That's ominous. It's currently 2:30 am in Japan, and the earthquake happened after 11 at night. I fear some people may have gone to bed and might still be asleep and unaware...
Sakai Shinichi, professor at the Earthquake Research Institute of the University of Tokyo, says: If this was a shallow earthquake centered in the sea, there is a high possibility that a tsunami has already occurred. People should stay away from the coast. It is important to evacuate and to take measures to stay warm.
Sakai says: The epicenter may be north of the epicenter area of the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. This time, the earthquake is believed to have occurred at the plate boundary, so I think it was a slightly larger earthquake. The magnitude could be revised in the future.

It’s not like Japan doesn’t get many earthquakes. People should get an alert on NERV and evacuation areas have megaphones blaring. Not to mention that it’d be hard to sleep through the earthquake...

You may in Tokyo but you also don’t need to evacuate.

The app was designed after the 2011 earthquake, and the developer is a big fan of Evangelion. Actually, he'd already had a Twitter account named after NERV tweeting about weather in 2010, which eventually led to the app's creation. Here's an article about its history. Honestly it makes me smile to see geeky interests impacting the world like that.
Despite its tumultuous presentation, Tokyo had video games and anime front and centre, too. I love how enthusiastic Japan is about its cultural output.

At first I thought this was a surrealist Evangelion joke.
Didn't realize NERV is a disaster prevention app.
Looks like it was inspired by Evangelion! Neat!
Legitimately asking - not the other way around?

Wow, my alert said it was a 6.7. I’ve never seen one off by that much before.
