Ok...so i know this is a common question, but i need some help.
I started with zero season 1, but didn't get hooked, now some say i should have saved zero for last.
I'm thinking with the 06 (deen) version fan edit.
Or should i just watch UBW first ?

u can go release order: Zero , UBW, HF or a way recommended by many UBW, HF, Zero. I've watched both ways and think they have pros and cons for which is the better watch order. I still haven't watched stay night 2006 yet so I have no opinion (except on that CGI dragon dear god)

In my opinion, Zero and UBW, whichever first is your choice, just note that watching either will reveal hidden plot twists in the other before watching it

Stay night 06 was a flop, UBW perfects it

Unlimited Blade Works first if Zero hasn't hooked you. I started with the 2006 stay night, but that anime is mediocre af. Honestly you won't be able to get into Fate if you start with the 2006 version. The animation is garbage, characters are unbearably underdeveloped, the only good thing about it is the music, but you get just as good of a soundtrack from UBW and Heaven's Feel Movies.

I’d go UBW and then Zero. If you’re really into it then I’d also watch Heaven’s Feel but if not then don’t bother

Someone recommended it to me like this UBW->HF->zero
after completing it I think it was for the best they get better in this order too, hf was better than ubw and zero (S2) mostly was just the best imo

They way I've watched it in order was

-Zero
-Stay Night
-Stay Night Unlimited Blades

While knowing that Unlimited Blade works was just a better Stay Night in a Alternate Universe

Wherever you start you get spoiled.

So imo, it’s better to get spoiled for the less ‘good’ (subjectively).

So, imo

You should start with Fate Zero and then with Fate stay night (any version you want)

I started with UBW series and when I went to Zero, I realized I enjoyed Zero more, but it kinda sucked as I’d been spoiled from UBW.

There is no correct order unless you read the VN first.

You are supposed to watch Zero last , since it's a Prequel.
Which means that it use plot points of the original story to explain something.

However , since you already watched the 1st Season , you already spoiled yourself 80% of the original story...
So just finish it , and then go for the 2006 Anime > Unlimited Blade Works TVs > Heaven's Feel Trilogy.

If you want the order for the Parodies/Spin-Offs :

you can watch zero either before or after the whole series and it will still make sense. though it's probably meant to be watched afterwards, you can watch it before and still enjoy the series.

Well, yes. But, tbh, it depends from person to person, as to how you will enjoy it more.

The question was about the "watch order" and Fate/Zero still comes later as it is a Prequel, which should be watched after watching all the 3 Routes. Even Urobuchi said about this in an interview somewhere.

This is the only watch order i think makes sense! chronological (zero->2006, so on…) is good but i feel like it makes more sense to watch zero as a prequel than as the first installment.

Nice to see that the watch order threads have already begun. The most simple answer is the release order, for both the source material (the Visual Novels and Light Novels) and their anime adaptations.
If you're sticking to the Source Material - read the original Fate/ Stay Night VN (which consists of three routes: Fate, Unlimited Blade Works and Heaven's Feel, which you unlock in that order), then the sequel VN Fate/ Hollow Ataraxia and then the prequel Light Novel Fate/ Zero - if you're watching the adaptations, watch Fate/ Stay Night, then Fate/ Zero, then UBW, then Heaven's Feel or replicate the source material order with the anime.

Cringe, everyone knows Emiya Gohan is the true route of Fate, everything else is just a subpar cash-in

I'm a big Fate fan but I think fate should be watched the way it suits the person best. because every time this question comes up, the people who asked the question only get more confused. Because everyone has a different answer.
