Recap

"I wish that everything would break." A Magnitude Earthquake have struck,and the city and falling apart. Building collapsing, water exploding from the fire hydrants, the bridges waving, the city is facing disaster. And what's worse: Yuuko is no where to be seen.

Summary:

The earthquake comes to an end, and the damage result is mysterious.
Mirai looks about for her brother and enters back into the Mall where survivors are evacuating.
Taking a map, Mirai takes a risk and searches for her brother.
In the mean time, she is stopped by a policeman who was evacuating the citizens.
Suddenly the building starts shaking again causing her to collapsed, and nearly getting crushed by a piece of of the ceiling; though was luckily saved by the woman she met earlier.

The woman recognizes her and asks where her brother is, and where her parents are.
Mirai answers that they came alone and how she has to find them.
The woman then decided to help her find her brother.

The building is in terrible shape, smoke, toilets overflowing. Bodies of the injured are getting carried out by folks that are able to walk. The two of them continue deeper and ask the people who are leaving for the exit if they have seen Yuuki. A family said they saw some children at a toy store. Imeaditely after hearing that, Mirai took off with the woman following close behind.

The two of them arrives at a dangerous, unstable stairway. The woman tries to warn Mirai not to use it, but Mirai ignores her jumping from the large gap and dashing down, when suddenly the stairway collapse and the woman manages to pull her out of the way just on time. Saving her once more. She then scolds her for acting reckless, Mirai ignores her and hurries off only to be caught by the woman who then apologizes explaining that wasn't the way she should have said it.

The building shakes again, more structures collapse onto the small group of people who were saving a child, who was unfortunately not Yuuki. Mirai once more starts shouting out Yuuki's name, but then sees bodies under a large block. It is clear that they are dead.

The woman explains to her how they need to get out of there, Mirai tells her to go alone, but the woman told her that it isn't worth to risk her life when her brother could have already evacuated.

On their way out, Mirai notices a store that sells drinks. Immediately she remembers that he had gone to buy a drink after he went to the washroom. She then hurries inside and hears someone shouting for help. She and woman reply they are going to help.
Then a voice from underneath and an arm waves asking, "Mirai is that you?"
Yuuki is found.

He survived thanks to a store clerk who was the one who shouted for help, who also survived. The four of them makes it out of the building and take shelter. The store clerk manages to reunite with a friend, leaving the three left together.

After siting down, the three of them hear on the news on someone's iseg, the woman takes out hers where they watch the news announcement, while Mirai tries to contact home, but the connection fails. The news announces how four hours ago, a massive earthquake hit the center of the Kanto region. The magnitude is estimated to be 8.0 on the Richter scale.
Mirai tries once more with her cellphone but fails. Apparently only isegs work.

The woman offers to help them get back home. Mirai asks her why she was helping them, and the woman answers that she's a person. She tells Yuuki how desperate her sister was trying to find him, and how she's a good sister.
Finally the woman introduces herself: her name is Kursakabe Mari.

Mari explains how she lives with her mother and daughter, and how she's always working and feels sad how she doesn't have alot of time for her daughter. She tells them how her daughter always wanted a swing, so she works hard to be able to afford one. Then suddenly she says she'll return with some stuff since she parked her bike near by.
Mirai asumes that she headed home, leaving them alone.

Just has she returns, there was an after shock, luckily was a small one. She then announces she has cake, that is kind of messed up. Mirai studies it and notices it saying, "Happy Birthday Hina". Mari explains that it's her daughter's 4th birthday. Mirai smiles how the cake is round.

After finish eating, Yuuki had already fallen asleep. Mirai wonders what she is going to do now. Mari says that she should have some rest.

Impression:

Wow, the episode was, wow. I was absolutely teary since we had no idea where Yuuki was. But inthe back of my head I kept going on, "Check where he'd get a drink!". I'm very happy that Yuuki was alive, along with the store clerk ^_^.

Bones absolutely made this episode take its time to explain just about everything. They didn't rush it whatsoever. They made it very detailed about the damages, and the situation realistic.
(Of course that's how they intended to have it in the first place: so awesome job BONES!)
Another thing they did a great job in was the animation quality, which is probably why everything was detailed so well. XD

I'm quite curious of what's going to take place from here on.
Will they face another earthquake? An aftershock? Tsunami? What's more to come?

We don't get much of a preview, though either way, that isn't stopping me from watching the next episode, ha ha ha.
