No, this show is the first Fate thing I've watched. 

 

It's fine. A guide to the Fate Series -

 

The Fate series is essentially a Visual Novel video game, that has 3 routes, and there is an anime for all 3 routes -

 

1) Fate/Stay Night - This route focuses on Saber. The VN game for this route is good, but the anime is horrible (Old anime released in 2006 I think).

2) Fate/Unlimited Blade Works - This is the 2nd route focusing on Rin. IMO this is the best route. The anime is what you are watching now

3) Fate/Heaven's Feel - This route focuses on Sakura. I'm personally not a fan of this route. There are anime movies that cover it

 

In the game, what route you get depends on what in-game choices you make. In the animation world - there are animes covering each route separately

 

Fate/Zero is the prequel that came out later (Also on Netflix), but it does not have your preference.

 

There are other Fate animes which are essentially spin-offs, taking the concept of Masters and Servants, but set in an alternate time and not relevant to the main series. These include anime such as Fate/Apocrypha; Fate/Strange Fake; Fate/Carnival Phantasm etc.

 

Basically, Fate is an immensely popular series, that has spawned entire media including anime, manga, video games, mobile games, movies and all such. Everyone tries their own spin on the concept and tries to tell their own tale. But the 3 points I mentioned above - those 3 are the main Fate series, nothing else.

 

@North If you liked Fate/Zero, you should watch The Case Files of Lord El-Malloi II. I'm posting the Japanese and English Trailers

 

English Trailer:

This is the sequel to Fate/Zero, that focuses on Waver - The Master of Rider in Fate/Zero

 

Spoiler

Alexander/Iskandar - The King of Conquerors 

 

It's an awesome magic/action/detective show set 10 years after Fate/Zero Holy Grail War, and for once does not focus on Shiro, Kiritsugu or Saber. it's really good.

Thanks guys for the recommendations. Finished the final episode of Fate/UBW a few moments ago. I feel hollow lol. There were a lot of times where I was like "WTF is going on" but overall I quite enjoyed it. 

Spoiler

 

I was really rooting for Gilgamesh at the end but damn the fight was epic. Not a fan of Saber. The other servants were far more interesting like the lancer and the caster. Archer has such a cool design. And oof at Shinji...what a creep. 

 

I still don't understand a few things but that's probably cause I didn't watch the prequel. 

 

So Gigguk made a hilarious video about the series

Ideally one should be watching Fate/stay night, the Studio Deen adaptation before even going into Fate Zero, but thats pretty bad. 

 

 

Used to watch this on Animax lol. Was fun. But dropped it after 10 eps or so.

Lol no. VN is almost same a book (just with voices). It's pretty fun, considering you can mess around a lot. A lot of the endings are hilarious. It also has tons of puzzles and all such stuff sometimes so it's fun. Plus Visual Novels and Light Novels are the anime of the future. What anime you see now, that had a manga 2 years ago, and a Light Novel/Visual Novel 5-10 years ago. It's also pretty short if needed (Remember multiple animes are put in a visual novel). 

 

Also there are tons of LNs/VNs that have an absolute bonkers story that have not been adopted into manga/anime yet + those that are ruined by the anime.

 

Also, Stay Night is an awesome story. It's sad that they ruined the anime. Disagree on watching Zero first. UBW should be first, and Zero later - as it was meant to be. The entire Fate/Zero is essentially a giant easter egg to UBW. It also ruins parts of Fate that are fun. Agree that Heaven's Feel should be last.

 

Ideally the order should be

 

Stay Night (Skip it for bad anime)>UBW>Heaven's Feel>Zero>Case Files of Lord El Malloi II> All other spin-offs

This was my plan all along :giggle:

 

the show is very wholesome and funny, absolute top tier.

 

Haven't watched anime in a bit, but now that both seasons of Re:Zero is on Netflix, I'll watch that
