Ok, I am moderately retarded due to an injury sustained as a young child, so please help me out:

Fate/Zero is fine standalone and is the best part of the franchise due to being written by a far more skilled writer. If you want to watch more than just Zero, watch UBW first, than Heaven's Feel, then Zero. Carnival Phantasm is fun to watch after UBW and HF if you want some laughs. Don't waste eighty hours of your life on a visual "novel".

>Don't waste eighty hours of your life on a visual "novel".
Jesus Christ. The absolute state of this shitty board

>urobuchi
>skilled writer
LMAO
Urobuchi is talentless hack that can't write to save his life.

im a coomer.
which series will serve me best?

Prisma Illya

These people will try to convince you that spending eighty hours plowing through a chuuni VN is a worthwhile use of your time. They are wrong. Spend a fraction of that time watching the shows and then go read some real books instead.

Based.

Why are there faggots who keep asking when there's a post like this every week. Are you all that new?

>shitty one note characters
>a plot that only happens thanks to the character stupidity
>pretentious and boring
>only good fate

I am sorry user but your edgy self insert kiritsugu (just like the rest of the cast) is a garbage character.

Read fate strange fake. It's fate zero done right.

Read the VN, then watch Zero, then watch the Heaven's Feel movies if you want to see the fights animated with high budget sometimes to the point of absurdity in how flashy they are portrayed compared to the VN

Watch Prisma Illya, then from there play Fate/Extra CCC and don't stop until you get 100% on it, then start the visual novel but work you way backwards from Heavens Feel to Fate, stop half way through HF and shitpost about it on Zig Forums, then watch Fate/Zero while watch the 2006 DEEN F/SN anime on another screen AT THE SAME TIME, after that you may play Melty Blood Actress Again: Current Code and become the number one ranked fighter with SHIKI (there aren't that many players it won't take long), then FROM THERE DON'T finish the rest of Heaven's Feel but instead delete your save data, play the prologue three more times just to make sure you understand the Holy Grail War and it's rules, then watch the Unlimited Blade Works movie, then watch the Unlimited Blade Works anime, then watch Fate/Apocrypha on 3x times speed while you start reading the Fate route, then mid way through THAT stop and complain how boring and shitty it is on Zig Forums, then after that jump back to Heaven's Feel because "it's the only good one", then watch Carnival Phantasm and read TAKE MOON and that should just about cover it. Make sure you follow this order exactly otherwise you'll be deprived of the true F/SN experience Nasu intended. Have fun!

No one else is going to say it so I guess I have to. It's because it's the simplest and shallowest so it's easy for brainlets and secondaries to understand without getting pissed off and screech endlessly about 'plot armor' 'asspulls' etc etc because they didn't get something as they usually do with the other works which require you actually pay attention to get everything. It's grimdark and 'mature' tone also helps cynics feel like they're watching something far removed from the usual tripe and that their taste is unique compared to everyone when in fact it's actually not actually all that mature or dark at all beyond a few moments that were crammed in for shock value and because 'muh tragedy' when very little of it actually added to the story at all. But they'll think otherwise because bad things happening to people = depth. The MC is a stoic, misunderstood, self-loathing jaded badass who is the only who sees the world for the mess it is, wears a trenchcoat, smokes constantly, has two insanely hot bitches on his dick and uses matrix and gun magic who's secretly a crying manchild who just wants to be held and understood and get away from all the injustices in the world. Which, of course, attracts a lot of the folks on here. Fate/Zero isn't bad by any means, don't get me wrong. I enjoy it but looking at it objectively after a few years of sucking its dick back when I was an angry, aimless teen really opened my eyes to the reality it's no masterpiece. Not by a long shot.

play tsukihime then drop the series

This. Nasu peaked almost 2 decades ago

FGO is the only one that matters now

>fsn --> fha --> whatever the fuck you want next
>AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA IT'S SO CONFUSING WHAT THE FUCK WHERE SHOULD I START AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

It IS confusing for them user! That's why I created an easy guide for them to follow to get started on their Fate/Stay Night journey!

>All these horrible answers
OP, watch Fate/Zero and Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works

Fate/Zero is a prequel so it doesn't matter which order you watch these two but people usually go with the zero since it was released first.

Any other Fate related garbage is irrelevant and any other answer is wrong.

The order is Stay Night (either VN or watch Ufotable's UBW and Heaven's Feel movies) then Zero
everything else is optional and should come after the Zero and Stay Night, Hollow Ataraxia is good though so I highly recommend it
Fate/Zero is a prequel that was written to be read/watched AFTER going through Stay Night
You're ruining the experiences for both series if you do them out of order, you're supposed to go into Zero having an idea of what is to come so that the struggles of the characters are framed more meaningfully and likewise, with Stay Night you are supposed to learn elements of the plot throughout the story naturally instead of already knowing them from Zero
You're a secondary, faggot, and retard, and you should really stop trying to ruin others' experiences with a franchise just because you ruined it for yourself
