I can only think of a few possibilities:

1) The original manga often mentions the magnitude 8, or "Tokyo magnitude 8" is a secondary title or chapter title.

2) There is another work (movie, book, etc) with a similar title and both the french and studio bones payed that an homage.

3) Someone at studio Bones somehow saw the french version of this manga an decided to take the idea for the title of the anime.

4) just a mere funny coincidence
Maybe they thought it was a bad title... I kinda do... Well that clears up things.
