I'm not totally against VN's but i've heard something about 12 Hours alone for that first Part. 12 Hours of reading Stuff? Oof..

And reading/playing that wouldn't change my Situation right? The Anime Order would still be the same afterwards right? That i have to wait for the Movies etc.

No, once you've read the VN you're free to do what ever you want as far as Zero goes. The VN is seriously addicting if you can get into it.

Once you read VN, you can do whatever you want as you have all the information you need ;)
Nothing beats the source material.

Well, 12 hours is about 3 12-episode animes. And it's not strictly reading, you also have nice visuals, voice acting and great background music :P

You could also read the first route of the VN called "Fate" because Deen's "adaptation" of this route is bad. After that you could watch the UBW anime by ufotable and then continue by reading the third route of the VN called "Heaven's Feel". This would at least bring in some variety and you would still follow the intended order.

I completely agree that once you start reading the VN you will probably enjoy it much more than expected.

I just finished the F/Z series and have been led to this thread in search of the opinion of the majority on the watch order of the Fate/ series.
Most people prefer F/Z to be seen last because it spoils everything like hell. I don't mind the spoilers, and I've already watched Zero, so I guess I should skip the F/SN 2006 version, the UBW movie and go forth with the UBW (TV) version of which the first season is out. Then I should wait for its second season. Then I should wait for the HF movies.

Right. I think I've got this right. I'm sorry this post seems to have no particular direction or target; I only wished to assemble my thoughts here (since the watch order of the Fate/series seems to be the most controversial topic on this earth) and be exposed to any needed rectification.

Well i'll start with the UBW Prologue and the first Season so i can watch the 2nd Season when it comes out. After that i will wait for the Rest to come out before i watch Zero.

This is right. I just want to add one thing. Don't expect Fate/stay night to be Fate/Zero 2 or you will be very disappointed.

Your choice ;)
Final tip: I recommend you to try tp pay attention to the show and pick up as many details as you can.

With that being said... have fun!

No. Not high. In wrong direction. Zero is ensemble cast, while FSN deals with detailed internal development of one person.

Like HungryPriest said, I didn't say that Fate/stay night is worse than Fate/Zero. Actually many fans consider F/SN to be (much) better. It depends on your own preferences.
F/Z and F/SN just focus on completely different things.

Before UBW TV prologue aired, one person jokingly suggested out of the blue that everyone changes his username to Priest and act like Kotomine. Idea was funny to big part of the fanbase and therefore Kotomine Church was born XD
However, today, only a small amount of priests remain.

This with moustaches started similarily.

Fate Zero is a greek tragedy ensemble cast story meant to connect the dots of what you already know in FSN. It is story focused andnot character focused and follows multiple viewpoints.

FSN is story of Emiya Shirou. IT is told through his eyes and it is story about him, his worldview, his psychology, his past and what he experiences and finds out now. It is primarily character focused and limited to mainly one point of view. Also the Grail War is NOT the focus and it is NOT about the death game(that is just a part of the setting in regards of challenging the main character).

Also just fair warning - FSN expects you to not know ANYTHING from Zero, so don't be surprised when something is treated as a mystery or when the show dramatically and shockingly reveals something you already know.

Actually, for their Kara no Kyoukai movies, Ufotable released like 4 movies within a year, in two months or so of each other.

Why? The only thing it did half decent was Saber's resolution. Spoils other plot points for no reason. It's only worth watching if you want to see Saber's stuff animated after the VN has been read.

I realize this. I loved the anime when I first saw it, but saw it's glaring flaws after I read the VN. But I still hold the original Fate anime in high regard. Call it a mixture of nostalgia and fanboyism if you will. I was hyped when I heard that Fate would get a new adaptation by ufotable, but imagine how crushed I was when I heard it would be UBW. I have not even touched UBW since it started airing.

As a continuation to Fate/Zero (I have been told by people that this anime adaption is particularly designed in a way that you are supposed to have seen F/Z first, despite F/Z being the prequel), UBW just doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me. All the arcs involving Saber that were depicted in Fate/Zero are not really resolved in UBW. It just doesn't do it for me. Has it more action than Fate? Yes. Has it a more engaging storyline than Fate? I guess. Do I want to see it? No.

I have no problem with admitting that I am very much butthurt about UBW getting the hyper-ufotable-treatment and I have no intention of yelling "stop liking what I don't like!" at people who take enjoyment out of UBW. But personally, I am deeply disappointed even now. As a Fate fan, I'm still sort of clinging to the hope that, perhaps after the Heaven's Feel movie, they may also give the Fate route another shot in order to complete the set.

That and I'm also somewhat baffled Saber is TYPE-MOON's No. 1 cash cow, yet her route is not getting (re-)animated, but the production of new Saber figures by far overshadows that of Rin figures. TYPE-MOON loves their money.

Let's just say they are ones that doesn't ruin Stay Night but may make you go "why are they making such a big deal out of this, I already know this from Zero" and it does turn HF's biggest plot twist into something you now take for granted.

Well, I cannot comment since I have so far refused to watch UBW TV, it's just something I heard.

As for "the Fate route is supposed to be given for free to Japanese viwers who want it", what exactly do you mean by that? Because the Fate route is for free on the android version of the VN?

Most people will probably tell you that it is. You also don't watch the Star Wars movies in chronological order. You watch Episodes IV trough VI first, and then you go with I through III.

I'm saying there is a way for Japanese viewers to get more about Saber if they want it. I already agreed the jump from Zero's Saber stuff to UBW doesn't make sense, but it does make more sense when you realize they are giving Fate away for free. Who knows why they didn't do Fate again. Fate to HF wouldn't work very well but UBW to HF works fine even though it would be nice to have Fate Shirou stuff and Saber's resolution.
