The story will center on Mirai, a middle school freshman girl who goes to Tokyo's artificial Odaiba Island for a robot exhibition with her brother Yutaka at the start of summer vacation. A powerful tremor emanates from an ocean trench, the famed Tokyo Tower and Rainbow Bridge crumble and fall, and the landscape of Tokyo changes in an instant. With the help of a motorcycle delivery woman named Mari who they meet on Odaiba, Mirai and Yutaka strive to head back to their Setagaya home in western Tokyo.
L'histoire sera centrée sur Mirai, une collégienne de première année qui se rend sur l'île artificielle d'Odaiba à Tokyo pour une exposition de robots avec son frère Yutaka au début des vacances d'été. Un puissant tremblement émane d'une fosse océanique, la célèbre tour de Tokyo et le pont arc-en-ciel s'effondrent et tombent, et le paysage de Tokyo change en un instant. Avec l'aide d'une livreuse à moto nommée Mari qu'ils rencontrent à Odaiba, Mirai et Yutaka s'efforcent de retourner chez eux à Setagaya, dans l'ouest de Tokyo.

an original concept. very compelling.

Disasters makes great settings because familiar mundame surroundings become strange and dangerous. The characters - two young siblings and a stranger with her own family to worry about - seem jsut right for low-key tramma with potential tragedy cosntantly in the background.
Michael Eh?
We watched two episodes of this show since I felt it took too long to setup the characters and premise in the first episode. The second episode add more action with the girl's frantic (and dangerous) search for her brother. For action seekers, this moves too far a slow pace but it slowing down for the good reason to show drama and emotional storyline so missing in today's stories.
