Do I start with Fate/Zero or Fate/Stay Night UBW?
Added 2023-03-26 22:16:52 +0000 UTCYou have about 15 hours to decide which one I go with first...
Btw I prefer psychological thrillers/mystery and I hear that watching Zero first is best for that route but it will spoil the end of UBW where watching UBW spoils the mystery of Zero. I'm not sure if that is accurate. Also will the first episode of either series on Crunchyroll help me to understand the world better?

I hope he watches the 3 routes in order

2023-03-28 01:50:42 +0000 UTCIt's way to old to get good views on youtube, i promise you that and it wont do on patreon good either because of its popularity in comparison to the adaptations from ufotable. I mean, it's Joe's decision, but I wouldn't get my hopes up if I were you.

2023-03-27 13:47:54 +0000 UTCzero will probaly win but if you start zeroand you don't understant anythink or you feel you be spoil of a lot of stuff ( that is very likely) the best think to do is to stop and restart with ubw or to ask people to spoil you ubw of courses that just my advice do what you want

2023-03-27 10:22:08 +0000 UTCnobody say other wise i just don't understant why people vote for zero
azope
2023-03-27 10:11:11 +0000 UTCfate 2006 is good i seen no reason to skip it
azope
2023-03-27 10:10:23 +0000 UTCI'd go with UBW since it's a lot easier to digest. Zero is dialogue heavy which isn't a bad thing but when introducing something I'd go with something more palatable. Action for UBW or character conflicts Zero.

2023-03-27 07:11:53 +0000 UTCtbh no reactor i have seen watched the 2006 anime because of obvious reasons and i dont think Joe will do that either...
CliffPL
2023-03-27 06:46:49 +0000 UTCNah dude you just dont get what i mean and thats fine for me just do me the favour and stop trying to discuss that out over here...
CliffPL
2023-03-27 06:43:57 +0000 UTCBeen a while since I've seen a poll on here that's so contentious... really gives perspective to the "umm ackshually" meme 🤣
statixFEAR
2023-03-27 05:37:21 +0000 UTCim not gonna vote on this and ruin other peoples choices simply because im not a fate fan, good luck to whatever you guys are voting for!!!

2023-03-27 04:53:52 +0000 UTCI hope you just follow the poll results. Don't listen to all these watch order purists. Even if spoilers are possible in any rout taken you will have no context for them.

