I wonder if they'll go for a yearly release or just release the second movie around the middle of 2018 and the last by the year's end. Whichever the case, I always thought the multiple movies route works better with Type-Moon VNs than the anime series one due to their weird length. As much as I like the UBW anime a few less runtime and a bit less slice of life would've made for a better general experience.

Now we know we'll just have to wait a year apart between movies, and Lost Butterfly certainly feels like a subtle, fitting title!

I’m still itching to check out the first installment of this trilogy. I just really want to see how it stacks up against the hype since many people consider it the best route.

Yuki Kajiura didn't compose the music for Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works. That would be Hideyuki Fukasawa. They did reuse a couple tracks from the Fate/Zero soundtrack at key moments though.

The "slice of life" bits are my favorite parts. Really getting to know the main cast is what makes all the spectacle and drama worth it. It's what separates a good technical writer who is never able to fuse any genuine soul into his works like Urobuchi (speaking as someone who has seen every single thing Urobuchi has ever penned, anime or otherwise) from an actual good writer.

Agreed, the slice-of-life parts are what I enjoy the most since it's, to be a bit cliché, demonstrative of what the heroes are fighting to protect. Also consider that the original VN takes place over a period of 2 weeks, and it's not not-stop battles day-in-day-out, there's a lot of rest and waiting for other parties to make a move. What do they do in between? Go to school, hang out at home (it's an eroge, so yes, in bed sometimes), go shopping, etc. There's some amount of scouting and planning, but, knowing what kind of person Shirou is, there's just as much people telling and forcing him to relax and train and just live.

I get where you're coming from and I really did enjoy those scenes in the novel but always felt that they overdid it in the anime. I mean, it does make sense to have such scenes in a twenty or so hours route but in the novel where you can just start and stop playing at any one moment. Given, I watched the anime weekly so I can't really tell if the experience is different when you can just marathon through it. It did, however, strike me as too Visual Novel-y for an anime, which is complaint I have for quite a few things in the UBW anime, really. I mean, if you're adaptating from text to images you can change things around to make the overall experience better. To compare, I feel the Tsukihime manga actually improved on the original work by cutting, adding and changing things around.

They never felt too forced in the anime imo. I loved ep 12 and when the action started I was like "Oh come on can't we just go back to the date?!?!"

Shirou and Archer yelling at each other for 3 weeks in a row while Rin was still being raped/murdered in the back room felt forced D:

I'm not a fan of Fate Stay/Night in general, but I'd rather have the characters take breathers than waste time in pointlessly overextended fights.

Thank you for pointing that out. We fixed the credits in the article to mention she was the theme song composer for UBW.

I also thought those were too visual novel-y moments. Those extremely talky fights are just too damn Nasu. UBW just took all his worst traits and just played them straight, unlike Rakkyo which did alter things enough to actually make the overall experience better (Oblivion Rocord notwithstanding).
I guess I just don't think that Nasu's style translates too well to an anime format. Not without some changes. And that's coming from a fanboy who still longs for a Tsukihime and Mahoyo anime, mind you.

I've always been annoyed by Type-Moon fans (not you) but I found they have the most magnificent cows if the adaptation isn't just like the VN, Fate/Stay Night (2006) for example or the manga adaptation (I hear less complaints about the manga though). They also tend to kiss Ufotable's butt way too much, and I can hardly wait for the hype backlash to hit this trilogy once they all start complaining about whatever is cut from these movies. The fact that they are the easiest fanbase to troll or that they get triggered if you so much as say that you like Studio DEEN, makes it too funny to set them off.

Hopefully it's in early 2018 just so we can get 2 movies next year.
