OPENING #2 | Song of the Dead by KANA-BOON | Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead | VIZ 

Thriller?

@@iijason1245 doesn’t do it for me for some reason 🤔

Gotta love how even a few zombies look happy to be in it

Pvz was the best

@@perrypougins379 never played before

0:59 so that’s where that sxxt came from 😂👌

​@@NovasigmiaI GYAT STH IN MY EYES 👀

"Stock animation of zombies walking for 80% of the opening is totally what we intended as the opening, trust us bro!"

​@@OtakuJuanma2 I was really confused about that part. Glad this was just the WIP placeholder. The second part they had filled with clips from the anime worked really genuine though

was that the reason? I thought they did as to not spoil some future stuff. as the only scenes missing were the ones Bea was part of the group (outside of the hotspring shot at the start)

ironic lmao

@@daitsu-yo2wxhow is it ironic?

@@parad0x.76 zombies are dead. the show feels alive.

@@carrotsdrip omg dawg I’m so slow I thought the ironic part was that he didn’t have friends,, embarrassed bruh

​@@parad0x.76why do y'all have more likes than the guy who said it 😭

Agree

fact

Unironically want to have this played at my funeral

yes brother thats it, the theme is enjoy life and this music gives us that vibe

Replacing (most) of the blood with paint is such an amazing design choice.

Shizuka is a mood💀

In fact this opening version could show World War Z references and looking for the cure against that Zombie Virus

Akira: (Vibing) Kencho: (Along for the ride) Bea: (Genuinely nuts) Shizuka: (Seriously considering feeding them to the zombies)

無断転載だろ💢

We all hope we would be Bea but we all know we would be Shizuka.

I thought that this version of OPENING will show us an arc inspired on WORLD WAR Z

​@@filipjaworski9832well there is a company seen in the manga that's basically Umbrella, and yes, they're responsible for the zombie outbreak

agreed

Yes, the best is the op 3

Agreee

i was wondering if that was a Luffy thing, the cloud around his head immediately made me think of the straw hat, plus the sudden red outfit

Wait no you got it wrong, it's not a OnePiece reference at all. It's a Maguro Taniguchi reference (Vocalist of this very song, member of Kana-Boon, same band of Naruto Shiruetto OP). He is dressed up as him with a wig of his fluffy hair and distinctive red jacket.

@@pulisichhh It's kind of difficult to confirm both cases actually. Maybe it was even a double reference. Because in the scene it very much appears to be a hat, and I've never seen Maguro Taniguchi dressed like that, or wearing a similar wig. Just like I've never seen Luffy wear a jacket like that too. Anyway, while there is no confirmation, it's up to what pleases the eye. But I don't deny the possibility that that's really what you said. What really made me believe in the possibility is that the anime itself features several classic references to other works, such as the scene with the electrifying punch that Akira gave the shark, undeniably similar to Boku no Hero.

Actually this is the bes part 0:58

Strawhat = One Piece lmao ok

Jujutsu Kaisen opening 4.

@@arthurramirez5665 Nah. Jjk is overrated. The ops are great but this one slams

​@@arthurramirez5665lil bud said jjk 🤡

@@dr.cheesecake3024 both jjk openings are 1000 times better than this

@@ItachiUchiha-qm3nk The only opening in jjk to even compete with this is specialz and yet this one is still better

Goated Insomniac game

the way they mix those colors with zombies/violence is quite unexpected and fun; even tho there's an aspect of horror it brings some light heartedness and humor to the scene

Reminds me of Meiruko-chan’s OP. All bright paint, to cover up the creepy goop and blood.

Great comparison! I can’t believe I didn’t think of that.

I always liked how when zombies bleed they bleed bright saturated colours but when actual people die or bleed it's proper red blood. Makes it have more impact

This anime inspired me to start to do the things that I've been wanting to do, but were always pushed back because of work

Not Gona lie I have one problem what happens when they reach all 100 things to do will they die please no I hope they find a cure or something

@@doriankamanzi6874 Spoilers: They do try to find a cure after the village arc. That's Akira's promise to his father and is included in his bucket list.

It's bittersweet but I really appreciate this main message,the way the main cast finally tried to live their life to the fullest now without being shackled to the flow of society and its expectations. We aren't supposed to make it out of life alive afterall

@@gormok9558 yep. Memento Mori

as someone who is just generally impatient and binged the show in one sitting, i somehow didnt skip the opening for this series

I cried while laughing at this

@@archerino I know, I really enjoyed this series honestly. Hopefully the studio makes a comeback before the year is done.

Nah 😭😭😭, apparently they will still make episodes but they are just gonna make them really delayed, Especially ep10 they are making rn but it’s gonna be delayed sadly :( but yeah loved ya joke 😂😂😂

funniest comment I have seen all day,lmao

​@@ItsFadedXDthey ran out of broadcasting slots so i think they'll probably be back by next year

The season isn't over there's still several episodes left

@@RTembers41 true but it's on an indefinite hiatus

@@BladeBluryeah apparently they are probably going to make three more episodes (ep12) and that’s it, it’s probably going to be as short as season 1 of sk8, it’s just going to be delayed alot

no it is delayed indefinitely, it may never return@@blupaboo1563

It was already stated to have 12 episodes

Me too😊

オリー！！

Thriller by Michael Jackson?

