Just finished HF 2 and it was fucking awesome. I do think the first 20 minutes or so are a bit rushed, but man does it pay off in the rest of the film.
What's really commendable is just how WEIRD some scenes get, it has all that great stuff that was abundant in old Nasu, but you'd never see in modern TM shit. Sudo just shamelessly embraces it. And I think that's the essence of HF, characters from a more "idealistic" story, placed in a scenario where everything goes wrong, with a tone that harkens back to KnK and Tsukihime.
The best directed scene was probably Archer's death, that somehow exceeded the expectations I'd built over the years. Same for Gil's death. The one scene that was unfortunately sandbagged was Illya shopping, though I did like the original Taiga scene and how Illya is involved in it.
And as skeptical as I am of huge fights, the sheer scale and flashiness of Berserker vs Saber Alter was kind of mindblowing. Look forward to seeing it in high quality. And I'm happy to say they didn't ruin Saber with smugness like the 1st one.
I'm thinking this is a 9/10, lads. My favorite Fate animated thing so far, big improvement over presage flower. Pretty excited for the end of the trilogy.
