The good folks from anime streaming giant Crunchyroll have just sent us details of a new release Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead, which is due to lurch onto the service from Sunday 9th July 2023.

The show is based on the manga by the same name, which is written by Haro Aso and illustrated by Kotaro Takata. It tells the story of Akira Tendo, a 24 year old worn down by company life. Then much to his relief the zombie apocalypse occurs in Japan. Realising he doesn't have to go to work any more, he creates a bucket list of things he wants do before becoming a zombie.

We're looking forward to this show as the manga is really enjoyable and the anime has all the hallmarks of what should be a good adaptation. It's animated by studio BUG FILMS and directed by Kazuki Kawagoe (Komi Can't Communicate), with the series composition written by Hiroshi Seko (Vinland Saga; Attack on Titan Final Season; Mob Psycho 100).

You can watch the official trailer here.

A live action version of the show is also due to hit Netflix in August. You can buy the manga from Amazon.com, Amazon.co.uk and all good places that sell manga.
