The premise of the project is the 70% possibility that a magnitude 7.0 earthquake will occur in Tokyo in the next 30 years. The anime depicts what would happen if an 8.0 earthquake took place.

I remember seeing _Tokyo Magnitude 8.0_ in 2009, right as it came out. I loved it. But this was before I started writing reviews, so I couldn't put my thoughts down on it. But it definitely cemented itself on the number four spot on my top favorite anime of all time, and it's definitely NOT easy for…
