Fate/stay night Heaven's Feel I. presage flower

The first Fate/stay night TV anime series centers on Shiro and Saber's perspective in their life-and-death struggle to overcome all odds to survive the Holy Grail War. Then, the Unlimited Blade Works film and TV series puts the perspective on Rin Tohsaka during her life-and-death trials alongside her Archer servant. Now, Fate/stay night returns with a brand new compilation film trilogy that centers on the eyes of an ordinary girl named Sakura Matou.

Fate/stay night Heaven's Feel
I. presage flower

Heaven's Feel is one of the Fate/stay night arcs that focuses solely on an ordinary girl named Sakura Matou, whose Shiro promises to stay her out of harm's way during the brutal war for the Holy Grail and how her involvement would forever change the tide of the story we are familiar with. This is the first of the compilation film trilogy, titled presage flower, and in the beginning of this film trilogy, we get to witness Sakura Matou's point of view in the middle of the Holy Grail war that invoked so much brutal murders across Fuyuki City ever since Shiro's promise to keep her safe from harm.

While we get to see some of the familiar faces from the Fate/stay night TV series, this different perspective, which is different from the original and UBW, adds some dramatic taste to the story we are familiar with and just by putting so much emotion and emphasis, the first Heaven's Feel film is rather good and we can expect more to happen in the next two films. The feel of this film is what keeps the fans' hearts pumping with emotion, making them impossible to think about the rest of the story and since this is the first film, it really is impossible to think what's next in Sakura's perspective of the Holy Grail War so best to be prepare for the next installments while making do with the first film that adds drama to the story we know and love.

My rating: 4.1 out of 5.
