Basically, i was recently wondering if 2014 version is worth watching? Also what are the general changes to it, and is there anything new that wasn't mentioned or done in the original series?

I'm level on mal-badges. View my badges.

Didn't read the second part of your comment. The general difference is it's the Rin Tosaka route, overall better produced than Fate/stay night.

Fate Zero and UBW are done by Ufotable which has some of the best production value so watch in 1080p. Most people prefer Zero but I like UBW better personally. Regardless Fate Zero comes before Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works], so watch that first.

I'd say it's worth watching if you like Deen version. Fate/SN UBW animation is much better than Deen's. I certainly enjoyed the action scenes presented in UBW compared to Deen's SN version. There are different results in the fights as it's an alternative version, so yes you'll see something new at least. The soundtrack is at least solid.

The second season though dipped for me compared to the first season

And to echo, Fate/Zero is the best version of Fate and you should watch before UBW

The 2014 anime is better than the 2010 film is better than the wing of the visual novel both are based on. It's a pretty good show. However, as I'm sure has been made clear, you'll want to read the visual novel and/or watch Fate/Zero first. The latter, just do anyway.

This glorious signature image was created by @Mayumi!

I am the Arbiter of Absolute Truth, and here is my wisdom:

"Anime was always influenced by the West. This is not news.
Shoujo is the superior genre primarily aimed at young people.
Harem/isekai are lazy genres that refuse any meaningful innovation.
There is no 'Golden Age.' There will always be top-shelf anime.
You should be watching Carole & Tuesday."

Thread moved from anime discussion board.

OT: I found the anime to be amazing! I didn't play the VN, or watch the movie so I can't answer those questions. Really solid anime, and looks absolutely stunning.

Not worth it. FSN is absolutely impossible to be experienced by just watching anime.
THe 2006 adaptation is a mess that tired to fuse all three routes in anime original storyline.
2014 adaptation is supposed to be an adaptation of the second route, UBW, but it is incomprehensible trainwreck that is just barely understandable IF you already have read the visual novel.

Fate Zero is the only good fate adaptation.
Also watching Fate Zero first is the worst possible advice considering Fate Zero spoils 99% of FSN.


Its one of those situations where you either read the source material or not bother at all.

Nope. It's nothing more than a disgrace to fate zero. Sad characters and really a pain to deal watching them. Pretty shit story as well. Only watched it for Kotomine Kirei and Gilgamesh both of who sadly received very less screen time.

Wow, the butchered anime of the original VN is a disgrace to a prequel that came out few years after? Awesome.

Every person in this entire sub-forum has watched Fate/Zero. That's an incredibly dumb question to ask and yes FSN is indeed superior to FZ.

Someone who only watched the anime is preaching his opinion as fact when in fact you know nothing of the entire Fate franchise to begin with since you're just another casual who thinks he has a grasp of what Fate is all about since he watched the gritty, dark and "mature" prequel of the VN.
