done. Every episode has an incredible direction. The first episode is amazing, thrilling, and enjoyable. It features one of the greatest opening episodes ever, I think I can state with confidence. This zombie comedy masterfully shows you how the end of the world impacts you and how individuals may steal your passions and aspirations by using the apocalypse. An incredibly fascinating masterwork that encourages you to break free from these influences in order to fully live your life. Memoriam mori!
