So I just plowed through this short 11 episode anime in 2 days, and having just finished, I can honestly say I'm very pleased with it.
I won't go into detail, but the premise is pretty simple. An earthquake (8.0!) hits Tokyo, and a girl and her little brother are trying to make it back home safely. On the way there, they meet other people, encounter various dangers, etc etc.
The animation and art are both excellent. Music is also really good. My main complaint is that some episodes feel filler-ish, and it's very slow paced, especially for a 11 episode series. However, the second half of the show is definitely better than the first, and there's one particular event that happens which I didn't see coming at all.
The ending was also really touching, and I have to admit, I actually cried. But it was handled really well, and it was very beautiful.
If you're in the mood for a short anime with great looks, music, and a touching story, go ahead and give it a shot.
My score: 8/10
