It was announced on Wednesday, August 2, 2023, that Zom 100 episode 5 would be delayed by one week. Originally, the episode was supposed to be released on Sunday, August 6. The series will instead air a short special program titled 100 Things You Need to Prepare to Run Away from Zombies on the earlier scheduled release date at 5 pm Japanese Standard Time.
It’s currently unknown whether or not streaming services that have been offering the anime series will also be streaming the aforementioned special once it airs in Japan. In any case, fans can expect these streaming services to continue adding new episodes of the series to their platforms once Zom 100 episode 5 airs on August 13.
The news about Zom 100 episode 5 being delayed by one week was announced by the series’ official Twitter account. The program is a television anime adaptation of author Haro Aso and illustrator Kotaro Takata’s original manga series. It premiered in Japan on July 9 and has been licensed by Viz Media for distribution in North America, Latin America, Australia, and New Zealand.
