'Fate/Grand Order: Shuukyoku Tokuiten - Kani Jikan Shinden Solomon', is the finale of a 7+0.5-part story of Master Fujimaru Ritsuka and his journey to restore the world from the 'King of mages', Solomon, along with his companions otherwise known as 'servants' like Mash Kyrielight.

Art & Animation – 7.9/10
It was nice. The CG, like its predecessor Babylonia, is pretty good in my opinion, especially when used for large beings, the sense of scale and weight it brings is impeccable. I would say that it has improved since Babylonia even, looking smoother in comparison.
The art style is the same used with Babylonia, so if you like ... Babylonia's art style, you'll like Solomon's too.
Attacks bring impact as well, having watched it in cinemas, when paired up with the bass, really brings forth the feeling of weight in every attack, which is very nice.
However, there weren't as much action as I would have liked, which is a bit of a disappointment

Sound and Music 8/10
Following Babylonia's example, it's quite good, especially with the aforementioned bass in attacks, bringing that sense of weight. The OSTs are also nice and appropriate for the situations that they are used in, the ending song 'Eternity Blue' by Ayumi, paired with a 'scene' as credits is very good, really fits with the scene.

Characters 6.2/10
While it was cool to see the servants that I have fought alongside with on the big screen, animated, having played the game, there were much less of them than I had initially hoped and the ones that appeared have very few interactions, with maybe a line of script or so and a few attacks here and there for some, the rest being a borderline still portrait which honestly, having played through the game, is really quite disappointing.

Story 8/10
The story is quite the highlight of the film, aside from my disappointment with the character appearances and interactions, I thought that the way they told the story was really quite good, they inserted all of the key parts of the story and in a way that I feel is done quite well. It being a 1hr 34min film, it is inevitable that cuts will happen here and there, and I personally felt the story was cut in a way that although impacted servant interactions semi-heavily, the story was largely left unrushed, which was impressive, me personally having lost faith in movies under 2 hours.

Overall – 7/10
I still thought it was a nice movie, just, having already played the game and experiencing it beforehand, I would have much rather seen more interactions of servants and battles rather than it being very story focused, but that's just me since I have already played through it, bringing somewhat unfair expectations. However, got to see more servants on the big screen, and that's always a win.
I feel this movie will be good for people that watched and liked Babylonia. For people that have no interest in 'Fate' or for fans that have played the game, this movie will likely be a miss for them, based on what I can tell from me and my group of friends.

*Please note that this review will have minor spoilers for the FGO game in Camelot, not the movie for the first part of the review.

"This was the most 6/10 movie I've ever watched in my life lol" was the first thought I had when leaving the Cinema, and it basically summarizes my entire review in the simplest manner.

'Fate / Grand Order: Shinsei Entaku Ryouiki Camelot 1' is the first part of a two-part movie featuring our 'Master' Fujimaru Ritsuka with his companions or 'servants' like Mash Kyrielight, and their journey to restore the world from the 'King of mages', Solomon. In which, they find themselves ... in the 'Holy Land' located around Jerusalem as their sixth mission to save humanity.

Art – 8/10
It was actually quite nice, way better than what I had originally expected after looking at the trailers and overall score of Camelot which was at the time "6.80", so it gave me quite a positive surprise when watching the film. An example of this would be during reminiscence scenes, the art style changes to a more "Painting-esque" style. Almost like looking at a series of historical art depicting actual history played in a smooth and seamless manner. I personally thought that those scenes were quite cool.

Animation – 7.3/10
For the most part the animation was pretty nice, nothing overtly worth mentioning, so nothing amazing and nothing eye rotting. However, one of the reasons being that a lot of scenes of conflict were cut out, like the battles with Cursed arm, the infamous sphinx fight, the fight with Ozymandias etc. So a little bit of cop out, but I can kind of understand since time restraint and all but can't help feeling a bit of disappointment. However, there are certain time where the animation is pretty "hmmm" which I will go into more detail in the spoiler part of the review.

Sound and Music – 9.4/10
The sound effects and background music of this film are actually very good, capable of making the viewer quite immersed in the film. If the situation called for a more dramatic track it does so and if a more melodramatic track is needed, it does so again appropriately. One particular thing I would like to especially point out, from my experience, during a 'rain scene'. For a moment, I actually thought that it was raining outside, but then the thought of "Wait, I'm in a cinema inside a big mall, how can I hear rain?" Then it hit me. That was a pleasant realisation. Next, we have another amazing song from DAVINCI CHAN. 独白 or "Dokuhaku/Monologue" by Sakamoto Maaya which arguably can be said to be the best part of the film not going to lie, in my opinion that is.

Characters – 7/10
As I am an active FGO player, I love the seeing the characters from the game finally being animated seeing them moving, living and breathing is a great feeling. That being said however, because they are in a movie, they're not being used to their fullest potential I feel, with either some characters being outright cut out, like Tawara Touta and Hundred Personas. Some characters are just in and out, showing themselves for brief moments at a time and then focus on them is lost, which was quite a bit of a disappointment once again.

