| i think this can get interesting |
| An interesting first episode, I'll continue watching this show. The faces were a bit strange, but the plot looks pretty good. |
| It seems like it will develop into a nice storyline. The art seems quite similar to Higashi no Eden. Looks like the studio likes making 'apocalyptic' anime? |
| A first episod really enjoyable ! =) I liked very much the realistic side of this show. |

| Earthquake? interesting how the ppl of Tokyo did not get a warning , unless it was a sudden quake , that would be a different story |

bla bla bla The endless debate between fans and haters. At one point, after spending a lot of time on MAL, you just realize it's totally pointless.Niko-kun said: On MAL, everyone who has used the lame rating system becomes a critic and an intellectual by default, haven't you heard? |

I guess my expectations for the technology is too high atm :(robbydesu said: I think what ClearSinz meant was that usually the citizens will be notified in advance.. If I remember correctly, they do have a system that senses tremors or some sort like that... yes, but apparently it can notify them only a few seconds in advance and sometimes it's still too slow. I'm not even sure if there has ever been a warning in advance in Japan so far oO But that system is also quite new. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Earthquake_Early_Warning_(Japan) "An earthquake warning system is a system of accelerometers, communication, computers, and alarms that is devised for regional notification of a substantial earthquake while it is in progress" That totally sucks..>< Thanks for the clarification :)! |
| Its a pretty good first episode. A good introductory to the character Mirai, Yuuki and family. Seems like shes not fond of people around her as well. I can understand her hatred a bit here and there. Being bumped in the back full of ice cream ain't very nice. Having people laugh at you when someone falls asleep on you would just annoy you (I'd give them my middle finger). Its sorta nice to get some realism into anime shows, been lacking some of that for some time now. Hell, Mirai even reads Ouran Host Club! ^^ (If I spot right). The end was expected, but more dramatic than I thought. Will catch the next episode. |
 |
| This was a very good start to what seems like a great series. Some have said that Mirai is kind of a brat and hates the peole around her, that is true up to a point. She seems to be no different than many teen girls that age, I mean she seems to have a good relationship with her friends (plenty of pictures on the wall, lots of texting, and the girls all seemed to get along at school). The problems with the parents seem to be inline with what you would expect from the family dynamic of late and conflicting work hours. I will be looking forward to the next episode. |
 |
| I love how Mirai is so clearly in puberty! Some people here complaiun she's a bitch, buit hey, if you were 14 and got your brother dumped on you like that I have no doubt you would act the same way. I think the disaster will cause her to grow up a bit, so this is a great starting point. Yuuki was just soo cute. Really adorable. Whish I hd a brother like that. I hope the biker woman won't help them too much. I'd like to see Mirai take a bit more responsablity and take care of her brother on her own. |

| It's supposed to start with an earthquake and get better, not stat with a crap, remain boring and end with 15 second earthquake... |
Ii tenki desu ne... |
Tamaki-san said: Music Staff: Koh Ohtani. When i saw that, I was like... Even if this series goes shitty along the way, I must listen the soundtracks. *Rushes and download the mother fucking episode* Bwaha! |
 |
| Big natural disaster + realistic feeling characters and graffics. *drools* I liked the episode, i am going to watch next episode for sure. This feels refreshing. |
| Good start to the series, I like how they started with the earthquake early. |
| It was a pretty good first episode....built up the story a bit. Let's see what happens in the next episode. |
| I love the main character, it's easy to relate to her. Don't understand why everyone is saying she's a bitch. Most people in that position would be that way. |
  |
| Art was meh to me. Didn't like any of the main characters. But I wanna see the earthquake xD. Cliffhanger-episode - I'll be looking forward to next week to see what happens. |
| liked this epd, kicked off things ok to keep me glued. main character definitely is bitchy, but i don't really seem to mind |
| something smells like studio Glibi in that episode (excuse me for my spelling) |
| the drawing is like eden of the east .. also got 11 episodes ..lols |
     |
| Pretty good episode, it sort of feels like an anime movie rather than a series but I'm not complaining. I really liked the realistic personalities of the characters as well as the setting, hopefully it will not become boring and just drag on and on. |
| To have already given up on life while in middle school, lets hope that she sees some things that changes her perspective. The whole family was done quite well though. |
| Coming of Age types do start with annoying bratty characters but the development they get is what you can call the essence of the whole show. |

