Not a review, not a final thought, just some thoughts
Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 was a dramatic ride over the course of 11 episodes, and having finished the series, I can say it was worth the experience. Much of the final story was focused around Yuuki1; he became a centerpiece in the last third of the series. In my opinion, his role is heroic in a sense, and at some point in the finale I thought, “Yuuki has reached the level of Densuke.”
An interesting factor which I felt played into my viewing experience, was a certain lack of identification, and I was able to watch from an outsider’s perspective. Some may find that a terrible feeling, but when we identify, we are more compelled to feel and empathize.
With little motive aside from the human condition, TM8 was able to hold my heart as I sympathized for Mirai, Yuuki, Mari, and their families; it felt natural. I feel this speaks very well for the series in what it accomplished, a human2 story of disaster.