Story – 4.7/10
To be perfectly honest, the story is the Achilles heel of this movie, a lot of scenes were pretty rushed and quite a bit was removed, so any build up and all that good stuff is just kind of eh. Instead of a journey, it just feels like a linear path instead. The order of events was also shuffled around for kind of no reason, guess they wanted their own personal touches, but to me it was just a bit confusing since I completed Camelot in the game a year ago. It also ends in a very weird and anticlimactic way that leaves the audience with a thought of "Eh? That's it?", so that's quite a big negative point there.

Overall – 6/10
Honestly, because my country wasn't the first to receive this film, I had an insight on how the overall film would be from seeing the reactions of people who watched it before me, of which were pretty negative, so I went in with like a 5/10 mindset, but because of that, I actually quite enjoyed myself to a certain extent as it wasn't as bad as I had originally thought it would be, so that was nice. Can't say the same for the other two people I was with tho xD.

THE FOLLOWING WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS FOR THE GAME UP TO SOLOMON AND THE MOVIE









still here? Aight, here we go.




Firstly, the scene with Gawain was actually pretty cool, seeing him using his blessing of the sun and overpowering absolutely everyone, especially when he turns that part of the world sunny even though it's in the middle of the night but the murder of the boy's mother could have done with a bit more impact, it was like partly forgotten almost, mash's "Lord Chaldeas" was pretty cool tho as well as Davinci fisting the door down and the burning corpses of the people not chosen.

Secondly, they could've shown Davinci more, seeing that it's her first time out in a Singularity she just kind of upped and left to "Die" which was again kind of a disappointment.

Thirdly, they didn't fight Nitocris, the sphinx or Oxymandias, here I was waiting for a "Dajaku! Dajaku!" but Nito and Mash bath scene ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) very nais. But I'm still salty lol.

Fourth, considering that Cursed arm was supposed to protect this settlement he was very trusting of the "Outsiders" extremely quickly contrary to him in the game which made more sense, considering his heavy responsibility.

Fifth, the fight with Tristan was very anticlimactic, with Tristan being like a stationary aim-bot, not moving a single step and being taken down with a single strike that he could've most likely avoided. That was a bit kind of a turn off for me.

Sixth, "STELLAAAAAA!!!!" Was extremely disappointing, probably my most anticipated part of this film, was seeing Arash's NP. I was expecting an epic shot of an archer's last desperation, but what we got was a melodramatic normal shot that blew up…. a bit… yep a small bit. That was f****** anticlimactic as f***. I get that they were probably trying to make it seem like a sad moment but god damn, they didn't even accomplish that, that arrow was the embodiment of disappointment. It was akin to "I fart in your general direction". This was a massive disappointment especially since after the animation update, it looks so good in the game. It didn't even show him die, he just got forgotten and Rhongominiad went "Welp guess I'll go home." And then the movie ends.

Lastly, a lot of interaction between the characters were cut out which is a bit understandable but damn. It really made the characters kind of mediocre which is sad, since I love Fate servants.

First of all, would like to state that this film has popped my review cherry after hundreds of anime/movies watched. That in itself would mean of either two things, that it is terrible or that it is a masterpiece. Fortunately, it is the latter that is true. This masterpiece of a film has managed to make it my personal favourite route of the big three routes with three 2-hour films compared to two seasons of 20+ episodes each and one single 24 episodes anime. Now proceeding with the review.

‘Heaven’s Feel III: Spring Song’ the final part of the trilogy of the original visual novels with ... “Heaven’s feel” being the last to be animated and ‘Spring song’ being the third and final part of the “Heaven’s feel” movies by ‘Ufotable’ bringing the conclusion with it following after the previous two parts. Bringing about topics like Emiya Shirou’s determination, fate and goal of being an ‘Ally of justice’, the losing battle of Matou Sakura against herself, the goal of Matou Zouken and the biggest question of all, who or what is the black figure and what are its intentions.

Animation and Art – It’s perfect… great, no one’s surprised. With the cliff hanger left on ‘Heaven’s feel II’, ‘Ufotable’ surely knew that their fans would be hyped as f****** maybe more hyped than ever before especially with the delays due to you know what, they had the time to perfect their craft to fulfill on said infinitely high expectations, and they delivered, with many scenes from this movie being desktop worthy, some may even want to hang it on a wall somewhere to showcase such amazing art and animation that catches your attention every fight scene. Even if you by the means somehow dislike the film you can surely still appreciate the art and animation.

