Episode 2

Bucket List of the Dead (バケットリスト オブ ザデッド) is the second episode of Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead anime adaptation.

Synopsis
Akira, in an attempt to make up for three years of lost vacation, starts drinking and lazing around during the day, oblivious to the chaos of the world. However, he runs out of beer. As he escapes from zombies and arrives at a convenience store, he encounters a mysterious woman there.

Summary
Akira wakes up from a nightmare and realizes he doesn't have to go to work because of the zombie apocalypse. While enjoying himself by drinking beer and tidying up his home, a news reporter is shown reporting on the chaos caused by the zombie apocalypse, but she gets attacked and perishes. After witnessing this, Akira briefly ponders his situation before the thought of having more beer comes to mind.

Unfortunately, Akira runs out of beer, so he reluctantly leaves his home to get more. On a nearby balcony, a couple who haven't turned into zombies yet spot Akira hanging around one of their poles. He explains his situation and plans to them, promising to bring them some supplies after his trip to the store.

At the store, Akira notices a girl drinking water. While grabbing beer, he tries to exchange numbers with her. However, she refuses and reprimands him for risking his life for beer. She makes it clear that she wouldn't team up with someone who doesn't have their priorities straight. Ignoring her comments, Akira faces a group of zombies entering the store. In a surprising turn of events, she grabs Akira and saves him from a truck crashing into the store to eliminate the zombies. Akira expresses gratitude, but he realizes that his bike has been damaged by the truck's impact.

Finding a motorcycle, Akira uses it to return to the Kosakas' place, the couple he encountered earlier. Unfortunately, their home is covered in blood and severely damaged, leading him to realize they are either dead or turned into zombies. Feeling disheartened, he goes back home and contemplates his life. He retrieves his bucket list and begins crossing off 33 items before going to bed.

We are then taken to a flashback featuring the girl Akira met at the store. She is working out and listening to the emergency broadcast on her radio. Attempting to contact the L.A. station, she receives no response. So, she spends time jotting down activities to avoid turning into a zombie. With her binoculars, she analyzes the different types of zombies outside and takes notes. Eventually, she leaves her home to gather essential supplies but feels tempted to indulge in one of her favorite desserts, Sakura Mochi.

Suddenly, Akira enters the store, singing his beer song, and we see the situation from the girl's perspective through the camera on her bike. She spots the car before it collides with the store. After returning home, she reviews the footage and notices Akira just before he entered the building. She wonders if she should have gotten the Sakura Mochi at the store.
