THE LOST CAUSE (Spoiler Review)

As a Visual Novel reader i expected this outcome but i’m also not too upset... Watching Heavens Feel 3 let me down a bit as most emotional/key moments were cut short for the sake of time/budget & it really took away the impact the original story once had. For example, the anime adaptation neglects to show the consequences shirou had for using archer’s arm (such as extreme memory loss, struggling to move/fight etc) until the very end of the movie. UFOTABLE also shortened both Berserker & Kirei’s fights against shirou which like previously stated, took out a lot of impact there ... would’ve been, treating berserker like he was a minuscule obstacle to get to sakura when in fact he was much more, & turning Kirei & Shirou’s fight of ideals into a sakuga fest. The last 2 big things that bothered me were the fact that Shirou & Saber’s confrontation with each other at the end of their fight was cut abruptly, which held no weight whatsoever & even made me ask myself “was that really it?”, & the fact that Shirou’s homunculus has little to NO exposition at the end of the movie, which may’ve left some anime only fans wonder wtf just happened. Despite all of these faults i still enjoyed the movie very much as it was beautifully animated, some of if not THE BEST animation i’ve seen in anime, the music was great with it aswell. I didn’t find the adaptation to be to bad since i know the context from the original story/VN, just a bit disappointed.
