You'll definitely want to have watched the three routes of Fate/Stay Night, and Lord El-Milloi's Case Files. It has little to nothing to do with Fate/Zero.

Na, you're skipping all three routes, just to see it first?

You need to at least watch one of the Stay Night routes as well. There's key information and lore in Stay Night that will help you understand Strange Fake better.

If you have watched fate zero then you should be more interested in watching the 3 sequel routes. Why do you want to watch this first?
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

Sure you can! Zero introduces to the Fate universe and the mechanics, but I would recommend Fate unlimited blade works by ufotable as well!

It’s just two seasons and then you can watch whispers of dawn. You can also watch whispers of dawn without watching UBW, but I honestly recommend watching UBW before.

Also, you DONT have to watch Heavens feel trilogy to watch whispers of dawn (assuming you have watched UBW), you can directly watch whispers after UBW and not watching Heavens feel trilogy will not affect your experience.

You should be fine. If you want to be safe then watch Unlimited Blade Works too, but it won’t matter a huge amount, as this one is completely unrelated. Also, I’ve enjoyed the Strange/Fake stuff so far much more than any of the SN adaptations, so I wouldn’t call any of them a MUST watch.

Aw, I was hoping to watch Strange Fake because it's written by Ryohgo Narita, but from this thread it seems it isn't as stand-alone as I hoped. Maybe I'll come back to it later if I eventually watch the Stay Night routes.

it would be reccomended to atleast watch the Main story first.
fsn 2006, ubw and heavens feel.
case files would also be reccomended for some character backgrounds.

The core things you need is Fate/Zero, Fate/Stay Night and Lord El-Melloi's Case Files.
This is one of those series in which your enjoyment is improved the more you know (even including stuff like Tsukihime), but it's hardly necessary beyond those core things.
Rest in Piece, Miura.

This is like asking if you can just start an anime on S3... use your brain, guy.
If you reply back to me and I never respond, I lost interest and don't care. Sorry about that.

There is no need to watch El Melloi spin-off whatsoever, specially bc it's so awful(mentally ill Kirito is back to annoy people here though), would be good to watch Stay Night or UBW though, but not it's not a must, you know more than enough from Zero, to understand what's going on here.

PS: Professor El Melloi II is Weaver from Zero.
