Hello, I’m back for another review.
Depression hit me hard for the past 2 weeks, so I decided to hold off writing blog posts. But now that I’m back, blog posts will be… semi-regular again?
I don’t want to promise anything because life has been a trainwreck so I might stop for no reason and without warning.
I finally got to watch this, I was so happy. Finally I get my closure for this route.
This movie is 122 minutes long, but I think it feels a lot longer than that.
Story
I think this has to be the best movie for sure, Sakura has been extensively sidelined for the past 2 routes, this made things EXTREMELY lit.
This route really did give her justice.
Since we all watched the previous 2 movies already (I presume), this movie just jumps straight into the climax. There is surprisingly not as much combat as I wished, but they did deliver some of the best combat scenes ever, since like 2010.
Rider vs Saber Alter really delivered big time, was on the edge of my seat for the whole 4 mins of combat.
The story somehow lacked that emotional drive that it had for the first two movies. I was expecting myself to be a little sad with the Illya scene, but it didn’t do much of an effect on me.
The whole movie was just action throughout the 122minutes, even the credits scene was exciting. I better don’t write too much things otherwise I would drop some spoilers.
All in all, great wrap up, this whole route has been extremely well done, it’s a whole lot better than UBW and Fate.
Go watch it, have fun and enjoy Asakawa Yuu.
Animations
Ufotable, of course.
No way to not love this animation quality. Its definitely the best looking show I have seen so far in 2020. The combat scenes are extremely lit. The colors is extremely vivid, but not too overly saturated. I would love to watch this movie in HDR.
I am absolutely in love with artstyle.
Music
There is nothing much to really comment here since they pretty much used most of the OST from previous movies.
There are new additions and the ending song as well. But all of them are pretty great.
Voice Casts
I don’t think I need to write much here as well, since everything is copy pasta from the previous films.
I really appreciate Asakawa Yuu’s performance as Rider. She nailed the role extremely well, especially since she’s the main Hero in this route. Enjoyed every moment with her voice in it.
Scores:
Story: 9/10
Art: 9.5/10
Music: 8/10
VAs: 9/10
Highly recommended, I think I don’t need to even say this. I mean this movie is highly anticipated from all the fans who watched the previous films anyway.
Okay that’s it for me, since my writing drive is back, I will be getting the Plan-To-Watch post done tomorrow.
I will see you all then!
I’m sad to hear that things have been rough on your end. I hope that things will at least improve in your situation, and well it’s great to see you back with a new post! 😊 Thanks for the review, and take care as best you can😊
