STORY: A catastrophic earthquake strikes Japan, splitting its main island in two. Tokyo is obliterated, and Osaka is flooded by the resulting tsunami. Unable to rebuild on its own, the Japanese government turns to the USA and China for assistance—two countries with starkly different political ideologies. However, this assistance soon turns into an occupation. What would happen if a devastating earthquake led to the country being controlled by foreign powers? Can Japan recover from this tragedy?
Against the backdrop of Japan’s shifting social climate, this blockbuster animation offers a gripping, portrayal of what might happen if a natural disaster strikes Japan.
