Critical Reception

What critics are saying

Score 78 /100

Critical reception for Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead is largely positive, with reviewers praising the series for its vibrant animation and creative subversion of tired zombie genre tropes. The anime adaptation is frequently lauded for its delightful premise and highly entertaining, emotional storytelling that keeps viewers engaged through a blend of horror and humor.

While the series is widely regarded as successful, critics noted some inconsistencies. The live-action adaptation, in particular, received criticism for feeling overly long and trying to cover too much narrative ground, while some aspects of the voice acting in later episodes were occasionally described as over-the-top.

“A new anime series that subverts a major zombie fiction trope thanks to incredible animation.”

“It does such a great job crafting an entertaining story that is equal parts fun, thrilling, and emotional.”

“It’s a zombie anime with a delightful premise, and one of the best first episodes of an anime in a long time.”

“Provides memorable moments of zombie mayhem. It’s also way too long.”

Why fans love it

The typical zombie narrative leans into grim desperation and survival at any cost. Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead pivots by turning the collapse of civilization into a moment of liberation. When the monotony of an oppressive office life vanishes in the face of a supernatural catastrophe, the protagonist views the chaos as a reason to stop working and start checking off long-delayed personal ambitions.

The animation style mirrors this shift in perspective, favoring a vibrant, almost manic energy over drab horror tropes. Shuichiro Umeda brings a necessary sincerity to a world that flips between slapstick comedy and genuine suspense. Rather than hiding from the infected, the characters treat the end of the world as the start of a final, chaotic vacation. It is a seinen series that prioritizes the absurdity of the human experience over the physics of the undead.
