Anyone watching Tokyo Magnitude 8.0?

I gotta say, I wasn't that into the first episode (until near the end) but the second episode was an absolute doozy...

Haven't seen an anime with quite this sense of terror and fear since Barefoot Gen... Not that I'm comparing it to BG as far as overall quality, but still this was damned good.

I haven't seen episode two. But I'm definitely anticipating it to be awesome. The end of episode one gave me a feeling of slight "terror". I hope two is great.

ZeroRyoko1974 · July 22nd, 2009, 07:02 PM

Yes, and I wish someone would slap that girl straight

Onigiri · July 22nd, 2009, 07:13 PM

Yes and it is quite good so far. I haven't seen episode 3 yet and I'm curious about her parent's situation. You know, if they're alive or missing.

I love the milf that appeared, she is freakin awesome. Im looking forward to more of this.

What amazes me about the little girl, is that she didnt seem to learn her lesson yet...I almost hope she finds the twisted remains of her parents...well maybe thats too harsh...

I think Mirai is just your typical condescending preteen feeling themselves out, she'll come around

sort of does in 3 which expands the devastation a little more while still giving us some flicker of light, as I said before this show really knows how to capture the fear and mass hysteria very well.
Those 2 are lucky to have such a cool adult like Mari around.

Episode 3:

I love how these aftershocks are perfectly placed as plot devices with each episode.

Anyways, just got back from episode four. It's going pretty good so far.

Great scene, but one thing about that kinda had me slapping my forehead.

Oh no, a giant metal tower thing is falling down towards me. *takes a step to the side* ok, safe now

I thought the same thing! Seriously they ran perpendicular to the fall! I know they're young, but Mirai is like 13! She should've been smart enough to realize that a horizontal escape would be much more favorable.

TOKYO – A strong earthquake shook Japan's capital and surrounding areas Sunday, halting trains and a professional baseball game, but there were no immediate reports of damage or casualties.

There was no threat of a tsunami from the quake, which was centered at a depth of 188 miles (303 kilometers) in the Izu islands off the eastern coast of Japan, the U.S. Geological Survey said.

The USGS measured the quake at magnitude 7.1, while the Japan Meteorological Agency put it at 6.9.

The quake, which rattled furniture and walls in Tokyo homes, hit at 7:56 p.m. (1056 GMT) and shook the capital region, including Ibaraki, Saitama, Tochigi and Chiba prefectures, the Japanese agency said.

A baseball game in Yokohama between the Yokohama Bay Stars and Chunichi Dragons was stopped temporarily by the umpire when the quake struck. Some high-speed bullet trains also were halted, but began running again after the shaking stopped, public broadcaster NHK said.

Japan is one of the world's most earthquake-prone countries, and experts believe Tokyo has a 90 percent chance of being hit by a major quake over the next 50 years.

In 1995, a magnitude-7.2 quake in the western port city of Kobe killed 6,400 people.

Episode five was pretty good. Glad to see our girl is finally starting to develop out of her brat-phase. I was a little touched by it, actually.

Ep 10.

Watching the highway collapse and the entire boat of survivors get capsised by the wave was pretty scary... __________________ "You told me I couldn't kill you, but I'd like to try and prove you wrong!

GokuMew2 Seiyuu/BL nut ♀ Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Saitama, Japan Posts: 1,233	Ep 10. YUUKI!!! .T_________T Well, there were subtle hints. The only one I really noticed was that at the end of ep 9, Mari was holding Yuuki's bag yet in ep 10 (and the end of 9 but I didn't notice it then) Yuuki was wearing it and Mirai referred to the birthday present they got for their mom. That gave me the feeling that Yuuki was dead and Mirai was just hallucinating. I also did wonder why Yuuki wasn't shown at the end of ep 8 even though he was ahead of both Mari and Mirai, but it didn't click then. Great series. They used Yuuki's death very effectively. __________________ < GokuMew2 > FanimeCon Guest Relations the CROSS WITH YOU network - Nani ga ore wo konna ni atsuku saseru?
