This movie was positively bizarre. A weird shadowy monster takes out all the heroic spirits that were supposed to be in a battle royale with each other, and it just so happens to be possessing Sakura, Shirou's love interest. Sakura's mind isn't entirely stable as she goes around murdering and eating everyone, but nevertheless Shirou considers her too charming a woman to oppose.
The only thing I'll praise about this movie was Shirou's willingness to have sex with Sakura. Too many anime male leads are weird herbivores who think all girls have cooties and avoid them to their last dying breath. This time, once they've exchanged terms of endearment for each other, they proceed to the logical and obvious next step without hesitation. Finally.
As for how things will work out for pitiable Sakura (and the pitiable world afflicted by Sakura), we'll have to wait until 2021 to find out. The movie comes out in spring 2020 of Japan, and there tends to be an 8 month gap between the theatrical release and the blu-ray release, which is the first chance we have to see anything.
I suspect that movie will be much better, because it won't be so full of despair. Nothing went right in this movie, and nobody could do anything about it. Gilgamesh, bless his heart, tried, but found the situation impossible and well over his head. In the third movie things have to work out because it's the ending, and you can't end without first resolving all problems.
Sadly Youjo Senki isn't coming out for another couple days so the long wait for new entertainment continues. College Football is equally three days away so it can't save us either. The future needs to hurry up. Fate/Stay Night's visual novel came out in 2004. Why does it take 17 years for an anime to adapt the visual novel in full? Life is so ridiculous. That's enough time for a child to be born, grow up, and conquer the known world. And yet now all we can do is adapt one lousy visual novel. It's like the whole world is treading through molasses.
