Zom 100: Zombie ni Naru made ni Shitai 100 no Koto

After graduating from a top university with an impressive extracurricular record in the rugby club, Akira Tendou has nailed every step of the way to securing his dream job. On top of that, a beautiful and kind co-worker always brightens his day in the office! Life seems to be going very well for Akira until he slowly realizes that sleepless nights and brutal work are his new reality.

Due to three years of mind-numbing labor in an exploitative company, Akira is unable to recognize the tired, unaccomplished person he has become. On track to losing all passion in life like several of his overworked colleagues, Akira finds his saving grace in the most unexpected way possible—the breakout of a zombie apocalypse.

With the free time he finally has, Akira decides to complete a bucket list of a hundred things he wants to do before he eventually gets turned into a zombie. Although he is surrounded by the dead, Akira has never felt more alive!

My first impression of this without watching it, was that it was just some goofy parody anime, similar to Highschool Of The Dead, but just like with that anime, if you ignore the oddities of it, you come to find out that there is a lot more to the story than you're seeing.

First off, the main character is someone most of us adults (and even some teenagers) can relate to. Where you're living in a life that is draining and soul destroying, where you feel like no matter how hard you try, you're going nowhere and all your efforts mean nothing.

Then as the anime progresses, ... it leans heavily into teaching people the value of enjoying the time you have, while also having intense moments of action, inspirational moments of friendship and trust, and lastly... great moments of laughter.

Through and through, this anime has a lot to bring to the table, with a whole slew of recognizable character attitudes that you have probably experienced in your own life, and best of all... there is one moment in this, where you'll watch it, and immediately hear the song "You Say Run" playing in your head.

I would say, for people who need inspiration to do more with their life, this is a good stepping stone to make you want it.

Mixed Feelings

The first few episodes is amazingly animated and very fun, and the anime keeps a steady quality until the german girl is introduced. Her character is uninspired and the rest of the anime drags and feels like they were running out of ideas.

The art direction and color use in this anime is astounding and colorful which definately helps make the anime more enjoyable, however it cant fix the boring copy pasted concepts that plague the latter half of the anime.

Despite the problems with the second half of the anime, the first half is a blast, making use of characters being put in absurd situation while ... its ideas are still fresh

All in all this anime gets a 6/10 because of its great first half followed a dragging uninspired second half.

it should have been a one-episode OVA. The first episode was pretty good and set up an interesting premise. It quickly went downhill after that. All the character are thin and underdeveloped. They all get one or two traits and that's it. I couldn't tell you much about the main character besides the fact that he hated his job. The story is predictable and ends on schmaltzy bullshit about connections with other people being good and following your dreams, as if you haven't heard that a million times before. There were some good action scenes and creative moments, but the premise and characters are too ... thin to carry an entire series. You'd be better off simply watching a bunch of zombie movies (the good ones, I mean).
