By Evan Valentine

Zom 100: Bucket List of The Dead is about to have a big summer. With the arrival of the anime adaptation this month, the series also has a live-action film landing on Netflix on August 3rd. While the series has been confirmed to arrive on Hulu in a few days, the story of Akira Tendo will also be making its way to Crunchyroll, as has been confirmed in a new press release from the streaming service. Get ready to fight zombies and check some major things off your bucket list.

Zom 100: Bucket List of The Dead first began as a manga series in 2018 from creators Haro Aso and Kotaro Takata. The series has continued via its printed story since its debut, examining a world overrun by a zombie apocalypse. While zombies are nothing new to the anime world, the concept surrounding Zom 100, and its star Akira Tendo, adds an interesting mix to the fold. While Akira might be facing down a horde of the undead, his happiness at no longer needing to go to work might trump the horror outside his door.
