Fate/stay night Movie: Unlimited Blade Works

In Fuyuki City, the Fifth Holy Grail War is about to commence a lengthy battle of blood, death, and misery. High school student Rin Toosaka has trained her entire life for this moment—to become a magus capable of being a Master in the war. Summoning her Servant known as Archer, Rin finally sets foot into the battle.

Discovering that one of her acquaintances, Shirou Emiya, is drawn into the war as well, Rin offers to form an alliance for the time being. And as the two of them grow closer, Rin begins to learn more about Shirou's fate and ideals. Nevertheless, her goal remains the same: to win the all-powerful relic that can fulfill the wishes of those who are victorious after the war—the Holy Grail.

As-salamu alaykum
i merely write reviews some time. as a result my reviews are short and express everything in one time. But ill try my best fill you everything i can.

Start with story, many of seen it and very difficult to understand that changing of story and make it so heartless story line and Shirou couldn't save every as he did in Fate/stay night. I think maybe cause of Archer decided to kill Shirou. We already heard Archer is Shirou Emiya Future self that will became hero some day. Archer objective here to kill Shirou Emiya order to change the fate of his own. that ... means it not the recap of Fate/stay night. it is just another story about the same character. So archer back story is Fate/stay night and fate/stay night movie about another route where Shirou future self means Archer try kill his past self. This is all its about. and to me its really amazing movie. i personal think its pretty cool.

Now talk about art, to me i didn't seen any major different from fate/stay night to converted in movie. they did seem same to me but little improvement they did made.

About Sound, i wish they work on it more 6 out of 10

Characters are the same as fate/stay night. they are not that interesting but they could do it much better.

Enjoyment, i enjoy it every bit of. they didn't make same things in the movie changing it give me new experience. It wasn't waste of time at all. i will love to recommend this anime for you. but better you start watch fate/stay nigh unlimited blade works series. You will find more interesting then movie. Everything you will see in more details.

Overall experience, they fuck up but still its good


And sorry for bad English writing

Mixed Feelings

I've completed this movie without watched the series version, but i've watched fate/stay night 2006 before. In my opinion, this movie is totally great, their battle scene and plot is more better than 2006. But, i just can give them 8 from 10 because im kinda upset why gilgamesh is defeat when he fight with emiya's hero form, considering gilgamesh is the king of kings (and the oldest kings) and i thinks he will not defeat too easily with future hero. i will more understand if he loses to saber who the strongest king (as it happened on 2006 version ending).

Im planned to watch their ... series version to got more information because this version is really short (if i don't watch the 2006 version before, im pretty sure i will confuse to understand the plot).

Watch the 2014 TV adaptation by studio Ufotable instead.


This movie is intended as a companion feature to the 2006 TV anime Fate/Stay Night.

Adapting Fate/Stay Night's second route [Unlimited Blade Works], this movie rushes through the story from start to finish. It cuts most of what is redundant from what was shown in the 2006 TV anime, flittering from one key moment to the next. It emphasizes its differences from the [Fate] route and is somehow able to maintain a coherent plotline, despite its runtime.

This movie adapts the graveyard fight scene quite well, and the Archer storyline was also delivered faithfully. Thankfully, there aren't any spoilers ... for the third route [Heaven's Feel], which would have been surprising given how strained for time the movie is.

This is actually a surprisingly good companion to the 2006 TV anime because several of the scenes missing from the [Unlimited Blade Works] route movie were inserted into the TV production.

The visual novel Fate/Stay Night is officially available in English, as of August 7th, 2024, and is a good way to experience this story in a way other than the 2014 TV adaptation.
