Gekijouban Fate/Stay Night: Heaven's Feel - II. Lost Butterfly

This is a film that is made for Type-Moon x ufotable fans through and through. You will especially get a lot of out of this film if you have already read the visual novels and have seen all the previous main Fate franchise anime. Ironically, the core hook of this film is its story and characters, which I didn't think was going to be the case because I just simply didn't think they would go in such depth in exploring the themes and characters in a humanistic way.

I've been a fan of the Fate series for a long time. And these films somewhat rely on the viewers already having knowledge of the series as a whole in order to fully appreciate them. Like the first film, the animation is spectacular. Zero complaints there. The fights, when they happen, are flawless and a true spectacle to see. Where this film suffers though is the pacing. What should have been the climax of the movie ended up happening about halfway through, and the rest of it was a somewhat slow burn until the end credits. The Fate series is known for its Servant battles, but this one didn't give us one to top off the third act like the first one did. Bottom line is, if you're already a fan, you'll enjoy this despite the pacing issues. Could have been better, (Unlimited Blade Works is still the superior rendition of the Stay Night routes so far in my opinion) but it was fun, investing, and left me wanting more.

This trilogy movies of Heaven's feel Deserve 10/10 you can't compare this movies to other anime movies. You can't find a mistake in this movies.

Animation 10/10 Anime drawing 10/10 Ost 10/10....everything is this anime is 10/10 Recommended to everyone . You will not regret watching this masterpiece.

In the end this anime has what a great anime should have, bloody over the top violence, comedic scenes, amazing soundtrack, great animation, sex, and a very intriguing story.

This is a second part of a three part film, and it does bring up more questions than answers. Despite this, I believe you will enjoy the action scene (unfortunately there i only one action scene in this movie and it takes place in the middle, although it is a good 15 minutes of nothing but fighting), the soundtrack by Aimer is good, the voice work is good (although there is a little bit too much high pitch screaming and yelling), and it has a cool final 15 minutes.

The fighting is ok but there are too many explosions, making it hard to see what is happening. A typical fight scene is like this, a person hits someone, there is a slight pause, then the other person flies off into the distance while there are colors and lights everywhere. The person then flies back and hits the other person, and the same thing happens. I wish we could had seen more of the action instead of a light show.

8/10

From my knowledge, this is the 3rd storyline of the Fate/Stay Night franchise. The first one was the original series while the second was the unlimited Blade works. However this time they are ding it as a trilogy and it was amazing to watch. Even though some scenes might be like a deja-vu but the different spin it took is really interesting and refreshing. You were left wondering what is going to happen but certainly without the certainty that something you thought is going to happen. The fight scene is this one is well written and animated. The most satisfying and intense yet. I love this franchise so much. Can't wait for the end of the trilogy.
