Japan Sinks 2020 Review<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

Season aired<\/b>: Summer 2020<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Number of episodes<\/b>: 10<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Genres<\/b>: Adventure, Drama<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Thoughts<\/b>: <\/span>Japan Sinks:<\/span><\/i> 2020<\/span><\/i> is the latest work by Masaaki Yuasa, the famous director responsible for the critically acclaimed anime<\/a>, <\/span>Devilman Crybaby<\/span><\/i>. An adaptation of an award-winning novel of the same name, <\/span>Japan Sinks<\/span><\/i> focuses on the idea of Japan sinking due to a series<\/a> of earthquakes caused by the Earth\u2019s changing landscapes. Seeing how the year 2020 has treated everyone around the world, there could be no better timing for the release of an apocalyptic series, even if the scheduling worked out by coincidence.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Japan Sinks: 2020 <\/span><\/i>follows a family of survivors. Ayumu Mutoh, a rising track athlete, has just finished track practice when her country literally begins to sink into the oceans. With her younger brother Goh, her hardy father Koichiro, and her brave mother Mari, Ayumu treks across her shattered country as they all race for safety and a chance to survive.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The synopsis sounds incredibly riveting, and the first two episodes display incredible power in eliciting emotions and reactions. Theme<\/a>s around the idea of Japanese identity, especially as the Japanese people lose their country, strengthen the emotional aspects of surviving a doomed country. The fact that Japan is genuinely a country of islands formed by the very earthquakes that now threaten to destroy it also makes the entire package convincing. Unfortunately, while <\/span>Japan Sinks <\/span><\/i>has all the chips to make a riveting story, it falls flat on the execution.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n
