I watched in order of relelase. So SN then Zero. Doesn't really matter, as long as you avoid the Deen

I watched zero first but if you do that it'll ruin finding out some of the motivations and story in SN

You should start with Google.

watch by order of release, including Deen, only thing you dont need is the UBW movie.

I recommend Deen version because its basically the Fate route with some changes to help understand better the origin of other characters which would be only possible on their respective routes.

Fate/Zero will spoil you to some plot points of the fate / stay night, deen version or ufotable UBW.

Until now the weakest one is the new series, Apocrypha, so everything else is actually good

The UBW anime was made as a sequel to the Zero anime. Zero is the best choice if you don't want to deal with shitty VNs.

>The UBW anime was made as a sequel to the Zero anime.
Citation needed

1. Fate/Stay Night (Studio Deen)

2. Fate/Zero (ufotable)

3. Fate/Stay Night UBW (also ufotable)

Then you can watch the spin-off stuff or wait for the Heaven's Feel movies.

This is the best order. Alternatively instead of the Deen anime, you could play the first route of the VN. But I don't think it's that bad myself

Nah he should start with Sup Forums which is a discussion board for anime you stupid fuck.

>Let's ask a question that's been answered a billion times in this board and elsewhere.

Yeah, no.

I guess he's referring to the Fate/zero easter eggs they put in that weren't in the VN like Illya's hair birds and ghost Iri.

depends if you want to be a filthy secondary without the chance of ever having a valid opinion on anything or just a regular secondary who spoils hinself the enjoyment of reading a porn game that accidentally turned out an actual masterpiece.
seriously, disregard any opinion that tells you to watching F/Z first and/or that is good.
and read the VN

I hate this kind threads.

start with Prisma Illya and continue with masturbating to lewd lolis

Damn, that new arkada video have such a negative feedback

You're too late with that bait.

Nowadays you're supposed to start a Fate bait thread with "Grand Order is the best thing to come out of this franchise, and it has Nasu's best writing and best protagonist of all time."

Fate Zero:Intellectual masterpiece

Fate Stay Night:Porn visual novel for brainlets who can't appreciate well written literature

Start with VN.

Just skip all the stuff that Nasu himself actually wrote. He came up with a good premise with the Grail War, but he's a terrible writer and his execution is consistently awful. All of the spinoffs and prequels and whatnot are better.

You should fuck off back to Plebbit. We already have enough of these threads.

Start with FSN VN, just ignore every single zerofag who tell you to watch zero first. They don't have nothing better than shitposting. You'll understand how the universe work if you read the VN first so you won't be confused when you watch zero since zero practically gives "zero" explanation, no world building at all.

Start with stay night. Even though it comes after Zero in the timeline, it was produced first, so Zero has some spoilers on SN, despite being the prequel

>fsn fags are so stupid they can't figure out the grail war works from zero
That's some serious retardation

you will never understand that HGW is just a ruse by the 3 families.
You will never know who is the "schweinorg" tokiomi mentioned during Gilgamesh's summoning.
You won't really understand about reality marble.
You won't understand AT ALL how magic works.
You won't even know that magus, magic user, wizard, etc are different.
And many more i can still go on.
Basically i mean that you zerofag idiots will only know about the outer layer of the true meaning of holy grail war and how the universe works.

Literally none of that is relevant to or confusing within the well written parts of the universe.

Best advice if you're too pleb to enjoy the VN.

>You will never know who is the "schweinorg" tokiomi mentioned during Gilgamesh's summoning.
I don't know what this is.

See this op that's why you can never take zero babbies seriously. Better to ignore them, i'm being serious.

>muh autistic poorly written lore tho!

>People unironically recommending deen f/sn in 2017

Zelretch

fate zero enjoy yourself

Zero has a fucking 1hour long episode at the start that is a pure info dump.

Damn
I'm watching Fate/Zero right now. I checked MAL and it said that Fate/Zero didn't have any prequels and that Fate/SN is a prequel to Zero 2. I didn't look at the release dates and thought that MAL lists them in release order.

I'm exactly half way trough Zero. Should I continue watching in chronological order or switch to SN now?

Read the FSN VN. Watch FZ. Read Tsukihime, FHA and KT, play Melty Blood. Watch Carnival Phantasm. Avoid the rest of the TM like the cancer it is.

There is literally no reason to watch DEEN F/SN
play the fucking VN, nasu's autism is too much for any anime to explain anyways

yes, VN is way superior to the anime, nonetheless, the anime is nice as a entry point into the series

>halfway
Too late, you fucked up.
Just finish it, congratulation though for becoming a secondary.

Read the fucking VN

It's so shit it might turn you off from experiencing fate in general

Haha you're stupid. Youre supposed to watch ALL the SNs first ( the VN if possible). Then you can watch Zero. Zero spoils the hell out of many elements of SN- especially HF.

Follow this order:

Start with watching Fate/Zero, read the Fate/stay night visual novel, watch ufotable's adaptation of Unlimited Blade Works, wait for the Heaven's Feel movies.

Watching Fate/Zero is the best place to start since while it's a prequel made for those who read the original visual novel, it takes steps to make the anime accessible for those new to Fate and the Nasuverse, so you can jump right in.

