Fireworks (2017 film)

横から見るか?, Hepburn: Uchiage Hanabi, Shita kara Miru ka?

When Nazuna finds a small glass marble, she, Norimichi and Yusuke compete in the swimming pool race.

Back when the race occurred, Norimichi wins this time around and Nazuna asks him on a date.

He wishes for another chance to escape with Nazuna, throws the marble from a lighthouse and reverses time again.

Time jumps back again and the train takes a different route, leaving the two in the same town encapsulated in a glass dome.

The site's critical consensus states "Fireworks seeks sparks in an ambitious blend of storytelling genres, but this misguided anime effort never truly takes flight".

[33] On Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating, the film has a score 40 out of 100, based on 10 critics, indicating "mixed or average reviews".

Musician Koremasa Uno lauded the voice acting and said the film "doesn't feel like a work from Iwai or Hitoshi Ōne, the scriptwriter.

He also noted that the anime is "more than just a remake" and the "90-minute run time compared to the 50-minute original helps add to the content".

Mark concluded the review by writing, "Fireworks nails it again and again—or maybe that was just me, slipping back into long-ago dreams of the perfect girl gazing into my soul, forever out of reach.
