29:15 "there's no pictures" Bro, you don't know how type moon novels look like They are literally anime-level books with many different backgrounds, characters sprites, even cut scenes and a godly osts
@@NappyRiqX yeah vizual novels are best way to experience the story becouse anime skipped a lot of funny scenes and character development only anime series worth watching are prisma illya and cooking other than that most just cut out novel I know that culturally cute outfits on kids arent much fun for western viewers but in japan its like middle age clothing on modern person just for fun and making fun how it looks as an inside joke but prisma illya still manages to deep dive into magic and world a lot plus it introduces characters that make sense and shows characters from newer fate series
Some of these openings are from different adaptations of a Visual Novel (VN - something like a choose your own adventure book with limited animation, sound, music, and often voice acting) called Fate/Stay Night. Only this story is called "Fate/Stay Night", the rest are other titles of the "Fate" franchise. The following parts you should already know having watched the Unlimited Bladeworks series. The main character of Stay Night is the red haired guy in the regular clothes. The VN has three different routes, which become available (and make only sense to play) in the following order: - The Fate route. Main focus are the blond girl with sword and armor (Saber/Artoria) and the affirmation of the main characters ideals. - Unlimited Bladeworks route. Main focus are the black haired girl who prefers red clothing (Rin) and the struggle of the main character with his ideals. - The Heaven's Feel route. Main focus are the violet haired girl in the regular clothes (Sakura) and changing/adapting the ideals of the MC. This route also explains most secrets about the story that the other routes left unaddressed. The original Fate/Stay Night is from 2004 (none of those openings is on this list). In 2006 Studio Deen adapted mostly the Fate route (though with aspects of the other routes mixed in which a lot fans dislike) in a two season anime (videos 4-5). That TV series got an upgraded OVA summary in 2010 as Fate/stay night TV reproduction (videos 6). [Next Studio Deen adapted the Unlimited Bladeworks route into a single movie - that is not well liked among fans and pretty obscure nowadays]. In 2007 a PS 2 port (now voiced) for Fate/Stay Night was released under the name Fate/Stay Night Realta Nua (original openings not featured in your playlist). In 2012 a PS Vita version of Fate/Stay Night Realta Nua was released, now with different openings for each route [though the ones for Fate and Unlimited Bladeworks are very similar and have the same song in slightly different remix] with the animations for the openings provided by Studio Ufotable (openings 9 Fate, 10 Unlimited Bladeworks, 11 Heaven's Feel). In 2014 Studio Ufotable released a full anime adaptation of the Unlimited Bladeworks route with two seasons/cours (openings 7 & 8 in the playlist). In August 2024 a remastered released based on the Realta Nua PS Vita version, but upscaled for extended backgrounds etc. to fit 16:9 screens and it had for the first time officila translations in English and Chinese. Hollow Ataraxia is the sequel to all three routes of Fate/Stay Night (it is complicated ...). I was originally released in 2005 with the opening "ataraxia" by rhu (opening not featured) and the "second opening" "hollow" by rhu (opening not featured). In 2014 it got new, now fully voiced, released for PS vita and PC with openings animated by Ufotable and new openings by AIMER ("broKen NIGHT" opening 12 and "holLow wORlD" (opening 13); there is also a ending song by AIMER. It was announced that a remaster similar to Fate/Stay Night will come out soon. Fate Zero is the prequel [though technically not exactly as almost, but not everything leading, to Stay/Night was exactly as in Fate/Zero]. It was originally a light novel by Gen Urobutchi [written under supervision of the Fate creator Kinoko Nasu, one of the two founders of TYPE MOON, the company that owns the Nasuverse properties) released in 2006 and 2007. In 2011 it was adapted into a full 25 episode anime by studio Ufotable. The anime adaptation has the two openings "oath sign" by LiSA (opening 1) and "to the beginning" by Kalafina (opening 2). Fate/Zero Cafe was a 2 episode mini parody series based on the Fate/Zero Cafe manga. The first episode was the supporting short film for the Kara no Kyoukai Movie: Fukan Fuukei rerelease in 2013 and the second one was shown in 2016 in Ufotable movie theaters with every movie and in the Ufotbale cafes. It is a much needed light hearted take on the heavy subject matter of Fate/Zero (written by the Madoka Magica creator Gen Urobuchi, nicknamed the Urobutcher) (opening 3). Today's Menue for the Emiya Family (Emiya-san Chi no Kyou no Gohan) is a 12 short (12 ca. 10 min episodes anime based on a longer manga of the same kind. It mainly focusses on cooking and the main character from Fate/Stay Night was even in the original story very devoted to cooking good food. It was inspired in tone by the slice of life segments of the orignal Hollow Ataraxia game. Carnival Phantasm ( is a parody series of Type