Fireworks is a unique anime adaptation of Shunji Iwai’s 1995 live-action film, blending teen romance with time-travel themes and layered symbolism. Although the animation quality feels underwhelming for a theatrical release, the film redeems itself through a meaningful soundtrack and emotionally charged storytelling. Through Norimichi's repeated returns to moments of regret, viewers are invited to question whether his experiences are alternate realities—or simply vivid escapes from guilt and loss.
