NEWS: Fate/stay night Film Sells 44,000 BDs to Rank #1

Anyone who watches this without having played the VN is pretty much going to be lost. Even if you've seen the TV series, you're still going to be somewhat lost.

That said, the action scenes were awesome. Even if there were a few setbacks, it was much better than I expected out of Deen.

I can confirm this. Having not played the VN, I really had no idea what was going on. I guess that's what happens when you try to shove that much content into a 105 minute movie.

But yeah, at least the actions scenes were amazing.

Nice, how about a Heaven's Feel route next, Type/Moon, to finish things off.

Now can we get this in R1? Pretty please.

It's not even a matter of being lost if you haven't played the VN, the movie can only work at all if you've played that route. Stand alone is impossible. Good visuals and fun to watch, but very sloppy construction and scene progression. I can't recommend it to any except NasuVerse fans, whom it was most likely made for. There is absolutely no wide appeal to this title, so it probably won't see any theater runs. Even if you've seen the TV anime, the movie is so poorly tied together that it will seem as if 40 minutes of exposition were cut out.

ufotable needs to get crackin' on Fate/Zero already.

Deen needs to remain in the dust...
