Episode 8: White Morning3 more episodes to go!!!I can finish it this week (hopefully!)Yuki collapses suddenly and is taken to the hospital, where Mirai agonizes over her brother's fate.This is the episode where Mirai finally became a responsible caring sister. After knowing that her younger brother is in the hospital, Mirai really showed her concern towards Yuuki. She always asserts that she is always there for him..that she will take care of him. Mari, who became their mother-figure all throughout attended to Yuuki as he was brought to the hospital to seek medical attention.It was kinda confusing if Yuuki is already dead or not. Initially, Yuuki was dead but it was all but a dream of the worried Mirai. When she woke up, she found a lively and energetic Yuuki playing around with the other children as if nothing has ever happened. This somehow calms and sooths Mirai since she knew that her brother is alive and well. She is so afraid that his brother might die and so seeing Yuuki playing is a big relief for her.On the other hand, Mari was able to find out about her hometown and according to the news report, most of the people sought the refuge of the schools and churches so there's a possibility that her family is in one of those refuge sites.Everything turns out to be well..with Yuuki recovering from his sickness, the three of them resumed their journey towards home.

I’ve been avoiding /a/ more than usual these days, not only because it can sometimes be the cesspool of the internet, but because it likes to spoil anime. Especially this one. At the time of writing, raws for the last episode of TM8.0 are starting to make their way to a tracker/bot near you. Having [...]

Ok, enough Tokyo Magnitude lulz. You guys probably want to strangle me now for poking fun at the show. Seriously though, I don't want Yuuki to die, like hell who'd want such an adorable little kid to die?! He's got a bright future ahead of him, and I can't wait to see what a fine young adult he'll become, the same way Wakaba thought of Kou in Cross Game.

The Yuuki is dead edition … with pictures! In light of all the theories about the situation with Yuuki, here are some subtle clues the show gives out. You have to assume Yuuki is all in Mirai’s head at this point. There is a picture of Yuuki’s death certificate that explains how he died. However the death [...]

If there's one major drawback to my "stream of consciousness" style of 'blogging here, it's that sometimes pretty important points can go unnoticed until you sit down to actually think about it in a comprehensive way. It appears that in the case of episode eight of Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, the immediacy of my writing form has actually missed a hugely important point, and thus for the first time ever

"It never rains but it pours" it probably true of the situation in the midst and immediate aftermath of any large-scale disaster, but it certainly feels as though we've been run through the mill by Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 - Such concerns showed no sign of abating by the end of the last episode either, with Yuuki collapsing after a period of what seemed to be little more than some mild fatigue and

Yuuki suddenly collapses and is sent off to the hospital. I almost fell for the killing off Yuuki nightmare stunt they were trying to pull off, but I figured as much Mirai already had a million other nightmares before it, so this one has to be fake too. I think I’m ready to move onto Mari’s storyline [...]

The past two episodes of this series made me think a lot about the nature of criticism. Especially after the previous episode, which I slammed down for having Yuki supposedly collapse for cheap drama, even though it’s not that weird for people to get sick in these situations. I also remember people who weren’t happy [...]
