Uchiage Hanabi, Shita kara Miru ka? Yoko kara Miru ka?

The main characters have to fix major problems in their lives using a macguffin that allows time travel. Both have above average animation but The Girl Who Leapt Through Time beats Fireworks in that department by far. 

Same art style, sound design, similar look between the female lead in Uchiage Hanabi and Senjougahara, and the supporting guy in Uchiage Hanabi with Araragi. Some Akiyuki Shinbo's trippy visuals. 

The protagonist travels through time repeating the same moments to help a loved one. It is an internal struggle of your feelings and what is right for everyone. 

Non Non Biyori and Fireworks both, for the most part, follow a group of friends doing normal things in a rather rural town. They're both really calm anime, but not necessarily bad. Tho they may feel incomplete at times, they both make it up with their amazing soundtracks and characters. 

Although the bad rating that most people gives Uchiage Hanabi, I feel this movie has a lot of emotion on visuals (I mean, it's Shaft), and really in the story, although a lot of people who watch it thinks it's disappointing. I mean, it's not your conventional movie. You can feel there's a lot of plot holes but you can feel too that these are made intentionally, making the story unique with these actions of the main characters. Not only that, but it's also amazing how they make the visuals tell the story. How that sets apart the reality from the imagination of Norimichi. For my opinion, this is not a powerful movie such as Byousoku 5 Centimeter, but it's fantastically made and I think more people should give a try with an open mind, and not thinking that this movie is about the love of two young students (because it isn't, and some reviewers say that the movie fails on that part when it's not what the story is all about), but about the differentiation of reality and what it's not. read more 

"Natsu e no Tunnel, Sayonara no Deguchi" and "Uchiage Hanabe" are two summer films that share a fair bit in common, both in visuals and storytelling. -they both take place in the summertime in a costal small town in Japan -the protagonists are high school students and have similar personalities and character designs -the plot of both are romances with a supernatural twist involving time-travel -the endings are a bit similar in the two films -they both have awesome ending songs Personally I really liked "Natsu e no Tunnel", and I really didn't like "Uchiage Hanabi", but that's just my opinion. They both give off a similar vibe so if that's your thing you might want to check one or both of them out.  read more 

Both involve love, time travel, growth as individuals, and fireworks. Fireworks serve as a symbol for, among other things, life, light, and the strength to keep going. Irozuku is a longer series given that it's a TV series and gives a chance to get to know the characters in a slightly deeper sense than Uchiage Hanabi. While Uchiage Hanabi is more "magical realism" and there is an element of mystery to the plot that drives a lot of the conflict, Irozuku is very clear on the framing device being magic and instead focuses on the character growth specifically. 

-Both came back to past -Both want to live there love person -Both romance 

Both of the anime have beautiful art both of them have MCs who have deep connection Both the anime have MC who uses a ball or glass with mysterious powers.  

- The Main Characters get the chance to fix something in the past with a mysterious power. - The Main Heroines have problems with their parents, Main Heroes try to save them from that. - Boku dake ga Inai Machi is darker, because it involves mystery & murder. 

Two films with very interesting and original ideas, executed in baffling and frustrating ways that have a good chance of leaving you annoyed. But they both have some good elements to enjoy if you can look past that. 

Both Penguin Highway and Fireworks exemplify what I love about animation: they take a ludicrous premise and manage to create something utterly charming. Two beautifully animated coming-of-age stories that grapple with sci-fi themes, both films explore emotional struggles commonly experienced by their protagonists' age brackets.  

Here are two of the movies that made me theorize on explanations the most. - Both works are centered on a main couple who are separated by the adversities of the timeline and whose "destiny" initially involves distance. Hello World, however, spends more time than Uchiage Hanabi developing the couple's relationship. - Consequently, both works present similar messages about the power that each person's choices have and the act of fighting against destiny. In this sense, the romance is treated according to very passionate representations, with a frequent motto "fighting against all obstacles to be with those you love". - Both Uchiage Hanabi and Hello World present a setting of different timelines and parallel realities. This factor, however, will probably be more palpable to the public in Hello World, in which there are dialogues together with takes from the director that better explain his complex Sci-Fi and the bases of his universe. In Uchiage Hanabi, although there is a Sci-Fi tag, travel between different realities works in a more supernatural and unpredictable way, and the clues left for interpretation are much more open, which can confuse those who are watching. - Both films are recommended for the viewer who likes to theorize and interpret symbolic details in some scenes and chain others by themselves, as well as search for theories and discuss with other people. - The two shows also have relevant symbols in their titles. In Uchiage Hanabi, there is a metaphor for different realities through the dimensions of fireworks. In Hello World, the title is a reference to the events at the end of the film. read more
