Seiji Sensei, I think if this quake had an epicenter of say, 40 miles from Tokyo instead of the 250 miles or so it was, 180,000 would have been a conservative number. And as I remember, the quake in the show supposedly was centered right in Tokyo Bay.

It seems disrespectful somehow to debate the merits of the plot twist in this show but since the topic was raised - in my view Vexx is correct, it derailed an otherwise promising story. His verbiage is a lot more charitable than I'd use, but I agree with the central point. If anyone wants to see how an anime tackles this kind of disaster the series is certainly worth watching - but for me, I'd probably bail after the first half.
