Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead

Blood flows through the street of the city. People fall from a huge house. Zombies split innocent people into eight.

"This is exactly paradise compared to the office," said Tendo Akira while watching a zombie apocalypse movie.

Akira did not always accept his job like this. Three years ago, he started working for a pink company. I was looking forward to a positive challenge, an attractive colleague, and a rewarding job. However, Akira was afraid of working at 02:00, a yelled boss, night shift. I thought it was an exciting opportunity, but turned into a prison that suppresses my heart. And in fact, he feels he has no chance to quit. Akira is worried when thinking about retirement. "If I leave, the team would have to keep up with me."

Saori Futori, who has a crush in Akira in his work room, is the light of the company's hope for him. However, his cheating skills are not good. The encounter with Saori inspires Akira. But if not, Akira cannot get out of the closed circle.

Until the magic occurs (at least for Akira's eyes).

On the way to work, Akira encounters a large amount of zombies. Yes, just like going to a movie theater. At first I was afraid to be late for work. However, Akira's awareness of the explosion, the crash of a helicopter, and the police losing to the worthless walker will change.

"I'm free!" -Shout. "I'm happy to take a break from work!"

Zombie Apocalypse can end most people's lives, but Akira comes. Aqualia picks up a notebook while grinning and says, "100 that must be done before it becomes zombie and freezes."

It may be inevitable to be a zombie, but Akira wants to live a fulfilling life until such a fate day.

A WIDE SPECTRUM

When I hear the situation where zombies appear, it classifies into the same category as a lo w-budget B-class movie.

That's why I was surprised at the "Bucket List of Zom 100 Dead" (the original is a similar Japanese manga by Haga Aso).

This anime certainly has a grotesque element, but plots have an eas y-t o-understand exploration of desires and burnout syndrome. He doesn't pay attention to the fact that Akira is enthusiastic about the work he needs, and he feels that he has been exploited by his company. In the end, he was actually burned out of the fierce momentum, and Akira said he couldn't understand what he was doing.

The animation's creative mode focuses on the nuances of the situation. When Akira begins his work, the colors are emphasized. But when he burns out, the colors disappear, and on the other hand, everything is not done in black and white. When Akira regains control of his life (during the zombie invasion), the paints nourish his world again. Until yesterday, I was looking at a monochrome universe covered by black clouds. In fact, I had forgotten that the universe is full of colors. "

While the artistic techniques and the components that focus on a specific theme are certainly creative, "Summer 100: bucket list of the dead" has a certain number of content problems. The scenes with zombies look scary. For example, we are looking for a certain number of scenes where zombies feast on human flesh, with blood flowing from them. In many cases, the zombies are partially undressed, and sometimes they are wearing minimal clothing. There are also several scenes where a woman's bust is shown. The characters speak in Japanese, but the English subtitles contain unusual vocabulary such as "D-N", "B-Trad", and "H-". In some scenes, you can hear stories of difficult drinking.

The spiritual subject matter and creative animation techniques make Summer 100 Dead Bucket List a beautiful anime. However, its table of contents has the ability to be accessible to a more advanced audience than another work for "Dead Bucket" with a creamier core would be suitable for.

Episode Reviews

Jul. 9, 2023 – S1, Ep1: “Akira of the Dead”

Three years ago, Akira was a new employee who loved his job. But now, the childish instructions and endless work hours have robbed Akira of his enthusiasm. In fact, he believes he has the ability to do more than just work for the sake of working... including the zombie apocalypse.

The zombies were not captured by Miyako, but Akira attempted suicide due to his own emotional wounds. Then, the conquered zombies began to attack people mercilessly, dropping people from houses and helicopters and tearing their bodies apart. These elements are quite graphic, including the blood present, human organs, and grotesque images of zombies (sometimes without clothes). In one scene, a zombie devours a human, its victim shaking. Akira runs, the horde chasing him, objects exploding around him. Akira witnesses people turning into zombies, but this scene is horrifying. A peasant vomits, slime and blood flowing from his body. To protect himself, Akira throws the zombie out of the window, where its corpse explodes in the blast.

Akira is in love with his colleague Saori Futori. Before the zombie comes, Akira knows that his boss (shouting his subordinates well) is using Saori for sexual proposals. In one scene, at the moment the boss uses her, she can see her shadow beyond the office door. The picture is not so fresh, but I hear Saori's pleasure to him, "Slowly." Several female zombies are worn only in a bra, and some women can see their bust when they become zombies.

Drinking and smoking are often mentioned. After going to work, Akira drinks with a colleague and can see used cigarettes on the table. After the zombie apocalypse has begun, Akira wants to drink in the daytime.

The characters use dirty words every day. Movie 5 uses the text "D-N", "P-SS", "CRAP", and "H-".

Jul. 30, 2023 – S1, Ep4: “Flight Attendant of the Dead”

Akira (taken by a friend Kencho) discovers a group of surviving people trying to erase another place from the list.

Movies often have a scary scene of collision with zombies. Akira shoots bloody zombies while being chased by a large amount of zombies, and the characters barely avoid being involved in the explosion. When a man becomes a zombie, he can see blood dripping from the wound. Later, the zombie in question bites the woman's crotch (she first interprets it as a sexual proposal). The zombie attacks another woman, and Akira hits the zombie in a suitcase to protect himself.

Akira's main motivation is that he wants to go on a date with a young woman. There is a scene where he says with a more fai r-sex representative. But his invitation is usually awkward and does not work. Kencho also uses a variety of tactics to make women emotion. He dances naked in front of the group (although nothing is decisive), and finally has sex with a woman. In this intimate scene, we hear that the couple was hinting in advance, and the two were together in bed.

In the opening number, women in sports bras and shorts appear, and Akira and Kencho's makeup is reflected (although there is nothing to look at, such as turning his back). In one scene, a special focus is on the anime angle in the valley of a woman's chest, and in another scene, a naked bust of a woman can be seen. One woman is walking in a bra and panties.

It is not unusual for survivors to drop sake bottles. Akira completely drinks a bottle of tequila (causing vomiting) to like the woman.

Curse words such as "D-N", "Crap", "B-Tard", and "Screwed" appear. Someone calls this character "idiot", and the toilet has a thin humor.
