The Day The Earth Moved is the story of a group of children frome the same elementary class, whose lives are abruptly hit by the great Kobe Earthquake of 1995. Most of them lose everything in that disaster, and they must learn to cope with such a disgraceful event.
My first thought was: this is a "graveyard for fireflies" spin-off... well, it may seem so, but there is no comparison. the animation is really poor and the story is plain simple. However, this anime is really worth a shot: it has its sad moments, and is not the typical oav you'd rent to spend some spare time... give it a try if you want to pick up something different for once.
