[...] Its collapse implies way more than just the collapse of a landmark. This is what I said in the post for episode 3: This scene at the end is notable for the fact that the Tokyo Tower, long considered [...]

Murasaki’s the kid from Kure-nai. I should finish that someday, it was good.

Kitsune: Like I said on Twitter though I knew most of these already, just needed to check stuff for accuracy once again just in case I get the theories or situations wrong. Thanks though, but I will be blogging this because I really find it to be the best of summer, and well deserving since most seem to hit on it with bad thoughts just because they do not appreciate what the anime is trying to show them.

Jusuchin85: This was definitely not the first of its type, psgels mentioned one other too, and besides, there are any amount of disaster movies/series in the West. People are too used to special effects and “realism” on a different level of what is reality “realism”.

Shounen: Heh, I remember that one about chewing gum. Of course, Schmich probably was dead by the time they found that out. ;)

Shin: Who the hell is Murasaki?

She could have been the best real little girl since Murasaki.

I really like the analysis you did here. But:

Mary Schmich said it best, “Don’t worry about the future. Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum.”

I just can’t help but refer to how chewing gum slightly improves cognition. :p (Your point still stands, of course. :)

Another in-depth look at TM8.0, Panther-kun. The thing about the series is that it evolves slowly as episodes are shown week after week. Maybe the thing about “not taking this series seriously” could be because that since it’s the first series of its kind, it may take some time for viewers to digest its content and nature.

Then again, the sight of watching Mari being a mother-figure to the kids really shines here. Protective and acting maturely in situations makes her the heroine in the series. And it’s a good thing that Mirai is also beginning to accept Mari’s help (after all the selfless doubt shown on her).

Good observation re: Mirai and her phone! I can’t believe I missed that. GJ. Kudos on mentioning the bystander effect.

Wat. She’s still pretty much a biatch but who wouldn’t be in an earthquake. I might even be worse off. >_>

It looks like you enjoyed this episode and did some thorough research for writing up this article :) I am also blogging this anime tentatively. We’ll see how it goes.