Moon, mainly featuring the cast of Fate/Stay Night and Tsukihime (another work taking place in a different world of the Nasuverse, the massive multiverse Kinoko Nasu created that uses the same principles and mechanics in each work). Opening 20 here was the much beloved "Super☆Affection" for it. To enjoy Carnival Phantasm to it's fullest you just need to have watched all of Fate/Stay Night (and any adaptation Fate or UBW route + Heaven's Feel is enough), and Tsukihime (reading the pretty good manga adaptation is enough). Though the enjoyment is enhanced by also knowing Hollow Ataraxia (Fate/Stay Night's sequel) and Kagetsu Tohya (Tsukihime's sequel) and the original Melty Blood (a fighting game and different sequel to Tsukihime). About why slice of life pieces are so beloved by the fans: That is the whole point about things like Carnival Phantasm or Today's Menu for the Emiya family, etc.. Up until relatively recently (when Fate Grand Order started in 2015) we kindda needed the upbeat slice if life and/or parody, those gave us the needed breathing space when the rest was mostly very dramatic and dark (though there occasional moments of comedy they were not quite on a parody level like a lot of the "side works" are).
Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya (Prisma Illya for short) is a magical girl spinn-off series taking place in it's own universe but still under the same world building rules and featuring some characters that appear in multiple series (as many Fate titles do) that was developed and written by Hiroshi Hiroyama (but with Nasu giving his OK and some slight influence). It started in 2007 and the manga is still ongoing. In 2013 Silver Link started to adapt the series (opening 15) in 2014 the second season (2wei from the German term zwei, for 2) was created (opening 16). It was followed in 2015 by 2wei Herz (opening 17). The fourth season is 3rei (from the German term drei, for 3) and it introduces the greater scope villains and in general gets more complicated (opening 18). The story was continued with two movies: Oath in the Snow (a flashback with a bit of framing devices) and Licht - The Nameless Girl which continues the story. Since they are movies, none of them has a traditional opening. Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Illya: Prisma★Phantasm is an OVA from 2019 (similar to the specials for the previous seasons) and adds short stories with very comedic antics to the 3rei season of Prisma Illya. It's opening is Kaleido Festival by Mai Kadowaki, Kaori Nazuka, Chiwa Saitou. Satomi Sato, Emiri Kato, Kanae Itou, & Mariya Ise. Fate/Apocrypha is a series that started from the development of a computer game but instead became a light novel (which is proper written and printed novel with some illustrations) series written by Yuuichirou Higashide (under Nasu's supervision) from 2012 to 2014 and adapted into an anime by A-1 pictures in 2017 (openings 22 & 23). Fate/Extra was the first entry into the EX part of Fate. The setting is a little different (and yes, technically on the moon ...), though in greater scope it still fits in with other Nasuverse series and has many touching points. Fate Extra was a PSP game released in 2010 (it's game opening is missing in the playlist). A remake (Fate/Extra record) is currently in the development and should be coming out next year (2025). Fate/Extra CCC is (depending on the route) an interquell or alternate ending of Fate/Extra. It also was a PSP game released in 2013. The opening's song is "Sakura Meikyū" by Kanon Wakeshima and it was animated by studio SHAFT (opening 26). Fate/Extella, is a 2017 musou type game that is a sequel to an alternative version of Fate/Extra (opening 28). There are also the 2018 Fate/Extella Link sequel (opening not featured in the playlist). Fate/Extra Last Encore, an anime by studio SHAFT which was adapted from a script by Nasu that was shaved down to ca. 1/3 of the original content is a distant sequel to a bad ending of Fate/Extra (opening 27). The Case Files of Lord El Melloi the second (opening 24) is a Mystery type story centered around London, following the development of one of Fate/Zero's protagonists and takes place immediate before and during the very beginning of Fate/Stay Night. It was a light novel series by Makoto Sanda (under close supervision and guidance of Nasu) released from 2014 to 2019. It's third arc (out of 5) was adapted in 2019 by studio Troyca. The instrumental opening "starting the case: Rail Zeppelin" is composed by Yuki Kajiura (the head behind Kalafina and composer of great chunks of the Fate/Zero and Heaven's Feel movie soundtracks). There is also a Lord El-Melloi II's Case Files: Rail Zeppelin Grace Note - Special Episode "Waver, Reunion and the Magic Lantern" which has version of the opening with sung lyrics. There is a still ongoing follow-up Light Novel series, The Adventures of Lord El Melloi II, which has no adaptation yet. Fate/Samurai Remnant is an action RPG taking place in 1651 where a kind of Holy Grail War (the Waxing Moon Ritual) is fought. It features the classical arrangement of 7 Masters and 7 Servants of the original classes, but also other rogue Servants. The opening theme is Zanya Gensou by Spiral LadderWP feat.LICCA and was animated by CloverWorks.
