Aniplex of America will hold the North American premiere of Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel III. spring song at The Orpheum Theatre in Los Angeles on April 17 at 7:00 p.m. The company describes the film's story:
"I'm determined to become a hero of justice for Sakura." To save the girl...to enact the justice he's chosen...The young man will no longer turn a blind eye to the truth.
Mages (Masters) and Heroic Spirits (Servants) work together in the battles of the Holy Grail War...a fight for an omnipotent wish-granting container called the Holy Grail.
However, this war has become horribly twisted.
A young woman named Sakura Matou, with the sins she has committed, drowns in the murky darkness.
A young man named Shirou Emiya, who vowed to protect Sakura, works together with Rin Tohsaka and throws himself into the raging battle to put a stop to the Holy Grail War.
Illyasviel von Einzbern, as one of the few who knows the truth behind the conflict, confronts her own fate, while Zouken Matou uses Sakura to try to fulfill his own desires.
Will the young man's wish reach her even as he challenges fate itself, battling against the rising tide?
The Holy Grail War is coming to an end...
The final battle is about to begin.
The film will open in Japan on March 28.
Tomonori Sudō (Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works, Fate/Zero animation director) is directing the films, and ufotable is animating the work. Yuki Kajiura (Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works theme song composer, Fate/Zero music and theme song composer) is composing the music. Takahiro Miura is providing the storyboards.
