ZOM 100 Bucket List of the Dead. The cast are almost all in their twenties and it’s genuinely one of the best shows to come out in the past few years. It’s a class-conscious, pro-social schlocky b-movie zombie story that continuously interrogates its own premise (a burnt out wageslave and other people who were also miserable with their careers setting out after the end of the world to do everything they never got to do, before it’s too late) in an almost dialectical process to arrive at a tempered version of it that centers helping others while still trying to enjoy what time one has left in the face of the apocalypse. The manga is amazing, and the anime is gorgeously animated and incredibly stylish.
Sakamoto Days is probably the best show of the past season, and focuses on a middle aged retired hitman and his I’m assuming twenty something psychic sidekick. It’s creative, gorgeously animated, and very funny all throughout.

+1 for Sakamoto Days (and the banger theme song)
