Effects Wizard (and director of LORELEI
WITCH OF THE PACIFIC OCEAN) Shinji Higuchi helms this incredible 2006
remake of The
Submersion of Japan. Scientists predict that Japan will sink within
40 years due to a decaying underwater plate. However, Dr. Tadokoro calculates
that it's going to happen much sooner... in 338.5 days. He presents his
findings to Prime Minister Yamamoto who decides to organize a new department
to help deploy citizens. As further earthquakes, tsunamis, and volcanic
eruptions devastate Japan, the government pleads with other countries
to take refugees but none are willing to accept so many immigrants.
