Worth a watch. It was a perfectly ok movie with interesting ideas. I personally would not own it digitally or on a disc, but renting it is still very worth it. Nothing incredible compared to anime like "Your Name", but I think that it was pretty enjoyable to watch. I read and watched some reviews, and there is a generally low rating for this movie. I think that people rate "Fireworks" too low because they are comparing it to some of the best anime out there. Can't knock it till you try it. The reviews I saw made me expect a mediocre movie but I still had a great time.

Visually breathtaking, this is a film with enough emotion to touch even the heart of old cynics like me. A fantastic story about the choices made in life and how, maybe, we might change our fates. The characters are loveable and you really do root for them. A wonderful, and wonder-filled, anime you will watch more than once!

Not good, they tried to make a music video into a film and it feels very lazy and rushed. Rampant 3D and "animation-saving" techniques done. Could have used another 2 years in the oven. Extremely disappointing.
