I'm pretty new to the Fate series and started watching Fate/stay night because I want to watch it in order that your supposed to like the creator wants you too.
Anyways, my friend sent me this and I'm currently in Episode 9.

https://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2014-07-27/new-fate-stay-night-tv-anime-is-unlimited-blade-works/.77058

Looking at the Fate/stay night 2014 PV (the youtube video) I don't see much of a difference at all from the first Fate/stay night. From the PV, the voice actors are the same, the scenes are the same, and the story is the same. The only difference I saw was the HD Animation.

...So, does anyone know what the difference is going to be now that this 2014 version is said to be following the original game?
I don't know much about it's sources except that Fate/stay night is originally from a Visual Novel, and that Fate/zero is originally from a Light Novel (from Wikipedia).

If you are going to spoil, give a little hint as to how big the spoiler is and add in spoiler tags please.

Its not the same. Completely different. The first Fate/stay night tried to adapt the Fate route but failed miserably. The remake will adapt the second route (Unlimited Blade Works) which have completely different scene from the Fate route and hopefully will succeed. So if I were you just stop watching the DEEN original Fate/stay night and wait for the remake instead.

The vn has different routes, and this anime will adapt a different route than DEEN's F/sn tv series. Looking that up yourself would have taken less time than posting this thread.

True. It does look exactly the same.

Everything in DEEN'S animu sucked.

THis is why Ufotable wins:





UBW is a different route, thus different story than DEEN's FSN.

A big DUH, at this. Why would they be different?

No they are not. Some are similar sinc eprev ious anime adapted the prologue partt "Decently".

and the story is the same.

Nope



Also yeah the above quote of mine too. Although now it could be way longer.

Will you ever get tired of baiting?


This isn't baiting.

Its the same Studio as Fate/Zero and probably the same director.

Its going to be similar and its going to be grimdark.

And yes, everything UFOtable does is filled with CGI but at least its cool looking CGI.

ITs a different story and different character personalities.

- No Saber/Shirou.
- Actual character development.
- No shitty fillers or anime original bullshit.
- No underplayed fights or powers.

I've noticed on youtube comments people talking about this one following a new route? Rin's route. And the other one I'm not really sure but I think people said it followed a little bit of everyone's route or something.

It was Saber's route, Fate. With DEEN trying to incorporate parts from the other 2 routes & turning it into a train wreck.

One Last Question, I suppose.
Of course in the end I'm still gonna choose based on my taste of what I feel I should do and would like to do but I still want a little insight.

If the first Fate/stay night followed some parts well of the story but created some fillers and the new one only follows Rin's route and the general story of course without any fillers.
Which should I watch?

So far I'm leaning to watch both just to enjoy and experience both.
Because, the first one has something that the new one doesn't. So, why not.

You are watching the TV series from Deen of Fate/stay night right? That isn't what I'm talking about, Deen did a movie adaptation of the route, Ufotable's adapting, UBW. It put a 20 something hour route into a 90 minute film. A disaster.

I argue the opposite. It makes ufotable's look even better by comparison. On the flip side, once you watch ufotables, you won't be able to watch DEEN's.

Saying previous adaptation adapted fate is arguable since majority of actual FATE route was removed(character growth, character interactions, anything that made Shirou look good, etc) It was pretty much DEEN's own take on the franchise and it SUCKED. The only good thing was very very ending.

If you're going to watch the remake first then don't bother with watching DEEN's anime. Either you watch the 2006 anime then watch the remake or watch the remake and not watch DEEN's anime.

Eh...I agree Ufotable is superior than DEEN, but in those screenshot comparisons, DEEN's is not bad at all. They all look pretty good actually, with the exception of Shiro.

Not just character designs. Compare the overall art quality.

At least the Saber summoning scene, it looks like shit in DEEN's version.
