FaarleSorkha said: Long story short: I've watched F/Zero S1 about a year ago. Didn't really like it so never bothered watching S2. Can I watch this one? Am I going to lost in dialogues because they will talk about Zero S2 and I won't be able to understand? Or do they act like theres never been a F/Zero anime? This is the second Route from the story. You should actually start from the first Stay Night. |

| Definitely not since my recommended order Deen fate stay night UBW Zero Heavens feel |
 |
| No, it's probably the worst starting point. |

| I made a Fate animes list a while ago. Hope it helps! https://docs.google.com/document/d/1poqLPBOcjdczO36MoInjmYNOVH7WOzI7XinTOQ8_EQA/edit |

| fsn 2006, ubw, hf, and then zero people like to make complicated orders for no reason just follow the order the story was made in never start with zero btw |
| But whats the point stopping 2/3rds into a story to watch a prequal and jump back? |
| you can but i wouldn’t |
FaarleSorkha said: Can I watch this one? Am I going to lost in dialogues because they will talk about Zero S2 and I won't be able to understand? Or do they act like theres never been a F/Zero anime? Fate/Zero is a Spin-Off Prequel made with the glimpse of flashbacks thrown everywhere in Fate/Stay Night. So yes , they will speak about what happened in Zero , but you are not supposed to know exactly what they are talking about. (Most people forget that Fate is originally a slow burn mystery , not an action series...) As for the starting point , you can start with UBW , but you'll miss 1/3 of the story by skipping the 2006 Anime. You already spoiled yourself of most mysteries by watching even just the 1st Episode of Zero tho. If you want a complete list of the franchise : INcasted said: I think it's important to watch it in this order starting with the 2006 F/SN then F/0 then F/SN UBW then the heavens feel movies . It'll also feel like a storyline A storyline... ? |

Ioesisto said: Fate community is a mess, how tf do we all have different answers, and how tf would a someone think that zero is the better starting point when it spoils major stay night plot points I mean... - Zero fags spamming their fan-fiction as the best thing in the franchise. - Haters/skippers of the 2006 Anime because it isn't done by Ufotable. - Purists telling you to not touch the adaptations. - Trolls and Fate/Kaleid. ... a lot of options , no ? |

| no you do not need to watch fate 0. Yes 0 is a prequel but it was also written after fate stay night so it expects you to already know the story of stay night. While it would be best to start with saber's route that never got a proper adaptation so starting with the UBW route is the next best thing. |
| Both UBW and 0 both have spoilers for each other in them, especially seen as 0 is a prequel, so technically you can start on either if you didn’t like 0. Personally would still recommend Fate/0, but you can start at either point without it taking much away from your understanding |

INcasted said: it's almost like it follows a pattern in a way Well , of course. There is a clear pattern in the 3 Routes , in which Shirô doubt more and more about his ideals , more secrets are revealed , and those are more and more creepy. It's done on purpose to have a crescendo tension in the Visual Novel. No idea why you throw Zero between the 2006 Anime and UBW tho , it doesn't fit at all in this tension. |

INcasted said: But isn't fate zero almost a prelude to UBW AND u can't watch F/SN without watch the OG 2006 version Fate/Zero is a Prequel to the 3 Fate/Stay Night Routes. It happens before in the chronology , but was released after everything else , and was intented to be watched after everything else. It isn't only a prelude to UBW , but to the 3 Routes , and watching it before the 3 Routes spoils a lot of elements from those , especially for Heaven's Feel. (The climax of the series) What's more , Zero is in reality a fan-fiction made by another Author fan of the original Visual Novel , and he created many incoherences in his work due to him forgetting some stuff. It even have a different tone than the 2 first Routes , so inserting it here makes really no sense. |
