Ofcourse you need characters for the stage. What false advertising? Because the show is called Tokyo Magnitude 8.0, you expected all the episodes to show buildings shaking and falling apart? What did you expect to see from a movie called "American Pie"?
And the girl is not just a "bratty teenager". There is depth to her character; sure she rebels a little but the way she cares for her brother and how she is ashamed of the biker girl, is very telling. There is depth there, you just don't see it. What type of character would you have wanted to focus on, who would not have been "tedious"?
If you're not into the slice-of-life thing that's fine, but arguing that a show should not have characters.. That's absurd. Well, the next episodes will probably have a different tone due to the catastrophe, but I for one hope they manage to keep the familiarity of the slice-of-life feel between the characters. They have pulled it off perfectly, the animation is great and adds to the feel, and the whole thing is very enjoyable.