Tsukihime is a different series by the same author (Kinoko Nasu) that takes place in the same multiverse (called the Nasuverse, that almost all Type Moon works take place in). So it technically is not part of Fate. The original version was in 2000 the first Visual Novel of Type Moon (the company that all parts of the Nasuverse [+ a very few other select properties] belong to). What you had been watching were the openings for the two routes of the first half of the remake that released in August 2021. It is focusing on a completely different side of the Nasuverse than Fate but being part of the same multiverse it has the same mechanics and the lore has a lot of overlap. Tsukihime's topic are (in a broad sense) vampires. (I also wonder why another big Visual Novel by Type Moon, Mahoutsukai no Yoru / Witch on the Holy Night (originally a full 400 page barely published novel, in 1996, turned into gorgeous Visual Novel in 2011) was not featured. It's topic are mages. I guess the playlist only has anime style animated openings ...)
A little info about the Grand Order part of Fate. Let's see how explain stuff without to many spoilers ... In all of Grand Order [which is a mobile game] you play a Master (right after the first part of the prologue the Last Master of Humanity) who is a (originally new) member of an Organization called Chaldea that just started operation to their proclaimed goal to observe and correct threats to the Existence of Humanity's future existence. Chaldea blends Magecraft and technology and projects (Rayshifts) people and summoned Servants to points in the Past or Present. Fate/Grand Order is composed of 3 main sections: Story Arc 1 deals with the Incineration of Humanity. It's main story is composed so called Singularities, points in time that you are send to that have become twisted and diverged from Human History. It contains one tutorial Singularity (Singularity F) and 7 other Singularities plus the Final Chapter. Each Singularity is set at certain point in history; for example Babylonia (the one that got the anime adaption with two openings among the trailer you have seen) is set 2655 BCE in Ancient Sumeria. The opening for Story Arc 1 is the 29th op in the playlist. Story Arc 1.5, (that is the official terminology and TYPE MOON likes to joke it is like bonus OVA chapters that can be skipped), Epic of Remnant, deals with 4 additional Singularities (plus an additional main story Chapter "disguised" as an Event in the form of the Fate/Extra CCC collab) formed by the actions of some of the "enemy leadership" (describing it more would be spoiler heavy) from the previous story arc. Excerpt for one most of these Singularties take place in the recent past, present of future. Story Arc 2 is Cosmos in the Lostbelt. Even talking about most of the background would be major spoilers, but one thing I consider important to know is that Each of the Lostbelts (of which there 7 proper ones plus at least one more) is an alternate World with it's own history which should not exist by the rules the multiverse works in the Nasuverse, and that in each you confront another Master (they are the ones the that originally were supposed to do the job you did in Part 1 but were out of commission from the incident that made you Last Master of Humanity) and their Servant and one being that is the focus of the changes in said Lostbelt, it's Lostbelt King. The Imaginary Scramble (the Nautilus focused event) is considered part 4.5 of the main story of part 2, Hell Mandala Heian-Kyo is part 5.5 and Anti Primate Biosphere Tunguska is part 6.5 of the main story of part 2. Currently another story arc called Ordeal Call that seems to be similar in being part of the main story but will be optional for the whole work is ongoing. It is placed between the last of the 7 Lostbelts and the grand finale. Story Arc 2 (which started in 2018 and still is running) has two openings (op 32 an d33 in the playlist). FGO has adaptations of the prologue (First Order) of the 6th Singularity (two movies) of the 7th Singularity (a full 2 cour tv anime, the first opening of which are opening 30 & 31 in this reaction), of the "Final" Singularity (a movie from the creators of the adaptation of the 7th Singularity). A little special called "Moonlight Lostroom" that takes place immediately before Arc 2 starts and still has some mystery to it. There is also an animated special of KOHA ACE GUDA GUDA ORDER (a series of gag manga that originally started before the launch of FGO), a special for FGO learning with Manga (another gag manga that originally started out as a player guide to Fate/Grand Order; opening 34). There is the animated short series "Fujimaru Ritsuka Doesn't get it". There also is Fate/Grand Carnival (comedic skits similar to the comedic skits of Carnival Phantasm for FGO, Tsukihime and Melty Blood) with a few episodes made for the 20th anniversary of Type Moon. It has 4 episodes. The opening song is the same as for Carnival Phantasm, but performed by the seiyu's of some of Fate/Grand Order's most prominent cast (you sadly skipped it, was opening 35) as it uses characters from Fate/Grand Order. The anniversaries staring with anniversary 4 all had little animated movies (excerpt for anniversaries 7 (2022) and 9 (2024) which had recollection slide shows. So the memorial movie 2023 (8th anniversary; op 36) is not just an exception (though it is the longest and best ...).
