| Pro tip: don't start with Fate/Zero It's a good introduction to the world,however if you care about spoilers you probably shouldn't watch it first since it spoils a lot of backstory and mystery for the rest of the series. and just play the VN if you have a little 100 hours to spare. |

| Most people shit on 2006 Fate Stay Night, but i believe it's the best way to start. -By the way, after you're familiar with the universe, i reccomend you check out Apocrypha and Lord El Melloi II too. Especially the latter, since it's a sequel to Fate/Zero. -Unless you really like fanservice, i don't reccomend the Prisma Illya series. -Lastly, i strongly reccomend you see the Prisma Illya movie at some point, because unlike the series it doesn't have fanservice and has a way more serious plot. Also it's a prequel to the series, so the only thing you really need to watch to understand this movie is Fate/Zero. |

No honestly, the best I've come up with after hours of research was 1. Fate Zero 2. Fate UBW ufotable 3. Fate Heavens Feel Trilogy ufotable It's the ideal watch order imo. Though Fate/Zero might spoil a few things, fate/stay night 2006 is such a horrible adaptation that after finishing it, you'll probably give up on fate. People die when they are killed, y'know? the ost is great though ill give em that |

| Fate 2006 Fate Zero Fate UBW Fate Heaven's Feel simple as that |
| If you're a fanboy, please don't waste my time. Watch more movies, please. Kafka, Fu Xuan, Jingliu, Topaz and Huohuo. |
| Just watch Prisma Illya. The rest is fanservice. |

No honestly, the best I've come up with after hours of research was 1. Fate Zero 2. Fate UBW ufotable 3. Fate Heavens Feel Trilogy ufotable Jupp. That is correct Tho put in the regular fate stay night as well The spins offs are pretty much irrelevant and drop in quality quite hard You only need the OG fate routes and the urobuchi prequel. |
| I'd recommend you check out the Fate guide I made (with all entries available): https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1866055 |
| Just go with whatever order you want. There's no right order to watch anything, and unlike stuff like Monogatari, Fate doesn't really have a universally agreed upon watch order. If you're really dedicated to getting into the franchise, then I guess you can follow the advice of the diehards who have already and undoubtedly will continue to just tell you to play the visual novel, but in my personal opinion, I think your order is your best bet to getting the most out of Fate. Fate/Zero is without a doubt in my mind the best part of the series, and if you like Zero, you'll likely have some appreciation for UBW and even more so Heaven's Feel, whereas if you start with anything else, you might well be turned away from the series and miss Zero which is a damn shame. |
   |
| If you want to get into Fate and care about the lore, then yep! Zero --> UBW --> HF is the way to go. If you want to get deeper into the Fate series after that, then you can go for it. But this is the basic way to start, and I'd personally suggest it :> |
 |
| Go to this thread for detail https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1286059 In summary, there are 3 route you can take: Where do I start? Choose one of these options to get into the series: Anime-only: UBW anime -> HF movies -> Fate/Zero. Go with this order if you want to only experience the Fate series in anime form. However, you won't be getting the complete Fate/Stay Night experience because there is no good anime adaption of the Fate route. The Fate route is mainly Saber's story while also serving as an introduction and worldbuilding route. Although, it's not entirely necessary to read the Fate route first, so if you don't want to take the plunge into VNs, the UBW anime is your next best way to start the series. Intended: Fate route of the VN -> UBW anime -> HF movies -> Fate/Zero. Go with this order if you prefer to experience the series as it was intended with the first route of the VN, and experiencing the rest in anime form. The Fate route is roughly 12 hours long and is the ideal introduction to the series. It also seems like ufotable intends for people to play the Fate route before watching their UBW adaption by advertising that the route is free for smartphones (japan only) at the bottom of their website. It's widely agreed that the VN has a very slow start, but I assure you once it picks up you'll have trouble trying to put it down. Brave: Entire F/SN visual novel -> Fate/Zero -> UBW anime -> HF movies. I recommend this order if you just can't wait at all for the adaptions or prefer to experience F/SN in it's original, uncut form. With the full story being available to you but having to wait until the end of Spring 2015 for UBW to finish, and who knows how long for all the HF movies to be completed, and then finally getting to watch Fate/Zero, I wouldn't be surprised if you ended up going with this order when you originally were following one of the other options. You also get to see how well ufotable adapts the story and don't get to miss out on all the things that were cut. Just be prepared to spend 50+ hours as it is a very long VN, but it's definitely worth every second. |

