Why is the Fate watch order so stupid?
>first watch the 2006 anime but actually don’t because it sucks.
>next watch the 2014 anime
>then watch the 2017-2020 movie trilogy.
>THEN watch the 2011 anime which is the only good part of this franchise supposedly.
>but if you watch one before the other you will spoil yourself, but if you watch the other one you will also spoil the other one.
>BUT ACTUALLY you should read the VN first.
Can I just watch fate/zero and if I like it watch the other ones?
The heck were they thinking
FATE
Just read the VN, faggot.
It's not that hard.
>Watch
Literally no one recommends watching it in any order. Just read the VN faggot, no one has the time or effort to explain that mess. Blame the anime studios for making it such a mess to get into.
You read the fate stay night vn
You read the fate hollow ataraxia vn
You read the fate zero light novel (or just watch it if you hate light novels)
Its that simple
Also anyone who complains about fate zero being "spoiled" by stay night is retarded, its a prequel made after the original thing, of course you're already going to know what happens and how it ends, literally every other prequel ever made also gets "spoiled" by the original
Just watch Apocrypha and forget about the rest, it's not worth it.
>Can I just watch fate/zero and if I like it watch the other ones?
No, because you won't like the other ones. Zero is the only good part of this shitty franchise.
I watched the F/GO adaptations first. Then UBW, HF, Zero, and Apocrypha. I should probably have stopped at Zero.
>Can I just watch fate/zero and if I like it watch the other ones?
Yes user, you can. Just watch Fate/Zero. If you think it was just decent but not super duper amazing, stop there and don't bother with the rest. If you like it sooooooooooooo much and want to see what happens in the next Holy Grail War, watch Stay Night. Which one? Well, I'd say start with 06 and a few months later you can watch the alternative routes, the 14 one and the movie trilogy. But if you don't have that much time and only want to watch one sequel, watch the 14 anime.
Also, fuck off VNfags. Nobody is gonna waste dozens of hours playing a crappy book game for this shitty franchise.

read the vn
Watch Fate/Zero if you want. And if you like it, watch the first couple episodes of UBW and then move on to HF. HF is the only route that's a proper continuation of the characters, themes and story that you'll see in Zero.
Watch Zero, disregard rest.
Based
Fate Zero was made with the assumption you've played the VN
Fate Stay Night UBW was made with the assumption you've seen F/Z
There's literally no way to get the full story from the anime only. Even the shitty 2006 anime doesn't adapt the Fate route correctly.
Either read the VN or pass on the franchise
i don't care what you do faggot
but newfags just start with zero anime because it's the one most accessible for their midwit brain though it being a prequel to the main event compromises you not experiencing stay/night
novel is a slog to read and not all that good, so just stick to fgo
Start by watching 2006, doesn't matter if it's shit because at least then you'll understand what's going on. Then watch Zero.
>next watch the 2014 anime
>tfw UBW anime is 8 years old already
>Muh VN
This is the Anime & Manga board, you primaries are just tolerated here. Tread carefully
Read the VN
Watch F/Z
Watch F/SN: UBW
HF is ok if you like flashy action scenes but it fucks up all the important shit.
>Fate Stay Night UBW was made with the assumption you've seen F/Z
You can still watch it on it's own, it just throws in a few visual nods to F/Z. There's no reason to be a bitch about this.
Then dont get into it at all. The VN is unironically the only start point and if you dont want to play a VN then you should give up.
