...why does the character designs of this remind me of Mahou Tsukai ~Natsu no Sora~? At least the backgrounds are not so photo-realistic that it looks jarring....

Anyway, to mirror what a few others are saying, this first episode was really good. Emo teenage philosophizing, relationship strains in a dual-income middle-class family, sibling interactions, the works, all very realistic. This kind of thing couldn't go wrong if it just took a slice-of-life bent and went on like this forever....

....of course, now I want to see even more how BONES is going to show how all of this goes to hell in one split second.

Just a few things I'm wondering about though. Being earthquake-prone as it is, isn't Japan supposed to have some sort of early detection system? Also, aren't Japanese trained to dive under the tables at the slightest hint of an earthquake?
