Synopsis Schoolchildren Norimichi, Yuusuke, and Junichi want to know if fireworks look round or flat from the side.

That's incredibly insulting to both of those guys. |
| wow, adapted from old tv drama. anyone watched this? |
 |
| That Synopsis sounds like it's trying too hard to imitate Inio Asano's writing style. |

| Shunji Iwai is great and Nobuyuki Takeuchi is great. Hyped for this one. |
| i heard lot good things from original source it self... hope not dissapoiting... any actual original source viewer here?what can i expect? |

| Well anything made by SHAFT is a must watch for me. Hope it turns out to be entertaining. |
 |
| Nobuyuki Takeuchi is great, and this is his directorial debut. Looking forward! |
 |
| Nobuyuki Takeuchi = instant hype Shaft movies always brings the best of them |
| Never seen the live-action film, but I'm sure gonna see this anime adaptation. |
 |
| I can't wait for the head tilts :) |

SymphoniacTippy said: Yeah me too. I've seen it done well and I've seen it done poorly. When it's done poorly, it just comes off as insulting to the person who gets fucked over.jak123 said: If a contest gets to decide if you get to be with her, it doesn't sound like she's worth it to me... Actually I've seen this a lot in films in all honesty. It's not really a bad idea per say. .-. But it all depends on how its executed, but that's just how I see it. |
| I've watched the original movie...thus my initial reaction was "Why?". Having watched the trailer my reaction hasn't changed. Wait and see eh? |
| Shaft adapting a live action series from many years ago..interesting. Solid staff choices as well, I'm quite interested now. |

 |
| Oh this sounds like it could be sweet, I like fireworks ^_^ |
 |
| Can't wait! And yay for Shaft! |
 |
| I've heard of anime turned into live action, but live action turned into anime? Has that been done before? Also, Miyano Mamoru is in the cast <3 |
| Looking forward to this but... how long do I have to wait to see Owarimonogatari season 2??? |
| wow just by looking at the staff this seems like it will be a great movie!! very exited to see this ! |
| Sounds like it would be cute if they were like, 8 year olds. But they look and sound older. Kinda cringey.. |
 |
| My god, that cast.... |
BlueBalls said: The impression I had of the original TV movie was that it didn't have any loose ends. I remember it as a low key production and I thought the young actors in the show put in pretty good performances. It was quite charming. d-yaro said: I've watched the original movie...thus my initial reaction was "Why?". Having watched the trailer my reaction hasn't changed. Wait and see eh? What's the original like and why do you ask "why"? I guess my question "Why?" came from the perspective of what I remembered of the TV movie. I guess part of question came from how I didn't think the original had had enough impact to warrant a re-imaging 23 years after it had been broadcast. (But then again, I wasn't aware the movie had been repackaged for a run in the movie theatres in 1995.) Plus I remembered the show as being good enough such that I felt it ought to be left as is. But that often isn't the case here in Japan. |
| You had me at SHAFT. Looking forward to this. |
 |
| Actually surprised that no one mentioned that the characters are from Akio Watanabe. |
