The first movie plays out mostly like what you’ve come to expect from the franchise with this bit of a twist until its final moments which see not only a major character “die” you wouldn’t think would bite it so early, it also sees the reappearance of Rider in her full strength mode to lay a smack down on True Assassin. The big difference in this storyline vs the others is that early in the War a mysterious Shadow starts to appear which can apparently ‘consume’ anything by touching it, even Servants, and promptly throws the whole Holy Grail War into a mess as several of the Masters realize they need to team up to stop this far greater threat. That first movie alone gives Sakura more development as a person and why she sticks around near Shirou than the rest of the franchise combined, and the second movie continues this with… uneven results. This whole storyline is focused heavily on Sakura (too heavily at times, we’ll get to that) so having seen Fate/Zero will help a lot in places too to understand whats up with her backstory, almost to the point of necessity actually since shes barely a character in any of the other incarnations and more than UBW this is the true sequel to the events of Zero. With that out of the way the first movie wastes no time on getting to new stuff which is what you’re here for anyway.
#Watch fate stay night heavens feel movie series
Because the opening part of the game has been done twice before in previous TV series they rightly decide to relegate almost everything with the first day to a montage over the opening credits so you’ll want to at least have watched the first couple episodes of Fate/Unlimited Blade Works to follow whats going on there. Lets get one thing out of the way first, if this is your first introduction into the franchise you’ll be confused approximately 5 minutes into the first movie. Being the longest story meant a TV series was a possible idea, before settling on doing a movie- and thankfully quickly realizing a single movie wasn’t going to work leading to it becoming a trilogy so as not to repeat the mistakes of the UBW movie.
Not so with Heavens Feel, which is focused on the three families behind everything and pretty quickly goes off to do its own entirely unique take on whats happening.Īfter the success of Fate/Zero and Fate/Unlimited Blade Works it was pretty much a no brainer that ufoTable would come back and finally tackle this story, the only question was in what format.
While Fate is a story about the Holy Grail War and Unlimited Blade Works is a story about the Servants there’s enough overlap between them that you can merge them together. This gets wonky though, so the important thing is to note almost all stories happening ‘after’ the events of the original game tend to follow the Heavens Feel universe yet barely has a presence in the original, not very good, anime series due to being a very different take on things. Its one of the three main stories from the original game and is arguably the most “cannon” 1 the game actually states that every story is cannon as theyre all happening in parallel universes. Heavens Feel has had a bit of an odd go of things as a story. Note: I will be reviewing the whole Fate/Heavens Feel trilogy, as such there may be some generalized spoilers for the first two and you’ll want to be sure to have read last weeks article on the Fate/ franchise as a whole.