| The only right answer is: watch everything in broadcast order, you pleb. Curiously works with all franchises. There are just plebs around the internet trying to be alternative by advicing wrong watch orders D: |

| can someone please tell me why ANYONE would watch fate zero after UBW |
| Signature removed. Please follow the signature rules, as defined in the Site & Forum Guidelines. |
| S/N > UBW > HF is the intended order from the vn. Zero can be watched literally anytime after S/N. Everything else is basically standalone. Mind as well just go with production order since that's how the majority of people have experienced it at this point. |
Kenzolo-folk said: can someone please tell me why ANYONE would watch fate zero after UBW I need to know, too. Never understood why some people recommend this. |
| Imagine how boring this world would be without Japan - a comment at youtube |
Which one do I play first? and how are these different from the 2004 version? The only fate I have ever really watched was prisma, so I'm a beginner. |
yaruka said: Which one do I play first? and how are these different from the 2004 version? The only fate I have ever really watched was prisma, so I'm a beginner. Fate>UBW>HF The 2004 version has hentai scenes while Realta Nua has slightly updated graphics and more OSTs, but doesn't have hentai scenes (though anyone who reads F/SN for the hentai is clearly reading it for the wrong reason) AcD4c said: Kenzolo-folk said: can someone please tell me why ANYONE would watch fate zero after UBW I need to know, too. Never understood why some people recommend this. Because Fate/Stay Night came out before Fate/Zero did and thus Fate/Zero spoils major parts of Fate/Stay Night (especially Heaven's Feel). What are you talking about? There is no Tsukihime anime Now the Tsukihime manga on the other hand is excellent. I highly recommend it if you want to get the jokes from Carnival Phantasm. |

In terms of story I imagine they are both the same(maybe some translation differences here and there, but nothing too out of place). I don't think it matters too much which one you start with. Since it looks like you already downloaded Realta Nua, you should probably stick with it. |

| just watch loli yuri things in fate ilya prisma and thats it. |
| still having great time with my stuff |
| What's wrong with just watching in release order and figuring out the timeline as you go along? |
 |
| Watch Zero since it’s the only good one and then skip the rest. |
 |
| Zero is the only good one, UBW is meh. 2006 ubw is DEF no. Haven't watched Ilya so idk about that. |
 |
| This is how I recommend people watch the Fate series 1. Start with one of the Fate/Stay Night series that isn't Heaven's Feel, either the 2006 Fate/Stay Night, or UBW if you don't plan on watching the 2006 version 2. Watch Fate/Zero afterwards 3. Watch the rest of the Fate/Stay Nights that you haven't seen but plan to 4. Then watch Kara no Kyoukai and realize it's better |
 |
| Follow the release order but skip Fate Stay Night Unlimited Blades Works movie (2010) by Studio Deen |
| @BerZzzerk would probably know, he's super knowledgable. |
hizaqw_1 said: just watch loli yuri things in fate ilya prisma and thats it. This is a decent course of action. You can watch the rest if you liked it I guess. |
| watch Carnival Phantasm, it's 10 times better than Fate |
    |
| i watched fate/stay night (2006) then fate zero then fate/stay night UBW then fate/stay night Heaven's Feel then fate/Grand order (optional) then Carnival Phantasm (optional but it's a good laugh) |

| As I have always said - Watch EVERYTHING in RELEASE ORDER. The real question is whether to watch the 2006 adaptation or not. Many people will say don't. I saw it and personally I liked it. Maybe coz back then I was new to anime but still I thought it was good. And tbh the only thing UBW was good at was the animation and a few ost. The characters in UBW are annoying af. The only thing absolutely outstanding in the franchise is Fate Zero. That is in a whole other league. Haven't yet seen the Heavens feel movies. |

| I like how most of this thread is folk proving they know nothing about Fate. |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
