Zom 100: Chasing Dreams in a Zombie Apocalypse!
Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead is based on the manga of the same name by Haro Aso (creator of Alice in Borderland), with art by Koutarou Takata, which was first published in 2018.
While known in English as Bucket List of the Dead, the literal translation of its full Japanese title, Zombie ni Naru made ni Shitai 100 no Koto, is along the lines of 100 Things I Want to do Before I Become a Zombie.
The story follows Akira, a young man living a joyless life while stuck in a soul-destroying office job. However, that all changes when his city is suddenly swarming with zombies!
The world-ending zombie apocalypse frees Akira from the shackles of his previous existence.
With a renewed desire for life, he sets off on an epic journey to tick off his bucket list and do all the things he could never do before.

Zom 100 English Dub Release Date Confirmed
Viz Media announced Zom 100's English dub release date ahead of the show's release, which is rare for many anime simulcasts! Unfortunately, the English dub will still be delayed compared to the original Japanese version.
Zom 100's English dub dropped on Sunday, August 6th. Episodes were then released weekly until the series announced its hiatus.
While no release time has been confirmed for the dub, it's fair to assume episodes will drop at the same time as the latest subtitled episodes.

Following the incident at the treehouse, where the group encountered Masaru Kumano, they finally reached Akira's thriving hometown!

Where to Watch Zom 100
Unlike many anime, Zom 100 is available on multiple platforms! It's been confirmed that the series will be simulcast weekly on Hulu, Netflix, and Crunchyroll.
Previously, Viz Media said that Zom 100 will only be streamed via Netflix and Hulu in the US.
Zom 100 is being produced collaboratively by Viz Media and both Shogakukan and Shogakukan-Shueisha Productions, which are part owners of the American manga company.
This collaboration is the reason most promotional material in the US is being created and shared by Viz.
Similarly promoted series, such as Bleach: Thousand-Year Blood War (although Viz was not a producer for that series), were also streamed on Hulu in the US and Disney+ in many worldwide regions.
However, at Anime Expo 2023, it was revealed that Crunchyroll will also be simulcasting the series.
This appears to have been a late decision, given how intent the promotion has been on highlighting Hulu and Netflix ahead of the premiere.
