“Sublime” is an overused term of praise for too much in anime today. On any given day, you can easily find a vacuous voice on MAL claiming that a series involving a speech-impaired penguin or sexually-repressed swim team has saved anime. While I usually roll my eyes when reading such tripe, “Fate/Stay Night Heaven’s Feel” may be the first Japanese cartoon that actually lives up to this standard.

For those of you unfamiliar with the series, the basic setting is a small city in Fuyuki. 7 historical figures are summoned by 7 “masters” in a fight to the death. Once a single servant and master are read more

Ill keep this brief, Fate Stay Night Heavens Feel - I Presage Flower can be an awesome ride, depending on how you go into it.

The Fate Series is infamous for being confusing and a challenge to even figure out where to begin watching. And while i can understand and even endorse newcomers to watch Unlimited Blade works by ufotable (or even god forbid the two deen adaptations) i highly, highly, HIGHLY encourage people to make sure they have a sound knowledge of fate before they go into this Trilogy.

I watched the Australian Premier of the film, and even there i witnissed many confused faces. This movie can be a mess if you dont understand a majority of fate, but if you do, the movie is fantastic.

This is easily the darkest adaptation of Fate, and while alot of what makes it dark is yet to come in the sequels, the beggining of the trilogy can paint a impression very quickly.
Quickly ill note, the characters are great, (much more expressive then usual), and alot of characters that didn't get much more screen time in UBW (such as Rider, Kirei, Shinji, and obviously Sakura) get a lot more development, at the expense of other characters such as Fake Assasin and Caster and her Master (also don't go into the movie expecting Gilgamesh.... he is basically not in the movie).

Similarly I was surprised how much screen time Taiga got, which led to some funny comedic moments that didn't pull me away from the mostly bleak atmosphere the rest of the film maintained, (and I mean bleak in a very positive way, the general atmosphere of the film is chilling and engrossing).

Unfortunately like with all Fate routes, Shirou is still a fairly incompetent protagonist and as always makes numerous face palm inducing decisions. However by this point i have come to accept who Shirou is, and if you are familiar with the Fate series, hopefully you will have accepted who he is as well, (and too be fair, he is not nearly as incompetent as he was in past adaptions). Another small gripe I had was how much Rin was in the film, which was not a lot, but I wont put that against the film considering how much development she got in UBW, I just personally like her much more then Sakura, who spends most of the film looking miserable until her glorious Senpai arrives.

The Animation is fantastic, easily the best looking anime related adaption i have ever seen in terms of presentation and polish (or though it can lack personality and style in some instances) and the fight scenes are amazing, except for a few instances in which I felt the battles moved a bit too quickly and had some jilted animation (such as the Berserker fight) the Music is also fantastic, with the Aimer ost being great.

Overall i really enjoyed The first Heavens Feel adaption, and recommend it to people, but only if they have a decent understanding of the fate timeline, otherwise they will get very confused very quickly as the foundation of the plot is basically a montage in the opening.

I was going to give the movie an 8/10. but the Kirei Kotomine scene pushed it to a 9/10 (if you have seen the film, you know exactly what scene I'm talking about... nom nom nom)

***This will be a pretty spoiler-free review. I'll hint at certain things but major plot reveals will remain unsaid.***

Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel is another installment of the Fate/stay night visual novel series. The visual novel encompassed three parts, Fate, Unlimited Blade Works, and Heaven's Feel. As you can already see (looking up the series on MAL), we have already received adaptations of the first two routes of the game. This film adapts the beginning 8 or so hours of the Heaven's Feel route and I have to say, it's quite the package.

Going into this film I had knowledge of the material it was going to read more

THIS REVIEW CONTAINS SPOILERS

This will mostly be a character driven review, so I suggest you to leave if you don't want spoilers.

I'm amazed and filled with melancholy.Those are some of the emotions the movie gave me. I'll start off by saying that Heaven's Feel is, without a doubt, the best Fate anime adaption thus far.

When I first heard that Heaven's Feel was going to be a movie series, I was a kinda baffled, I had my doubts: how could three movies deliver without rushing the source material? All those doubts were destroyed when I finally saw the first movie: the movie format, presentation and content actually gave Heaven's Feel a boost that couldn't have been possible if it was a TV series. Before I go in depth to analyze various aspect, I must warn you that the movie is graphically violent compared to pretty much any other adaption of the franchise, precisely because they could get away with it given the the theatrical release. That, combined with the fact that the movie director teased sex scenes in the next movies, is the reason why I must advise you to avoid this movie series if you're younger than 16. Without spoiling what's coming, the route gets pretty heavy in both violence and sexual content.

First and foremost, this movie is a character drama rather than a war between supernatural beings. Yes, Heaven's Feel is unique in that it is a slow burn rather than a bombastic experience. The Holy Grail War and most of the servants take a back seat in favor of the development of the human characters, in particular Shirou, Sakura, Rin and Kotomine. I must say that this was an extremely ballsy and risky move, with potential catastrophic results considering how many people are drawn to the franchise precisely because of the nature of the Holy Grail War, and how much of a popular character Saber is, who is pretty much a side character here. And yet, destroying all my doubts, the movie beautifully delivers what it wants to be. That's the main aspect that sold me about it: the movie knows EXACTLY what it is and doesn't pretend to be anything else. I like confidence, be it with people of products, and as a result I was truly happy that the movie never betrayed itself an stayed true to its premise.

