I want to get into this series but have no idea how. There's quite a few anime adaptations, as well as VNs and manga. I'd prefer to watch the anime, but if I'm missing out on major plot details, perhaps the VN is the better option. Also, are the anime productions in chronological order? Can I watch them back to back and not be confused?
nice Mega.nz DDL mirror with the English patch added already.
FSN VN -> F/Z Light Novel or Anime OR Fate Hollow Ataraxia VN -> The other one from 2 that you didn't read/watch/play. After that, whatever look interesting
Alexander Roberts
You've got it all wrong pal. First you have to watch the Tsukihime anime. After that the Ilya spin offs and lastly Carnival Phantasm. Only then you'll be prepared for F/SN.
Nolan Morris
But the earlier works sounds terrible, and that info pic makes it sounds like things only got great with Zero.
Asher Wood
AGREED!
Eli Flores
bait
Camden Parker
Watch Fate/Zero. It'll spoil the hell out of the FSN VN, but that, and the rest of the franchise, is unadulterated garbage that's not worth your time anyway.
Camden Morales
If you want to watch some enjoyable action anime with magic use and great fights, Fate/Zero and Fate/Stay UBW are a good place to start, Fate/zero comes before UBW but you could watch UBW then Zero since zero just fills in some extra details and character development.
IF you like lolis that fight and SOL and some ecchi, Fate/Kaleid has got you covered, 4 Seasons of it in fact.
Fate/Go is shit but if you are thirsty for some more fate its still in the same universe.
Julian Garcia
Ideally the VN but only if you have an interest in reading, enjoy history and the occult and have weapons autism. Most people try to rush the VN but that just kills the pacing and makes the story slow for yourself all throughout. You have to keep in mind that you're going to invest a bit of time in it since it's pretty long. I've read a number of type moon works but with the exception of Tsukihime, none compare to the atmosphere the VN has as pretentious as that sounds.
Parker Foster
The game is long but it's long for the wrong reason and is in need of trimming
The anime has a bigger problem and feels hollow in comparison. I don't know why they thought it is a good idea to make one but I guess it prints money
Mason Baker
Why is Saber so popular? I get all the pure and honorable waifu stuff, but the sheer amount of Saber clones is astonishing.
Cooper Campbell
Read F/SN then HA then watch Fate/Zero. Then you can read F/GO. (First few orders are mediocre, especially Septem but it starts to pick up in America)
If you want more Fate then read Extra, CCC, Extella, Strange Fake, Apocrypha, Prisma Illya, and watch Carnival Phantasm.
Logan Ortiz
Takeuchi's Reality Marble.
Luke Edwards
Wait for the Heaven's Feel movies, that's the best route anyway.
Nicholas Phillips
Why do people hate F/SN? Go to any 3x3 thread and there are way more anons giving -'s to "Fateshit" than actually mediocre shows like SnK, FotM SoL, etc What the fuck?
Samuel Thomas
Then lurk forever and stop making shitty threads.
Jonathan Bell
This is your last warning Sup Forums. You have 48 hours to deliver the heavens feel preview or you face the consequences
Andrew Clark
Angra dindu nuffin, he was a good boy!
Isaiah Ramirez
It's popular.
Xavier Cooper
It's mediocre and putting it on your 3x3 means you're a newfag? Hell putting it on your VN 3x3 means you're a newfag
Caleb Wright
its fun and putting it in your 3x3 means nothing putting a VN in your 3x3 means nothing as well fucking lurk moar
Adrian Bailey
You sound like some highschooler trying to fit in.
Julian Powell
I was on Sup Forums when you were in grade school fag. I said "VN 3x3" which is a 3x3 some dipshits create for VNs. People don't put F/SN on their 3x3 because they think it's fun. They put it on there because they think it's epic or some shit
Jacob Jackson
I can't believe you participate in 3x3 threads and think you get to look down on anyone.
Jayden Reyes
see
Jackson Peterson
Never said I did. You and the other fag in this thread are the ones making all the assumptions. I've browse them and make fun of the people who have anime like fate in their 3x3s though
Angel Hill
3x3 threads are newfags hives.
Lucas Roberts
I had the same question a few months ago. Eventually I went like this: Fate/Zero -> F/SN UBW (TV) Don't think you need anything else unless you want to get into VNs and see alternative routes. There were a couple of things that I didn't understand but nice people on the internet were kind enough to give me a quick tl;dr on them.
Elijah Garcia
Congratulation for ruining it for yourself, lazy fuck.
Caleb Rivera
This
Landon King
Ruining? How?
Jaxon Scott
>nice people on the internet were kind who did you talk to? because it certainly wasn't the pathetic faggots like on Sup Forums
Adam Nguyen
There is no tsukihime anime wtf?
Jace Miller
Fate Majikoi etc. Zerofags being retarded, as usual.
Evan Ramirez
I actually can't think of a VN adaptation that was better than the VN, maybe Clannad AF.
Ethan Johnson
>Clannad AF You have to be joking. They didn't even explain dragonballs in the anime. It was just "welp, she's back and everyone lives happily ever after"
Blake Parker
I would suggest watching fate stay night UBW prologue first and then decide how much you are going to invest in the series: -It shit but looks good -> watch fate zero -Its quite interesting but nothing ground breaking-> watch UBW then zero -Its awesome and im fine with reading everything about it -> read VN, then everything else
Liam Parker
So if Ryuunoske was given Caster by the Grail out of random, why didnt like, Issei or some other random High School Student get Assassin? It took like 5-7 days for somebody to summon Assassin too.
Grayson Stewart
Not on Sup Forums that's for sure. I mean, there are some decent people lurk here but 99% of the time it's not even worth it to ask serious and not retarded questions here.
Blake Carter
Read the VN you secondary
Carson Diaz
ryuunoske attempted a summoning - he just didnt have a catalyst
Christian Morris
Ryuunoske was doing a summoning ritual with the people he was killing. He happened to be the right crazy person at the right place.
Owen Rogers
OP TAKE MY ADVICE DON'T READ FATE/STAY NIGHT VN! IT IS BORING MELODRAMTIC AND RETARDED WITH THE MAIN CHARACTERS BEING WEAK PIECES OF SHIT AND NEVER IMPROVING OR LEARNING ANYTHING ABOUT THE STORY. INSTEAD WATCH FATE/ZERO, IT'S A MILLION TIMES BETTER WITH RELATABLE CHARACTERS AND A BETTER PLOT.
Higurashi
Asher Peterson
>RELATABLE CHARACTERS Like who?
Alexander Jackson
Bluebeard
Alexander Watson
He's kidding.
Jonathan Cooper
I guess... Unless he finds characters like >Bluebeard relatable
Carson Green
Just finished HA.
So what would Kotomine have thought of Avenger if he had been present there? Would it have answered his question?
