I'm so sad that zom 100 got screwed over by production issues. I have no idea what happened or why, but it always hurts to see a good show be dragged down by outside influences. Is it a perfect show? Of course not. Some episodes are better than others and I don't love the way they handle female characters and romances (kencho and akira have infinitely more chemistry than akira and shizuka and I will die on this hill) But it's a good show! It has so much heart and the themes of making room for joy, standing up for yourself, and the value community are heartfelt, impactful, and well-done!

You can feel the passion and love poured into the show, and the concept is novel despite its simplicity. A fun, colorful, bright, and joyful zombie anime is genius! It's such a great twist on the genre that paves the way for stories that other zombie media just can't tell with their grim and dark tones.

Zom 100 isn't perfect, but I'm really glad it exists and I hope it's audience continues to find it! (I'm aware that it made the rounds after it's first episode and the last three episodes were the only ones particularly egregiously affected by the production issues in the form of a lengthy delay, but my point still stands 😅)

#zom 100 is the perfect kind of show for me to want to ramble endlessly about #it's that solid 8.5 to 9 out of 10 that's flawed yet compelling and full of heart that leaves me frothing at the mouth with tons of thought #the sheer depth of emotion (even when it's simple and straightforward) is so compelling and engaging that i can't help but be pulled in #it just has this magnetic charm about #but also enough flaws that i could talk about improvements i would make #or i could rage about the heteronormativity of it all and despair about the loss of an akira and kencho romance #or i could complain about the outfit choices for the female characters for obvious reasons 😅#or i could gush about the energetic and unique and upbeat soundtrack #or i could ramble about the fucking tour de force that was the first episodes and the narrative follow ups episodes that deal with akira's-#boss #because that its an absolutely phenomenal portrayal #anyway i need to go do something else instead of yelling into the void 😅#zom 100: bucket list of the dead #zom 100: zombie ni naru made ni shitai 100 no koto #zom 100