Contrary to what Sup Forums says, it won't ruin the experience of the Visual Novel for you. In fact, watching Fate/Zero first will give you a greater appreciation of the VN and more of an incentive to read it since most anime fans do have a hard time getting into VNs.

Fate/Zero is a fucking masterpiece too. So yes, watch it.

>start watching f/z
nigger do you even realize how little of the HGW mechanics is explained (no, the einzbern consultation room OVAs don't count) in F/Z?

>Fate/Zero is a fucking masterpiece too
It's pointless to argue with that retard, just give up

>battle royale between mages who summon old heroes from legends
>these heroes have a special power that is called noble phantasm
>the summoner gets 3 command seals on his hand that he can issue special orders with

There. Done.

And? There are so many more

Visual novel isn't on steam.
Is youtube walktrough sufficient?

Maybe you should do everyone a favor and not bother with the series.

No one except for massive autists give a shit. Not knowing about everything won't ruin your enjoyment of the series. Knowing all the background bullshit is just a nice bonus but it's far from necessary.

...

Zero gives you the basic idea of how the Holy Grail War works to the point that you're not lost. If it went too much into the minutiae of all the details, it wouldn't have made a good TV show.

Like I said, it creates incentive to read the Visual Novel AFTER watching Fate/Zero. Nobody wants to jump into Fate by reading the VN. If you get them to start with Zero, it creates the incentive for them to read the VN. What part of this do you not understand?

>Nobody wants to jump into Fate by reading the VN

There's no need to argue when it's true that Fate/Zero is a masterpiece.

Pirate it you baka.

>bonus point
Holy shit i can't believe this, it is NECESSARY because it's relevant to the plot idiot.
>nobody
user, please.

Read the VN

Well, considering how long the VN is
no

Around a hundred hours for all 3 routes and dead ends

Sup Forums BTFO by reddit yet again

>it is NECESSARY because it's relevant to the plot idiot.
Not really.

>zerofags are redittors
Not surprising

Watch Zero
Avoid everything else

If you're talking about the anime, then go Zero and then UBW. Alternatively, just watch Zero, avoid UBW, and then wait for HF. Fucking Miura wouldn't let Nasu rewrite UBW so that it could stand on its own and not be an anemic and dragged out mess.

What about SN anime?

Abandon thread, Fai is here.

Who?

This

The DEEN anime mixes stuff in from all the routes ( although it's mostly Fate), but it doesn't do a good job of interconnecting it like the VN does. Also, T-M doesn't seem to acknowledge it anymore, so don't bother.

Shh
We don't talk about that route or DEEN

Zerobabbies would never understand F/SN on more than a surface level. Instead they cling to the idea that because the protagonist is older and using guns somehow makes it more mature.
They fail to realize, just like Kiritsugu himself, how much of a manchild he was and how Zero is nothing more than an Urobutcher edgefes meant for fedora hipsters, with the only good part in the novels are from Nasu himself.

>with the only good part in the novels are from Nasu himself.
The Holy Grail War?

I watched Deen F/SN first and the UBW movie, then F/Z, then i read parts of the F/SN VN, and then I watched Illya series, F/GO movie and now F/A.

Arguing about where to start is retarded. Reading VNs is not for everyone and the F/SN VN is pretty shit even if it has some good moments.
I went in to the Nasuverse knowing nothing about Fate and I had no idea that Saber was Arthuria until she used her noble phantasm in Deens F/SN, I think that's why I liked it so much, I wasn't spoiled on everything and I didn't know all the mechanics and rules.

You should read the VN first.
That said if you're not going to then watch ufotable's fsn adaptation and wait for heavens feel to come out before watching fate zero

You watch Zero first so that you can get the references in Stay Night

>watch ufotable's fsn adaptation and wait for heavens feel to come out before watching fate zero
>You watch Zero first

stay night suck watch zero and don't bother with the others

Watch Fate/Zero first because is the only good part of this franchise.

F/A has better girls

It honestly doesn't matter

F/SN has better boys.

Stay Night then Zero

READ THE FUCKING VN

Yeah, this

The VN is awful.

Not everyone wants to download random .exes on their pc

Neither. Just watch Fate/Illya

Is that supposed to be evidence in support of your opinion.

The story and setting is good but the writing is deviantart fanfic-tier.

Sorry but Fate/Zero sucks:
>too many characters
>lack of development
>poor pacing
>only the most boring ones live

pic related: best hero

It's a Japanese erotic VN, not Herman Melville.

His charge against Gil is one of the best moments in the entire Fate franchise. Truly a king worthy of admiration.

>Alexander The Great using a chariot
They can't even get their history right!

>king arthur as a girl

I watched the original Stay Night, the UBW movie (skip), Zero, then the UBW series. All my friends saw Zero before UBW and haven't seen the original. They all agreed that watching Zero first made UBW better, but I thought SN and UBW made Zero better

>Gilgamesh as a blonde-haired metrosexual

>sigfried of germania is a shitty joke character

>muh beard
Fuck off.

How fucking lowtest do you have to be in order to get triggered by a beard? Are you the blonde metrosexual that user was talking about?

>Sasaki Kojirō never actually existed in the Fate Universe and is just a legend
>King Arthur is not only a real person in the Fate Universe but a woman too
