Desperate and feeling guilty, Mirai goes back into the crumbling convention center to search for her brother.
Once inside Mirai is clearly confused and upset at herself for letting her brother out of her sight in the first place. She heads for the bathroom first, the last place she remembers him going. Luckily she finds no one there. As she heads deeper into the center another earthquake tremor begins to shake the building. Seeing the loose debris above Mirai, Mari scoops up Mirai just in time away from the falling debris. Hearing her story, Mari gladly helps Mirai to look for her brother.
Um … I’m feeling a little … unimpressed by the entire earthquake ordeal. I understand they are going for a very real atmosphere and all, but I think they did a very poor job of animating the earthquake as it happened. I don’t know … it makes the entire situation far less catastrophic than what they are trying to portray. Looking back at it, the problem seems to be that in one of the largest cities in the world, they neglected to draw a TON of people on screen at once. Some shots look very barren of people and cars … at a robot convention of all places … in Japan! … come on I refuse to believe that. Anyways whatever I guess, just a normal rant =).
Thank god for Mari. She’s keeping this show alive right now. While Mirai had all the right in the world to be reckless in the beginning, she just came out to be an ungrateful little beotch at the end. She should act more like her little brother. I mean come on, the little guy suffered through an earthquake, was squashed between two store shelves, and a the end could still put on a smile, what a trooper. Oh well at least Mari stays a bit longer to play Mommy for these kids.
Now the question is where this series is going. Are we going to spend X amount of episodes looking for the chidlrens’ parents or are they going to pull the dead parents card?