They got that Thriller Fever

Did I just witness the Michael Jackson style thriller dance in one of the most animes in 2023?? 0:43

IM IN!!

Agreed!!

YES

HECK YEAH!!

*id rather get eaten by a zombie

how is it handled?

@@mfmr200 production delays caused the show to lose its time slot for this winter season, so the show has been put on an "indefinite hiatus" after only releasing 9 out of the 12 episodes for its first season

​@@Karnagieoooh noo, just hope they don't cancel the show

​@@tales_zero_milesno bro they announced the remaining episodes will release on 25 dec

oh no, the animation company isn't rushing and overworking their employees to meet their deadline. Such poor handling ;-;

Akira and Shizuka: Waiting outside Kencho: inside and beginning to undress Beatrix: Cleared out all the zombies so they could use the bath house

OMG, I ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ THIS OP😂😂😂

1:00 iconic moment

fun fact, theres a rubber duck inframe with all characters but Akira.

crazy detail- this is probably one of the top ops of all time

not that deep

But thanks for saving me man i was told to write an essay about anything so i chose to write about this anime so with your blessing. Sir. May i steal your comment to further my education and to bring a piece of this anime woth me to school

​​@@ninjanamedbob2407I'm going to respond to you sincerely, and I mean no harm. It's just genre and media literacy. To put it simply, art isn't made in a vacuum. It can and does exist as an expression of the artist and the times. Interesting examples would be the popularity of gangster films during The Great Depression, Nuclear anxiety stories during the Cold war, even super hero films in reaction to 9/11 in America. This is a very common part of academic discussion. It's also an observation of trends by genre critics. I highly recommend Intro to Film Criticism by Tim Bywater and Thomas Sobchack if this interests you.

Seriously, it's absolutely amazing how Zom 100 has defied the usual tropes and worldview of the genre.

@@ninjanamedbob2407it literally is lol the whole zombie apocalypse is just a background drop to the point/theme/message of the show of escaping the monotony of everyday adult life and chasing your passion and living a fulfilling life. The show isn’t even subtle about it (which isn’t a bad thing)

exactly

Should also check out Kekkai Sensen’s ending

Let’s learn the zombie dance and have our fill of fun!

Classic. The ending that's more popular than the anime itself@@adellongino9413

I really wanna learn the Dance the main character is doing

gyat

real snails house - hot milk - moment

Just reading about omni pose. I think the meme from Broly in Drgon Ball doing the same pose predates it?

@@NoaWarrior yep, the broly one came first

@@faiqalqisti6701 viewers came first

I feel like the OP only being changed to the current one as the crew has finally been fully assembled makes a lot of sense. Before all 4 of our MCs got together the OP would have felt off and the personalities shown in the OP might have ruined the expectations for the character in the actual show, but because they waited until everyone was introduced and their journey together has truelly gegone, it feels so much better watching them goof around in the OP.

Definitely the Truck Driver from RE

Who is that

@@cocacolaowo318 0:18?

@@usopp9837 k

theyre homies

Zombie dance 😂

This anime could've been one of the biggest this season if it wasn't for the release schedule which puts it under many people's radar or drop-list. In a few years, this anime will be buried under everything else that has been released and will probably be a "hidden gem" anime unfortunately.

​@@nintee9877so no season 2?

@@alchemistofsteel8099season one isn’t over. It’s on a indefinite hiatus. Scheduling issues and being a brand new production company have led to some problems. A few episodes release dates were pushed back a week so now they ran out of time during their expected tv time slot for the summer season as the fall season is now starting.

So that's why I have been left they are possibly on hiatus

​@@alchemistofsteel8099theres no confirmation on that yet, we just know its on hiatus for season 1 we dont knoe it anything will happen for season 2

the whole feeling of watching this anime feels like Zombieland itself www

I knew I wasn't the only one who thought that was a reference

@@vinne6312 True even though the opening has a lot of references this two specifically caught my eye 😂

1:01 This seems to be a reference to KANA-BOON's vocalist.

i had to think about luffy a little bit haha when i saw this because i thought that on the head kinda looked like the strawhead

Bro, this guy also have the Demon Back😭

Hope you know the show finished all 12 of its episodes like half a year ago

Broly*

Hahahaha

Think Mark!

Bara pose

Wait what's the one piece easter egg? I only saw kencho doing the omniman meme

@@Si_Jakurambit it's Akira with his guitar and seemingly wearing a straw hat, with his jacket changing from his regular green color, to the iconic red jacket Luffy has, also he kinda smiles like Luffy would, but it goes by pretty quickly between 1:01 and 1:03

This seems to be a reference to KANA-BOON's vocalist.

Not to mention kencho doing the double cheeked up broly stance

one piece reference

Zombieland Saga is also a fun anime you might want to check out. It's a mash up of idol and zombie anime with a lot of comedy and heart. Sounds weird, and it is, but personally I liked it.

@@TheSquirrelbeast I know about Zombieland Saga. Not an Idol guy so I didn’t watch it.

fr the vibes are imaculate

Even the ones who don't want to dance, looking at you Shizuka

yeah.... about that....

Well… ahem… the first episode is probably what was actually happening to them.

souda！

The mc makes me happy

Only if it was already in episode 1 now it's on hiatus and everyone will forget this anime after it returns back I just know it 😭

Part of me thinks it's an RE2 reference, but I could be wrong

That Christmas finale
