| I think Fate/Zero then Fate/Stay Night then Unlimited Blade Works movie and you can watch Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma whenever because it's a completely different story. Fate/Zero takes place years before Fate/Stay Night |
 |
| Go with brodcast order. |
 Kickstarter for Rokujouma is fully funded. Good work everyone. Lets wait for the result of our hard work together. |
| basically it depends on how you want to watch it. Like I said Fate/Zero is 5 years before Fate/Stay Night. If you watch Fate/Zero first you'll understand Stay Night better. Kalied is an entirely different show with some of the same characters. |

| I say you should watch it in broadcast order, so go with F/sn first. That way you won't get disappointed by the considerable difference in animation quality. |
| Not sure if you've made your mind already, but I'd go with broadcast order. While Fate/Zero is a prequel to Fate/stay night, it works better as a prequel to the new remake of Fate/stay night that is coming out eventually. |
| NOOOO Wait for the Fate/Stay Night remake first (Heaven's Feel). When that's out watch F/Z then Heaven's Feel. Don't worry about F/SN '06. :DD Have fun waiting 3~ years I haven't watched Fate/Kalied Ilya yet, but I'd imagine you can just watch that whenever since its just a joke spinoff. But if you must, watch F/SN '06 then Unlimited Blade Works. I wouldn't recommend watching UBW before F/SN, since the first 30-60mins is on fast forward as it assumes you've seen those scenes in the anime. |
| I think you should begin by Fate/Stay Night, then Fate/Zero, then (once Fate/Stay Night is settle down) UBW. Kalied Ilya keep only the same characters but the story is radically different, so I recommend to watch at least after Fate/Stay Night. Fate/Zero is a prequel, so I don't understand why watch it before Fate/Stay Night. |

agaffe said: Ambient_ said: Rignak said: Fate/Zero is a prequel, so I don't understand why watch it before Fate/Stay Night. *facepalm* In this case, it's perfectly possible (and encouraged) to watch F/Z without watching F/SN, but something being a prequel doesn't automatically make it, as a stand-alone work, understandable. Understandable to watch prior to the sequels? Why not? |

See, I would usually agree, but I'm getting the feeling that you haven't seen Fate/Zero before. The majority of Fate/ fans would say that it's superior to Fate/SN, and it's not adapted from a VN like other Type Moon works, it's adapted from an Original LN made by Gen Urobuchi (Madoka Magica). It's more of a Stand Alone work than Fate/Stay Night in my mind, and just because something is a "prequel" doesn't mean that it's not able to stand on its own. |

Those who aren't able to find a more miserable person, turn to the internet and call other people losers, even though they've never met. Just to make themselves feel superior. isn't that pathetic?

I partially concede to your argument, but that's only if the prequel was dependent on the original. If the prequel's setting was fully realized without prerequisites of knowing the original, then I'd rather watch the prequel first as it provides a more linear experience.

True, but if you want to watch Fate/Stay Night after, you spoil yourself. For example : And the superiority of Fate/Zero doesn't matter. So I can understand it depends of the way you see Fate/Zero : a Stand Alone itself or a "true prequel" (for lack of other word). For me Fate/Zero should be seen after Fate/Stay Night, but it's maybe because I watched Fate/Stay Night before, myself. |

I personally think that it boils down to whichever one you think is superior to the other. If you think Fate/Stay Night is the all-around better work (I don't think it's even close) than you wouldn't want to have people be spoiled by Fate/Zero. While someone like me (A Fate/Zero Fan) would think the opposite was true. SImple as that. |

| Thread moved. This has been asked many times before so if you search for the existing threads you will find more information. I'm leaving this open because it includes not only F/SN and F/Z but also other related series. |

| Fate/Zero spoils more than FSN does. FZ spoils: FSN spoils: Also from the synopsis of FZ LN: FZ Volume 2 afterword It clearly expects that you have read FSN before,not for the plot to make sense but because that is how it is supposed to be read for enjoyment's sake. Especially the anime that cut some important stuff like Zouken and Kirei talking about the previous war foreshadowing something that happens later,and even without such cuts there were a lot of viewers that were questioning abilities,rules,personalities and events because of the lack of FSN knowledge. Something like this definitely isnt a stand alone. @OP As far as the anime series are concerned I rec to watch only FZ. If you want to really know the story,understand and enjoy everything then give the visual novel of FSN a try and THEN watch FZ. |

agaffe said: Forgetfulness said: Though if the OP does read the VN, they should be warned of the sexual content. Yes the same way 300 is a porno movie. If the OP decides to read the VN then I will give him any and all details he wants.I dont like treating others like they 8 year olds that dont know about sex and violence.And seeing as how 2 top ecchi shows are his favs and his list does have hentai anime,I dont think that he would have any problem with 4-6 scenes that last like 4 minutes with fast clicking. |
ssjokgSep 14, 2013 8:28 AM
| I dont consider Ro-Kyu-Bu a top ecchi show.Especially when compared to SnO and TLR. Anyway.Since you already decided,the only thing I can say now is that if you like FZ and find the FSN anime at least interesting give the VN a try some time later,since one of the stories isnt animated yet and we dont know if the new FSN anime will be that one or a remake. |
| thx |
| They're both different paths/interpretations of the story, with Unlimited Blade Works (TV) being the most recent entry. Fate/Zero serves as a prequel to the events of Fate/Stay Night. |
 |
| And here we go again. The Veteran (visual novel readers) advice: UBW anime > HF movie > F/Z > watch another spin off that you want (Fate/Kaleid, Carnival Phantasm) Secondaries advice: Fate Zero > UBW anime > HF movie To be honest, I recommend you to watch FSN first, because the first episode of Zero ruined some plot twist who are later relevant to HF and Fate. |

| if you want to watch it from chronology order start from Fate/Zero then Fate/Stay. |
Kensai-Serazu said: if you want to watch it from chronology order start from Fate/Zero then Fate/Stay. Except that chronological order spoils everything so no. There's no Chronological order. |
 |
| Sorry, none of these answers make sense. What order should one watch the fate series in? I realize chronological has spoilers, so what is the order that the makers intended you to watch it in, or at least, what do you consider would be the order for the most satisfying watching experience? |
