| You don't need any experience in the franchise to watch Fate/Zero. I turned out fine. |

| Having seen everything by air date, I can assure you that you will not be confused if you do the same. |

Prequels are meant to be watched after the original work. |

nocorras said: Ohp. Nevermind then. Cancel all plans. mayukachan said: I didn't even know they existed until now. lol I don't plan to. They don't exist right now. We're going to have to wait until every single adaptation is released before we can determine the singular viewing order ordained upon us by the holy grail. |

We're going to have to wait until every single adaptation is released before we can determine the singular viewing order ordained upon us by the holy grail. Please quote where I said someone had to do a certain order? All I said is something doesn't exist. If you don't want 80% of plot points spoiled you wait, if you don't care you watch Zero. If you like the franchise you read the VN and it doesn't matter. |

| VN -> Zero Fate VN -> UBW Anime -> HF Movie -> Zero |
| i'm not planning on getting extremely into this series, i just want to watch it so i know why everyone likes it so much. definitely not reading the novels or playing any games. what order do i go by? |

Doesn't really matter, it sounds like you're not going to want to wait until 2016+ to watch Zero so you might as well just watch Zero. |

| Many people said that I should start from remake F/SN then go for F/Zero. I am reading more and more posts about it and I am also more confused. Damn. :D |
dvn said: Many people said that I should start from remake F/SN then go for F/Zero. I am reading more and more posts about it and I am also more confused. Damn. :D Fate/Stay Night is a VN with three routes. Fate -> Unlimited Blade Works -> Heaven's Feel. Fate has an adaptation but it's bad and should not be watched first since it spoils Unlimited Blade Works and Heaven's Feel. Watching Unlimited Blade Works and Heaven's Feel before Zero is optimal if you don't want spoilers. Unfortunately Heaven's Feel probably won't be completed until 2016+ so most will recommend either reading the VN then watching Zero, or watch UBW then Zero. Anything that doesn't involve reading/watching Heaven's Feel prior to Zero will spoil a majority of the twists in the route. |

It's a type of computer game (text one), am I right? I am pretty new to anime. Also thanks for fast and clear answer! Will I lose much if I skip Heaven's Feel? |

Will I lose much if I skip Heaven's Feel? Yes, it's a game with text, music, and primarily static graphics. Heaven's Feel is the route that explains a lot of stuff about the universe of Fate Stay Night. Also you cannot fully understand the end of Fate/Zero without Heaven's Feel knowledge. I should note I didn't mean Heaven's Feel should be watched first, I meant prior to Zero and I edited it in the other post. |

| If you ever plan on maybe someday reading a visual novel, just read the FSN VN then watch Zero, Zero's a prequel, I guarantee you're going to enjoy it that much more. It's a bit wordy but FSN been a good 1st VN for heaps of people. buut.. If you just want to watch anime go for Zero, no-ones going to wait for the HF adaptation just to watch Zero. |
 |
| Thank you again for answer. I will try to get FSN VN and start from it. It will be new experience for me. :) |
| why does everything have to be so complicated??? geez what is with these 10000 routes |

| Optimally (anime only); F/SN UBW-->F/SN HF-->F/Z |
owlpoop said: But it's not.why does everything have to be so complicated??? geez what is with these 10000 routes You watch F/SN before F/Z because of spoilers. If you don't care about spoilers then watch in whatever order you want. It's that simple. |

| It isnt even that complicated. nocorras said: |
| Most important fact to know: F/Z was a prequel made after F/SN and expects F/SN knowledge for full enjoyment, though it's still amazing standalone. Now with this being said, if you ever plan on reading the VN or care about maximizing you experience with the franchise, then you'll save F/Z for after you either: -Read the F/SN VN OR -Watch the UBW anime and HF movies But if you don't care, then you can do as you please. Though, keep in mind that if you watch F/Z first, don't expect F/SN to be a "F/Z 2" and that you'll have some plot points (particularly for HF) spoiled for you. |

| This thread almost gave me an aneurysm. mayukachan said: nocorras said: doesn't matter about experience, it matters about spoiling major plot points. In UBW? I didn't feel spoiled. Ignorance of being spoiled does not mean you are not spoiled. Deserada said: Having seen everything by air date, I can assure you that you will not be confused if you do the same. Except that you won't still understand ANYTHING in second half of Zero and you will be completely spoiled for every mystery and plot point of UBW and Heaven's Feel. |

Speaking from personal experience, they won't know what they don't know, but they will manage to understand just enough to make it not feel like anything is missing. We've already given our warnings. If they want to spoil parts of F/SN for themselves, then that's their choice. |

| Just don't blame me when they bitch that "end of Zero made no sense and was anticlimatic" or when they come to FSN threads and spoils hit unaware and talk on how it fsn is simply a recap. |
