Watch Ufotable's version of Unlimited Blade Works.It was adapted into a 2-cour anime by Ufotable in Fall 2011 and Spring 2012.īelow, I discuss some possible scenarios for consuming F/sn and F/Z.It was pretty good, but if you want to read it, I recommend that you do so after watching the Fate/Zero anime. It had a manga adaptation (started in 2011 ongoing).Fate/Zero has no concept of routes, so all media of Fate/Zero cover the same material, more or less. It was originally a light novel series (2007).There is also a manga series that (I believe) adapts the Fate route, but I'm going to ignore it, because it's generally thought to not be that great.įate/Zero is a prequel to Fate/stay night.
At some point in the future, Ufotable will release a movie or series of movies that will adapt Heaven's Feel.Fall 2014 and Spring 2015 saw another adaptation of Fate/stay night, this time by Ufotable, which adapts the Unlimited Blade Works route.The 2010 movie by DEEN adapted a highly condensed form of the the Unlimited Blade Works route.The 2006 anime by DEEN mostly adapted the Fate route.Fate/stay night was originally a 2004 visual novel that had three routes - Fate, Unlimited Blade Works, and Heaven's Feel (in that order).Whatever you do, consuming these two works in some form is the first thing you should do. It is generally agreed that Fate/stay night and Fate/Zero are the two core works of the Fate series. (Optionally, watch the Ufotable versions of Unlimited Blade Works and Heaven's Feel).Then, watch the Fate/Zero anime ( first half, second half).Wait for Ufotable's version of Heaven's Feel.Watch Ufotable's version of Unlimited Blade Works ( prologue, first half, second half).There are conflicting opinions on this, and I'll try to outline the major options available in this answer. If you ask five people this question, you'll get six answers.
