“The opponent I must fight still remains in this town.”
SANTA MONICA, CA (July 4, 2019) – Aniplex of America announced at their industry panel at Anime Expo 2019 in Los Angeles that the latest installment of the Fate series Movies, Fate/stay Night [Heaven’s Feel] THE MOVIE II. lost butterfly, will be released on Blu-ray as both a limited edition and standard edition this fall. Now you can own the movie that Anime News Network hails as “…pure drama, and once you get caught up in its pace, it won’t let you go.” Based on the wildly popular Fate franchise by TYPE-MOON, which gave anime fans Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works], Fate/Zero, and the hit mobile game Fate/Grand Order, the next film in this trilogy follows Shirou Emiya as he continues on his path to protect our heroine, Sakura. The subtitled version of the film premiered at Regal LA Live in downtown Los Angeles with special guests Noriko Shitaya, the voice actress of Sakura Matou, and producer Yuma Takahashi, in front of two sold out auditorium shows in February 2019. Aniplex of America once again partnered with Fathom Events for a nationwide theatrical release of the English sub in both the U.S. and Canada this past spring. Both Blu-ray editions include Japanese and English audio with English and Spanish subtitles. The special Limited Edition Blu-ray also includes the Original Soundtrack II (by Yuki Kajiura), an art book (key visuals, magazine art, and various illustrations), rigid box illustrated by Takashi Takeuchi (TYPE-MOON) and animation material deluxe booklet featuring staff interviews and more! Blu-rays will be available for pre-order today, July 4th at 7:30PM PDT, and will be released on November 19th.
Fate/stay night [Heaven’s Feel] II. lost butterfly is the second film adaptation of the visual novel game Fate/stay night’s third and the final route Heaven’s Feel, otherwise known as the Sakura Route. This film delves more into Sakura’s character as we watch her find her way in the fight for the Holy Grail. The film reunites both the original Japanese and English cast of Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] and Fate/Zero, including Noriaki Sugiyama and Bryce Papenbrook as Shirou Emiya, Ayako Kawasumi and Kari Wahlgren as Saber, Kana Ueda and Mela Lee as Rin Tohsaka, and Noriko Shitaya and Cristina Vee as the tragic heroine Sakura Matou. Composer Yuki Kajiura (Puella Magi Madoka Magica, Sword Art Online) lends her talents for the soundtrack and Director Tomonori Sudo (the Garden of sinners -recalled out summer-) returns to the Fate series to craft the events of the visual novel into the complete cinematic experience. Celebrated animation studio ufotable (Fate/Zero, Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba) returns to animate TYPE-MOON’s work, promising all of the dynamic action of the previous instalments.
