The premise of the project is the 70% or higher possibility that a magnitude 7.0 earthquake will occur in Tokyo in the next 30 years. The anime will depict what would happen if an 8.0 earthquake took place. The story will center on Mirai, a middle school freshman girl who goes to Tokyo’s artificial Odaiba Island for a robot exhibition with her brother Yutaka at the start of summer vacation. 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. With the help of a motorcycle delivery woman named Mari who they meet on Odaiba, Mirai and Yutaka strive to head back to their Setagaya home in western Tokyo.

WOW!!! What a "MIND-BLOWING" anime...(no wonder it was on Top Anime List last year o.0)
I've saw this anime without stopping! That was how captivated the story was. It shows real life situations WHEN/IF some big catastrophe were to happen. This anime have a lot of emotional moments: happy, joy, sad, chaotic, despair, dramatic, sorrow, pain, redemption and Hope...
The story is simply great, it doesn't have a lot of characters, but the ones there, really are the best. We can see how a human heart can change, endure and exceed the most hazardous situations. But it also shows that not everything goes the way it should and we hope, that's what makes this anime so realistic!
