This anime was addictive. I binged the entire thing in a day. I honestly couldn't turn my attention away. It was well thought out and the voice acting was 5 stars. But most importantly, they gave you characters to fall in love with.
Our main character is Mirai, a teenage girl who is only thinking about how miserable her daily life is. She's seriously suffering from teen angst. But then she and her little brother are caught up in an earthquake while away from home. And it's in that moment that she starts to realize she really loves her family and doesn't want to lose them.
She starts with a frantic search of a collapsing building to find Yuuki, he little brother. And with the help of a woman named Mari, they start to make their way home.
Now, here comes the spoiler, so if you dont want to know how it ends, dont read below this line.
Yuuki doesn't make it home. I was devastated. They even wrote a really confusing episode where it looks like he died but then he's not dead and they tell us she just had a crazy dream. Then second to the last episode we find out Mirai has been talking to his ghost for 2 days! WTF!! I loved Yuuki. He was so kind and optimistic and I hate when writers do that to you. Trick you into being relieved that a character managed to make it and then...wham. .jk he died 3 episodes ago and everyone else was just hallucinating. Not cool.
Honestly, the show wasn't even worth watching without Yuuki as a ray of sunshine and a symbol of hope. I think that's why they kept him until the end, even in that form.
Even though I spoiled it for you, it was a great show. 5 stars overall. It exceeded my expectations. Even though I'm still pissed they killed off my favorite character.
