Fireworks, the latest anime from Your Name producer Genki Kawamura, will be released on Blu-ray on November 20th. This sci-fi/fantasy film is about two people, Normichi and Yusuke in love with the same person, Nazuna. When Nazuna decides to run away from home with Normichi, something goes wrong. Normichi finds a glowing ball in the sea that allows the user the power to reset the clock and give them a second chance. However, each use alter reality. It sounds like a very emotional film (like Your Name, go figure). Bonus features will be announced at a later date — for now check out the cover below!

Producer Genki Kawamura follows up his mega-hit Your Name with another tale of star-crossed teenage lovers with a sci-fi fantasy twist in Fireworks. The breathtakingly beautiful animated tale will be released on Blu-ray™ and DVD on November 20, 2018 by GKIDS and Shout! Factory.

Shy Norimichi and fast-talking Yusuke are both enraptured by the same elusive classmate, Nazuna. But Nazuna, unhappy over her mother's decision to remarry and leave their countryside town, plans to run away and has secretly chosen Norimichi to accompany her.When things don't go as planned, Norimichi discovers that a glowing multi-colored ball found in the sea has the power to reset the clock and give them a second chance to be together. But

each reset adds new complications and takes them farther and farther away from the real world – until they risk losing sight of reality altogether.