The meat of the movie is the relationship between Sakura and Shirou. What really impressed me is how the director portrayed these two as beautiful, fragile souls that deserved to be happy with each other. Both Shirou and especially Sakura have suffered immensely in their past, and the movie goes all out in showing that, even with lacking the amazing powers and charisma of Gilgamesh or the intellect of Rin and Kirei, Shirou and Sakura have amazing inner strength that keeps them going. Through the movie, the director masterfully conveys the chemistry between these two, as you get the impression that they really understand each other to the point that they naturally get drawn to each other.From the comic relief scenes with Taiga and Issei teasing both of them about their relationship, to the more heartwarming and intimate moments, you can't help but want those two to be happy.It's the little, down the earth moments that make this relationship stand out, like Sakura''s decision to help Shirou with his daily chores since Kiritsugu's death. It's admirable how a person that suffered so much still goes all out to help those she cares about. The duality of their relationship, innocence and admirable will power, is pretty much the backbone of Heaven's Feel as a whole, and, with spoiling what's coming, it will pretty much explode in the most horrifying and beautiful way in the next movies.

Speaking of other characters what stood out this movie for me was Shinji. This Shinji was different from the Shinji in the rest of the franchise. Or rather, it was the same Shinji, but more human. Shinji in Heaven's Feel is different from the cartoon villain he was in UBW. What was a laughable, mustache twirling pushover is replaced with a much more sinister, desperate and bitter being. Don't get me wrong, Shinji is still an absolute despicable human being, but this movie presents him in a new desperate dimension, a much welcoming change from the one dimensional villain in other routes.

The other characters are pretty much the same as their other incarnation, with them being put in a much more otherworldly situation by the horrifying pseudo Servant known as The Shadow. The Shadow is more of a force of nature than a villain so far, despite being the primary antagonist other than Zouken and secret Servant. What I must remark about the Shadow scenes is how masterfully the direction captures the Lovecraftian and errant nature of this being. Historical heroes, known for their daring and glorious actions, are pretty much horrified every time this thing appears, with the lightning of the scene becoming more and more blueish/dark the more it advances. The message is clear: the Shadow doesn't have a concept of dead, it's pretty much impossible to destroy.

While the Shadow is more of a nightmare fuel inducing force of nature, the secret Servant is more of standard villain.The secret Servant is an average servant with a Noble Phantasm really good at killing people. Starting off as a brainless insect, he becomes more and more intelligent as the movie goes on, and by making the best use of his deadly Noble Phantasm while managing to turn the situation in his favor when The Shadow appears, he's pretty much THE main badass aspect of the movie, a nocturnal killer as deadly as the Shadow itself. Still, as said before, this aspect still takes a backseat compared to the relationship between Shirou and Sakura, but it doesn't stop this guy to have the best fight Ufotable ever animated thus far.It's pretty much the main noteworthy fight of the movie and oh boy, Ufotable really delivers.

Despite those horror-like moments that will most likely be increased dramatically in the next movies, the more funny, slice of life scenes during the day are also a treat, especially the glorious Kotomine eating spicy food scene. He gets so hot that he starts unbuttoning his shirt, revealing his manly pecs. This little funny scene still has its meaning: it's kind of a "breathing moment" between all the heavy, more serious staff. That's what I really love about this movie: everything happens for a cause, everything has it's meaning that beautifully blends together.

The art of the movie is simply stunning.To put it simply, you could pretty much stop the movie at any moment and use the images as the background of your computer. The vivid popping out colors and the amazing lightning are an absolute joy for the eyes to see. I was very impressed by how evocative the background were, an absolute masterful work and the best Ufotable ever did. The animation is also amazing and, especially during the longest fight scene in the movie, you could see how much it benefits from being a movie. The more graphic violence helps to highlight how dangerous those supernatural beings are, it gives off a sense of danger and "heaviness" that other part of the franchise didn't have.

The OST, while standard Kajiura stuff, really helps setting the mood of the movie, from the frantic battles to the more somber moments. To put it simply, if you know who Kajiura is, you know exactly what to expect from the movie in terms of music. Nothing revolutionary, but pretty good at helping the atmosphere. The voice acting is, as usual, flawless. I especially like how intimate Sakura and Shirou sound when they're together, but what stole the show for me was the hammy performance of the Secret Servant, who hilariously shares the voice actor of Gamagoori from Kill la Kill.

Overrall, the movie is pretty much a masterful character driven story where you can't help but love what you see, how those characters feel, and most of all, YOU ROOT FOR THEM. This is incredibly important. You want to see Shirou and Sakura happy, because they deserve it. The heartwarming moments mixed with the thrilling sense of doom make it impossible to get bored during those two hours, precisely because the movie goes all out at making you care for these two. Heaven's Feel is pretty much a personal experience: you can't help but get passionated with out Shirou and Sakura fight against fate against all odds, help each other and fall more and more for each other. Their relationship is, simply put, genuine. A must watch for all lovers of character driven, slow burn stories about two people connecting with each other, and a fantastic opening for a trilogy which will most likely end up as one of the best anime movie series of all time.
