In ZOM 100: Bucket List of the Dead, Akira Tendo (Eiji Akaso) works at an exploitative company where he suffers endless hours and harassment from his boss. Spending more days feeling dead than alive, he awakes to discover his town has been devastated and overtaken by zombies and suddenly feels excited at the prospect of not needing to go to the office anymore.
After witnessing an older co-worker he looked up to become a zombie, he realizes that he’d rather be eaten by zombies if he can’t do what he wants. Akira comes up with a bucket list of 100 things he wants to do before becoming a zombie and makes his bucket list check everything off while traveling with Shizuka (Mai Shiraishi) and Kencho (Shuntaro Yanagi).
He crosses these items off the list as he experiences stay-at-home camping, paragliding, SUP yoga, and other long-held dreams.
What will become of him as he joyfully lives his life amid a zombie apocalypse?! And, as he holds on to his dream to become a superhero who saves everyone, what will happen when he battles a massive and deadly zombie shark!?
Based on the original graphic novel by Haro Aso & Kotaro Takata, ZOM 100: Bucket List of the Dead will premiere globally on Netflix on Aug 3, 2023.
