Tokyo Magnitude 8.0


Air-date in Japan: 7/9/2009
Anime Status: Ongoing

Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 is another summer anime I'm anticipating. Based off the concept of what would happen if Tokyo were hit with a magnitude 8 earthquake (paralleling Tokyo's actual 70% quake chance) , the storyline follows a small girl named Miria. The anime opens up with Miria and her brother on Yutaka on Odaiba island at a robot exhibition. As the tremor begins Tokyo tower and rainbow bridge crumble and the landscape of Tokyo changes instantly. With the aid of a motorcycle delivery woman named Mari, Mirai and Yutaka struggle to find their way back to their home in western Tokyo.
Supposedly the directing company (Bones - the same people who created Cowboy Bebop and Ghost in the Shell: Standalone Complex) is attempting to make the anime as realistic as possible by creating computer generated sims of the actual buildings of Tokyo.
.
Thus, whether you are into anime or just like to watch buildings crumble into the dust, this should be the show for you!
.
For those of you who haven't seen the trailor, it looks pretty sweet. As mentioned, this one will be on my watch list.
