The "Fate/stay Night" franchise has been adapted pretty well, with both the original anime and "Fate/stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works" becoming massive hits due to their intense action sequences and their awesome stories. Recently, fans of the franchise received another great news - the last arc, called "Heaven's Feel," is set to receive a theatrical release.

During the initial announcement for the project in 2014, fans were a bit apprehensive about how the producers would be able to cram all the pertinent events in the arc in a single movie. After all, the Heaven's Feel arc is the longest one among the three (the two being Fate, which focuses on Saber, and Unlimited Blade Works, which centered around Rin).

The news of "Fate/stay Night - Heaven's Feel" being split into three movies, with the first installment set for a 2017 release, was received very warmly by fans. In a lot of ways, a three-part movie is probably the only way that the producers could do the story justice.

"Fate/stay Night" started off as a game that featured numerous routes. Thus, the previous anime adaptations corresponded to the game's first two routes. Heaven's Feel is the third and final route that players can play through in the game, and it features Sakura Matou as the main heroine.

During the course of the Heaven's Feel arc, Sakura becomes a key figure in a series of events that ultimately lead to the destruction and death of numerous servants, culminating with the final moments of the current Holy Grail War. She eventually becomes the Master of Rider, a servant who so far has not received ample characterization in the two previous "Fate/stay Night" series.

In fact, Rider's role in the arc is one of the high points of the arc which has managed to get a lot of fans very excited for the movies' release. Usually considered as a guardian abused by her cruel master, Rider is yet to receive ample screen time in the franchise's anime adaptations.

Characters aside, the main question right now is the conclusion that the upcoming trilogy would pursue. After all, in the original game, two endings were presented to the player, each of which features a scene that rings with finality.

The "Normal" ending, which features a scene that cuts to the future, is extremely melancholic, while the "True" ending features events that ring with less finality. Indeed, regardless of what ending the "Heaven's Feel" trilogy would pursue, it is almost certain that it would be worthy of the franchise's name.

For now, the waiting continues.
