Fireworks

Fireworks (2017) is a Japanese animated film you can watch online on iFILM. Directed by Nobuyuki Takeuchi and Akiyuki Shinbo, this 90-minute romantic fantasy expands a beloved 1993 live-action short into a feature-length anime.

A small seaside town, late summer. A group of boys argue over one absurd question: are fireworks round or flat when you look at them from different angles? Meanwhile Nazuna, a girl in their class, is about to be uprooted by her mother's remarriage and asks classmate Norimichi to run away with her. He misses his chance. Then a strange glass orb rolls into the picture — and the day begins again, slightly rewritten. Each reset nudges the world a little further from ordinary. Voiced by Suzu Hirose and Masaki Suda, with a soundtrack anchored by DAOKO's widely shared title song.
