S.W.’s Verdict
Ufotable's animation budget seems to operate outside normal physics. The fight choreography sets a standard that live-action blockbusters with ten times the resources can't match. Flashbacks slow the pacing, and newcomers will be completely lost, but for anyone invested in the series, this is payoff executed at full intensity. The emotional beats land because they were earned across seasons, not manufactured for the film.
