Netflix to remove acclaimed anime Zom 100 as first season departs library

Collider · 16 hours ago

Netflix is removing the anime adaptation of Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead from its library, with the 12-episode first season due to depart on 8 July. The exit is notable because the series remains critically acclaimed, holding a perfect 100% critics' score on Rotten Tomatoes and a 91% audience Popcornmeter rating, making it a significant loss for anime fans among the platform's wider July removals.

The show, based on the manga by Haro Aso and Kotaro Takata, follows Akira Tendo, who greets a zombie outbreak with delight because it frees him from his soul-crushing office job, prompting him to write a list of 100 things to do before turning into a zombie. This workplace-satire twist on the survival genre helped it build a rare multi-platform presence, later airing on Adult Swim's Toonami block. A separate live-action film adaptation, which premiered on Netflix on 3 August 2023, will remain available to stream.

  • Zom 100 anime's first season leaves Netflix on 8 July.
  • It holds a rare 100% Rotten Tomatoes critics' score.
  • The separate live-action film adaptation stays on Netflix.
