I had heard so many good things about this movie from the Type-Moon community. Some people even rank it among their top three or top five Type-Moon works ever, and after finally watching it, my reaction was basically: you just really like Fate/stay night, but you also want to feel a little special and pick me about it. My first major complaint is that despite Prisma Illya supposedly being a series centered on Illya, one of the most praised entries in the entire franchise is somehow a movie about Emiya Shirou all over again.
It almost feels like the producers themselves do not have enough confidence in Prisma Illya to let it stand completely on its own, so eventually they have to fall back on the Stay Night brand again. Fate has retold or reworked the same basic setup so many times that it…

Days and days of badass Shirou fanservice.
Seems pretty ambitious to build a new Shirou from scratch in one movie, but they totally knocked it out of the park here with a variation on the character that feels right at home with the other versions of him. His ideals (or lack thereof) shine blindingly bright in the desolate world of this movie.
The only flaw in the experience for me was that I was a little put off by how different Kiritsugu seemed compared to how he should be after saving Shirou. Though perhaps it was a necessary sacrifice in order to have Shirou learn to love his imouto on his own.
The big highlight other than Shirou was Shinji showing up for 5 minutes and still managing to be the most spectacularly fucked up irredeemable rat bastard in this universe. His classic line fr…

Well, the story is the usual solid entry in the Fate Series. I can't however give a perfect score . Especially when i was robbed of a ufotable unlimited budget works masterpiece. Wish they'd keep all the entires in the series to themselves. But i guess they have their own circumstances. But those circumstances did lead to this tragedy . I recommend it as a story, the animation ain't bad but it's clearly not ufotable. It will never be .
That being said, normally it's a illiya route, but the illya route is actually the Miyu route. Honestly im not certain myself . But that's what it shaped out to be for the most part.

This review is coming from the perspective of someone who is a Fate fan, who found this movie purely based on the franchise and relatively high rating. If that sounds like you, do not waste your time.
The reason that (at the time of writing) this is the sole negative review is presumably the only people that know this exists and seek to watch it know exactly what it is: a collection of nonsensical retcons with the sole purpose of setting up the lolicon anime Prisma Illya.
Impressively within the first few minutes, this movie manages to completely assassinate both Kiritsugu's and Shirou's character. I honestly can't remember much else. There is essentially nothing going on here except setup to the fanservice anime - and even that is basically unrelated until the last ~1 minute or so. (And…

I think 80 minutes probably wasn't enough time to tell this Shirou's story, but it was a good representation of Shirou if things played out much differently than any of the Stay Night routes. I gave it a 7 because while it felt like some sequences were far too short and others were far too long, this was ultimately a Prisma Illya OVA that ties into that world. The art was good, sound direction was good, character relationships felt like they progressed far too quickly. In fact, I am not entirely pleased with the way that we get to the end of this movie. If you don't mind spoilers, you can continue for my rationale.
PAST THIS POINT THERE ARE SPOILERS (Also Fate/Zero Spoilers)
Sakura played a very prominent role in this movie. She seems to be close with Shirou, but this isn't really the ca…

Story: Impressive and even better if one has watched ubw fate stay night as one is able to resonate with the feelings of Shirou even more.
Art: If you are expecting the art to be as good as ubw, unfortunately that's not the case but it is still decent.
Sound: Ending song was nice but other than that not much varation in sound effects.
Character: For a 90min movie, I'm glad that they chose to focus character development for a few as opposed to many. A must to watch ubw before this to enjoy this spin off even more.
Enjoyment: Enjoyed the dialogue though it was nothing out of the ordinary but it was consistent and the story managed to leave a impact on my heart.
TLDR: Watch this after ubw and I would give this an 8/10 min 7/10 for how they maanged to fit a whole fate route into 90 minu…

The Prisma Illya series is the biggest mistake in the Fate franchise. It's insulting, it's boring, it utterly destroys Illya's character (and, in fact, most characters it presents).
That said, this movie, which serves as a prequel to the series, is different in every way.
Before I go into the review, I'll answer to the question "should I watch it?".
You DO NOT NEED to watch the Prisma Illya series to understand that movie. I've only watched a couple of episodes and a few scenes, and I still managed to understand everything. It's not a very complicated movie, and it stands strong on its own.
You DO NEED to know the Fate universe. At least watch one series of Fate/Stay Night and Fate/Zero. You only need to understand the basics of this world to get this movie.
Now, back to the review.

This is an origin story of Miyu, one of the main characters of Fate/Kaleid. Story-wise is a great movie, although the actions scenes are also fun to watch.
My main issue with this, however, is the horrible pacing. This movie is only 90 minutes long and yet it felt like I was watching it for 3 hours. It takes too long to introduce the real plot, the plot itself is rushed and at the end it keeps dragging itself, not knowing when to stop.
I still recommend this movie to anyone who likes Fate and has watched or plans to watch the Fate/Kaleid alternative universe. It's a 7/10 from me.

