Summer 2023
Hey sluts! It’s ya boi, Razovy, and I’m here to tell you that Summer 2023 is a fucking awesome time for anime! Jujutsu kaisen Season 2 is absolutely great to watch but the one that’s taking the crown in my humble opinion is a little anime called Zom 100 Bucket List of the Dead. Is that a mouth full (that’s what she said)? Yeah… but hey, this anime is fucking good y’all!
So what is it about?
So as you might expect, Zom 100 is about zombies. I know, mind blown, same here. But this ain’t your traditional zombie anime. Normally speaking, whenever a zombie apocalypse happens, everyone is upset about it, right? I mean, that’d make sense given the fact that everyone around you is dying and your situation is getting way worse than before.
It turns out though that Akira Tendou, our main guy, is HAPPY about the zombie apocalypse! Why, you might ask. Well, because his life SUUUUUUUUUUCKED!
All he did all day was work for this black company. For those not in the know, a black company is an exploitative company in Japan that, as the name suggests, exploits its workers. One day he goes to work and finds out the world as he knew it had basically ended. Click here for his reaction.
After calming down from his high, Akira now has to decide what to do with his free time. He decides to create a list of 100 things he wants to do before he becomes a zombie. And that, ladies & gentlemen, is the main premise. Oh, by the way, if you’re already sick of me talking about it and just want to watch it yourself, click here.
Eventually Akira will meet up with an old friend, a hot chick and an even hotter German chick and together they’ll be traveling all over Japan, trying to work on their bucket lists before they’re turned into zombies. Some parts are incredibly over the top, such as visiting a hotel run by advanced robots, but other parts are incredibly down to earth and precious, such as Akira visiting his parents and coming to terms with certain ‘things’. Akira grows a ton as a character along the way and seeing him develop from this depressed loser into a chad is AMAZING! The relationship between our main characters is also incredibly endearing and not our typical shounen bullshit.
The Mango is crazy gewd
Bruh, the anime is good but my GOD the Manga is even better! I’ve noticed that the anime is slowly paced. It ain’t bad, for real, but the manga is so much better. And guess what, bruvah, there is a physical version available for collectors like me! I bought mine here cuz it has worldwide shipping. The Manga is fast paced and is NEVER boring, something I did feel when watching the anime. The first 5 episodes cover the first volume of the manga which surprised me quite a bit cuz the first volume doesn’t have that much content. And yeah, that’s also why the first 5 episodes don’t have that much content. They’re really trying to milk the first volume with all their might and it’s showing!
That’s why, in my humble opinion, you should first read the manga before watching the anime. I am genuinely appreciating the anime a ton but that’s because I read the manga beforehand. Frankly, I think I would’ve been bored with the zom 100 anime after episode 3 if it weren’t for reading the manga first! There are currently 10 volumes out as of writing this article and there are many more to come! Hell, I have already pre-ordered volume 11 and 12!
Why I LOVE it so much
I used to be a high school history teacher and I absolutely HATED every second of it. Sure, most of the kids were great, but this job was mind-numbingly boring and most of my colleagues were fucking idiots. Explaining the same shit over and over again made me want to bash my head into a brick wall and talking to my colleagues made me want to vomit. I sincerely disliked my job and don’t ever want to go back. Yet, for many years, I taught history. I felt stuck in life, just like Akira. In fact, reading Zom 100 inspired me to quit my job and travel to Japan, which, might I add, was FUCKING AWESOME! I’m still trying to figure out what it is that I really want to do but there is one thing I know for sure, something Akira also figured out: there is no way in hell I’m going back to my old job! I’d rather get eaten by a zombie!
