Tokyo Magnitude 8.0 Main Cast Announced

Mmmm, Yumiko Kobayashi...

By gia manry  |  May 8, 2009


I don't know how many of you remember the announcement that Bones was working on an anime called Tokyo Magnitude 8.0-- an anime revolving around several kids who get trapped in Tokyo during a huge earthquake (one which has a real chance of happening) and have to try and find their way home. It looked pretty interesting to a lot of people.

The main voice cast for the series has just been announced, so I thought I'd give you the goods:


What do you think? Sound like a winner? I love Yumiko Kobayashi so I'm excited. (Via Moon Phase.)

I'll probably just be checking this out regardless just because it's Studio Bones. I'd put them in different categories, but in terms of quality Tier I'd put them at the same level as KyoAni and any new production studio when paired with Type-Moon.

Considering Studio Bones is making this title, I also plan on seeing Tokyo Magnitude as well. They did get me hooked on seeing RahXephon, Ouran Host Club, and FMA.