Alexstratz said: Even though I still think Mirai, being all emo, is kind of cliche. I mean she seems to be the typical teenager who hates life and I don't remember everyone around me being like that when I was her age. Haha, I was angry and then emo all the time when I was her age X_D Loved this first episode <3 Can't wait to see how Yuuki escaped from that building. |
 |
| That was really quite good. Was my most anticipated show this season and it didn't disappoint. While it's already been said countless times, I've got to mention how relatable the cast is. Save for being down one child this felt exactly like the way my family would interact amongst each other, the parents in particular. Though I'd be more in Yuuki's role since looking back that's pretty much how I acted (and when regaling old stories with my family), and my older sister taking up Mirai's position, even down to the constant "this is my frustrated face"/indifference and continually plucking away on a cell phone. Off course it's not like that now (well maybe my parents still are), but this very reminiscent of that "tween" period we all go through, be it from a different perspective or in the role ourselves. I think it captures it perfectly, at least from my memories. Regardless because of that I couldn't stop smiling for the entire episode. The characterization is spot on. |
YuriGoggles said: Jesus christ. Everyone who has called Mirai a bitch clearly has forgotten their early teen/puberty years. :/ She's acting pretty normal for a kid her age. Getting mad at your parents and thinking your little brother is a pest = TOTAL BITCH I HATE HER This is true tho i don't really sympathize with her at the same time cuz i acted differently despite having it way worse than how she has it. But that said, her feelings are indeed common. |
 |
| I loved this episode. The build up was slow but tense, I was just waiting for something to happen. I wonder how the series will develop and whether it will carry on the suspense and tension. This might just turn into my favourite series of this season. It definitely needs to get more viewers. Dredd said: YuriGoggles said: Jesus christ.

But that said, her feelings are indeed common. I'm sort of in Mirai's years at the moment so I can completely understood where her feelings are at. In fact, it made her more real, more easy to relate to and frankly, I think she's a great character. I can't wait to see how she handles the pressure. |

| I loved the anime, I have high expectations o// |

| Actually, first episode is really promising. Even tough I was never like the main character against anyone at those ages, I can feel her angry behaviours and do not think of them as "bitching". It was very professionally thoughtful of creators when she said "Why do I keep getting angry?" because at that second, I was questioning that in my mind too. Drawings were amazing, had almost no flaws at all. I hope story develops in an unexpected and touching way. I've been waiting for this anime for last 2 months, hope it won't leave me in despair after it's done. I can not wait to see how things will happen in the next episodes. Sorry for my bad english. ^^ |
 |
| I didn't have any expectations towards this serie so it was interesting to watch. And it totally surprised me ! The start was a little slow with interesting animation style, but then ... gosh I loved the ending and whole Mirai&Yuuki scenes ! And Mirai's attitude was, imo, kinda cute *w* But I'm really waiting forward to what'll happen next ! |
     |
| I loved this first episode, it's so realistic, and the relation that Mirai has with her brother... I kinda relate to that... i'm looking forward for the next episode and I'm expecting this to be the best anime of the summer season! |
 |
| Like how realistic it was, new reporter at the end was creepy, Tokyo destroy today. |
 |
| little brother is more mature than older sister o lol. |
| Whoa, this was really well done. I'm glad I decided to watch this after all. |
 |
| great first episode. wonderful quality. only wish is that the characters were drawn better/differently or that the character designs were a bit different. 5/5 |
p r o f i l e đź‘€ |
| Wow, I can already tell I'm *in love* with this series. The biggest thing that got to me was the realism of the characters. The interaction of the family felt so accurate, I like seeing things that aren't all picture-perfect. I really like how the main character is already jaded at such a young age. Scenarios like this aren't so rare in the real world, and I like that they gave it that measure of authenticity. Anyways, I'm sure some people were bored with the majority of this episode, but I personally loved it. The last few minutes were very suspenseful, even though I knew what was coming. The music and animation were great throughout I can't wait to continue with this. :) |
| This was a good episode. As it should be for the first I'll most certainly be going on through the series. The main girl may be borderline between realistic teenage angst and overzealous writing. So I can see why she may be a bit bratty but she also seems a bit contradictory at times. The OP/EDs are really nothing spectacular. In fact they're rather bad. The OP feels too much geared towards an action/adventure (BONES=FMA anyone?) hardly for a dramatic anime. Otani intrigues me since hearing some of his work for the Shadow of the Collessues game but so far nothing amazing in the score yet. |

| I am just like the girl. I get angry at every thing, every thing annoys me. lol It's a really interesting anime, since it's about earthquakes. |
 |
| Promising start. I liked how realistic the characters and their interactions were. If it keeps this up, it might one of the best anime of 2009. |
Current FAL Ranking + Previous best::  [ |
| ^it already is Mirai reminds me of a nicer more sane version of my sister. |

| I'm impressed. The realism is a huge plus, and so was having the little brother playing some Metal Gear. ;D Really looking forward to how the next episode pans out. |
| nice first episodio. I truly believe this could turn into a great anime... |

| LOL'd at the loghouse in Canada - when will they learn? We live in igloos! Duh! XD Overall, a promising start. I thought it dragged a little and, yeah, Mirai's attitude bugged me more than once (like what's the deal with wanting round cakes over triangle? I don't care what shape my cake is in. I only care whether it tastes good or not! o_O) but I can tell this will probably end up being a show about her character development (like in Spirited Away, as someone else already mentioned) so I'm looking forward to that. Animation was pretty good, though I'm a bit neutral about the character designs. The background work, though, is fabulous and a lot of detail and work went into the images of the destroyed buildings and whatnot, like in the OP. Sound is excellent too, so far - I really enjoyed the little "clicking" noises when Mirai was texting rather than generic beeping sounds XD Sounded exactly like my phone when I text. Anyway, I'll be continuing this one for sure~ |
