Interesting facts

Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya: Vow in the Snow is a Japanese animated fantasy action film and a prequel to the manga Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya by Hiroshi Hiroyama, released on August 26, 2017. The film stars voice actors Noriaki Sugiyama, Kaori Nazuka, Rikiya Koyama, Natsuki Hanae and Noriko Shitaya. The plot follows a teenager named Shirou Emiya who becomes involved in the mage conflict known as the Fifth Holy Grail War to protect his foster sister, Miyu Satsuki, from being used as a sacrifice by the Ainsworth clan.

Production

Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya is a spin-off manga to the visual novel Fate/stay Night written by Kinoko Nasu centered around Shirou Emiya and three parallel storylines regarding his participance in the Holy Grail War. Although the manga focuses on the title character Illya, Hiroyama wrote a series of flashbacks in Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 3rei! centered around Shirou and Miyu.

Hiroyama worked with the anime staff and stated that while different areas from the original story were changed, the film was faithful to the original version. Nevertheless, he refrained from revealing more about the movie to the fans. Director Shin Oonuma worked on the movie with the idea of focusing on character actions while also giving full attention to its fight scenes in order to make them highly appealing to the viewers.

Sugiyama said that the idea of Shirou's story being explored in a film rather than a television series sounded interesting. He added "Shirou is a philanthropist in any world. He is a young boy who is wishing for the happiness of those around him, such as for Miyu and Illya." Kaori Nazuka, who plays Miyu Satsuki, said her character has a noticeable character arc in these spin-offs thanks to her growing relationship with Shirou.

The film uses the theme songs "kaleidoscope" and "Usubeni no Tsuki" (薄紅の月; lit. 'The Thin Crimson Moon') by ChouCho. ChouCho made two songs that focused on the relationship between Shirou and Miyu, who are the center of the plot, describing it as heartwarming due to the close bond the siblings have.

The film was first announced on September 21, 2016, when the finale of the anime's fourth season, Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 3rei aired; this was confirmed by the episode's end title card. On February 10, 2017, the anime's Twitter account confirmed its title as Gekijōban Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya: Sekka no Chikai (劇場版Fate/kaleid liner プリズマ☆イリヤ 雪下の誓い, lit. Movie Version Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya: Oath Under the Snow).
