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.

Honestly I do not know how to start with Tokyo Magnitude 8.0....BUT!
There are two very strong elements made this show unforgettable!
First; the use of scientific research to simulate what would happened if an earthquake of 8.0 magnitudes would hit Tokyo... Most of destruction scenes, shaking ground and the affect afterwards... is just amazing!
Second; the story. It is based on humans’ relations, relation between child with parents, relation between brother and sister, relation between strangers. It gives the feeling of warmth. The feelings experienced in this show are true and we all could experience them. The last two episodes are the summary of all feelings and emotions experienced in the show.
Finally all I can say is "this is a show to be remembered!"
