Gonna start watching Fate/Zero for the first time right nowWhat am i in for sisters?
watch ubw and the heaven feels movies before if you go anime only. The vn is better but its so long
>>283266513inb4 nasutards complaining
>>283266595>watch ubw and the heaven feels movieswhy tho, are they canonically in order before so that the anime follow the story?
>>283266848you need context about the world and characters. FZ is a prequel built around watching staynight first.
>>283266513some wholesome (non-yaoi) bromance
>>283266513Read the VN first. There's no good introductory anime adaptation of Fate route.
>>283266513don't listen to everybody, just watch fate zero, then ubw and heaven's feel movies by ufotable.
>>283267535>Fate routeWorst route, you arent missing much skipping it
It's a prequel that is very good on it's own terms, but fucks some minor things up for the thing it's a prequel to.Not even due to spoilers, although there are major ones, but due to a bunch of mischaracterization and pseudo intellectual wankery.It's urobuchi after all, but it's urobuchi at his best.It's still very entertaining though.Ignore the dipshits here making watch order suggestions. It really doesn't matter that much.I started with the DEEN FSN adaptation, then watched FZ and then read the VN and then watched ufotable's FSN adaptations as they came out and I still had a jolly good time with it.Just watch FZ if that is what piqued your interest.>>283266595the VN is not too long. I'd rather have someone watch only FZ and probably never read FSN, than having them watch one of the FSN adaptations and make up their minds based on that.>>283267616>skipping the fate routeretard
>>283266513The most generic by-the-numbers battle royale slop you have ever seen. This goes for everything Fate
>>283267029Very little is ruined by watching FZ first. Some say it spoils HF, but honestly, all it does is recontextualize the character's actions into a mystery as opposed to a surprise. I don't think it takes away the bigger impacts of certain scenes.
i took interest in this anime because of the alleged good fight scenes/animations
to ACTUALLY answer your question instead of debating on watch order.You're in for a death battle royal with some very interesting characters.You have cool secret mage societies, chuuni no-nonsense hitmen, esoteric magic stuff, lots of poetic suffering and pseudo intellectual wankery.and some of Kajiura's last great work before her music style went way to overboard with the orchestal bombasity.>>283267856the animation itself is really nothing special, but ufotables strong suite is digital post processing. It looks and feels very modern and high production value.
>>283266513The greatest COOL you've ever seen!
>>283267920based
Just always keep in mind that Kotomine is based and his daughter and dead wife are best girlsKerry and Tokiomi are both critically retardedKariya is an even bigger retard and a cuckSaber isn't actually a moralfag
>>283266513Please play the visual novel first. If you end up liking the series you are doing yourself a great disservice by not experiencing the plot twists in the manner they were meant to be experienced. You will never forget about fate if you like it.Deen anime of fate is badUfotable ubw is amazing but missing shirou internal monologue and the story is less good without fate route as a backdropHeavans feel can stand on its own but the progression of fate->ubw->feel is importantFate zero spoils so much in a manner you won't care about it but after having a full understanding it is amazing to see
Just watch it mate
>>283266513Depends on how much familiarity you have with Fate. I really wouldn't go in blind to it.
>skip the Fate Routelol this fucking board
>>283266513Here is the real deal:- Fate and Ubw are fake routes but they deliver their purpose to deceive the viewer.- Zero and Heaven's Feel make the canon story, but you should never watch them first because they reveal all secrets and solve all hanging plots.So, watching order: - Fate(Deen series), or a summary if you can't stand the quality.- Ubw series (Ufotable), discard the Deen movie.- Fate Zero series (Ufotable).- Heaven's Feel movies.