if you end up liking the stay night anime then you should def read the visual novel (its on steam/switch, basically a game where you read and make choices that affect the story with visuals, soundtracks and animation) cause the anime cuts out a TON especially in heavens feel, for reference the story of hf is like 20+ hours but the anime is only 6. hollow ataraxia is also a sequel to stay night but it has no anime, mostly cause the story isnt linear so theres no set way for it to play out, and theres a ton of slice of life before the shit goes down. the vns are really good for actually understanding the lore and also how shirou thinks, i find the anime does a subpar job of actually getting his character across lol. plus you get the extra endings the anime doesnt show, especially the "true" ending for all of stay night which you unlock from getting all the diff endings if you want fate games with actual gameplay, fate samurai remnant is a pretty good action rpg. fate extra is a musou game series (type of jrpg) but the original is pretty dated, good thing its getting a remake in 2025. rn theres fate extra, fate extra ccc, fate extella, fate extella link, and the extra remake called fate extra record coming soon. extra shit about all the stuff related ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ you saw the OPs for tsukihime, which is the first part of the "nasuverse" publically released. the nasuverse is basically everything that kinoko nasu made, including fate. they all take place in the same multiverse but they have their own quirks. each one has its own differences in lore which is why theyre not all grouped in one multiverse with fate. for example tsukihime has vampires which due to lore shenanigans have pretty much zero power in fate even though in their own verse, theyre as strong as servants. theres only one thing which bridges them which is fate strange fake but thats only because it started as an april fools joke turned into serious light novels lol theres 4 main nasuverse entries: - Witch on the Holy Night (timeline wise its the first, it was also written first in 1996 but only released officially in 2012 as a visual novel, funnily without any choices but the visuals are ridiculously good, pretty much doesnt need an anime lol), its about mages and magic more than anything else and its a great relatively short story - The Garden of Sinners, originally 2 novels in 1999 then 4 light novels. it has a ridiculously good anime, especially for 2007 standards when it came out. really about the more mysterious areas of the lore, it has 7 parts (plus an epilogue short and a follow up movie), each one tackling a different mystery. the first few parts are told out of order, but it all wraps around in the end so id recommend you to just watch parts 1-7 in order as it was made, only watch it chronologically if you do a rewatch - Tsukihime is a vn, originally from 2000 but they remade it in 2021 as Tsukihime : A Piece of Blue Glass Moon (only one half so far). before fate it was the biggest thing nasu made and its probably a top 3 most influential vn of all time. pretty much every vn after it like higurashi or steins gate was inspired by it and its a big influence on japanese modern fantasy as a whole (like monogatari series). its kind of like undertale in how it was an indy game that revolutionized its genre. without it, theres also no fate - fate, you know it, but ill explain anyways. originally a 2004 visual novel with 3 main 'routes', it blew up like crazy thanks to its anime and the concept of it really made it easy for spinoffs to be made. etc etc etc you know most of it atp, probably the 1st or 2nd biggest IP in japan in part because of fate grand order
Just a forewarning that the first Fate anime does not follow the first route and instead blends all three together which can spoil the others. There is no faithful adaptation of the first route.
Dont watch Fate Zero first. It is a prequel and it assumes you know about Fate/Stay Night (The 3 storylines). And because it is written asumming you know about Fate/Stay Night, it doesnt eexplain a lot of stuff AND it spoils pretty big plot twists of Fate Stay Night. The correct order would be Fate Stay Night 2006 - Fate Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works 2014 - Fate Heavens Feel movie trilogy - Fate Zero. And after this, you can watch any other spin off in any order
@@blink14k No? It isn't mandatory to read things in order of release and TYPE-MOON knows it, so there's no "You are supposed to know how Zero ends" since Zero works pretty well as an introduction to the Nasuverse. The intention at first was what you said, but Gen Urobuchi has already agreed that watch Zero before is a great way to get to know Fate.
