A natural disaster is a serious problems to all countries. In the case of Japan, the highest risk is an earthquake. Recently, the risk is increasing especially in around Tokyo. In according to Japanese government, an earthquake that is more than magnitude 8 will be happened until 2036 in there. Therefore, this topic is a concern if society's condition shift. The cartoon, “Tokyo Magnitude 8.0” which has broadcasted since this month describes concretely crises of an earthquake. So, the topic is generally interesting. At the same times, it reports in this age of social problems of Japan. In conclusion, some people, especially young age people hope destroy Japan. Of course, it is a metaphor. However, if people want to solve social problems by a natural disaster, it can be said to be terrible. It means there is nothing people can do about social problems. As an aside, “Eden no Higashi” (Eden of the East), this animation has relevance this subject too. Actually, these “anime” are just entertainment, but we can see them reflecting a side of today.
