Heaven's Feel: The Route That Changed EVERYTHING

This video was pure bliss to watch and took all of my opinions about this trilogy (except the kirei stuff) and made it sound really fancy and well thought-out as apposed to the rambling that goes on in my head about how good it all is. A wonderful job Mr Anime in Retrospect

About Kirei, he's meant to be a dark reflection of Shirou, someone broken chasing after happiness and trying to validate his own existence. Yeah, it was better portrayed in the visual novel, the anime took out one of Shirou's best lines "I like Kotomine Kirei" (even though this was a bit of a mistranslation).

One tiny detail I really liked, and only picked up on after rewatching some scenes, is how Sakura's eyes change so much, even beyond the shading, which represents a state more than anything, but to the colour, showing who she has become. They start off blue, not unlike Rin's, later become purple, as the Matous separate her from her sister, then turning a blood red as the power of Angra gets to her, and then, when all is said and done, and she has finally accepted herself as Rin's sister (and maybe equal) once more, the true and proper blue of the Tohsakas.

I just got here after watching all 3 Heaven's Feel movies. I just have to say, that felt like a cinematic masterpiece, the music, animation, character development and so much more made it a near perfect watching experience. Not entirely perfect because Shinji exists in it (existed)

Ufotable did justice in portraying the despair-inducing yet greatly rewarding journey that was HF. As a fellow Sakura enjoyer, great video!

Best Route Ever. Sakura deserves ALL the happines in the world

I lost count how many times I have seen this trilogy. Great video fellow Sakura enjoyer.

I waited 7 long years to see this route adapted.... ....and it did NOT disappoint!

Amazingly well put together and relaxing to watch, I’m so glad someone’s still talking about GOAT Kara no Kyoukai

I'm glad you praised the OST for Spring Song as much as you did. That OST is god tier and I don't think it gets the recognition it deserves. Without the music the movie is great, but with the music the movie is amazing. I love retrospectives and I was thrilled to find this one talking about this trilogy. Great video

illya gets done dirty everytime. had me crying. Great video

Kierei thinks himself as a dark seed that was only recently sprouted. He views Angra as an extension of himself and his experiences. A dark egg that has yet to hatch. He naturally supports that. And it’s a way to see how someone he thinks is like himself can grow after birth. Ultimately, he’s batshit bonkers. And that why he’s here.

Thanks for aiding my carthsis from watching the trilogy, after Lost Butterfly I had about two days where I felt sad for Sakura, particularly realising it wasn't just this route but the 2 series as well. Spring Song helped but still processing feelings and thoughts about it. Anime can hit really hard sometimes and it's one of the reasons I love it.

How can I explain this. This video is really well constructed and you managed to put in words every thing that I wanted to say about it! Thank you for making this!

What a beautifully crafted video

This trilogy still blows my mind with just how well crafted it was. Could you have ever guessed this was in our future after seeing that CGI dragon?

One thing this anime did well was fuel my hatred for Shinji. Death was too merciful for that little rat.

God, this video is so good. I love this so much, definitely saving it

Before Heavens Feel I've always wandered why Sakura was shown looking out the window after Medusas death in the original Stay Night, it's as if there was some story just beyond a veil. Watching the previous routes just makes Heavens Feel experience all the more satisfying. Also I can't believe how some people think that Shirou isn't capable of at least threatening another persons life during the Grail War. He threatened Shinji to kill him if he didn't have Rider take down Blood Fort Andromeda, weather he was going to go through with it is unknown, but that shows that he can at least bluff.

this is one of the most amazing videos i ever have watched, please keep up the good work you will go places.
