I watched this anime and suffered through it's entire 11 episodes.
First of all I think some explaining is needed. I live in Chile, and I experienced three earthquakes of over 8.0 in the last 5 years. I have a niece 12 years old now, and in 2010 she was frozen solid with the 8.8 earthquake, she didn't move unless told to do so. This anime LIES about how people react to earthquakes.
Story: 3
This show follows a couple of brothers and their amazing adventure in an all-too-shaky japan. How they UNREALISTICALLY live through all the aftershocks and find out that friendship and family bonds are stronger than 10.7 megatons of energy.
Little tsundere-chan happens to have tremor immunity, because after standing in a dancing bridge, she walked head first inside a crumbling building.
The land shook too much for a 8.0 earthquake, and Japan being Japan, it's highly unlikely for their buildings to be that poorly built.
That is NOT how people react to these events. Children like tsundere-chan end up traumatized and the odds of rebellious shit are null.
HEY THE EARTH JUST SHOOK HARD ENOUGH TO DESTROY BUILDINGS AND BRIDGES, LETS JUMP INTO THE WATER. really japan?
I also loved how people were free to walk wherever they wanted, almost as if there were no institution to keep public order.

Bones did a "meh" job, though the CGI sometimes made background people look like zombies.
Sound: 3
Aww come one! That is no way near to how an earthquake sounds... SFX's were unnatural and didn't fit whatever was going on. Aside from music, sound sucked.
Character: 4
From the hyper annoying little brats to the extremely irresponsible lady, characters gave off a feeling of "I don't give a fuck about earthquakes". No, really. I insist, children become a bundle of stress and panic. If aftershocks are too strong, they may develop tremofobia, which happens a lot with kids. But tsundere-chan was fine enough to bitch at her little brother, that, ladies and gentlemen, is not stress nor panic nor fear nor related to earthquakes, that is being whiny.
K KIDS IMMA GO LEAVE U GUYS ALONE AND BRB!!... really lady?
