Earlier, it was confirmed that Zom 100 episode 9 will be delayed due to production concerns and streaming service issues. Although the anime will still be aired on Japanese television as per the original schedule, viewers will have to wait until Monday to watch the latest episode.
This is not the first instance in which Bug Films anime has encountered these problems. Episodes four through eight have also experienced similar issues. This is concerning because it not only highlights the difficulties faced by the animation staff, but it has also diminished the show's momentum, which had initially started with great enthusiasm in the summer lineup.
Zom 100 premiered on July 9 and was licensed for Western release by Viz Media, with Crunchyroll and Hulu handling streaming duties. The series has faced numerous challenges, as evidenced by ongoing delays in the release of chapters, which is particularly noteworthy considering the demanding nature of Japanese animation studios.

Zom 100's diminishing hype due to the delays is disheartening, considering how well-received its premise and story were. The juxtaposition of Akira Tendo's bleak existence at 24 years old and the opportunity to embrace life to the fullest amidst a zombie apocalypse is both amusing and captivating, delighting many initially.
Bug Films' animation showcased moments of brilliance, leading many to believe that this could be the studio's standout success. However, unfortunate circumstances have altered this trajectory for the worse.
Now is the time to see if the franchise can pick up after such a rocky start, although these delays are certainly not helping.
