Re: Tokyo Magnitude 8.0
This was a very good series, after what I readily admit to being a judgemental beginning on my part where I was ready to call it 'too ordinary' before it really got going.
Very realistic throughout, very well thought through. Willing to tackle things many would rather not too: mass death, personal tragedy, metal balance, family seperation.
A refreshing change of scenery for me in some ways. Glad I watched it.

Re: Tokyo Magnitude 8.0
I can't recommend this series enough, it really is a great watch. It's so different to alot of other anime I've come across. There's no vast confusing worlds, monsters, world domination or crazy characters. It's a simple story about sibling relationships and how they survive a natural disaster.
