Jajin said: Khalnayak2002 said: If you just wanna watch a single season, then watch Zero and quit but if you wanna get into Fate Franchise then Go with the release order, Alot of people will say start with Zero or UBW and will also tell you to skip the 2006 Studio deen route, but i highly recommend watching the 2006 route first even tho its messed up it works best as a introduction to the Fate world and with the stuff being revealed as it should be. So the order i recommend is :- Fate Stay/Night (Studio Deen) Fate Zero Fate S/N Unlimited blade works Fate S/N Heavens feel You see the problem with this is the fact that fate stay night by studio den is not that great and would ruin people that wants to get into fate I second this. No shade toward Deens adaptation, but it's a subpar adaptation of the visual novel's Avalon route. |

Pls help Fate/zero s1,s2 Fate/stay night 2006 Fate/stay night unlimited blade works prologue Fate/stay night unlimited blade works s1,s2 Fate/stay night heaven's feel 1 Fate/stay night heaven's feel 2 Fate/stay night heaven's feel 3 This will conclude the main fate series but if you want more from the franchise then watch Fate/grand order Fate/grand order grand temple of time - solomon Fate/apocrypha Carnival phantasm. Follow this order don't listen to others trust me it is not complicated once you stare the series. This answer is the least confusing and seems to be a simplified version of other suggestions so I'll go with it. Thanks! |

| Arguably the most BEGINNER friendly order is: -Fate Stay/Night: Unlimited Bladeworks (Ufotable)(This first because of how it eases you into certain concepts commonly used in the Nasuverse) -Fate/Zero (Ufotable)(Correct me if I'm wrong but I'm fairly certain Zero is a prequel) -Fate Stay/Night: Heavens Feel Movie Trilogy (Ufotable)(There's a ton you won't be able to fully appreciate without the context of the Visual Novel, but still a great set of movies) And if you want more afterwards... -Read the Visual Novel (alot of reading so I would understand if that isn't your forte) -Fate Stay/Night (Studio Deen)(An alright adaptation of the route Ufotable didn't adapt) -Fate: Apocrypha (A-1)(An adaptation of an AU- alot of people don't like it but it has interesting lore implications and some of the characters are great) -The Fate Extra games (Extra is the first which is on the psp which you can emulate on pc) or... -Fate Extra: Last Encore (Studio Shaft)(An adaptation of one of the Extra paths if I'm not mistaken- it's hard to make sense of if you haven't played the games) -Fate: Grand Order (Just don't- it's one hell of a rabbit hole) -Fate/Kalied Illya Prisma (Silver Link)(Several parts and a few movies- also an AU) -Other things in the 'nasu-verse' such as 'The Garden of Sinners' series, which has a series of movies by ufotable that are supposedly great. Tsukihime which has an anime that the community denies the existence of, and Notes. which isn't worth explaining for a person new to Fate. Anyway, have at it- best of luck. |

I also recommend this order. Its the most simple. Others will just make you more confused. And no one recommend this but when you finish the series and want to see these characters in funny slice of life series then watch :- "Today's menu for emiya family" And if you want to explore more of other Fate series which take place in different universe just send me a message cuz i am currently watching all the other fate series and spinoffs. |
EmpireX7 said: Ideally, start with Fate/Stay Night Visual Novel but patched so you can read it in English and then the Fate/ZeroLight Novel, I would recommend the Fate/Zero Light Novel over the anime because the anime has some subtle differences to the Light Novel that contradict the Visual Novel as well. Finally decided its time to start Fate, but where do I start? What is the actual watch order for the show? Pls help If you can't be bothered to read, check this for my recommendations on the anime watch order Hollow Ataraxia, a pseudo-sequel to all 3 routes of Fate/Stay Night, can be read/played at any time after all 3 routes in the Visual Novel or their anime adaptations. I'd recommend playing it after Zero, although it was released first, because it isn't spoiled by Zero and it comes last in the timeline, giving it a more satisfying conclusion. Spin-offs can be watched in any order, except for those that are directly stated to be sequels to other spin-offs. |

Sand_bag said: You have to start from fate/zero to get into the main story of fate series. This sentence makes no sense at all. How do you need something to experience the Main Story of something ? If it isn't part of the Main Story , then there is no need to watch it first. |

Sand_bag said: So you are telling me fate/zero is a filler series? More or less. The Fate Series and even all of the Nasuverse use the concept of Multiverses. So everything is Canon , but Zero is not linked to any of the 3 Routes of Fate/Stay Night because of the inconsistencies made in Zero. (Saber , the fire , Kirei , etc...) So from the point of view of the Nasuverse , it is Canon , but from the point of view of Fate/Stay Night , it is not. |

epicpunnyname said: My understanding was that it was all canon except Kirei and Saber - hence how the events of Zero get referenced in Hollow Ataraxia and the Case Files of El Melloi II The "Everything is Canon except that " is just an excuse of Nasu to avoid facing the inconsistencies of writing of Urobuchi. Hollow Ataraxia came out before Zero , it even teased it with the Cinema scene. As for El-Melloi II , i didn't read it personally , but i've heard that it's not Canon to any Routes , it's just yet another alternative timeline , as for Zero. |

Varisus said: You don't start the Star Wars prequel trilogy before the Empire Strikes Back to "get the backstory" behind Darth Vader's reveal, do you? Not the best example. It's exactly because Lucas knew that some couldn't understand what a Prequel is that he renumbered them. Better go with the Shingeki no Kyojin or Naruto example , peoples understand more , especially since it's Animes. |

| Don't start with the 2006 Deen anime cause that spoils a lot of stuff. Don't start with fate Zero because that also spoils a lot of stuff. For a stress-free experience, just play the visual novel. |

| I no longer have the strength to get into an argument as no matter what I say there is counter for it. watch in which ever oder you want. Enjoying is what matters the most. |

Pls help just read the visual novel, its not long dont listen to people making up the dumbest orders because they dont want to read the reason people dont want others to start with zero is because it creates toxic zero stans that shit on stay night because its not as edgy. but this wont really happen to everyone |
