Announcement: The anime series "Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead" will be going on an indefinite hiatus starting from episode 10 and onwards. The reason for this decision has not been disclosed yet. Unfortunately, the release schedule of the show has been plagued by several setbacks, particularly with episodes experiencing delays since the fourth episode. These delays have primarily been caused by production issues, as stated in the official statement released by the production house. Although the episodes have been airing as scheduled in Japan, there have been delays in their availability on global streaming platforms, with episodes being released the following day.
Concerns have been raised by fans following the release of the updated anime schedule, which revealed that Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead episode 10, as well as the remaining two episodes, have not been assigned a release date. As a result of the persistent delays, it was anticipated that the 10th installment would go on hiatus. What is adding to the uncertainty is the lack of a fixed date for the return of the remaining three episodes.
