I played the singularity and camelot is my fav singularity so i was so hyped when i heard camelot was getting an anime adaption. I watched it and if i need to summarize it into a one sentence that would be "its absolute trash". And yeah i know this movie is made for ,us, fans i will write my ideas considering the fact the movie was supposed to be seen by who played the first 5 singularity at least.
I will start with the plot. But the problem is theres no plot to talk about, in game version the "plot" continued like go there do that go there do that until we defeat our enemy it wasnt great to begin. The movie makes it much worse and turns it into something like "teleport here do nothing teleport here" instead of traveling non stop.Most of the fight scenes were cut off and two major characters named Touta and Hassan of the Hundred Faces were cut off. Yet the studio made a freaking mash and nitocris bath scene. Yeah two hotties can have a bath scene but major characters cant get a debut. About the fights scenes they cut too much. I expected to fight scenes like where we fight ghosts and sphinxes etc were to be cut but oh boy... i was wrong they cut all of the hassans vs chaldea and ozymandias vs chaldea fights scenes which is a total bullshits cuz its IMPORTANT. And the dialogues werent that great. Camelot is the most depressing and philosophic singularity among the first 7. But we didnt even catch a glimpse of it in the movie.
I would have said art was pretty good if the MALE SERVANTS WERENT ON STEROIDS. Whats the deal with the gawain and cursed arm what am i watching jojo or fate.And Bedivere's noble phantasm... Its terrifying but not for the enemies for our eyes. Every frame of it was bad. Except the male servants da vinci's mash's and gudao's character design was too much off the source. Mash literally didnt have a genuine human neck. Except the character design the art syle is pretty good. I loved how they animated the noble phantasms and the place designs. Temples were gorgeous. I think place designs did a good job reflecting the people there. The last think i will say about art is Arash's noble phantasm. I didnt expect much from the scene but its stunning. I can say the movies best part is that specific scene easily.
Sound is the only thing thats great in the moviesi guess the ost's were great and the timings were great too. They are not on a masterpiece level but they are not bad.
Conclusion: If u are a ozymandias/sanzang/rhongomyniad/mordred/arash fan watch this. If not its a total waste of time. Just play the game. The movie was 1.5 hours and only 4 minutes of it (which is the stella scene sanzang vs agravain scene and the speech of ozymandias) enjoyable.
