The sixth episode of Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead will premiere on August 27 instead of August 20, with an official statement citing the broadcast of the 2023 World Athletics Championships as the reason for the delay.
The anime previously delayed its fourth episode for “some” streaming platforms due to production circumstances. Episode 5 was postponed entirely, with a special recap airing on August 6.
Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead premiered on July 9. The anime is based on the Shogakukan-published manga written by Haro Aso and drawn by Koutaro Takata. Viz Media describes the manga as:
In a trash-filled apartment, 24-year-old Akira Tendo 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 Ohtori. 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!
The show is directed by Kazuki Kawagoe (Komi Can’t Communicate) with Hanako Ueda (Summer Time Rendering ending 2 director et al.) as assistant director, Hiroshi Seko (Chainsaw Man) as series composer, Kii Tanaka (Pride of Orange) as character designer, Junpei Fukuchi (Summer Time Rendering chief animation director) as zombie designer, and Makoto Miyazaki (RPG Real Estate) as music composer. BUG FILMS is the animation production company, while SHAFT is credited for production assistance.
The main cast members include Shuuichiou Umeda as Akira Tendo, Tomori Kusunoki as Shizuka Mikazuki, Makoto Furukawa as Kenichiro Ryuzaki, and Minami Takahashi as Beatrix Amerhauser.
