How fireworks are made. “Fireworks in America and European countries tend to be cylindrical, but Japanese fireworks are spherical. To make a spherical firework, there are four main steps, and each takes at least three weeks to complete.” Different substances in different combinations create different colors.
"Fireworks" is a very entertaining anime that will put a smile on its audience through its simple but captivating romance and the surrealistic brush of the titular question. Some parts of the story worked and other parts felt very muddled and confusing. February 26, 2019 | Rating: 3/10 | Full Review…
Norimichi and Yusuke are both infatuated with their classmate Nazuna. But when Nazuna decides to run away from home, it's Norimichi she asks to join her. After their plans go awry, Norimichi discovers a magical ball that has the power to manipulate time and give them a second chance, but each reset brings new complications.Fireworks / Film synopsis
The shell is filled with small pellets, known as stars. Once the firework reaches a certain height, a second fuse, sometimes called the timed fuse, ignites and activates the burst charge. This sets off the stars within the firework, which explode into a dazzling display of colours, sounds and other effects.
Although it's fairly common in anime for girls and young women to have exaggerated features, the film's focus on a main female character's body and beauty (as well as her role as a "damsel in distress") could be interpreted as stereotypical or even sexist.

Once the plot point is shown, there is one ending that the characters could choose that would make everyone happy and fix everything, but it never came to mind. The ending is very confusing and threw too much at the audience.
While Nazuna might be fourteen, Fireworks renders her character in a manner such that she appears older than she is.
The ages of the characters in Fireworks have been ambiguous: on one hand, the characters are clearly not eleven as in the original Fireworks, but they don't seem mature enough to be high school students, either. If I had to hazard a guess, I'd say that Norimichi and Nazuna are around fourteen.
The chemicals determine the colors, but the key to achieving a certain explosive shape lies in how the firework's “stars” are aligned inside the shell. To make a shape in the sky, firework technicians simply set up the same pattern with the small pellets inside the packaged shell before firing it.
The noise and unpredictability of fireworks lead many dogs to perceive them as a threat. This triggers their fight-or-flight response. Your dog may bark at the noises or try to run away and hide. They may also show other signs of anxiety too, like restlessness, panting, pacing or whining.
This means that fireworks cannot simply detonate. The firework will not go off in extreme heat because it must always have an ignition source to be exposed to the fuse. In essence, the only way a firework can go off is if the fuse comes into direct contact with a source of ignition, such as a flame.
Directed by Akiyuki Shinbō and Nobuyuki Takeuchi, ‘Uchiage Hanabi, Shita kara Miru ka? Yoko kara Miru ka?’ (or simply ‘Fireworks’) is a beautifully-made complex romance sci-fi anime film. In the quaint town of Moshimo, high-schooler Nazuna Oikawa has discovered that she has to move away with her mother and her new fiancé . After her classmate Norimichi Shimada witnesses her first unsuccessful attempt to rebel against her mother, he ardently wishes that there was a way for him to help her.
When Norimichi sees flat fireworks, he realizes that he is in an alternate timeline. This is reinforced when he climbs the lighthouse with Nazuna and sees fireworks that look like kaleidoscopic plumes.
When the drunken pyrotechnician mistakes the orb for a leftover firework charge, it shoots upwards and explodes, and the dome shatters. As the shards start falling, Norimichi and Nazuna see the various possibilities for their future. Norimichi is especially drawn towards one particular shard, which shows the two of them in Tokyo together, just like they plan multiple times throughout this time-bending journey.
While making his wishes, Norimichi reverts time with the orb. He then makes different choices, creating new timelines. When he makes the first and the second wishes, his concerns are still minor. He believes that if he makes small adjustments, he will be able to save Nazuna. But his experience at the top of the lighthouse teaches Norimichi that he must ask for something drastic. His third wish earns him and Nazuna shelter in the suspended timeline inside the orb. The enclosed town where the young couple ends up is the orb’s macrocosmic representation.
She reveals to Norimichi that she wanted him to win and accompany her when she ran away from home. When Nazuna’s mother catches her and drags her away, the young girl pleads to Norimichi to save her, and that basically sets the primary male character’s trajectory throughout the film.
After the third and final time Norimichi uses the orb, he returns to the train and ensures that his friends and Nazuna’s family don’t spot them. The train changes railway tracks and takes them to a strange version of their town, which seems to be enclosed in a colossal shimmering dome.
When his friends and her family catch up to them, and an angry Yuusuke shoves them off the top of the lighthouse, Norimichi wishes for no one to see him and Nazuna. The time reverts again, and the train they are on takes them to a reality of their own choosing.
As directed by Akiyuki Shinbo (with a co-directing assist by Nobuyuki Takeuchi), “Fireworks” tells the fanciful story of a mild-mannered teenage boy, Norimichi (voiced by Masaki Suda), and the beautiful object of desire who slinks into his life. Her name is Nazuna (Suzu Hirose), and the movie continually scrutinizes her body with the sort of prurience that feeds the skeeziest, most stereotypical assumptions about the filmmakers’ chosen medium.
Written by Hitoshi Ône, who adapted the material from Shunji Iwai’s 1995 live-action TV movie, “Fireworks” is a fantasy of happenstance. It squeezes the Sisyphean structure of “Groundhog Day” into the “what if?” mold of “Sliding Doors” (a train figures heavily into the plot), then adds a sexist dollop of Richard Curtis’ “About Time” for good measure. Some viewers, too, may detect a whiff of Makoto Shinkai’s masterful 2016 anime, “Your Name,” another romance in which the fates of two young souls become supernaturally entwined.

Watch from the Side?"), also known as Fireworks, Should We See It from the Side or the Bottom? is a 2017 Japanese animated romance film based on Shunji Iwai 's live-action television film of the same name.

The film received praise before it was released from several critics and journalists. Musician Koremasa Uno lauded the voice acting and said the film "doesn't feel like a work from Iwai or Hitoshi Ōne, the scriptwriter. Rather, it feels more like the anime of the studio creating it, Shaft, and its producer, Genki Kawamura." Film writer Tatsuya Masutō wrote on his Twitter account that the "expectations surrounding the film did not disappoint, and the anime could be better than the original live-action drama." 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". Kim Morrissy of Anime News Network gave the film an "B" grade and applauded the "great music and voice acting" and the "simple yet emotionally compelling plot" but criticized the film's production values and visuals that "don't really add anything to the film except to broadcast that it was made by SHAFT". Mark Schilling of The Japan Times gave the film a rating of 3½ out of 5 stars and praised the film's "pure-hearted love story". 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."
When Yusuke pushes the two off from the lighthouse balcony, Norimichi uses the marble once again, wishing for no one to see him and Nazuna. Time jumps back again and the train takes a different route, leaving the two in a strange reality with the town encapsulated in a glass dome.

It is summer in a certain seaside town. As the big fireworks festival approaches, drama is unfolding at the local junior high school. Norimichi's crush Nazuna will soon move away because of her mother's remarriage. Concerned about Nazuna, Norimichi meets with her at the fireworks festival.
This isn't storytelling, it's poetic musing on choice and consequence and adolescent passions. Fireworks are used as membranous imagery, holding the narrative together as it gets more and more abstracted and detached from reality.
