Well to be fair, the manga's foreign title is Tokyo Magnitude 8, and this anime's full title is Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. I know, it's just schematics, but there's definitely a difference, so it's not exactly the same. It's very likely the title just sounds compelling enough that two different people decided to use it.

Well yeah, but that's not the point ^^;;; The point is in both cases they used the same value, even if it's written differently (8 and 8.0) it is still the same thing, and there is no real need to use "8".
Anyway if you prefer there's the Mercalli intensity scale: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercalli_intensity_scale

Tokyo Magnitude 9.0 doesn't look and sound too different, but what do we know?

The reason for using magnitude 8.0 is probably because the Great Kanto Earthquake that rocked Tokyo in 1923 was 7.9.
I assume the premise is what if the same Earthquake happened again.

I'm on board for this show and I have set very mild expectations, which is surprising considering that I think very highly of BONES as a studio.
If this was Hollywood making a disaster movie or the likes, I'd just shake my head. However, the animated medium of Japan may be able to show another limelight to this topic. Instead of getting things like The Day After Tomorrow, perhaps it will have real substance. But, I am not going to be getting too ahead of myself here. I hope to hear soon from this show... Does anyone know when it is airing?

Curious way to say Friday morning at 1:00 am. Or Thursday night I suppose.

This is the title I am looking forward to the most this season, just because I'm a sucker for shows that are part of the Noitamina programming block. Well, that's not the only reason.. Bones along with this concept just seem to standout in my eyes. My expectation is pretty high for this title and I'm pretty confident that I won't be let down. I'll be anxiously waiting for the first episode tomorrow(?).