@@blink14k If people aren't reading the VN then it's way better to start with Zero since it does have an almost perfect adaptation unlike Stay Night and its routes (especially SN 2006, this one sucks)
@@Giovanni1__ Actually, Urobuchi himself stated that he did not make Zero to be considered and entrypoint. Because it assumes you know about FSN and thus, does not explain a lot of stuff. Therefore, Zero should not be watched first. Also, Zero is a prequel and by definition, a prequel has to be watched after the main work It has nothing to do with how Type Moon do stuff. That only applies in the sense that even if Zero is a spin-off, it is still canon. As a prequel, it has to be watched after FSN and even the author recognizes it as such. Therefore, there is nothing you can say to change that. You can have you personal opinion, but technically, Zero is a prequel, and as such, it should not be watched first because it spoils A LOT of twists in FSN
Should I watch this Series?
Fate stay night(2006)
Welcome, start with either UBW or zero
If you ask which orders of it to watch, I'll answer Fate/Random Orders lol
Yes
Definitely.

They are literally anime-level books with many different backgrounds, characters sprites, even cut scenes and a godly osts

@@NappyRiqX Fate Stay VN basically reading a manga with voice acting and slide show effects, but a hell of a lot more text than art

Fate/Samurai Remnant is an action RPG taking place in 1651 where a kind of Holy Grail War (the Waxing Moon Ritual) is fought. It features the classical arrangement of 7 Masters and 7 Servants of the original classes, but also other rogue Servants. The opening theme is Zanya Gensou by Spiral LadderWP feat.LICCA and was animated by CloverWorks.
Tsukihime is a different series by the same author (Kinoko Nasu) that takes place in the same multiverse (called the Nasuverse, that almost all Type Moon works take place in). So it technically is not part of Fate. The original version was in 2000 the first Visual Novel of Type Moon (the company that all parts of the Nasuverse [+ a very few other select properties] belong to). What you had been watching were the openings for the two routes of the first half of the remake that released in August 2021. It is focusing on a completely different side of the Nasuverse than Fate but being part of the same multiverse it has the same mechanics and the lore has a lot of overlap. Tsukihime's topic are (in a broad sense) vampires.
(I also wonder why another big Visual Novel by Type Moon, Mahoutsukai no Yoru / Witch on the Holy Night (originally a full 400 page barely published novel, in 1996, turned into gorgeous Visual Novel in 2011) was not featured. It's topic are mages. I guess the playlist only has anime style animated openings ...)
A little info about the Grand Order part of Fate. Let's see how explain stuff without to many spoilers ...
In all of Grand Order [which is a mobile game] you play a Master (right after the first part of the prologue the Last Master of Humanity) who is a (originally new) member of an Organization called Chaldea that just started operation to their proclaimed goal to observe and correct threats to the Existence of Humanity's future existence. Chaldea blends Magecraft and technology and projects (Rayshifts) people and summoned Servants to points in the Past or Present.
Fate/Grand Order is composed of 3 main sections: Story Arc 1 deals with the Incineration of Humanity. It's main story is composed so called Singularities, points in time that you are send to that have become twisted and diverged from Human History. It contains one tutorial Singularity (Singularity F) and 7 other Singularities plus the Final Chapter. Each Singularity is set at certain point in history; for example Babylonia (the one that got the anime adaption with two openings among the trailer you have seen) is set 2655 BCE in Ancient Sumeria. The opening for Story Arc 1 is the 29th op in the playlist.
Story Arc 1.5, (that is the official terminology and TYPE MOON likes to joke it is like bonus OVA chapters that can be skipped), Epic of Remnant, deals with 4 additional Singularities (plus an additional main story Chapter "disguised" as an Event in the form of the Fate/Extra CCC collab) formed by the actions of some of the "enemy leadership" (describing it more would be spoiler heavy) from the previous story arc. Excerpt for one most of these Singularties take place in the recent past, present of future.
