The first surprise regarding Heaven’s Feel I is that it’s very solidly constructed splitting a large tale that also requires plenty of new material to work in standalone fashion wasn’t an easy task, and as someone who’s personally tired of the original F/SN routes after a decade of overexposure, the mere idea of taking only 3 films to adapt this was daunting. Those of you looking forward to the first Fate/stay night Heaven’s Feel movie, which premiered in Japan earlier this month, please enjoy this long set of notes on the film and the work of ufotable’s crew – worry not, no spoilers! And while this will definitely not cause people to do a 180 on either the franchise or the studio, I recommend that those of you who were on the fence give this a read.
