Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead anime adaptation by Bug Films was by far one of the best premieres we had in the summer of 2023, and if the anime had been releasing every week, we surely could have been done with the series by now as it was reported to have a total of 12 episodes in the series.
However, there were many obstacles that the production team had to face during the production of the series, much like Akira and his friends had to face many zombies while they were on their journey to Akira’s hometown. I enjoyed this anime even though it was delayed several times because the anime was fun and produced the quality that it promised with its delay.
However, there are consequences of an anime that is being delayed every week, and it resulted in anime losing its time slot to premiere on the local Japanese networks and thus going on an indefinite hiatus. This raised a lot of concern among the fans of the series, and thus, they have begun to wonder if this anime is as dead as the zombies it features.
Well, there is some news that has been announced by Crunchyroll, which is where the anime is also being streamed currently, and fans can finally put their worries to ease. With that being said, here we bring you the latest updates on the Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead anime adaptation by Bug Films.
Is Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead Anime Finished?
This has been the concern of the fans for a while now, and given that the anime has been announced to go on an indefinite hiatus, many did not see hope to see the return of the series. However, on November 6th, Crunchyroll came with an early Christmas present announcing the return of the anime later this year.

Previously on Zom100: Bucket List of the Dead?
Given that the anime’s previous episode aired almost over a month and a half, fans might be forgetful of the events that may have taken place in the latest episode. The previous episode of the series saw Akira finally arriving at their hometown and meeting up with his parents.
He was very grateful to see his parents, who are alive, and this small village was as lively as ever. In addition, a few survivors made their way to this village from the city and are now living in this village. But this is where the problems are rising.
Among these new arrivals, we also have some unwanted guests, that deems themselves as unwanted people from society and they are keen on spreading chaos. They are led by a guy whom Akira recognizes, and as the latest episode of the series comes to, we see that he is planning on letting all the zombies invade the village, causing chaos.
