Ok, so I just finished watching UBW. Now I have only seen Fate Stay Nigth the anime, and I tought it was great. I have not read the visual novel, so I was unaware that this movie was following a specific arch in the visual novel. There were a lot of things that I wasn't expecting to occur in the movie, some I did enjoy while others I was disappoineted:

Spoiler:

-The main thing that I love about the movie was the mayor improvemnet in the animation department compared to the anime; The figth scenes were really fluied and flashy. The music was also a major plus.

-The movie was really rushed and it would of have been really hard to diguest it all if I haven't previously seen the anime beforehand.

- The lack of Rider in the movie was really disapointing. I mean at least one decent figth with Saber like in the anime, but I guess it would of have made the movie longer.

- No mayor involvement with Sakura at all. Kind of disappoined because she did play a part in the anime, but ...oh well.

- One of the most gruesome sceens in the movie was when Gilgamesh literally rips the heart of the liitle girl(don't know her name, sorry) with his own hand. I was like "Seriously, they had to kill a little girl that way?". I was shock that the movie went there.

- I didn't expect Archer to turn. I mean, it is not common in anime for a good guy to suddenly turn into a bad guy.

- Saber becoming Rin's Master. I was really suprised when that happend.

- Shiro vs Archer: Shiro Wins; Archer bleeds to death. Later at the end of the movie, he comes back and helps Shiro and Rin against Gilgamesh and the Holy Grail respectively. Archer being alive made no sense.

- The ending was "ok" I suppose. I mean, Saber wasn't really the major focus of the movie compared to the anime, and seeing her just disapear as soon as the Holy Grail is destroy was just "Oh, she's gone ...wtf". After that scene, I kind of realized that the major focus of the movie was Shirō/Archer. Seeing Archer with Shiron's hair at the end was a nice touch.


Overall, I did enjoy the movie, as a Fate/Stay Night fan. Now, I would like to read the Visual Novel just to help me diguest better what was suppose to happen in the movie.

well, since they're aiming at 100% adapting the "Unlimited Blade Works" Route from the VN

here's some pointers that will maybe change your disappointment into nothing

i'll be pointing out facts that Happen in UBW route, not in FAte Route
Spoiler:

- Rider Vs Saber does not exist in UBW route. Quote from Type moon Wiki "Rider was killed early on in Unlimited Blade Works by Caster's master, Kuzuki Souichirou"

-Lol, yes it's obviously rushed, because you probably can't sit there watching it for more than 5 hours.

-Illya getting killed by Gilgamesh was in the route, and about how gruesome it is, it's not that gruesome... there's much more awaiting you if you Read Heaven's Feel Route. And to begin with it's by Nasu, he's a heartless genius which is awesome.

-Archer turning against you = Plot twist.
one of the major things UBW was so GAR.

-Once again Plot Twist, and it's a GOD tier plot twist.
Rin and Saber is literally the most powerful Combination

-Archer being alive makes sense if you know how the Servant system goes.
He has a (kinda forgetful) a +A rank in independent Actions, meaning that he has more than enough Mana To survive without Mana from his Master. this can means he can barely heal himslef for a a limited time.

-Well, if you Know the VN, it splits into 3 routes

1- FATE, this is more about Saber and Shiro's ideal to becaome a hero
2- UNLIMITED BLADE WORKS, More about Rin, and the idealism battle between Shiro and Archer EMIYA
3- HEAVENS FEEL, more about Sakura and Shiro abandoning his ideals to save the one that He loves most which is Sakura.



My memory is kinda sketchy, so better wait for Uzumaki for more details, since This is favorite route.

Yea most of the important things has already been said so...

I already expected it to be a little bit bland in comparison of the VN but hey, it isn't easy to fit UBW in a compressed 125 minutes, and imo, they did a fine job.

Fortunately enough, I'm not that much of a Rin fan so I didn't really care about the lack of romance. If you ask me, I fucking rejoiced to see Shiro go rampage when he felt Saber dissapearing.

But haaa~, I'd pay a damn lot to see the good ending instead of the true one yknow what I mean? My heart broke for a second during that moment D=.

Anything involving Archer (Zero) getting his ass handed to him is a good thing in my book.

Having watched the movie without the experience from actually playing UBW, I have to say that, largely, it got by on eye candy, music, and combat, which might not be a bad thing at all.

You're quite right in every single point you bring up. However, for people who played the VN and fell in love with the UBW route, the movie was, yes awesome, but lacking in a few points; some of which you even enunciated. I was basically was pissed off at how there were no RIN X SHIROU moments. I mean UBW route was all about RIN X SHIROU. Seriously, you played the VN and you knew the route was about that and you felt the feelings of Shirou for her. I don't even think there was even ONE moment where either of them said I love you or that they loved them (in their thoughts). That's what pisses me off.

Well, there were at least the tsundere moments between Shirou and Rin. But, yeah, the only thing they ended up saying was that Shirou "liked" girls like Rin.

Wait, were you calling me? Ah well.

Well, what Kaimax said is all true. That is all. (too lazy to type anything long today)


Fun fact:

Spoiler:
The routes represent a certain moment in life

Fate: When you're a Kid, and chasing a single dream, it becomes bigger and bigger.

UBW: When you're a teenager, when someone tries to force down your ideals, you still stubbornly stick with yours and continue on wiht life

Heaven's Feel: When you're old, and you realize that your dream is nothing more than a dream, and you learn to let it go.



So i've heard


EDIT

Figured out why when Archer appeared unscathed at the final battle.

Spoiler:
It's because he's still Shirou, right? And as far as I know, Shirou still has Avalon inside him. Which means Archer has Avalon inside him too. And since when Saber is around in the present time activates Avalon, that quickly healed Archer's wounds


Occured to me while eating chicken, mind you.

This was a well animated, well produced piece of work, but when compared with the full story from the VN, it lacks in a lot of areas. I would like to see Heaven's Feel and Fate route done in this manner.

Now, if they will just make a PS3 version of F/HA, we can have voices in the F/HA VN.

I think hes asking that because it was "hard(if his Clannad thread is anything to go by)" for him and took a great deal of time to finish.
