As explained in the movie and in the novel, the Counter Force is basically a phenomenon that occurs whenever the safety of the world or of the human population is threatened, and does whatever it can to prevent such events from happening. Araya trying to reach the Origin was a serious enough threat for the Counter Force to act upon it and prevent him from doing so. |

Movie 5
Brilliant! It had a couple of little flaws here and there, like the animation wasn't as good as the previous four films (that's a harsh standard to judge it by) and the use of repetition was a little annoying, even if it did play to one of the film's main themes, but this was the best anime film I've seen for ages. It doesn't deserve a 10/10, in my eyes, something I've only ever given to two anime titles I've seen, but it was very close. That was a powerful experience, almost overwhelming. To put it simply, there was just an incredible amount of stuff in it, characters, thematics, meta-physics, philosophy. Add to that the visceral appeals, such as the amazing action sequences and the ongoing tension and suspense of the whole thing set up by the thick, dark atmosphere, and it turned out to be a very thrilling and exhausting film to watch. My brain is mush now, so I might try to write something more intelligent about this film later. If I can ever completely wrap my brain around it, that is...

The 5th movie was superb, a brilliant culmination of the previous movies.
The drop in animation quality compared to movies 1-4 was quite apparent but given the length of this one it's easily forgivable, it merely dropped from awe-inducing to excellent. I found it quite amusing that Tomoe looks exactly like Emiya Shirou or perhaps more acurately Shirou looks exactly like Tomoe? Was Tomoe's chara design done back when the novels were published? I'm glad they didn't hire the same seiyuu though, I found his voice a bit annoying in Fate/stay night (Seeeiiiiiibaa! ) If I didn't know better I would've thought Araya was the last boss but with another 2 movies on the way I wonder how they are going to build up to the real finale. Needless to say Iam greatly looking forward to it and the prospect of marathoning all 7 movies in chronological order once they're out. |

I too am glad they didn't get Shirou's seiyuu, I've heard his voice work in Bleach, Naruto and Ookiku Furikabutte and I didn't like any of his characters.
My guess is that movie 6 will be a lighter story (YAY AKIHA/AZAKA), then movie 7 will return focus on Shiki's condition/identity since the title is "A Study of Murder Part 2" if I'm not mistaken. (By the way, in the Fate Stay Night Visual Collection, there is a character profile of a senior school girl named Mitsuduri Ayako, and she looks identical to Ryougi Shiki except she is a brunette. I don't ever remember seeing her in the Fate animation, so it's very puzzling, any Fate gamers that can confirm her appearance?) |

Ayako is a friend of Tohsaka Rin and Emiya Shirou. She doesn't have much screen time in the anime though. For those who want to understand more about the philosophy stuffs in the fifth movie, try this blog page: http://memories-of-eternity.com/anal...-no-kyoukai-5/ It's pretty good in my opinion, especially if you don't have much understanding in Eastern philosophy.

That also is one of a few disappointing things in this movie for me. They totally cut off Alba vs Touko scene and made him into a maniac clown. In the novel he Spoiler:
=( It would make nice demonstrate of the cat's power, but I guess it's not very important to the plot so they left it out. |

He was still beaten anticlimatically in the novel, but even so, he PUT a fight, while the movie implied that, the only things he could do are: doing the happy brain surgeon, humming like a madman, crushing heads and get overwhelmed like a grunt.
As far as I can remember, he was even praised as being superior to Touko by other magi, back in the Association, but it was his own arrogance and inferiority complex that brought out his obsession and insanity. That would be like Gil without being able to show off his gates of babylon: truely disheartening.
