Editor's P/S
As a hard fan of Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead, I am thrilled that the first season of the manga has finally concluded. The last three episodes, released on Christmas, were particularly exciting as they showed Akira and his friends successfully preventing a major disaster in the village. I can't wait to see what the future holds for these characters and what new challenges they will face.
I am also impressed with how faithful the anime adaptation has been to the source material. The changes that were made had no substantial impact on the storyline, and I appreciated the subtle references to other franchises like Resident Evil and actor Ryan Gosling. I am confident that the second season of the anime will be just as good as the first, and I can't wait to see more of Akira's journey to complete his bucket list before becoming a zombie.
