Fate Zero

What's Sup Forums opinion on the Fate series as a whole?
Also should I start with Fate Zero?
No spoilers please...

>Also should I start with Fate Zero?
No. What you should do is read the VN, but you're probably an illiterate burger so just watch UBW and then Zero afterwards.

...

>What's Sup Forums opinion on the Fate series as a whole?
Started good. Turned to real shit recently.

Past few years have been a decline

I can tell you objectively that the 2006 Fate Stay/Night (the only part of this franchise I've watched) is complete dog shite.

Consequently, I've not yet felt the urge to watch anything else from the franchise, despite there being 8 threads at a time on Sup Forums about it.

Thx for the replies anons I'm going to sleep
I think i will give it a shot and start with fate zero

lolutroll

>Watch shit adaptation notorious for being shit adaptation
>fuck rest of franchise

If a guy took a shit on your doorstep would you shake his hand next time you saw him because the shit was a one-off?

You need to at least watch Ufotable's UBW adaptation. It's probably the best Fate related adaptation I've seen.

mod pls

The rest of franchise is shit too though. Wish I could get that 80 or so hours of reading back.

fate is fun,
zero is shit
shiro is the red man.

This. Also people die if they are killed.

You cannot prove you actually read it.

watch zero intently
the rest you can watch while doing something else. it's more harem and people only love it cause they can self insert into the shitty protag that is shiro

It's not implausible he didn't read it.

Whether he paid attention is what's hard to prove.

>muh self-insert
Do people like you get bored of this eventually?

If everyone told me the shitter wasn't actually him but an alien in disguise, yeah.

Also Saber is King Arthur, Kerry used Excalibur's sheath to save Shirou's life after the fourth holy Grail war, and Sakura is Rin's younger sister.

Start with VN. Really try to do this. It's great.

If you really don't want to read the VN watch Zero. It's the best of the Fate franchise to the plurality.

Only UBW and Heavens feel movies (So far) are good and worth watching but are the 2nd and 3rd routes you should take.

2006 Deen of the 1st Fate route is meh but follows the story for the most part...i guess

The rest is shit.

In the same "universe" Kara no Kyoukai is spectacular. My personal favorite to the rest.

There is no tsukihime anime, but the VN is great.

I read the mirrormoon translations of fate and ubw when they came out, only hf was voiced by the time it was in english. By the time HA was out I had lost interest in the franchise. I don't know what it is with fatefags who can't accept anyone thinking it's bad.

you don't need to watch Zero intently, it is a prequel and the point is the summoning of the 4th holy grail war is a failure, Kiritsugu wins in combat but realizes that the grail has been corrupted (by the Einzberns summonning Aingra Manyuu in the third holy grail war) and uses a command spell to force Saber to destroy the grail. then there is a massive inferno (incidentally the timing of the fourth holy grail war and the layout of Fuyuki city is made to deliberately match Kobe and the 1994 earhtquake that destroyed most of that city)

Kiritsugu uses Excalibur's sheath, which he had used as a relic to summonn Arthur Pendragon, to save the life of a boy he finds in the flames, who is Shiro. Then Kiritsugu spends the rest of his life trying to rescue his daughter Illya from the Einzbern family, before dying of heartbreak.

>dying of heartbreak
He died of grail cancer. His heart was fixed the moment of his death thanks to Shirou.

This user has actually read the vn.

>naive principles
>never had to make a decision to sacrifice his selfish ideals/never made a hard decision in life
>can't face shit alone
sounds like someone suffering from social withdrawal
>but no, he's actually surrounded by beautiful waifus somehow
>had nothing to contribute most fight but still feel heroic
Yep, sounds like some people love to cling to that idea of not having to be ripped out of your comfort zone to get something in life.

Sorry user, I meant zero was the only show in this franchise that's worth watching. If OP is curious of the canon, I would recommend just reading a wiki page.

fair. i couldn't remember exactly why he died.

Fate/Zero is literally the only one worth watching

Carnival Phantasm is the only show in the franchise worth watching, except Prisma, but you need to read the visual novels to appreciate Carnival Phantasm and you need to watch Carnival Phantasm to appreciate Prisma.

Carnival Phantasm is the pinnacle of Fate. Fuck, CP2 can't get here soon enough.

Absolute garbage that can't even get its running time consistent, both seasons earned a 1/10 from me.

Why

Fuck you that's why

We love you too

zero was pretty badass, stay night was meh but enjoyable, apocrypha pure shite so far

The fate multiverse is retarded and way too expansive but I did enjoy fate zero and fate stay night UB.
It's way too convoluted tho. Add to the fact that people absolutely drool over this series I have to say I'm not a fan.

Anybody seen the Heavens Feel movie yet? Is it any good?

Understandably rushed but good

It was good

It was terrible.

>watching movies about wormsluts

Fate Stay Night is a good VN
The fate series is cancer.

b...but she's cute

fuck off

Watch Ryuki instead.
