I will update the description boxes but I’m just lazy.
If you decide to start fate in this order do tell me you experience.

SOME MAIN TERMINOLOGY YOU NEED TO KNOW BEFORE GETTING INTO FATE:
1.Nasuverse: It is a fan nickname referring to the shared setting of a number of TYPE-MOON (game company that produces visual novels also) works. Their works are adapted in manga form, light novels and anime.
2.Holy Grail War: The Holy Grail War is a competition where in the end the Greater Holy Grail is achieved. Basically a wish-granter that uses a relic (a cup) that received the blood of Christ. 7 Masters who use magic to summon 7 servants (one for each) to fight among themselves until one pair gets left.
3.Master: They are a magus. They do usually come from a long family lineage of magus. They participate in the Holy Grail war by forming a contract with a servant. They have 3.a) Magic Circuits (think of it like veins and arteries but for magic to flow through). A master provides magical energy for their servants.
They use a 3.b) COMMAND SPELL - Masters have three of them. If a magus uses it, the servant is obliged to fulfill any command that comes from their master. It is usually saved to command a servant to commit suicide in order to reach the root via the Greater Holy Grail.
4.Servant (also known as Heroic Spirit)- They are historical, myths or legend figures that have achieved great deeds in their lifetime and are summoned by Masters to fight alongside them in the Holy Grail
They are placed in classed
SABER , LANCER, ARCHER, RIDER, CASTER, ASSASSIN, BERSERKER. - Each of these main seven classes has a GRAND class. A GRAND (saber/lancer etc) servant is summoned to prevent mankind extinction.
And there are extra classes. Here are the main ones.
RULER- oversees the Holy Grail War and does not have any desire for it.
AVENGER - They are founded on vengeance, born from powerful resentment that does not fade even after death.
ALTER EGO - Alter Egos are a phenomenon where one persona of a Heroic Spirit gains independence as a separate entity.
SHIELDER - They utilize shields.
Pseudo-Servants - are Servants that have manifested utilizing humans as their vessels. (The servant controls the human body)
Demi-Servants - are conceptual humans who have taken the Heroic Spirits into their bodies, functioning as Servants. (The human controls their bodies.
After they die during a Holy Grail War, their souls are stored in the Lesser Grail.
When they die in real life their soul gets transported to the Throne of Heroes that resides outside of the World. From here servants can be summoned in different parallel timelines. When summoned the servants are just copies of their Throne of Heroes body. So if they are summoned again, or in another timeline they are just a copy with no memories of other previous holy grail wars they fought in.
5.Grail Vessel (Lesser Holy Grail): It is designed to intake defeated Servants. Up until the third Grail War, the vessel for the Grail was a literal "cup". However, during the events of the third War it was damaged. Irisvel and Illya were created to be the physical embodiment of the Lesser Grail.
6.Greater Holy Grail: The prize after the completion of the War that grants a wish. It needs mana to be activated (that is why the War usually happens every 60 years). Once the vessel is filled with seven (or six) servants, the Greater Grail opens a hole to Akasha.(see no.16)
7.Noble Phantasm: Trump card for Servants. These are very strong abilities that they have, unique to their own.
8.Holy Church: a group of people who target people who insult God, kill, twist laws of nature etc. So they do get involved in the Holy Grail War to keep peace of mankind since they see it as an irregularity.
9.Mage Association: an organization formed, to hide and develop Magecraft.
10.The Root: is a metaphysical location that is the source of all events and phenomenons of the universe. It exists outside of time. It has all information, events, past, present and future. The ultimate ambition for a Magi is to reach this root to obtain all knowledge (one way which they try to reach it is via the Holy Grail).
11.Reality Marbel: A created world that is completely cut off from normal reality. It can only be used for a few minutes because the world will seek to crush it.
It is responsible for the Projection and Reinforcement abilities. Some can be activated inside the body of the user. (E.g. Emiya Shirou in Fate/HF)
12.Chaldeas - Utilized by Chaldea Security Organization in the World of Fate/Grand Order for the purpose of saving humanity. CHALDEAS can be used to look 100 years into the future. It is a form of intelligent machine with characteristics of a black hole. Humans can not go into contact with it. It recreates planet Earth in miniature which is 100 years into the future (its world copy is set in 2117) that is why people can look so far.
It is located in Chaldea Headquarters in Antarctica.
With this machine singularities can be discovered.
Laplace- Monitors the past.
Sheba- Observes in detail the information in Chaldeas and displays it in a monitor.
Fate- Summons Heroic Spirits
Trismegistus- utilized in reyshiftin (timetravel)
13.Singularities: Important for the Fate/ Grand Order anime. Singularities are unobservable regions that do not exist within Chaldea's recorded history. A Holy Grail is given to a certain individual within a key historical time period, typically someone who will use it to cause major disruption to history. The future is reduced to a mass of arbitrary possibilities. The era in which the Singularity manifests in will be destroyed completely under the strain of the impossible events that the Singularity forces into existence, causing the end of history itself.
