Anime meets pyrotechnics in this fireworks spectacular near Mount Fuji. What happens? This event fuses two beloved cornerstones of Japanese culture: legendary anime and traditional fireworks. Think the goosebumps from a swelling anime theme song, now accompanied by choreographed pyrotechnics lighting up the night sky. Curated in collaboration with a major anime production company, this event brings scenes, openings, and endings from classic anime of the 1970s to 1990s -- generation-defining titles such as Astro Boy -- into an immersive outdoor experience. Every firework burst is timed to beloved songs from series you probably wore out your VHS rewinding.
