Carries Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead in the US
July is a jam-packed month for new anime releases, and arguably one of the most anticipated is the adaptation of Haro Aso’s horror-comedy manga Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead, which hits screens around the world this weekend.
The show follows the story of Akira, a 20-something office worker on the brink of burnout from his dull job. His previously humdrum life gets turned upside down when Tokyo gets hit by a zombie apocalypse.
Embracing the unexpected turn of events, Akira decides to tick off items on a bucket list of everything he wants to experience firsthand before the undead manage to get to him.
The release of the anime version proceeds an eagerly anticipated live-action adaptation of Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead that’s set to hit Netflix in August.

How to watch Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead from anywhere on VPN
So, what if you’re traveling outside your home country and want to enjoy the show or want an added layer of privacy for streaming? There’s an option that doesn’t require searching the internet for a sketchy website: You can use a VPN, or virtual private network.
With a VPN, you’re able to virtually change your location on your phone, tablet or laptop to get access to the show. If you find yourself unable to watch locally, a VPN can come in handy. It’s also a great idea for when you’re traveling and find yourself connected to a Wi-Fi network and want to add an extra layer of privacy for your devices and logins.
Most VPNs, like CNET’s Editors’ Choice, ExpressVPN, make it easy to virtually change your location. Looking for other options? Be sure to check out CNET’s roundup of the best VPN deals.

Tips for streaming Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead using a VPN
- With four variables at play — your ISP, browser, video streaming provider and VPN — experience and success may vary.
- If you don’t see your desired location as a default option for ExpressVPN, try using the “search for city or country” option.
- If you’re having trouble viewing after you’ve turned on your VPN and set it to the correct viewing area, there are two things you can try for a quick fix. First, log in to your streaming service subscription account and make sure the address registered for the account is located in the correct viewing area. If not, you may need to change the physical address on file with your account. Second, some smart TVs, like Roku, don’t have VPN apps you can install directly on the device itself. Instead, you’ll have to install the VPN on your router or the mobile hotspot you’re using (like your phone) so that any device on its Wi-Fi network now appears in the correct viewing location.
- All the VPN providers we recommend have helpful instructions on their main site for quickly installing the VPN on your router. In some cases with smart TV services, after you install a network’s app, you’ll be asked to verify a numeric code or click a link sent to your email address on file for your smart TV. This is where having a VPN on your router will also help, since both devices will appear to be in the correct location.
- And remember, browsers can often give away a location despite using a VPN, so be sure you’re using a privacy-first browser to log in to your services. We normally recommend Brave.
