| Since it’s founding in 2005, Noitamina has proved on several occasions that the shows airing in its timeslot are arguably among the best works in every season, be it spring, summer or winter. Thanks to Noitamina, anime viewers have been treated to a variety of works ranging from “Honey and Clover” to “Nodame Cantabile” to “Eden of the East”. Most followers would know that the aim of the Noitamina time slot was to increase the demographic of anime viewers from the teenage males to adults. And with Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, Noitamina has proved yet again that it is up to this task very well. I have seen around four shows of 2009 so far, and this is easily the best seinen anime that has come out this year.

| I will now promise to never overlook an anime that I think will be uninteresting. This is the second time I've passed over an anime numerous times thinking I wouldn't like it and it turns out that it is very, very good.
For anyone looking for a realistic anime, in which the characters seem almost real. This is the show for you. It doesn't even seem like an anime most of the time. It seems more like a simulation. Of course...it actually is based off of a whole lot of data from simulations.
Seriously though, anime is making me a freakin' cry baby. First it's Saikano, then Air, and now Tokyo Magnitude 8.0.

| If you can stomach Mirai's whining for the first couple episodes, and the relatively bland middle episodes, you'll be paid off in spades for watching their journey through to the end. In the end it caught me off guard how much I ended up caring about their struggle to get home and be with their families. The show subtly works its cast under your skin so you genuinely feel happy/sad for them.
It didn't feel like I was watching anime at all. The people and setting seem so real that it is almost boring. But the empathy you end up feeling is equally as real.
I almost dropped the show at episode 7... then later marathoned the last 4. Do not miss out on this. TM8.0 is an exceptional show for this past season. If you can care about people at all, you should watch it.
My only complaints are aesthetic: Mari's lips and the CG pedestrians.
