I commented on an article and kinda wrote alot on Tokyo Magnitude 8.0… on The Banzai! Effect, dun wanna waste it so I’ll post it here too!

I disagree with your review…

TM8.0 had done well from start to finish and ended realistically, just like an disaster with the last few episode showing very good directorship.

It happened with a bang just like you said but it soon starts to turn into a struggle for survival, with the climax over and the mess left behind. TM8.0 is almost like that, where the process of the cleaning the mess is the important part. The emotions portrayed in this process is very well done.

I personally am touched at how Mirai grown up from the stubborn girl to an understanding, independent and optimistic girl before throwing her back into the depths of darkness.

The many minor characters along the way also showed that the Japanese people are united and forward looking, rather then dwelling in the past… You might not remember the names of the minor characters, but for me atleast, they have left to me a deep impression, examples like the Robo-Otaku, the Elder couple, the kind army driver or even that cute Office Temp.

There are also ugly people but luckily they are not really featured.

If it can leave us with such a deep impression and the hope of not a bleak future in-case something bad happened…. Human spirit will conquer all!

But Like the show pointed out, what has happen is now gone… We must live for the future. Let look forward to the next season of animes!

Wooh! looks like i wrote alot… .. … sorry…
