Fate Stay Night Heaven's Feel Ii Lost Butterfly

Okay, let's be real. We all love a good anime, right? Swords clashing, dramatic stares, maybe a little bit of romance. And Fate/Stay Night? Total classic.

But here's where things get spicy. We're talking about Heaven's Feel II: Lost Butterfly specifically. And I might have… an opinion. A possibly unpopular opinion.

Butterflies and… Sleep?

Look, I appreciate the visuals. Ufotable's animation is gorgeous. The fight scenes? *Chef's kiss*. But sometimes, watching Lost Butterfly felt like… a nap.

Don't get me wrong! I wasn't actually falling asleep. But there's a certain… *pacing*… that made me want to grab a blanket and get cozy. Maybe that's just me?

Maybe all the dramatic tension and dark magic was a little too much. Like eating a whole box of chocolates. Delicious, but you're gonna feel it later.

Sakura's… Choices?

Now, let's talk about Sakura. Sweet, adorable Sakura. Who becomes… well, something else in Heaven's Feel. And it's not always pretty.

Her character arc is supposed to be tragic and complex. But sometimes, I just wanted to shake her and say, "Honey, maybe therapy? A really good therapist?"

I know, I know, she's under a lot of pressure. Dealing with curses and creepy crawlies. But some of the decisions… *questionable*.

Perhaps a little bit of self-preservation, Sakura? Please? It's for your own good!

Rin's Radness

Let's give some love to Rin Tohsaka. Seriously, Rin rocks. She's smart, powerful, and has a wardrobe that I envy. Even during the apocalypse.

She's the kind of friend you want in a zombie outbreak. Or, you know, a Holy Grail War. Either way, Rin's got your back (and probably a few gems hidden up her sleeve).

Honestly, sometimes I felt like Rin deserved her own movie. Just Rin being awesome and outsmarting everyone. Maybe fighting a dragon or two. I'd watch it.

Shirou's… Shirou-ness

Ah, Shirou. Our hero. The guy who wants to save everyone. Even if it means sacrificing himself. You gotta admire the dedication. But… is it always smart?

Sometimes, Shirou's selflessness felt a little… much. Like, dude, take a break. Have a sandwich. Maybe think things through for five minutes. Before jumping into danger, again.

I understand he has a strong moral compass. I really do. But a little self-preservation wouldn't hurt. Just saying.

The Dark Side of Fate

Heaven's Feel is definitely the darkest route. Like, pitch black. So much darkness, you need a flashlight to find the fridge in there. But it makes you think, right?

It makes you question what's right and wrong. And how far you'd go for someone you love. Or, in Shirou's case, for everyone. Even total strangers. Who are probably gonna yell at him later.

So, yeah, Lost Butterfly might have felt a little slow at times. And some of the character choices might have been… debatable. But hey, at least it made me think! And that's gotta count for something, right?

Plus, that animation is gorgeous. Seriously, Ufotable, take all my money. Just keep making things look pretty. Even when they're also super depressing.
