WHAT A MASTERPIECE. I WANT TO SCREAM OUTSIDE AS LOUD AS I CAN IF I COULD. Oh man I truly love this series, the word "love" is not enough to express how much i love this series. It meant a lot to me, it's like finding that One Piece.
This movie gave me joy, gave me the feels, it gave me life, the reason to keep living. Everyone has a moment to shine and it was clear what their motivation was. Kirei is way too amazing in this movie and it just made me love more and more about him as an antagonist, he's the epitome of greatness itself. I'm also aware that he's one of the two victim who's screen time got cut in the trilogy so i'm excited to play the VN.
Rin was really spectacular, this is where she peaked, the scene where she face up against Sakura. Her heart to heart moment with Sakura was really emotional and amazing and showed more of her personality that we didn't know in UBW. My favourite scene was when Rin is confronted with the truth that she have never thought of saving Sakura before despite she has the power to do it, she clearly regrets not interfering about it sooner. Even when she is fully ready to kill her for the sake of others but eventually she decides that she can't go against her own feelings that care about her sister and decided to not kill Sakura and resign to her "death" (there's prob more but need to read the VN lol)
I don't even need to say about Shirou, he's amazing as he always is but more interesting than ever. Leaving his self destruction ideal for the sake of one girl, i'm proud as Archer is. His payment for using Archer's arm was portrayed greatly but I believed the VN did it better but I love how he gave up literally everything to save Sakura and Sakura only but he chose to live instead right before he used his final projection. I can now finally acknowledged how amazing Sakura is as a character, her struggling with her dark emotion while trying to prove herself was quite well done. Now I have all 3 heroines as one of my fav characters in animanga.
SALTER VS RIDER WAS FUCKING AMAZING. TOP 1 FIGHT IN THE FATE SERIES. UFOTABLE REALLY REALLY SNAPPED WITH THAT FIGHT. LITERALLY GOOSEBUMPS. "RHO" "EX" "AIAS" "CALIBUR!!!!" OH MAN JUST TYPING THAT GAVE ME GOOSEBUMPS. But I'm honestly very disappointed they butchered Kirei vs Shirou but I understand it just wouldn't work in this movie.
That final scene with Illyasviel was very heartbreaking and made me tear up, Shirou crying was really a sight to see as we never seen him like this and Illya reuniting with Irisviel was really something special. Easily one of my favourite moment in Fate.
I want to limit myself from typing because I can go on and on but.
Thank you Ufotable for putting your heart and soul for this movie and all of Fate, thank you for bringing my One Piece to life. Can't wait to start this route in the VN.
My Ranking for Ufotable Fate:
UBW >= F/Z >>> HF, each one have a 10/10 entry.
