It's quite impressive, actually. Of course, I'd probably be kind of pissed if I went there myself to see it... but it makes for a great YouTube video.  :D

You'd be pissed to see the best 30 seconds of pyrotechnics since the Battle of the Somme?  :P

"Explosions like 10 times of the sun went around Henry Freeman but Henry Freeman didnt care" is all I could think of.

That was pretty freakin' sweet. Too bad they couldn't do something like that for a finale instead of a whole show, though.

Holy crap, why did I not start watching One Punch Man earlier? This is the best thing.
probably figured an autobiography wouldn't be interesting

Pretty much mandatory.

The difference of course being they were in a sealed container. Still lovely though.

Holy shit, that is terrifying (especially the big explosion, which really reminds me of a generic scene from a movie).

That was pretty darn impressive. I'd almost rather see that than an extended display anyways.

V for Vendetta?
No, although it is visually like the explosion in V it is a entirely different feel.
More of a tropeish thing really, wherever someone is holding a camera and a explosion goes off nearby and they fall to the ground or whatever. Not any individual scene (although there are many individual scenes that would qualify), but more of the idea of it.

I have some friends down there that I'm going to be visiting next week who were actually there. One of them knows a guy who works with the company and he says that it was a computer malfunction that set them all off at once. I'd be pretty bummed if it happened actually, get all worked up to see an awesome fireworks show and then miss it. (Of course after being present for a 1-hour fireworks spectacular for a country anniversary in Italy most fireworks shows seem kind of tame. :P)

The real response to this is "Do you think that they are getting hired for next years show?" With the answer being "Nope!"

Oh, that's happened to me before. Always read what's on the little text box before you click 'Yes To All'.

I'd rather see a fifteen second artificial sun than a fifteen minute fireworks display anytime.
