Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead episode 5 has been delayed and will be released on August 13, 2023. The recently launched anime from the new studio has encountered a unique situation in the Summer 2023 lineup, becoming the first series to experience consecutive delays. This has unanimously sparked speculation among fans about the possibility of further delays in the future.
Earlier, the fourth episode was delayed on streaming platforms, including Crunchyroll, Hulu, and Netflix, due to “production circumstances,” leaving the exact cause shrouded in mystery. However, this time the fifth episode is being delayed to instead air a short special, 100 Things You Need to Prepare to Run Away from Zombies.
It will be released on the scheduled release date of episode 5 at 5:00 pm JST on MBS/TBS affiliated 28 broadcasting stations nationwide. As Netflix hasn’t revealed anything about streaming the special, it can be expected that fans internationally might not get to see it.
