Synopsis

One summer, Norimichi Shimada and his friends want to know if fireworks look round or flat from the side. They forge a plan to find the answer at Moshimo Festival's fireworks display. However, Norimichi finds himself conflicted when his classmate, Nazuna Oikawa, plans to run away from home and wants Norimichi to join her. When things go awry in their attempt to escape, a strange orb in Nazuna's possession gives them another chance at staying together.

Anime Review: Uchiage Hanabi, Shita kara Miru ka? Yoko kara Miru ka?



People have their own opinions about Uchiage Hanabi, Shita kara Miru ka? Yoko kara Miru ka? Some people mock it as a terrible anime movie, often critiquing its pacing, problem with 3D animation, or failure to express emotional attachment.



But I think this anime deserves some extra points for its original story, gorgeous artwork, and quirky charm.

Mixed Feelings
I watched this film after it spent an unholy amount of time being shelved on a watchlist, slowly gathering dust over the years. The primary reason behind such a long delay was due to my high expectations for it, due to the phenomenal 1995 film on which this one is based, the involvement of Shaft, and the music and OST that I had previously heard.

Needless to say, that backfired tremendously and the fact that I was a major fan of the 1995 film meant the plot failure for this adaptation only highlighted how it fared against the original. If this were an independent or original ...

I’m really not sure why this movie pisses me off so much but it really does. It’s simple but nonsensical and completely meaningless and not at all impactful. The animation is stellar but my compliments stop there. It’s not even offensively bad it’s just so painfully nothing. It didn’t beat me up and take my lunch money it just sat in the corner of my room menacingly for 90 minutes. I can think of so many better uses of 90 minutes…actually I don’t think I can think of worse ways to spend 90 minutes. This movie makes me unreasonably upset.
