The manga series Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead, written by Haro Aso and illustrated by Kotaro Takata, has begun airing its TV anime adaptation this month, which not only boasts excellent artwork quality but also showcases a compelling storytelling pace and impressive music performance. Besides the anime adaptation, Zom 100 had also announced plans for a live-action film adaptation, which unveiled its official trailer yesterday, confirming that it will premiere worldwide exclusively on NETFLIX on August 3, 2023.
Viz Media's introduction to the plot of Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead is as follows:
In a trash-filled apartment, 24-year-old Akira Tendou watches a zombie movie with lifeless, envious eyes. After spending three hard years at an exploitative corporation in Japan, his spirit is broken. He can't even muster the courage to confess his feelings to his beautiful co-worker Ootori. Then one morning, he stumbles upon his landlord eating lunch—which happens to be another tenant! The whole city's swarming with zombies, and even though he's running for his life, Akira has never felt more alive!
