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

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.

Notin beats the adaptation of this series, i just couldn't stop i couldn't even move it's that beautiful every moment every scene was notin but the best an anime could offer but this was too beautiful to content with i commend the author the crew and anyone associated with the production of this movie you stole my heart with your wok and i thank you 4 making anime what it is.

This movie is so awesome! Like I said for the first Heaven's Feel movie, this is my most favorite entry in the franchise, and this movie adds to the drama built up by Studio Deen's Fate and Ufotable's UBW. This is really intense!

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

Fate/Stay Night's expert subversion of modern heroic morality along with the excellent deconstruction of idealism is further exemplified in this amazing film. A combination of incredible animation and consistent balance of action and character moments creates a marvelous viewing experience that is both pleasing to fans and creates a solid foundation for itself in its own right.
