Episode 4 of Zom 100 Delayed Due to Production Difficulties

Toxic work culture is a common problem everywhere, but especially in Japan. Zom 100 was able to depict this issue masterfully. The main protagonist was more ready to combat zombies than work for his company anymore.

The new concept of colorful zombies has attracted quite a few people. Zom 100 quickly rose to fame, with many fans awaiting new episodes. However, there is a production difficulty causing a delay in the release of the fourth episode. Here are all the details you need to know about the situation.

The official Twitter account for the anime, Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead announced that the premiere of its fourth episode will be delayed to July 31 at 2:00 a.m. PDT (5:00 a.m. EDT) on the Crunchyroll, Hulu, and Netflix streaming services.

It is due to production difficulties. The anime’s fourth episode will still air during its regular schedule in Japan on Sunday, July 30 at 5:00 p.m. JST, but is also similarly delayed on some Japanese streaming services.

Sometimes, minor glitches like this are inevitable, considering how much work goes into making every anime episode. All we can do is curb our excitement a little more and wait till Monday to see our man live his life to the fullest.
