Netflix: This Japanese zombie movie promises to be a big summer hit!

Remember this title: Zom 100: The List of Death or the promise that zombies will take over the world this summer. Netflix has just released the first trailer for this movie, which is adapted from the manga of the same name.

This manga, written by Haro Aso (creator of Alice in Wonderland) and illustrated by Kotaro Tokata, is the subject of not one, but two adaptations! Thus, at the end of the month, the animated series will hit the screens, but there will also be a live-action film.

Originally announced to be in the works before anime production was revealed, the live-action version of Zom 100: The Death List stars Eiji Akaso as Akira Tendo.

Akira is an ordinary boy and an employee tired of his work. Craving for freedom, he welcomes the arrival of the zombie apocalypse because it means he’s freed from his responsibilities! He then makes a list of 100 things he must do before he turns into the living dead himself.

Directed by Yusuke Ishida from a script by Tatsuro Mishima, Zom 100: The List of Death will be released on August 3rd on Netflix.

In addition to Eiji Akasa as Akira Tendo, the film stars Mai Shiraishi as Shizauka Mikazuki, a young woman Akira meets while completing a to-do list, Shuntaro Yanagi as Kenichiro “Kencho” Ryuzaki, Akira’s best friend, and Kazuki Kitamura. As Gonzo Kosugi, her abusive boss.

Here is the detailed content from Netflix: “Akira Tendo is employed in a company where he is exploited and harassed by his boss. Tasked with absurd tasks, he spends his days feeling more dead than alive when he wakes up one morning to find his town destroyed and overrun by zombies.

In front of this apocalyptic picture, Akira bursts with joy: he doesn’t have to go back to the office anymore! Showing his natural positivity, a young man makes a list of 100 things he wants to do before he becomes a zombie himself, starting with cleaning the house and camping on his balcony, then takes it upon himself to make his dreams come true.“

Zom 100: The List of Death is a zombie comedy for all those stressed by modern society! The trailer shows Akira living her best life as she completes her list and avoids the dead and meets colorful survivors.

What sets Zom 100 apart from traditional zombie hordes is that it gives pride of place to humor. And these few pictures evoke a strange amusement in the face of this disastrous situation.

While there have been many iconic zombie films over the decades, such as Night of the Living Dead, Zombie and I Am Legend, Zom 100 seems to be inspired by Zombieland and Shaun of the Dead.

Fans of gore and hemoglobin will be interested in seeing this horror comedy update the genre.
