Review of Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel - II. Lost Butterfly

Sempai, Sempai, Sempai? UmU. Sakura finally getting the attention that she deserves as best girl, this is the second movie so if you haven't seen that obviously do that first (though keeping things general here so all my points apply to both movies.) Art: 10/10- Good art is pretty much expected for Ufotable but this goes above and beyond, I was thinking it was realistic and even cool, but then saber goes and whips out her bloody glassing beam of a sword and my mind is officially blown, considering that I don't normally care for the art in anime that is a lot. Sound:9/10- is inthe same ball park, keeping a theme of extreme suspense in every scene, it only scores a 9 because nothing really stood out to me but considering that most of the sound track is there to compliment the mood there isn't much to be done about that, does what it sets out to do which is perfect.

Characters: 10/10- character development done right here it's not drawn out but adds so much to the backstory of Sakura and rider in particular while also hinting at future developments with the other characters but never gives and exposition dump *cough*fate zero*cough*. by now you know the characters, but this not only builds on but has twists for all of them which I loved.

Overall: 9/10- I gave it a perfect score everywhere and so I am really being unreasonable here but the transitions are lightning fast and so if you haven't seen the first film recently you may be left behind. I have also played the visual novel and while I do think that what they changed was fine and necessary (it's a 20 long story for just this route at least perhaps longer) I think that a couple of changes cut some charaters from the story, Zoken is sidelined and while Kire the priest has an important role there is a lot more that he could have done that wouldn't have particularly added to the run time and is incredibly important to his character.
Basically watch it sempai...
