Originally done as a live-action film back in 1995, Uchiage Hanabi, Shita kara Miru ka? Yoko kara Miru ka?, which is localized as Fireworks, Should We See It from the Side or the Bottom?, was announced for an anime adaptation back in December. With the project planned for an August 18th, 2017 theatrical bow, the recent trailer for it has now gotten some English subtitles to make it more accessible thanks to distribution in Hong Kong through Edko Films. It’s definitely an appealing film from the visuals that we get from it and the staff for it is definitely a good reason why it looks so good.
Akiyuki Shinbou is serving as the chief director with Nobuyuki Takeuchi serving as the hands-on director. The scripts from Satoru Mosaki with animation by Shaft.
The Japanese cast includes Suzu Hirose as Nazuna Oikawa, Masaki Suda as Norimichi Shimada, Mamoru Miyano as Yuusuke Azumi, Takako Matsu as Nazuna’s Mother, Kana Hanazawa as Miura-sensei, Junichi: Shintaro , Toshiyuki Toyonaga as Kazuhiro and Yuki Kaji as Minoru.
Plot Concept: Schoolchildren Norimichi, Yuusuke, and Junichi want to know if fireworks look round or flat from the side. They make a plan to find the answer at a fireworks display, while Nazuna schemes to run away with Norimichi or Yuusuke, whoever wins at the pool.
