| What are people's opinions on this anime? I personally watched it a little while ago with no prior experience with the Japan Sinks franchise or the director Masaaki Yuasa's previous works. Overall I thought it was OK, but with some major issues. Specifically, the rate at which characters died meant that there was never much time to get to know them and therefore care about their deaths. The weird cult episodes in the middle of the anime were also kind of boring and unnecessary with almost nothing important plot-wise happening. I am definitely interested in finding out how similar the show is to the past Japan Sinks films and novels though and if it is better or worse than them. |

| What can I say expect it sank. Literally. |
 I said keep your hands on the table |
| I haven't even watched it and my brain immediately thought "don't you mean Japan Stinks 2020?" so that should be a pretty good indicator of the general consensus. Also Yuasa was just an assistant director in practice, Pyeonggang Heo was the (debuting) director for this. |
| It was promising, but not well executed. |
| Easily the worst anime Yuasa has his name attached with, so far. |
 |
| Damn the japan stinks joke was already made on this thread. |

| So, we're 0 for 2 when it comes to catastrophic earthquake anime, then?! Haven't watched this, but Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 sucks. |

DatRandomDude said: Easily the worst anime Yuasa has his name attached with, so far. agree, i cant believe he made this mess... the same guy that made devilman crybaby, eizouken, kaiba, ping pong, the tatami galaxy and more made THIS. so disappointing. by far the worst series hes ever worked on. |

| I kinda liked the first two episodes and the last few episodes, they were absolutely 10/10 but the middle especially the cult arc. Definitely not Yuaasa's best work. |

| This was a funny rollercoaster, too bad it became good. |

| I liked it at first but it has so many flaws and plot holes that it started to bother me. 6/10 for sure |
 |
| Japan Sinks was really good at the beginning especially the first two episodes. But I really did not enjoy how every character got treated, everything was so predictable. You just knew that the story telling and the little character development before hand would ultimately lead to a death. And the facial expressions was terrible, and oh my god that little kid who could just not stop speaking broken engrish. The piano sound track was fire to be honest tho. |

| Got to Ep.03 and the plot nonsense is killing me! The first 2 were Ok, even if they were (as mentioned) pretty inconsistent from moment to moment. Jumping around wildly is ok, if there's a reason for it. After Kite arrives it's just nonsense. Doesn't she still have to pee? Or was that a ruse to look after her leg? Doesn't Kite know of a safe place? hasn't he been flying around for days? I suspect Ep.04 may be the last for me, it's getting hard to overlook the many dumb things. Didn't they look the storyboards over for glaring holes? :/ |
