| Oh boy... Here we go... First step, don't listen to fate fans... they want you to spend the next 8 months of your life consuming type-moon media... I would recommend you just watch Fate/Zero, Then Fate/Stay night Unlimited Blade works, Then Fate/Stay night Heavens feel (The three movies)... Those are the best ones and you'll know where to go next if you want to continue |

| The first response is pretty good. I would say to start with UBW and Heaven's Feel because they're part of the original VN and treat everything else as ancillary. Zero has some spoilers for Heaven's Feel and wasn't written by the original author, which is why I don't recommend it to start with (even though I think it's better). In short: UBW->Heaven's Feel->Zero. For everything else the order is arbitrary. |

| Since fate stories are generally self-contained you can start wherever. I would recommend starting with one of the fate/stay night anime but just watch whatever you think looks the best. |

So please don't spread misinformation. Here's the correct way to watch the series: 1. Fate/stay night (the original with Saber as the main heroine) 2. Fate/Zero (second season as well) 3. Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works (prolouge, first season, second season, sunny days ending, with Rin as the main heroine) 4. Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel (movie trilogy with Sakura as the main heroine) 5. Fate/Grand Order The rest of the series, like Fate/Extra Last Encore, and Fate/Apocrypha, are optional and you can watch at any time. |

My post doesn't qualify as "misinformation", I just said I think that's the best way to watch the fate series. I didn't include the original fate/stay night because it is awful... I dropped it two episodes in because I couldn't handle how bad it was. Even so, I loved all the other series, I didn't feel confused at all. And, just to finish, the friend up there literally said he wanted to watch the ones made by ufotable... So that's that. |

That's subjective, I think the original Fate/stay night was the best of the franchise and I don't discourage others from watching it. |

You may notice that people have already responded saying Stay Night -> Zero -> UBW -> HF. This is completely incorrect. The proper order is: Fate/stay night -> Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works -> Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel -> Fate/Zero -> The Case Files of Lord El-Melloi II. And then if you want the order for the rest of the series it's: |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
| @AnimeDownUnder You are embarrassingly incorrect. Fate/Zero was originally released in 2006 as a Light Novel, written and intended to be read with the prerequisite knowledge of the events of Fate/stay night, the 2004 Visual Novel. What is confusing you, not that I expect that would take much, is that Fate/Zero is a prequel. This means that within the series chronology, the events portrayed occur earlier than in the previous instalment, but it is still imperative that the audience is familiar with said previous instalment, just as they would be with a sequel. If you cannot comprehend non-linear storytelling, I suggest you find something more your speed, sluggish though it may be. |
| Well I for one already loved Lain. |
| @AnimeDownUnder The same humiliating mistake again. Perhaps you need it in simpler words: "Fate/Zero is set before Fate/stay night," correct, but it is not "where the story begins." Some stories choose to have their successors go back and portray an event that happened in the past of the original. The Fate/ Series is one of them. Get your miniscule head around it. And if that's still too complex, how about a little logic problem for you: Why would Kinoko Nasu write a VN that you are supposed to read after a LN that won't come out for another 2 years? |

AnimeDownUnder said: But that is actually where the story begins, dude you're trying to hard to make me literally spoil the anime you want me to spoil the anime or what? that is where the story begins and that is the actual leading events what happen right before the start of fate stay night. Like I said you don't read book backwards and you do not watch anime backwards...you keep saying that the correct order is to watch it backwards basically to watch the ending before the beginning...yikes!! I'll butt in , sorry for that. The fact that Zero end before the start of the Stay Nights just mean that the story take place before chronogically , but it was written so that you are supposed to already know the Stay Nights stories. for a simple example , i'll take Naruto & Shingeki no Kyojin. So i don't get why people want to watch the Fate Series in chronological order , when they won't with others Series. There is a lot of thing you can say to criticize the Stay Nights & praise Zero , but the "It's the start" is not one of those. Plus , if you truly want to look at the start of the story of Fate , you should start with Garden Of Avalon , or for the start of the universe , Mahoutsukai no Yoru. On top of all that , in the end , Zero is just a massive spin-off and not part of the Main Story. It's written by another writer & even contradict the main stories in some parts. If it wasn't Urobochi , it would have ended being a fan-fiction. |

AnimeDownUnder said: Here's my problem, fate zero is literally the beginning of the story and it's when you find out every single detail. Fate stay is part 2 of the story and heavens feel is just part 3 of fate stay night. So there's no other way to watch it this is literally beginning to end and the proper way to watch it. I understand what you're saying but the way you're suggesting people watch fate is basically like having a whole 2 seasons of flashback. And I don't think that is a good idea at all. Flashbacks suck...to avoid it seeming like all flashbacks. Just watch it the proper order from beginning to end rather than middle of the story, then the beginning and then skipping back to heavens feel after which just the worst order you can watch it. That's like running half way in a race, going back to the start and then running back to the middle and continuing from there again. My question is why would you purposely ruin the experience for yourself like that? If you watch fate zero after stay night, that literally is just a huge flashback, but 2 whole seasons of flashback. Yikes!!!! 2 Seasons of flashback , this is literally how it was meant to be. You can find it unconfortable , but that's how it was made. (Same as Star Wars by the way.) I honestly think it's more unconfortable to go back at the beginning at each route. (But it's a problem tied to the fact that it's from a Visual Novel.) You seems to have a problem with flashback , but it's one of your problem , not one of the rest of the world. As i said , there is a lot to say to criticize Stay Nights & praise Zero , but you are the first one i've seen that say it's unconfortable to watch Zero after because it's a flashback. So in the end , you missuse the word "proper". Oh , and if we were saying to watch Zero before Heaven's Feel , it was because there was no adaptation back then , & most people didn't want to read. (Damn pleb.) Now that there is the trilogy movie adaptation , there is no point on watching Zero in the middle of the Stay Nights. (And neither me nor Thigh_Tide said that in this thread.) |