2023-03-27 01:52:41 +0000 UTCI think people that advice to start with zero think zero is a mystery and whatthe other road will spoil you BUT it just not true the thing they think is a mistery it just think the zero story think you ALREADY know the first episode don't explaint what is the holly graill BECAUSE when you start zero you should already knowall thing people think it mystery is just think that you should know when you start it like artificialy transform a normal anime into a mystery by skip a bunch of episode
azope
2023-03-27 00:21:09 +0000 UTCif you end by zero you would not spoil because zero is writing not as a mystery ( like the people that advert for it ) but a conclution zero is a prequel when you start it it normal to know a lot of think fate stay night road in the is think to be a mystery and should not have big info know beford it
azope
2023-03-27 00:11:02 +0000 UTCyes coherant if you ask a lot of question to understant what hapen in zero
azope
2023-03-27 00:08:25 +0000 UTCI don't realy understant people that advice for start with zero ( i think they cinical and like to sploil the plreasure of other ) ; anyway after you watch zero you don't need to watch the 2006 anime because the major plot the core of saber road is totaly sploil and hf main girl secret is sploit too ( for all road )
azope
2023-03-27 00:06:01 +0000 UTClol zero give no info and spoil the all other road because it made thinking you know the other road
azope
2023-03-27 00:01:52 +0000 UTCwhat you call better understanting of character have a other name it call spoil major plot point
azope
2023-03-27 00:00:23 +0000 UTCit spoil all a lot of plot point of saber road that mean after you watch it you cannot watch the first serie that is good even if other persone say others wise and it totaly change how sakura look like in a normal watching order she look like a backgroud character so the revelation in hf have impact
azope
2023-03-26 23:58:44 +0000 UTCor he could start by fate stay night 2006 or ubw that is way better start when you need to ask people to understant basic plot point of a story it likely you don't start the right place
azope
2023-03-26 23:55:43 +0000 UTCZero actually got some major spoiler for HF, but I guess most of the fate fans cannot aoivd this spoiler unless they play the source game.
bobo
2023-03-26 23:49:41 +0000 UTCEither way he will be spoiled tf out, since both spoil the other on base level one way or another
Skebaba
2023-03-26 23:45:48 +0000 UTCFate zero first to get a lot of context and i feel it's the better starting point since it's the prequel.
TheMonarch
2023-03-26 22:50:09 +0000 UTCI mean its hard to have a discussion about it over here anyway but if you feel better i censored the name good enough i think now.... Well anyway i also just want him to enjoy the series and i dont think there is any better watch order than Zero -> UBW -> HF so yeah... Also i think to better understand the behaviour and character development of our main character he needs to have watched the other two before to get a full picture.
CliffPL
2023-03-26 22:44:00 +0000 UTCI'm very deliberately trying to be vague. I don't want to spoil anything for Joe here, including what characters have details revealed about them. I can't spoiler tag this, so I can't say more but maybe edit your reply some
gg78cc
2023-03-26 22:36:12 +0000 UTCYeah Heaven's Feel is peak and should be last 💪
CliffPL
2023-03-26 22:35:52 +0000 UTCI like watching/reading stories chronologically so I prefer starting with Zero. But Zero is a prequel to Stay Night so it's intended to be watched after any Stay Night routes.
Mikhail
2023-03-26 22:35:43 +0000 UTCas i said "character reaveals and plot details" but no way the end or the major plot differences between each stay night route, litteraly the only thing i remember from the top of my head is that you get spoilerd why s***** is the way she is... also Zero got a WAY better first episode introduction for the whole "holy grail war" stuff and how it works
CliffPL
2023-03-26 22:34:18 +0000 UTCI'm also kinda confused how Zero can spoil the end of UBW.
Mikhail
2023-03-26 22:31:16 +0000 UTCFor your tastes, probably Zero. Ultimately, it doesn't matter as long as you don't start with Heaven's Feel.
Montanso
2023-03-26 22:29:44 +0000 UTCIt spoils Heavens Feel pretty massively, which is why I don't like zero first. HF is like the fate crown jewel, why spoil it
gg78cc
2023-03-26 22:29:34 +0000 UTC"watching Zero first is best for that route but it will spoil the end of UBW" i dont know where you heard that from but except some character reveals or plot details there is no way that Zero spoilers the end of ANY Stay night route.... like i cant imagine how, it should be actually the reverse...
CliffPL
2023-03-26 22:27:31 +0000 UTCSince your watching this adaptation go with their order zero then ubw. I guess just keep in mind technically you would be seeing zero last if it was the source material.
Ryan H
2023-03-26 22:26:19 +0000 UTC^ first comment is right about “intended read order” but I still as anime only think Zero before UBW is the more enjoyable watch order. Tbh your gonna spoil the other show a lil no matter what you decide to watch first so it’s best to just pick whichever looks better to you. The fate watch order debate been going on for years and won’t end anytime soon
Cedric Worthy
2023-03-26 22:26:07 +0000 UTCIt ultimately doesn't matter which you start with, it'll be coherent either way. I started with Zero just because it takes place first chronologically.
Cody Maverick
2023-03-26 22:21:23 +0000 UTCyou will be confused at first about the story but the characters will explain whats going on and its a mystery somewhat cuz things will be revealed and so forth, if you are truly confused just ask and well explain what happened.
Diego
2023-03-26 22:21:20 +0000 UTCBoth mid.
Coping McCoperson
2023-03-26 22:21:19 +0000 UTCFsN UBW. it's the closest anime only way to simulate the intended read order of the FSN visual novel and FATE Zero light novel. The Alternative is like watching the phantom menace before og starwars
