Fate/stay night [Heaven's Feel] II. lost butterfly

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!

Amazing movie the animation is on another level and is a fantastic entry to the franchise. A must for all fate series fans. The fight s in this are something else and I really believe that is the best movie about of the three heavens feel movies . The story keeps you at the edge of your seat . Definitely better than the first one in terms of the plot and a master piece compared to the fate stay night and fate unlimited blade works in terms of animation Incradible character development of sakura and Shiro and Saber alter is such a well drawn character . Congratulations to the animators for making such a 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

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 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.
