Ep 6 of ‘Zom 100’ Features a Surprise Cross Over with ‘Zombie Land Saga’

Zom 100 is one of the most popular anime this season, but it is also one of the only anime facing repeated delays. However, this week, the fans were in for a pleasant surprise with episode six.

If you are a zombie genre fan, you must be familiar with the outlandish and exciting Zombie Land Saga. Zom 100 and Zombie Land Saga feature a unique take on the zombies, and these anime are crossing over. Let’s find out more in detail about this information.

The latest episode of Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead featured cameos from the members of Franchouchou: Kaede Hondo, Asami Tano, Risa Taneda, Maki Kawase, Rika Kinugawa and Minami Tanaka.

The voice actresses all voiced zombie roles in the latest episode. The only Franchouchou member not represented was The Legendary Tae Yamada. For those unfamiliar, Franchouchou is a zombie idol group with seven singers from “Zombie Land Saga.”

The Twitter account for Zombie Land Saga also posted an illustration to commemorate the collaboration.

The Twitter account for Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead teased the fans by asking if they could figure out when the voice actresses appeared in the episode.

The sixth episode premiered in Japan on Sunday. However, the episode hasn’t been released on streaming services, including Netflix, Hulu, and Crunchyroll, due to production circumstances.

Zom 100 is an excellent anime with colorful zombies and a beautiful take on life. It is standing on top of all the anime this season. The production difficulties are a problem, but that shouldn’t detract from completing the show.

Anime studios need to put a lot of effort into completing a show. And production difficulties are bound to happen with the amount of work that goes into these projects. It wouldn’t be right to bash these shows, and we should focus on these little surprises that the staff have left for us.
