Who is Akira Tendo in Zom 100?
Akira Tendo is the primary character of Zom 100: Bucket List of the Dead. He is someone with whom every corporate employee can relate. To be more precise, like every career-oriented person, Akira looked energetic and full of enthusiasm on the first day at his new job. But soon, he realizes that his company is full of robots who work day and night, neglecting their mental and physical health. Akira is forced to do the same, which also makes him get suicidal thoughts. A scene straightforwardly shows us an exhausted Akira, who wants to sleep forever so he doesn't have to go to the office the other day.
One day, when Akira goes to pay the bill for the parking space, he finds out that the entire place is full of zombies. Initially, he runs to save himself from getting killed, but after a few minutes, he feels happy when he realizes he doesn't have to go to the exploitative workplace anymore. Isn't it terrifying seeing someone ready to easily give up on their life to get rid of their office? But that's what Akira Tendo is precisely like.
wasn’t expecting the 1st episode of Zom 100 to be this insane when it comes to the animation and direction. don’t even get me started the camera angles and pov shots..
