Wow, I was just commenting to myself how the artwork looked shitty but the concept is awesome... just like Higashi no Eden.

Time for a little (useless?) information.

"Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (東京マグニチュード8.0, Tōkyō Magunichūdo 8.0?) is a Japanese anime television series, which is slated to premiere on Fuji TV's [Only registered and activated users can see links. ] on July 2009."

Eden of the East was airing on the same timeslot during the current season.

Coincidence? Hmm. >.<

ehehehhe..........ahahaha. hmmm its earth quake time........

I'm convinced that animation & script will be very good, even though I don't like those drawings that much.
It will also have a good soundtrack & fine plot, but...
It doesn't appeal to me... so it won't be on my list unless something extraordinary happens

[sundeath]

i think they should ad se* scene in my opinion or maybe some weird event ehehehehe

Definitely looks like it's going to be realistic.
