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.

this is definitely my most anticipated series of the summer.

Solid 1st episode. They did a very convincing job of teenager angst.

Very convincing indeed. It was almost getting annoying already, but fortunately the earthquake stopped it just in time. I doubt she will now have time for any angst for a little while. Though who knows what happens after she has found her brother and found out her parents' fate. If nothing else, at least she should have learned to be careful with what she wishes for...

The earthquake was also quite nicely depicted. Although it's not like I'd have ever witnessed one.

Yet another excellent series. Whats with this season? I'm lovin it. =D

Opening is awesome in my book.

It was oddly ordinary, yet very compelling too for some reason. Probably due to Yuuki's optimistic, happy and eager to please attitude.

Also, this series looks to be strong with a big focus on sibling bonds. Looking forward to it, it's rather unique. :>

The art style and the voices aren't entirely to my tastes, but this show does seem pretty realistic.

When they showed the girl refusing the item after someone else took it, I was thinking "that's so me". Got to love all that teenage pride.

I wasn't dissapointed. It was bloody fantastic. Too bad the earthquake was cut at half to bring the cliffhanger... oh well.

Hmm..I wonder is this is the only "what if?" anime out there. I'd be interested if there were others.

yeah, I definitely got that feeling too. I loved how like, realistic and ordinary the family was. it did such a good job of displaying this stagnant, boring, apathetic, selfish lifestyle.

man! that episode was just as fantastic as I was expecting it to be. I really like the artwork and voices.

easily my favorite show of the summer.

The opening art was brilliant and the episode was pretty exciting, even though we knew the earthquake was coming. Can't wait to see how things go for the brother. Maybe he's squashed like a pancake in the toilet. Also interesting how they mention the robots, that seem so familiar, and how they can traverse difficult terrain: exactly what they are going to need to clean up this mess of a city.

This is the show to watch this season.

Really, great first episode. And i love the artstyle. Somehow reminded me a BIT of Noein.

Do we know already what genre this show is? The "i wished the workd would be destroyed" and then everything starts made it seem "Eden of East"-ish, aka fantasy. But the rest seemed very realistic. I´d like both, just interested.

it's a "realistic"-"what if?" scenario genre.. that's what I'm saying.

yeah, I can definitely see the Noein in the art. especially in the mom.. I thought that character seemed super familiar, and it's definitely from the chick's mom in Noein.

Noein mom - mother in TM 8.0

and I have to agree that the OP was awesome. I liked how it was just like concept art, but it was still so good. I'd like to see more anime use this approach.

I just downloaded thism and the damn thing is skipping like crazy. I've got all the latest mkv stuff installed, and all the latest ffdshow stuff, but it's still skipping. VLC skips the video; zoom player and media classic skip the audio. How frustrating.

Nothing skipping for me. I downloaded it because of you guys talking about it and boy you were right! Excellent episode! Is this a series that is coming out? Was this just a teaser first episode? Are there going to be more released?!! AAAAHH!H!!

yeah, it's a series that's coming out, airing on TV weekly. expect weekly (or close to) episode releases.

Wow, first anime I've seen in a while, and first in a while that I plan to keep watching.

It was getting really annoying with the teenage angst thing, but that's because I'm older and forgot how life was at that age, though I was more optimistic and wide-eyed at that age than this girl seems to be. Of course, I didn't grow up in Japan as a teenager either.

I see that Anbu-Frostii have teamed up for this series. I am trying out their version to see what its like. Their encode is around 349 MB.

BSS - Episode 2

Good episode. Enjoyed the realism of the fallout from the disaster.

awman, that episode was so good.
