History YMMV / TokyoMagnitude8

%%* FanNickname: [[spoiler:St. Yuuki]].
* HarsherInHindsight: The whole series can be tough to watch after the real life 2011 Tohoku earthquake in Japan, which in scale was ''even worse with 9.0 - 9.1 magnitude''. In fact, Animax was rerunning the show around the same time it happened, and predictably, [[https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2011-03-14/anime-with-disaster-scenes-face-changes-after-quake it had to be removed from their lineup.]]
%%* ItWasHisSled: [[spoiler:Yuuki's death]].

* FanNickname: [[spoiler:St. Yuuki]].

* ItWasHisSled: [[spoiler:Yuuki's death]].

* ShockingSwerve: [[spoiler:Mirai's descent into apparent hallucinations after Yuuki's sudden death]] was not particularly well-received by a portion of the viewership, as it marked a shift in tone from [[spoiler:objective and realistic]] to [[spoiler:either supernatural or subjective (Mirai's POV)]]. [[spoiler:Yuuki's death itself]] also appears to be a case of this at first; [[spoiler:had Yuuki suffered a cerebral hemorrhage as suggested by fans, however, his condition would likely have deteriorated that quickly.]]

* WhatAnIdiot: Kento risks his life to save a mass-produced reconnaissance robot.

* SomeAnvilsNeedToBeDropped: While disasters are definitely scary situations to be in, [[DisasterMovie popular culture's depiction of disasters]] is exaggerated for entertainment and is ''not'' always accurate of real life. You'll be okay as long as you stay with people you can trust (most of them feel not so different from you!), follow directions given by government officials & the news (and if you can, try to apply what your school has taught you in emergency drills), and you can't blame yourself for things that happen outside of your control.

* NightmareFuel: If you live where a major earthquake is expected, this could very well cause some mental discomfort.

* FetishRetardant: Mirai's feet after they get covered in blisters. Eww.
** . . . how was that intended to be sexy?!
* HarsherInHindsight:
** So you think 8.0 was already bad by itself? On March 10, 2011, nature decided to lob Japan with [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2011_T%C5%8Dhoku_earthquake_and_tsunami one of the biggest earthquakes ever]]: '''9.0'''.
** Despite the greater magnitude, however, this one's epicenter was 130 kilometers offshore, and has thus had far fewer casualties (though still far too many). It'd be hard to have ''more'' -- the earthquake in ''TokyoMagnitude8'' explicitly had more casualties than any in Japan's history.
** The quake happened far away from Tokyo and the aftershocks only caused minor damage, but even they were still the strongest earthquake to affect Tokyo since the one in 1923.

** . . . how was that supposed to be sexy?

* {{Woolseyism}}: In the Japanese version, Yuuki and Itsuki call Mirai the phone alien. The English dub tweaks it around to make it sound more alien-like, having them refer to her as the "Cell phonian," which is much more creative and sounds just like something a seven or eight year old kid would come up with. It's the same thing with "Frogworlder."

* {{Trigger}}: For all the hate the hallucinations get, if you've ever not been entirely sure the person you were talking to was real, it hits a little too close too home.
