Most movies like this are targeted at existing fans, who would scream bloody murder if you leave out stuff. Better to not mutilate the source material imo, we’ve already got too many ‘superfan’ directors who can’t follow a script to save their lives.
Though i agree it shouldve been trimmed, i know ufotable got some backlash from trimming stuff with the fate universe so i cant blame them lol
Its a hard thing to balance in which you cant satisfy everyone hehe
So everyone keeps saying “targeted existing fans”… I consider myself one and it still should have been trimmed. Translation from print to motion can’t always be done 1:1. Movies and video require different pacing to be successful.
