Zom 100 Episode 8 is nearly here, and here’s exactly what you might be looking to learn about the much-awaited episode.

Zom 100 is returning with Episode 8 after a break of one week. However, it’s worth pointing out that even if fans based in Japan get the episode exactly on its scheduled release date and time, fans across the rest of the world will have to wait a little longer as the episode has been delayed for streaming platforms.

In the previous episode of the anime, we see how Shizuka somehow motivates Akira to stand up for his self-respect and stop feeding his boss’s ego. After he makes up his mind, his boss gets into a dire situation involving the extremely hungry flock of the undead.

After the super adventurous and hair-raising seventh episode, let’s see what the upcoming episode has in store for us.

What happened in Zom 100 Episode 7?

Akira starts working under a manipulative boss who spares no effort to make his life hell. He scolds him for every small thing. Even though Akira knows that he does not deserve it, he can’t take a stand. Akira recalls his childhood days when he wasn’t even allowed to keep a pet.

The episode also revealed several things from Shizuka’s past that showed us she also did not have a good childhood. Shizuka started living her life once again when she came across Akira. She was astonished to see Akira’s diary, where he had listed 100 things he wanted to do before getting zombified. Shizuka and Kencho try to convince Akira to resign, but he can’t make a decision until the former does something that makes him realize his mistake.

As soon as Akira gets ready to go with Kencho and Shizuka, they get surrounded by a huge crowd of ravenous zombies. Akira saves Kosugi, his former boss, but then heads on his new journey to Gunma.

What to expect from Zom 100 Episode 8?

As per the official website of Zom 100, Akira and his friends will go to Akira’s hometown, Gunma. There, they will first get a van, and then, as they continue with their road trip, they will come across a girl named Betrix Amerhauser.

She is another survivor, but it will be interesting to see if she’ll be an ally or an enemy to the group.

How to watch Crunchyroll from outside your location in 2023

Crunchyroll is the world’s best hub for streaming anime, whether it’s One PieceAttack on Titan, or Jujutsu Kaisen – and thanks to ExpressVPN, you can access the platform’s full library even if you’re outside the US.

If you’re abroad, here’s what you need to do to access Crunchyroll’s full selection – and it really is this simple: 

  1. Sign up for ExpressVPN, which has ultra-fast servers and offers a secure, private connection wherever you are in the world.
  2. Connect to a location anywhere in the US; Express VPN allows you to choose from 24 different spots, from New Jersey to Santa Monica.
  3. Visit Crunchyroll online and start streaming all of your favorite animes – and perhaps some you’ve never watched.

Accessing Crunchyroll’s US roster makes a difference. For example, Hong Kong users only have access to less than 100 titles, while the US has nearly 1,000 movies and TV shows. 

You can also stream anime on Crunchyroll for free with an ad-supported plan. Or you can pay for a subscription – there’s even a 14-day free trial if you can’t quite make up your mind.
