The two in-story anime films were created for the live-action film as films being created and produced by two characters in the film: The first film, Soundback: Playing Stone (サウンドバック 奏の石, Saundo Bakku: Sō no Ishi), and the second film, Fate Front: Liddell Light (運命戦線リデルライト, Unmei Sensen Rideruraito). Soundback: Playing Stone was directed by Azuma Tani and character designed by Eisaku Kubonouchi, while Fate Front: Liddell Light was directed by Takashi Otsuka, and character designed by Takahiro Kishida.
