I felt the last episode was terribly manipulative. My usual weepy self was nowhere to be found. Good show, just not near my favorite.

Description
The premise of the project is the 70% or higher possibility that a magnitude 7.0 earthquake will occur in Tokyo in the next 30 years. The anime will depict what would happen if an 8.0 earthquake took place. The story will center on Mirai, a middle school freshman girl who goes to Tokyo’s artificial Odaiba Island for a robot exhibition with her brother Yutaka at the start of summer vacation. A powerful tremor emanates from an ocean trench, the famed Tokyo Tower and Rainbow Bridge crumble and fall, and the landscape of Tokyo changes in an instant. With the help of a motorcycle delivery woman named Mari who they meet on Odaiba, Mirai and Yutaka strive to head back to their Setagaya home in western Tokyo.

Well, wasn't this a teary ride. It almost feels as if they were trying too hard to make everyone cry.
natsuneko watched Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (episode 10)
This is so heart-wrenching. So painful.
natsuneko watching Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (episode 10)
Slowly but surely, I am able to hear Sawashiro Miyuki EVERYWHERE. I am 100% positive that this mum is voiced by Cloche.
natsuneko watched Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (episode 09)
And the preview to ep10 probably revealed the cause of death of our universally proclaimed sanctity. First time I've heard of Crush syndrome, too.
natsuneko watched Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (episode 09)
Shit, I had completely forgotten how emotional it was. Manly tears came quite fast. I need more COURAGE for ep 10.

RyanA completed Tokyo Magnitude 8.0
Wow, it's over. A reminder of life. Quite a heartfelt rounding and likely will be flourish in retrospect. I'm not sure if the series will be Top 5 on the year, but I'm leaning towards a recommend for various reason. We'll see.
RyanA watched Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (episode 11)
Yuuki ga miteru! <- I so called that! Pretty dramatic finale, I feel it.
53RG10 watched Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (episode 10)
Although I knew it all along...damn you spoilars...it was still a tense episode.
RyanA watched Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (episode 10)
YUUKI HAMMER! T_T The entire episode, from start to finish, emits such a sad, sad tone. *sigh*
araeli watching Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (episode 10)
I know I'm not the only one who was hoping for the best and fearing for the worst regarding Yuuki, but man, the reality was still hard to swallow.
53RG10 watched Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (episode 09)
FFFFFF!!! Dang, cliffhanger! Oooooh can't wait for next episode!
RyanA watched Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (episode 09)
God, this was stressful, but it's... Mari's side of the story was pretty damn dramatic. Saa~, the puzzle is forming, and the sadness is manifesting deep. :(
natsuneko watched Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (episode 08)
.......I wonder if I would have had these precise suspicions, had they not been hinted on twitter....
RyanA Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (episode 08)
Saving Private Ryan was good because everybody died, and died at precisely the right moments. Sure there was high-tension, but it wasn't tension stringing the viewer along. Something was unnecessary in this episode, I'm not sure what yet.
RyanA watched Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (episode 08)
Delusional wreckage.. GAAAAAH! I'm not sure what this was trying to accomplish, but it was pretty complicated. The dramatics are through the roof, but I feel some of the overall composure has been lost. Why so serious? etc
natsuneko watched Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (episode 07)
By the way, I thought that Mirai finally found her love. They're alike, after all... Although, I'm not sure she'd last long enough with a robot otaku :) But yeah, back to cliffhangeritis, cue episode 08.
natsuneko watched Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (episode 07)
Especially during catastrophes, illnesses and pandemics are prone to proliferation... Oh well. I already know that the next ep will offer a fuckload of stuff to conjecture about, so I'll leave it at that for now.
natsuneko watched Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (episode 07)
Now wasn't THAT a cliffhanger, huh... But eh, just seems like an unhealthy combination of fever, stress, and obvious anxiety. Unless the presence of the mice in the beginning of the ep didn't presage anything bad...
RyanA watched Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (episode 07)
Gah! Nerve-wracking as hell. That damn Kento, running all over the place. Huge drama-factor, but there has been foreshadowing. Also, the scene in the Frog-Umbrella house has a special element; a slight sadness.
natsuneko watching Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (episode 06)
Apart from that, Mirai's sudden change of heart felt a little out of character initially, but that's perhaps because I have never seen her smile as much as she did in this ep. She was pretty understanding, too.
natsuneko watching Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (episode 06)
Good ep. At first I thought she projected the image of her daughter onto Mirai (and an imaginary son as Yuuki), but it's just an extrapolation of that "I can't leave you behind" from her husband-to-be in the past.
natsuneko watched Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (episode 05)
This episode was quite heart-rending, and even caused a couple of tears to gather. Very emotional moments, magnified by the music. (In fact, I believe it's the music that does the trick) Mirai probably realized now that it is not the time to be selfi
RyanA watched Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (episode 06)
A bit more of Mari is fine too. Feels like they are getting close, but it's still very dangerous :/ Mari is pushing so hard, but I'm sure a familiar face was good for her mood... and memories :)
natsuneko watched Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (episode 04)
Mirai is such an interesting character, actually. She rejects sympathy and pity, but indirectly wants to be pitied, too. Too bad Yuuki isn't mature enough to find the right words to comfort her.
natsuneko watched Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (episode 04)
Ok, they probably still haven't realized that their solo escapades may end in death, but especially Mirai and Yuuki seem to run into the most lethal situations. And barely escape, too.
natsuneko watched Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (episode 04)
Apart from that funny scene, this ep blew it a little. Although, don't we all have those days where everything seems to go wrong, whatever you do? No wonder Mirai snapped. But then again, she's exaggerating a little now.
natsuneko watching Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (episode 04)
KEITAI TOIRE! The expression on Mirai's face is priceless. And Yuuki's pooping imitation adds the cherry on top of the cake xD
natsuneko watched Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (episode 03)
Besides, this episode went in a flash. I absolutely did not see time pass. Doesn't happen often, and is definitely a good thing. Cue episode 04.
