Tokyo Magnitude 8.0


*sniff*
I'll come back later i've just got to go cry for a few more days over this.
ok, better now. This is a show that resonates very deeply with me because i can relate to the main character so easily.

Mirai, a typical 14 year old girl lives in Japan with her parents and younger brother Yuuki. She is wdering through life finding that everything annoys her, and she is going through all the mood swings an average teenager finds they went through when they think back. No-one seems to understand her and her parents are too busy to listen.
Then one day she takes her brother to a robot museum on a small island about 3 hours away from her home. Her parents were supposed to go too but they had to work. As she waits for Yuuki to come back from the toilet she looks around at the world and begins to wish that it would just end. Then it does. An earthquake magnitude 8.0 strikes and the world around her collapses. She must then find Yuuki, and team up with a woman called Mari who says she lives near there home in order to try and find a way off the island and back home to her parents. She learns that she loves her family more than she thought and the only person keeping her sane right now is her brother. As they make their way home, one tragedy after another comes forward and she took me on an emotional rollercoaster which hasn't really ended yet to be honest.
This short and bittersweet anime is a 10 out of 10 and I'm going to reccommend it to anyone who'll listen
