Here’s the ultimate guide of Fate series watch order!
Fate anime series is a bit tricky to watch as different people have different opinions on which way you can binge-watch it. In fact, there are like three routes and finding the best one matters.
Don’t you worry, we’ve got you covered and in this article, you’ll find the most reliable and best fate series watch order. Let’s get your mind cleared then!
Fate Series Watch Order!
1. Fate/Zero
You might have heard people say Fate/stay night is the first adaptation and it should be watched first to understand the story and here is what I’ll tell you.
It is a bad adaptation and you won’t be losing any story by skipping it. Everything that happened in Fate/stay night will be summed up in the prologue episode of Unlimited Blade Works. So, just start with Fate/Zero.
2. Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works
Unlimited Blade Works storyline sets ten years after Fate/Zero and you’ll be introduced to a few new characters along with some old ones. You’ll get a complete idea of the story of Fate/stay night in the prologue episode.
So, only watch Fate/Zero and then continue with Unlimited Blade Works and you won’t be missing anything at all. If you do it the other way around, you’re going to spoil yourselves.
3. Fate/stay night: Heaven’s Feel Movies I, II, and III
Basically, these three make you feel like it is set in an alternate dimension. The story is almost the same as Unlimited Blade Works initially, but later on, it covers a lot of aspects that you don’t get to see in the previous anime.
The history of the Holy Grail is explained perfectly and the animation is just Oh My God! In my opinion, watching movies after Fate/Zero and Unlimited Blade Works make it an actual story. So, these are a must-watch!
Optional/Bonus:
Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA ILLYA
Finally, we’re here for the side story adaptions, or you can call them spinoffs. Fate/kaleid liner PRISMA ILLYA is the adaption of the Fate Series that follows the girl Illya who transforms into a magical girl to fulfill a task of magic cards scattered all over the city.
You can watch this part at any time since it is a spinoff. But if you watch it after the completion of all parts because you’ll have a good grip on each character.
Apart from this, other spinoff series are following Fate Series like “Fate/Apocrypha” and “Fate/Extra Last Encore.” These spinoffs are not as good as the main parts of the Fate Series, but still, these are something you can watch if you’re greatly attached to the Fate Series.
And also, these adaptions have different studios in charge of animation, so you might feel some difference in them. Besides that, these are pretty good adaptions if you’re willing to kill some time. Even though it is a spinoff, it is still a part of the fate series watch order.
Conclusion!
Here it is, the best Fate anime series watch order you can follow before getting into it. There might be many other routes in Fate but trust me, there isn’t any better route than this.
I’ve watched all the adaptations from the franchise and this is the only route that can provide you with the best watching experience. So, we hope you’ll have a great time with this masterpiece!
