I watched it. It was pretty good. =]
I can't wait for the next episode. I was wondering if the brother was alive, but after reading the summary in this thread, I was spoiled. =[
I'm shocked though, about an earthquake that strong most likely going to happen soon.

Wow, pretty slow, but easy going first episode. Ugh, another shorty...
lol, wow that little girl sure does have an issue with life.
I think it's really dumb to leave your little, younger brother alone in such a huge place by himself.
I hope nothing happens to him, but those images near the beginning could've been foreshadowing...

The artwork is very old school. Reminds me of something Studio Ghibli would create.
I'm trying to figure out the seiyu of the main girl, but I think Toyosaki Aki is Yuka? Just a feeling I guess.

8.0's are scary. At least in the SE, like FL, you have a Hurricane Warning, but the damage can be unavoidable regardless.

lol, Shin, no high flying action. I thought there was going to be something near the end when the bridge and windows broke,
which also leads me to a question: Is there a statue of liberty in Japan? I felt like it was NY during that trip to Odaiba.

What do you think of Planetarium?

Oh, I forgot to say this. RED TACHIKOUMAS!! Pre-Ghost In The Shell! XD

I laugh cause they're cool, and when she was playing with them, that lady yelled at her and she got so pissed off, lol.

Watch episode 2. If you want to know, her brother's okay, but wow finding him was annoying since Mirai kept on refusing to listen.
The OP rocks, still, can't wait for the release (always wanted to check 'em out, but heard negative things about them).

I wish more people would discuss and give their opinion about the series.
I finally got the chance to finished this series after putting it on-hold for 1 and half month.
It was really great, made me cry. I didn't expect the last two episodes to be like that, it breaks my heart.
Everyone should give this series a try since its only 11 episodes and realistic.

I wonder if this will happen in reality ^_^

If you apply the color you wish for to your own dead spot. We can bring back that color of the sky we used to have.