Reviewer's note: This movie is a prequel to the F/K Ilya series and it is my 3rd entry into the Fate/Kaled spin-off works (Ilya>Specials).
✪ Genre: action (swordplay), contemporary fantasy, drama, magic (metamorphosis, magic weapons), seinen, superpower (emotions awaken superpowers) with elements of a parallel world
✔Positive Aspects✔
◧ Animation: adequately distinct characters, based on colors of moderate to low saturation/medium to high lumination, with the urban environment and the urban landscapes being a little more muted in comparison. A good addition was the limited 'light' and 'spark' effects during the action sequences, where the main character is fighting against the various antagonists. ◧ Character development: the movie does a decent job building up the relationship betwe…

Miyu before Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya...
Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya Movie: Sekka no Chikai gives us a glimpse as well as a proper detail towards the actual alternate world Miyu was born in through the lens of the alternate Emiya from 3rei!.
Now having alternate Emiya as our main narrative focus maybe an odd choice since this is suppose to be you know, Miyu's backstory and how she got into Illya's world and the such, but nonetheless alternate Emiya himself ALSO has a story of his that fills in the details and is obviously linked to Miyu and everything that happened in 3rei! as well for things to to go "full circle" as it were.
With the main narrative clutch of Emiya and by extension Kiritsugu wanting peace any way possible even for the life of one in order to do it and using Miy…

When I read "Prisma Illya" I immediately cringe and back away. Compared to the other fate titles, the Illya series has a very different demographic. This would be true... except this movie seems to bend the rules a bit. In fact, all I know about the Prisma Illya franchise is that its about a magical girl, but this movie has surpassed my expectations. If you are even slightly interested, then let me fully hook you in into a Fate title that has more to do with "stay/night" and "zero" than "last encore" and "apocrypha".
Story:
For a fate spinoff, it is surprising to see Shiro Emiya appear as the main character. The story follows him in his struggle to take back his sister who is also the ultimate wish granting advice. His means for rescuing her is by participating in the grail war. So who…

Great spinoff about shirou past and events that happened before first season of fate kaleid prisma. Animation and plot is on high level with typical for fate soundtrack. But whats more important this movie dont have one detail that push off most of people from fate kaleid series ... and im talking about FAN SERVICE! NO MORE LOLI HERE WOHO! Thats why it can be recomended for not only kaleid prisma series fans , but to fate stay night series fans aswell. Personally i loved how mc overcome difficulties ... on his road to sacrifice him self for person he cared most.
My rare is 9/10 but remember its my personal opinion and we can have different taste.

I felt disappointed in this film, and I fear that Prisma Illya may become tainted by Shirou. I feel this because Shirou is too serious.
I also should mention this is NOT a filler movie, it provides backstory from the original 3rei manga for Miyu and Shirou.
Story 5
Focusing on Pre-Illya Miyu and 'alternate' Shirou, this film aims to provide a decent backstory towards the two. The first half of the film focuses mainly on how Shirou meets Miyu, and the building of their relationship, despite any original intentions Shirou may of had.
The second half focuses on the 'you-know-what' events in the 3rei anime, showing how Shirou becomes powerful, during the 'Miyu' grail war and how Miyu manages to meet Illya, Luvia and Sapphire afterwards.
The plot of this film is much more serious than…

Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya Movie: Outh Under Snow (Also known "Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya Movie: Sekka no Chikai") after i watch this movie, this story is the beginning of the Fate/Kaleid Prisma☆Illya series. I'm confused that Fate/Kaleid Prisma☆Illya slightly unrelated to Fate/Stay Night series so i'm called this series as the side story of the Fate/Stay Night Series.
Story:
I'm glad that this movie has not fan-service like the series, this movie full of serious scene and i'm so like it because this movie tell about Emiya Shirou to saves Miyu Edfeld from Julian Ainsworth. This movie story is story is a story 5 years before Fate/Stay Night.
Plot:

First and foremost, this movie is technically a prequel to the whole Fate/kaleid liner storyline. Watching this before starting the other "kaleid liner" series won't create much problem, except for the fact that you won't recognize a lot of the characters and what were their motivations behind their actions. So it is suggested you complete the previous kaleid liner series before starting this film.
Story:
The story of Oath Under Snow is vastly different from other F/kl parts in both tone and style. This is an origin story of Miyu, and the story is shown from the perspective of Emiya Shirou from her world. It is a darker story in tone compared to the other F/kl entries, and it looks and feels a lot similar to the style of Fate/Zero and Fate/stay night.
Art:
The biggest problem with this m…

for people who haven't watched/understand the concept of fate series, they will not understand the concept so it might be difficult to enjoy it fully. but for fate fanboys, this will be one of the better stories of fate.
I haven't watched heaven's feel yet, nor I played the original fate VN series, so it might be biased. what I did for fate series is just watched all the anime and read some manga. for me, this is the most anticipated thing in fate/kaleid series. the most badass Shirou I've ever seen. how the author develops Shirou from the twisted persona about a fake hero of justice to someone who truly wishes to save his sister. shirou seems to be the strongest in h…

Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya: Oath Under Snow is an excellent watch and a must-watch for Fate fans (especially those that are following the actual Prisma Illya manga/anime). Before I continue, I will disclose the fact that I have been following the series (both manga & anime) and read the manga story-line the movie adapts so have this in mind when reading my review.
Story: 10
Having read the original story prior to watching (and loved it), I had high hopes for the story's adaptation into movie format. For the most part, the movie had adapted nearly every aspect of the story save for the actual framing device of the story in the original source material and a few minor parts but those were not issues for me. As for the actual story, Oath Under Snow is the prequel to the events of the Pri…

Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya: Oath Made Under the Snow was a great watch and obligatory for any fan of the Fate/Prisma series.
The content of the film itself is quite specific however which makes it quite difficult to recommend to anyone who hasn't seen all 4 seasons of the Prisma anime. With that said, If you are a fan of the Fate/Stay Night/Zero series you may very well find this film quite enjoyable even without prior knowledge of the Prisma series. While the content of the film is a flashback arc of the third main series of Prisma, it effectively acts as a sort of spinoff Shirou storyline, taking place in an alternate dimension which pulls from the Fate/Stay Night series, especially Heavens Feel. This may sound very complicated, but again, this is a very specific story and is defini…
