Fate / Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works [Blu-ray]

Finally after more than 5 years we get another dub for the FATE series. In the past ADV dubbed the original 26 episode series Fate/ Stay Night and after going bankrupt, Funimation picked up the series only for distribution purposes (they only sold the series, not re-dub it) and the supplies were limited. Now after many years, Sentai Filmworks come out of nowhere and release the movie which follows the alternative route (Unlimited Blade Works) of the visual novel. Most on of the original cast of voice actors return and it does sound like the original (though personally I would have preferred if they got better VA for some characters). The script is slightly modified with less cursing and some changes to certain one-liners but the Jap. version is also on the disk so feel free to watch it with subs if you want a harsher language. The image quality is great, true HD 1080p on blu ray and looks fantastic. Not many extras on this other than some trailers of other shows from sentai though :(Overall I'd say its a good movie, it is somewhat rushed at the start, but if you seen the original FSN, then you will feel right at home with this one. Me being a huge FATE fan, I cannot take points off for the voice acting since they went out of their way to gather most of the original cast back after so many years and I also cant deduct anything for the slight script alteration (since it happens with all the dubbed anime), plus you can always watch it in Jap. if you want. Therefore I give this release a 5 out of 5 stars and I hope that we see more future FATE releases from Sentai~

This is a great movie. While the introduction is brief and not all the relations ships are gone over with fine detail this is because this movie is an alternative path to the TV Anime, which has around 26 episodes. The Japanese Visual Novel on which both are based has three main and very different story paths that focus more on certain characters and so the endings of each path and who was important in the story differ in each one. Both the anime and the movie are canon since the tv series focuses on the Fate path focusing on Saber's identity and purpose while the movies focuses on the Unlimited Blade Works path which reveals the formerly unknown (to anyone who only watched the anime and didn't play all 3 paths of the game) identity of Archer and focuses more or shiro's development as a hero. If you like memorable characters, awesome battle and heroes with real ideals and conflict get this show. And the tv series and then get it for friends and maybe theyl take the time and do an mini season of the third path Heavens Feel.

First off, This movie is vastly inferior to the visual novel scenario for Unlimited Blade Works. It is also even inferior to the Fate/Stay Night animation. But that is OK, and here is why.If you are a fan of Fate/Stay Night and either cannot or would rather not deal with the visual novel format of this story, this is a must watch just to get into the Unlimited Blade Works scenario, which is the one most integrated into the plot of Fate/Stay Night. So if you really want to know what some of the symbols in that animation meant, even though some of them were pretty blatant in and of themselves, you need to see this.Some people complain that this is abstract and hard to follow, and they are right. But this production pretty much presumes you have either played the visual novel or seen the anime series, and so most of the abstracted bits are repeats of details covered in these works. After all, this is another scenario of the same events rather than a separate distinct event, so retelling all the details would just be a waste of time. Also, even beyond this, the Fate universe is very complex and contrived and so outside the [very] long form of the visual novel difficulties are going to be natural. I suppose this is not really an excuse as much as a trade-off made in the production the animation to avoid making it excessively long and therefore expensive.Regardless, It is just pretty plain cool to see some of the events from Unlimited Blade Works happen in full animation even if you are familiar with them. If you look at this disc as just being that it is still worth it.I would not recommend this to someone who either hasn't yet been exposed to or doesn't care for other Fate works. Then the downsides outweigh any benefits this animation can offer. But then again, why on earth would you want to expose yourself to such spoilers to begin with?

I already have seen this film like a bazillion times! This series in general is my most beloved anime series for me of all time. It never gets old to me. This is the first anime series I want to collect merchandise for. So I went ahead and got this. I love how I have the option to watch it in its original language(Japanese), even though the English is actually pretty good. This won't disappoint if you are into supernatural, action, romance-type stuff with a bit of school life and comedic elements thrown in here and there. The artwork just blows me away as well as the story-writing of course, by the same guy(Kinoko Nasu) who wrote Tsukihime(another favorite, second to the Fate series imo). So if you have not checked this out yet go for it!^_^ I highly recommend playing/reading the visual novel also for the full experience of the story. But if you really hate hentai/eroge, best avoid it, lol.A definite five stars!!

If you’re into Fate Stay Night enough to want all the versions you’ll be glad to have this :). Honestly, the story fares better in both the series versions, but it’s kinda hard to compare a film to a series in that regard.

Está muy entretenido el juego, si eres fan de fate, lo debes de tener en tu colección, no te arrepentiras

I accidentally ordered this one. Then found out it was the Deen movie, not the Ufotable show.Am much sads

the edit was a rushed job but it is worth the money for fate fans because it answers some of the questions about archer that could only be found in reading the manga until now also it shows you what could of happen in fate stay night if things had played out different so if you a fate fan and don't mind that the edit is a rushed job like me i say buy buy buy. if you can stand rushed job edits i say still buy because it answer all them unanswered question about fate stay night that have bin rolling around in your head lol or just read the manga but buying this DVD sure saved me some time.

Fate Stay night ist mein lieblings Anime and Gal-Game.Und Rin Tosaka ist mein lieblings Maechen.Im TV Serie ist den Saber-End,aber eigetlich finde ich die Rin-End----UBW besser.Und jetzt gibt es den neue Film fuer den UBW,das freue mich sehr‾‾‾‾Trozdem ist den Handlung des Films ist ein bisschen schnell,aber es ist immer ein wundebares Animefilm.Deswegen diese BD muss man kaufen und sammeln‾‾‾‾ ^_^