The power of the Grails and the circumstances within the Singularities allow for the summoning of Servants and their continued existence in the world, even without a Master. Master-less servants are summoned by the Grail itself as a reaction to its abuse.
*Singularity F - that happens in Fuyuki City 2004 AD (Fate/Grand Order First Order)
First Singularity - France year 1431
Second singularity - Roman Empire Year 60
Third Singularity - Okeanos Year 1573
Fourth Singularity - London Year 1888
Fifth Singularity - North America 1784
*Sixth Singualarity - Fate/Grand Order: Divine Realm of the Round Table - Camelot 1273
*Seventh Singularity - Mesopotamia 2655 BC
*Final Singularity - Fate/Grand Order: Final Singularity - Grand Temple of Time: Solomon 2016
14.Dead Apostles: are humans that became Vampires either by the use of Magecraft or by the actions of another Vampire of similar nature.
15.Magic (Maho): It is different from Magecraft. It represents the actualization of events that are impossible to reproduce in a certain era, whether by humans or the Planet, even if given an infinite amount of time and resources. The acquisition of the capacity to perform Magic is considered the ultimate accomplishment of a Magus, and only within the grasp of those who have accessed the Swirl of the Root. Concepts like time manipulation, teleportation, spatial warping and quarantine, and the Resurrection of the dead are miracles thought to be possible only through the application of Magic.
So Magic is being able to do something that can’t be done by means of since or nature (like teleporting). Magecraft is the opposite (making flames with hands for example which can be done with science or by nature). However with the development of science, if something that can be achieved by magic turns achievable by other means, than this magic turns into magecraft.
There are 5 magics (keep the third magic in mind) :
- First Domain: Details about it are unknown. Though the exact domain of the First Magic is uncertain, it is related to the generation of Ether(or void, part of 5 Great elemts- Wind. water, Fire, Earth) Clumps, which have been called "materialized nothing". Witches are supernatural beings involved in the establishment of the First Magic. (A girl magus is not necessarily a witch)
-Second Magic: Operation of Parallel Worlds
- The Third Magic: Materialization of the soul.
- The Fourth Magic: The details regarding its domain are unknown.
The Fifth Magic: Abilities related to Time Travel.
16.ALYA: The Counter Force is a safety device formed by a World (keep reading for explanation) to defend itself against extinction and is synonymous with the World it represents. They are described as passive spirals of energy that respond to threats of planet destruction or human extinction.
The World, is two types. Gaia is the will of the Earth, the planet's intrinsic wish to survive and prosper. Alaya, on the other hand, is the collective unconscious will of mankind to avoid extinction.
17. Counter Guardian: The Counter Force empowers a "normal person" in life to remove the factor that can trigger destruction. They act with no autonomy of their own and only appear in response to an event.
17.Moon Cell- It is a large computer-like construct created by an unknown civilization one hundred million years before the existence of the Earth or the Moon. It has recorded everything that has happened on the planet since its formation. It faithfully simulates all life on Earth and is capable of providing a definite prediction of the future.
18.SE.RA.PH - A part of the Moon Cell. It is a world where Souls are transformed into information. The SE.RA.PH is responsible for the summoning of the Servants during Fate/EXTRA. The SE.RA.PH restricts the exit until the tournament participants (of Fate/ Extra’s Holy Grail) are reduced to one, as per the Moon Cell's rules. It is also responsible for the existence of the NPCs and all areas in the tournament.
The landscapes generated by SE.RA.PH are all independent Reality Marbles

•~•~•~•~•~
Make sure to read and understand explanation no. 4,12,13 before you continue.
•~•~•~•~•~
Before we start I would like to say that I highly recommend that you watch this and the two next anime of this list first. They are not hard to grasp at all. I recommend them because you will definitely understand more of the anime that are to come and appreciate and connect on a deeper level with reaccuring characters. So if you are new to fate this is a perfect place to begin.
I do suggest you start this one anyway since it has more explanation about the time traveling whereas the 2 other movies just kinda start and you do not get introduced to Mash and Fujimaru and they are just kinda there with no explanation.
•~•~•~•~•~
If this is your first anime of your fate journey worry not because it is not hard to grasp.
We have our main characters - Fujimaru (Master) and Mash (Servant).
They go back in time with Rayshift (a time traveling machine) to Singularity Number 7. The end goal is to destroy the entity that is causing it and save humanity. Otherwise their future and all of mankind will die.
They meet a lot of servants, and as explained they are master-less.
While they are in this timeline they keep communication with Dr. Ramon (who does not time travel) who instructs, gives insights and helps overall with the situation. So Mash and Fujimaru keep in contact with Chaldea Organization.

A concepet to grasp here is the Age of Gods. Basically it happened in 4.5 Billion years ago up until 1 AD. In this age there are interaction between Gods (who existed in a physical form) and Humans, and Magecraft is closer to being Magic. The Age of Gods came to an end because of Seraf who is the second Velber, which is an observation device (the Velber) created by the race that created the Moon Cell and it destroys everything on its path. (Ultimately 80% of Earth was destroyed in the year 12.000 BC and the separation of Gods and Humans began)
The Gods created Gilgamesh to connect the Gods and Humans (also tasked to lay the foundations for the future civilizations) but he encouraged the separation and the Gods who became Divine Spirits and now live in the Reverse Side of the World (Kind of like a Reality Marble of the World itself). The can no longer interact with humans.
Also in Babylonia-Initum Iter we will describe FATE- a Servant summoning System in Chaldea used to utilize servants in their Grand Orders (also build to create Demi-Servants but unsuccessful) This way Leonardo Da Vinci was summoned without a master. She created a puppet of herself to be her “Master”.

We have the Servant.
1. Mash- Shielder
2. Ana/Medusa- Lancer Class
3. Ishtar-Divine Spirit/ Pseudo-Servant Divine Spirits are Gods that deteriorated as the Age of Gods came to a close. It is the classification for the highest rank of Nature Spirit. Nature Spirits are Spirits born from elements of nature such as plants, soil, gemstones, natural phenomena, etc. These Spiritual Bodies are formed by the will of the planet earth and they gain energy from nature itself.
4. Ereshkigal-Pseudo-Servant
5. Jaguar Man-Lancer Class/Pseudo-Servant
6. Quetzalcoatl-Rider Class
7. Gorgon-Avenger Class. Summoned by the Holy Grail, Enkidu restores her Divinity. She created the Demonic Beasts and wants to destroy humanity. Enkidu convinces Ereshkigal, Gorgon and Quetzalcoatl in a three goddesses alliance in order to achieve humanities destruction. Only Gorgon takes it seriously.
8. Kingu-Lancer Class. He takes the body of Enkidu. Enkidu was created by Gods neither male or female, and without a soul. However his purpose was to return Gilgamesh to the control of the Gods, tasked to give the wrath and judgment of God upon Gilgamesh. He found hims as a kid, so he waited until Gilgamesh grew (he became even more arrogant) to fight him as an equal. They became friends.
Once Ishtar proposed to Gilgamesh which he refused and she send the Bull of Heaven (a beast of God) to punish them. After Gilgamesh and Enkidu destroyed it Ishtar requested that they be put to death for slaying it. Enkidu returned as a clod of Earth from which he was created, remaining the only friend Gligamesh ever had.
Enkidu’s personallity resides in his body. Therefore in the Throne of Heroes his body is registered and not his soul. When Kingu takes over Enkidu’s body (because of the Holy Grain that was put in Enkindu’s corpse in the underworld) he also has access to his memories, all of his powers and even Nobel Phantasm.
9. Gilgamesh - Caster Class. He is two third God and one third Human, King of Heroes, said to possess all things in the world. The heroes of myths derive from him and his Noble Phantasm, Gate of Babylon, possesses all of the heroes Noble Phantasms.
As he grew as king he became a Tyrant, arrogant and this is where Enkidu saw that he should take action to punish him. Their fight lasted several days, adn Gligamesh was surprised to have found his equal. Together they took on adventures that made Gilgamesh possesor of all treasurs of the world. After Enkidu's death Gilgamesh was faced with his own mortality. He went in surch of something that would make him immortal and he found the herb that grew in the underworld. While going home he decided to rest, and the herb was eaten by a snake. But that did not depres him. He now realized his human nature and laughed away the event.
Gilgamesh we see here is the one that has returned from this journey. After seeing Uruk’s (where the story takes place) destruction from the singularity that’s created, he registers it in the Tablet of Destiny then summons:
10. Merlin-Grand Caster Servent. Merlin used to have an affair with Vivian or the Lady of the Lake(we will talk about her in Paladin; Agateram). Before the last battle of King Arthur he tried to run away from Vivian claiming that she would murder him. He went to the Reverse Side of the World (Avalon in his case) and there he passed a gate. Too late he realized it was a trap by Vivian and he is stuck there even now. He now resides in this Tower called the Gate of Avalon for all eternity. He can never be an Heroic Spirit since he will never die. So how is he summoned here? Well he is yet to be born in this era. He uses Manifestation to arrange a summoning by Gilgamesh utilizing this loophole. However he is not his real self (more of an astral projection) and his powers are limited to a Caster Servant even though he is a Grand Caster. In the end he appears with his body (according to him dimensional barriers get damaged a lot and he can just walk right out)
11. Ushiwakamaru- Rider Class.
12. Musashibou Benke-Lancer Class. This is just his fake indentiy he wore in his life beacuse he is not the real Benkei, but his comrade in war who fleed in fear of his life.
13. Leonidas-Lancer Class
