The tone of the story is too light to be heavy on tragedy. There's an almost sentimental feeling that happens in episode two, especially brought on by Mari's dialogue.
The earthquake itself felt very understated. The scenes of destruction (especially the shot of the city on fire) were more striking than the event itself. However the episode improved greatly over the first, and what might have been a "drop" has now bumped to a "I'll check out a few more episodes". I'm interested in seeing where they'll go with this.
