As the first few episodes of Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead begin, it definitely has a lot of style. This zombie apocalypse is fresh and filled with color — depicting bloodshed in the apocalypse differently from other anime. It gives Akira Tendo’s survival mission a lot more life and a distinct, unique identity to match his witty personality.However, there’s a nuanced message in play as well. Zom 100 has an anti-capitalist story at its core, playing on those who get frustrated by traffic, the monotonous nine-to-five, and being overworked in general. Interestingly, as Akira’s adventure begins, it nods heavily to what transpired in a popular comic book: Mark Millar’s Wanted.Wanted (from Millar and J.G. Jones) depicted the sordid life of Wesley Gibson. He hated his office job, and he had an abusive boss. She demeaned him constantly, and Wesley’s colleague and “best friend” was actually sleeping with his girlfriend. The sad thing is, Wesley knew, but he didn’t mind taking the guy’s extra assignments or suffering emotionally under the boss. After all, he just wanted purpose and meaning in this mundane world. This made the 2008 film adaptation starring James McAvoy so relatable, as audiences connected to this rote way of living.RELATED: Dragon Ball Z’s Exploration Of Saiyan History Means Goku Shouldn’t Have Been The Main Character
