		John Serba Decider	"Despite its occasional tonal inconsistency, 'Japan Sinks: 2020' is a frequent visual wonder"
		Daniel Kurland Den of Geek	"'Japan Sinks: 2020' is a thoroughly enjoyable journey that’s’ satisfying in the way that the best disaster stories are, but also features so many creative examples of connection and family"