Sound and Music – ‘Ufotable’ had managed to make every sound effect immersive and in fight scenes, impactful, with close ranged shots seeming that every hit, could be fatal and wide ranged background shots portraying the intensity of the battles. With background music being extremely pleasant to the ears, portraying the scenes it was allocated to very well and last but not least, music. Aimer bringing yet another f****** banger, ‘Haru wa Yuku’ ‘Spring goes’ giving us a perfect representation and view of Sakura’s current mindset of the start of the movie.
Personally, I waited for a couple months to listen to it, so I could get the first-hand experience while watching the movie, and it was god da** worth it. Extremely good song. Sasuga Aimer

THE FOLLOWING WILL CONTAIN SPOILERS
If you haven’t watched the movie yet, shoo…. shoo…
Come back after watching, it's great.









still here? alright, here we go




Characters – Everybody gets development and reaches their highest potential including Kotomine Kirei, a welcomed surprise and Shirou for once, rejecting his goal of being an ‘Ally of justice’ for Sakura.

Story – Absolutely incredible, paced amazingly leaving me no time to feel bored and was thoroughly watching the film. Some scenes that I personally really liked were firstly, the scene with Kotomine Kirei at the start, them having their little talk where it Shirou got to learn more about his Kiritsugu and to further confirm that he is indeed not following his Father’s footsteps like in Unlimited blade and the ‘saber route’ but instead, he chose to save Sakura, a minority over the majority even though it might be at the cost of many other innocent lives, something which Kiritsugu would never do.

Secondly, the scene where he used Archer’s arm of course with the classic music in the background and, “Can you keep up with me?”, “No, can YOU keep up with ME”, not going to lie, was pretty hyped at that part lol. Leading to the fight with Heracles him using ‘Nine lives blade works’ instead of the usual ‘Unlimited blade works’ was a surprise, but a welcomed one and the tad bit at the end with Heracles’s backstory/lore of him holding his greatest regret, killing his children in a feat of madness caused by a god, proceeding to look at Illya and proceeds to SPEAK, that’s right, SPEAK, I personally didn’t even know he had a voice actor even in FGO I do not think he has ever spoke once, so that was an epic moment.

Thirdly, the scene with the founders which sidenote kind of funny how it resembles the story of how Singapore came to be, just a funny thought. Continuing on, it was pretty incredible seeing how the ‘Holy grail war’ came to be, with the founding families each sacrificing something of their own for this project and Kischur making an appearance. It also shows who I presumed to be young Matou Zouken where he isn’t this fucked up parasitic dried raisin but rather, what seems to be a compassionate man, with maybe even a romantic interest in the head of the ‘Einzberns’ at the time, showing his reluctance to sacrifice her life for their shared goal.

Fourth scene, the scene of the Tohsaka sisters battling it out with Sakura’s over confidence in the power she obtained and her sister blowing that confidence away with the ‘Jeweled Sword’ a f****** 3 star common ce in fgo I might add *ahem* went of in a tangent there, continuing on, with the end of the battle seeming as though Rin was going to strike down her own sister but….she couldn’t….even though her provoking at outright saying that she’ll kill her, she simply couldn’t kill the little sister that she loves. An amazing scene portraying familial love.

Fifth scene is the scene of the renewal of the Emiya vs Kotomine battle where instead of Kiritsugu, it is now Shirou’s time to fight them going at each other just bare-knuckle brawling each carrying their own beliefs and goals competing with their fists. With Shirou winning by a slight chance, with the sword portraying from his body at the right spot, impaling Kirei’s heart, immobilizing him bringing victory to ‘Emiya-kai’ once again lol

Sixth scene is the scene where Shirou takes steps to try and prevent the birth of Angra Manyu like his ‘father’ once did, but this showing his reluctance to when the time came. That’s where Illya came in, and gave him an option where he did not have to die, where she could take his place, asking the question “Do you want to live?” Shirou ultimately finally cementing the fact that he’s not Kiritusugu, states that he does indeed want to live, proceeding to Illya’s ‘death’ where she reunites with her mother in the grail. (Still no Kiritsugu reunion :,c I’ll do it in fgo xD)

Last but not least, the finale where they show the lives of the characters after the events of the movie. Showing that Sakura and Rin have bonded over the time trying to regain the time that they lost, leading not showing Shirou anywhere, but nearly in the last moments, “But one thing never changed.” Showing Shirou alive and well, “but how? They clearly stated that his body was gone.” you might ask, that’s due to some smart***’s play on words with his body gone but soul still present lol. Now the scene beforehand showing them going into a shop with a puppet body and them releasing some light (Shirou’s soul) into it, making the puppet the host for his soul. Ending the movie with what I presume a class reunion with a flower viewing and showing Sakura taking a step forward with Shirou beside her, symbolising that she is moving on. SAKURA FINALLY GETS A TRUE HAPPY ENDING F*** YEAH!!!
Honourable mentions to the scene where Shirou using rulebreaker to free Sakura, didn’t realise he could do that for some reason, pretty smart. Overpowered noble phantasm lol and the dried parasitic raisin finally dying and taking a look at what he has done and become over his life of 500 years.

All in all, it is a fantastic film and what I believe to be the best of the three, maybe even topping zero, still debating on that spent $50 for some merch and an early viewing rip wallet but entirely worth it, hopefully everybody gets to watch this masterpiece. 10/10
P.S.(pls saber route remake Ufotable)

Now if you’ll excuse me, time to FGO
