Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 (BONES)
http://g.imagehost.org/t/0791/Tokyo_8_0.jpg
http://tokyo-m8.com/ New TV anime series from BONES announced. It's a story about two siblings and a single mother trying to survive together after a massive earthquake hits Tokyo during the Summer vacation changing everyone's lives forever. The production is by BONES and Kinema Citrus (who are working on the animation production of the E7 movie), and the director is Masaki Tachibana. The series will start in July on FujiTV on the Noitamana time slot. |
Oh, is this original or is it based on someone's work?
Well, the character designs are really different from BONES' other work. Pretty charming in its own way. So far I'm sold. Music was great. |
Original work it seems.
|
Anyone know anything about this Kinema Circus group?
|
OK... this actually sounds and looks "out of the ordinary"... one of my many eyes put on it.
|
I think this will probably be similar to Chiko, in that the character designs, planning etc, is done by Bones itself and then the animation will be done with Cinema Citrus (with maybe Bones doing the OP and ED themselves)

They've done production support on a few episodes here and there in the past year too, like on Ryoko's Case Files. There was some misunderstanding that they were actually a new Bones studio that was founded to work on E7 (like Gainax and Khara), but its pretty obvious its a seperate studio, though obviously with some sort of connection to Bones I would guess, as they helped them with recruiting and have been working with them since... |
Looks like Kamichu meets A spirit of th Sun (or maybe Dragon Head).
|
I doubt it will be nearly as dark and gritty as Dragon Head, but it looks interesting to say the least.
|
Oh, I also feel like watching it! :)
|
Oho, now this interests me. Been a while since I've indulged in a series that isn't mecha or overdramatic romance... ^^;
|
This really does look interesting, both in a visual and thematic sense.

The real question is *who* Kinema Citrus really is in terms of staff. We don't have any idea at the moment but maybe it'll become more apparent when the animation staff credits show up for the E7 movie and for Tokyo M8 in a few months. |
Awesome. Not the usual harem moe shit. There is still some hope left for anime.

The design is certainly very reminicent of Kamichu, with the round faces and clean line-art. |
So if Kinema Citrus is involved with this, I'm assuming BONES' B Studio should still be working on a seperate project? I'm really, really impressed with how BONES are coping with these projects on such a large scale too.
|
This is certainly going up on my To-Watch list. Something different.
|
Count me in.
