This review contains spoilers for Tokyo Magnitude 8.0

This anime is just 11 episodes long. It shouldn't need a recap since it's already so short and doesn't have any sort of sequels.
But still I'd say this recap is above average. It's only like 50 minutes long, not 20 minutes like a typical episode, but it's not exactly movie size either. And I think this recap benefitted from the length.

Sure, a lot of stuff got cut. But what I liked was that it cut right after the Tokyo Tower collapsing incident. Not necessarily the cut itself but it showed that Yuuki was suffering from a headache caused by the incident till he collapsed due to sunstroke. At first it seemed as if he died solely because of his weakness.
Another thing that you'll notice if you watch this recap (or rewatching the 11 episodes) is Mari's treatment towards Mirai after the death of Yuuki. Mirai was obviously coping hard with her loss so her mind was blocking out the memory of Yuuki's death announcement to keep her sane. Along with that she was also hallucinating a living Yuuki. When I first watched it I thought Mari had a darker face because she was worried about her daughter Hina, not Mirai. But this digest proved me wrong.

I should add that this recap skips episodes 5,6,7 completely. It continues from Yuuki saving Mirai from the falling Tokyo Tower debris in episode 4 to episode 8 where they have to take him to a hospital for losing consciousness in the road, so this recap makes it seem like he was taken to the hospital for getting hit by small debris when in actuality it was a much slower process that took time.

Anyways this is good for a quick rewatch. But if you think you remember the storyline of the 11 episodes then it's unnecessary. But then again if you read this review you can probably imagine what exactly this has in store so (re)watching it would be totally useless.
