Siren Visual has confirmed a new acquisition out of Australia today with the noitaminA series Tokyo Magnitude 8.0. The series ran on Fuji TV back in 2009 for eleven episodes as an original work written by Natsuko Takahashi and directed by Masaki Tachibana for Studio Bones & Kinema Citrus. The series had an Italian license acquisition earlier this year and is one of the relatively few shows from the block that has yet to get North American distribution.

Plot Concept: After a massive earthquake in Tokyo 25 km under the sea at a magnitude of 8.0, siblings Mirai and Yūki, who were visiting a robot exhibition in Odaiba at the beginning of their summer vacation, struggle to reach their parents in their house in Setagaya, assisted by a female motorcycle courier named Mari, who is striving to reach her own daughter and mother in Sangenjaya. Together, the three brave the ruined city and try their best to make it home safely.
