That moment Shirou decided to use Archers arm. That was where the nonstop action started. Connecting his present self to Archer in the future he saw a mirage of Archer challenging him Can you keep up with me? to which he refuted No can YOU keep up with me? followed up by the poweredup green Trace On coursing through all his magic circuits. Story: 9.5/10 I thoroughly enjoyed the pacing and the prose. While not nearly nonstop action as Id have hoped the slow paced moments were like the silence before the storm. It keeps you on your toes and many a time I had expected Tohsaka to cower and die then and there what a brave girl but she didnt. There were so many touching moments such as the entire Shirou vs Heracles scene where he traced all the way back to Illyas and his past the trust between Shirou and Rider leading to the combination of Rho Aias + Riders Noble Phantasm which Ill leave it up to you to discover and Illyas reveal at the end. The ending did feel a bit rushed though and slightly anticlimatic but other than that it was perfect. Art: 10/10 No qualms here. I wish I could draw well enough to illustrate what I saw so that everyone else can appreciate just how epic it was. I was blown away by how a simple exorcism? of Zouken could look so peaceful yet so cool. Sound: 10/10 Every bgm fit and nothing felt out of place. I particularly appreciated how the sfx illustrated how deadly each attack was and yet act as a fitting backdrop for those scenes where a character expresses shock or sadness. Character: 10/10 Heavens Feel is the arc where everyone reaches their max potential. Were given development for every character including Kotomine Kirei. During the fist fight with Shirou he revealed his true motives that he has been reiterating for ages. Not only did they mutually accept each other something which Kiritsugu couldnt do in Zero no dirty tricks were used which was very unlike the Kirei we have been shown. The same goes for Tohsaka. Were shown how she is unwavering seemingly uncaring and knowing the right thing to do as well as fully committing to it. But yet in the end at the crucial moment she couldnt. Similar for Shirou he was willing to give up everything just to save Sakura. But yet his wavered before he was about to conjure his final projection instead choosing I want to live on Enjoyment: 9.5/10 It was a rollercoaster of emotions. What dies might not say dead and people do not simply die when they are killed. No matter how dead they may look. The final master did his job thoroughly and skipped past the True End into the Good End. Alls well that ends well and were even given the cameo of some characters from the Clock Tower. There were no plotholes but maybe just a tad too much plot armour. Overall: 10/10 Id recommend everyone to watch this movie. There was also a present at the live screening which is related to the upcoming FGO movie stay tuned for the trailer which should be released soon
