Its a very long VN, which is why it took a series to do it. Also the Manga already follows the UBW route. The series even left a lot of things out which make it confusing or leaves a lot of questions which all get answered in the VN. I imagine it will be like the original 2 Eva Movies.

You can read the VN faster than that...

Also reading is always longer than watching, if it take the same time you took to read the VN then it will be too much streched out.

It takes place over the course of... I think... 16 days? With each day even taking only ten minutes, it's past two hours.

It will HAVE to be at least three hours to do it justice imo, but that's probably pushing it :/

It is indeed 16 days, but UBW route really starts at 3th day.
They should just start the movie from 3th day.

Yeah, they'd gain a lot of time starting from the 3th day, but there are people who didn't watch the show and are going to watch the movie... well, I have friends that will do that.

IMO, it has to be at least 2h, but a sequence of movies would be better... They've done it with Kara no Kyoukai [but it's of ufotable, I know...], so it wouldn't kill to do with Fate. Two movies would be fine, I think.

Except that in the start with KnK they already said they would do 7 movie. Now it's one movie and if there's another latter it won't be the sequel of the first.

Perosnally i believe that, in order to make an acceptable (at least ) movie they need at least 100 mins. Though in order to reach the full potential of the VN it needs at least 140 imo. Dunno lets wait and see :D

Judging by the trailer, it's starting with the prologue. Wouldn't make sense for the route that is Rin & Archer's to skip the summoning scene anyway...

Oh my god please let them make the Archer vs. Lancer fight better than the anime's version.

PLEASE.



My mental video of that scene the first time I read it was so badass

I assume its between 10-15 hours but that depends on the individual. As for the movie, I get the feeling that its going to be quite compressed for it to fit in the 1-2 hour length of time. Let's hope it won't turn out into something like Tsukihime..

Actually he's kinda right, the story itself is really long, 12 - 24 hours reading is not an exaggeration. Well, obviously the movie is gonna be only arnd 2 hours max. It'll probably leave out stuff such as Shiro's dream sequences and Archer's dream sequences and other "less important" stuff like in the anime seeing as its the same studio directing. Hopefully the movie doesn't suck as much as the anime due to them cutting stuff and adding useless scenes.

I'm sorry you hit all the bad ends...

the whole thing would be "concentrated to 90mins" as said in some Jap magazine
so expect them to jump straight to "are you my master" and skip some fights

There is no chance that this arc will be adapted correctly. Why? Because the most important thing in UBW are personal thoughts of protagonists. And in anime series made by DEEN there's no time for things like that... So - this movie probably is going to be bad and inaccurate to vn arc. (^_^;)

Hmmm, well - if it'll be another studio (e.g creators of Kara no Kyoukai)... about 6-8 hours should be enough to make it as it should be done.

I hope that this time we'll get something at least better than F/sn anime - which was worst adaptation of visual novel I've ever seen...

You should watch the Tsukihime anime! That sucks even more than Fate/Stay Night does...

I agree that ufotable sould have done this movie. It would have been a way better choice than DEEN..

With a anime/movie its harder to go into the thoughts of the characters. I even heard complaints about KnK from the people who read the novels....

What I'm really hoping they don't do is cut out some of the awesome minor characters to give more room for Gilgamesh/Archer. After UBW, I was fucking GAR for Berserker and Lancer.

Everyone hates on Tsukihime and Fate's animations, but I loved them. Silly purists.
Anyway, I think they can fit most of the major events from UBW within a good 120 minutes or so.

If this is going to be just one movie (and that's up to the big financiers like Geneon, not the production team), it doesn't matter which studio gets the project. No team could possibly pull off a complete, thorough adaptation.

Animation quality might be a different story. However, since this is a movie and not a TV series, I'm expecting a nice budget.

90mins, huh? I hope they repair what they're doing with Umineko and Seitokai with this movie. If they don't, DEEN will turn into an adjective to "bad" for me D:
