who am i kidding fate fans will never agree to anything.
Fate/Zero
TV, 2011, 13 eps Me:- Author:9
the best starting point for new Fate fans, if you find this boring then consider starting from Unlimited Blade Works. Fate/Zero can be an overwhelming information-dump for most viewers
Fate/Zero 2nd Season
TV, 2012, 12 eps Me:- Author:9
Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works Prologue
TV Special, 2014, 1 ep Me:- Author:7
optional side story from POV of main heroine
Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works
TV, 2014, 12 eps Me:- Author:8
this is another equally good starting point, you don't need to know about Fate/Zero to enjoy UBW
Fate/stay night Movie: Heaven's Feel - I. Presage Flower
Movie, 2017, 1 ep Me:- Author:8
same characters as Unlimited Blade Works but different route

(highly recommended to watch UBW first since this adaptation assumes you know the characters already)
Carnival Phantasm
OVA, 2011, 12 eps Me:- Author:9
a series of comical skits between the cast of Fate/Stay Night and Tsukihime (another Type-Moon series)
Emiya-san Chi no Kyou no Gohan
ONA, 2018, 13 eps Me:- Author:8
if you ever wanted to see the F/SN characters get along, this was made for you.
Lord El-Melloi II Sei no Jikenbo: Rail Zeppelin Grace Note
TV, 2019, 13 eps Me:- Author:-
a spin-off series that stars a grown-up Waver Velvet, (the kid that summoned Alexander in Fate/Zero)
Fate/strange Fake: Whispers of Dawn
TV Special, 2023, 1 ep Me:- Author:7
one-episode anime adaptation for the manga/light novel series
Fate/strange Fake
TV, -, ? eps Me:- Author:-
Fate/Apocrypha
TV, 2017, 25 eps Me:- Author:7
set in an alternate universe with different rules to the Grail War

has virtually nothing to do with the main Fate/stay night series
Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya
TV, 2013, 10 eps Me:- Author:-
this is a weird one
Fate/Extra: Last Encore
TV, 2018, 10 eps Me:- Author:-
set in an alternate universe (ON THE FUCKING MOON).

In all honesty, not recommended. If you like the main cast then maybe play Fate/Extra or the Fate/Extella Games
Fate/Prototype
OVA, 2011, 1 ep Me:- Author:5
this is a short ova of the original concept for Fate/Stay Night

(it's not good)
Fate/Grand Order
CM, 2014, ? eps Me:- Author:-
F/GO is the mobile game, this entry is just the animated TV advertisements but I'm using it to explain FGO.

FGO is regularly updated with new storylines set within the Fate universe and is worth checking out

(however, the story is pretty bad until the Sixth Singularity(Camelot) but then after that every main story chapter is kinda a masterpiece)
Fate/Grand Order: First Order
TV Special, 2016, 1 ep Me:- Author:4
adaptation of the first chapter in the FGO visual novel mobile game

(i highly do NOT recommended this, if you're interested in FGO then play the game, spread the word)

also since i know this will come up: NO, there are No anime adaptations for Singularities 1~5 as of writing this and if there were they would be dogshit so that's why they don't exist.
Fate/Grand Order: Shinsei Entaku Ryouiki Camelot 1 - Wandering; Agateram
Movie, 2020, 1 ep Me:- Author:6
a pretty bad anime adaptation of the 6th Singularity (7th main story chapter in the visual novel game)

i do not recommend this movie if you haven't played though the Camelot Singularity in-game

if you HAVE played the game, the only thing worth watching is the last 20 minutes for "STELLAAAAAAAAAAA"
Fate/Grand Order: Shinsei Entaku Ryouiki Camelot 2 - Paladin; Agateram
Movie, 2021, 1 ep Me:- Author:7
much better than the first part, but still vert lacking as an adaptation

final fight was animated very well tho
Fate/Grand Order: Zettai Majuu Sensen Babylonia
TV, 2019, 21 eps Me:- Author:8
a pretty good anime adaptation of the 7th Singularity (8th main story chapter in the visual novel game)

it can be enjoyed as it's own thing though: basically Fujimaru and Mash travel back in time to 3000 BC to retrieve the Holy Grail in the region causing shit to go haywire which will indirectly lead to the world ending in 2020
Fate/Grand Order: Shuukyoku Tokuiten - Kani Jikan Shinden Solomon
Movie, 2021, 1 ep Me:- Author:8
the avengers endgame of FGO, captured both emotional moments and the action scenes in the game version perfectly (and possibly better)

(t's really good)
Fate/Grand Carnival
OVA, 2020, 4 eps Me:- Author:8
spiritual successor to Carnival Phantasm but way shorter

(only appeals to hardcore FGO players i think)