Story Arc 2 is Cosmos in the Lostbelt. Even talking about most of the background would be major spoilers, but one thing I consider important to know is that Each of the Lostbelts (of which there 7 proper ones plus at least one more) is an alternate World with it's own history which should not exist by the rules the multiverse works in the Nasuverse, and that in each you confront another Master (they are the ones the that originally were supposed to do the job you did in Part 1 but were out of commission from the incident that made you Last Master of Humanity) and their Servant and one being that is the focus of the changes in said Lostbelt, it's Lostbelt King. The Imaginary Scramble (the Nautilus focused event) is considered part 4.5 of the main story of part 2, Hell Mandala Heian-Kyo is part 5.5 and Anti Primate Biosphere Tunguska is part 6.5 of the main story of part 2. Currently another story arc called Ordeal Call that seems to be similar in being part of the main story but will be optional for the whole work is ongoing. It is placed between the last of the 7 Lostbelts and the grand finale. Story Arc 2 (which started in 2018 and still is running) has two openings (op 32 an d33 in the playlist).
FGO has adaptations of the prologue (First Order) of the 6th Singularity (two movies) of the 7th Singularity (a full 2 cour tv anime, the first opening of which are opening 30 & 31 in this reaction), of the "Final" Singularity (a movie from the creators of the adaptation of the 7th Singularity). A little special called "Moonlight Lostroom" that takes place immediately before Arc 2 starts and still has some mystery to it. There is also an animated special of KOHA ACE GUDA GUDA ORDER (a series of gag manga that originally started before the launch of FGO), a special for FGO learning with Manga (another gag manga that originally started out as a player guide to Fate/Grand Order; opening 34). There is the animated short series "Fujimaru Ritsuka Doesn't get it". There also is Fate/Grand Carnival (comedic skits similar to the comedic skits of Carnival Phantasm for FGO, Tsukihime and Melty Blood) with a few episodes made for the 20th anniversary of Type Moon. It has 4 episodes. The opening song is the same as for Carnival Phantasm, but performed by the seiyu's of some of Fate/Grand Order's most prominent cast (you sadly skipped it, was opening 35) as it uses characters from Fate/Grand Order.
The anniversaries staring with anniversary 4 all had little animated movies (excerpt for anniversaries 7 (2022) and 9 (2024) which had recollection slide shows. So the memorial movie 2023 (8th anniversary; op 36) is not just an exception (though it is the longest and best ...).
if you end up liking the stay night anime then you should def read the visual novel (its on steam/switch, basically a game where you read and make choices that affect the story with visuals, soundtracks and animation) cause the anime cuts out a TON especially in heavens feel, for reference the story of hf is like 20+ hours but the anime is only 6. hollow ataraxia is also a sequel to stay night but it has no anime, mostly cause the story isnt linear so theres no set way for it to play out, and theres a ton of slice of life before the shit goes down. the vns are really good for actually understanding the lore and also how shirou thinks, i find the anime does a subpar job of actually getting his character across lol. plus you get the extra endings the anime doesnt show, especially the "true" ending for all of stay night which you unlock from getting all the diff endings
if you want fate games with actual gameplay, fate samurai remnant is a pretty good action rpg. fate extra is a musou game series (type of jrpg) but the original is pretty dated, good thing its getting a remake in 2025. rn theres fate extra, fate extra ccc, fate extella, fate extella link, and the extra remake called fate extra record coming soon.
extra shit about all the stuff related ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓ ↓
you saw the OPs for tsukihime, which is the first part of the "nasuverse" publically released. the nasuverse is basically everything that kinoko nasu made, including fate. they all take place in the same multiverse but they have their own quirks. each one has its own differences in lore which is why theyre not all grouped in one multiverse with fate. for example tsukihime has vampires which due to lore shenanigans have pretty much zero power in fate even though in their own verse, theyre as strong as servants. theres only one thing which bridges them which is fate strange fake but thats only because it started as an april fools joke turned into serious light novels lol
theres 4 main nasuverse entries:
- Witch on the Holy Night (timeline wise its the first, it was also written first in 1996 but only released officially in 2012 as a visual novel, funnily without any choices but the visuals are ridiculously good, pretty much doesnt need an anime lol), its about mages and magic more than anything else and its a great relatively short story
- The Garden of Sinners, originally 2 novels in 1999 then 4 light novels. it has a ridiculously good anime, especially for 2007 standards when it came out. really about the more mysterious areas of the lore, it has 7 parts (plus an epilogue short and a follow up movie), each one tackling a different mystery. the first few parts are told out of order, but it all wraps around in the end so id recommend you to just watch parts 1-7 in order as it was made, only watch it chronologically if you do a rewatch
- Tsukihime is a vn, originally from 2000 but they remade it in 2021 as Tsukihime : A Piece of Blue Glass Moon (only one half so far). before fate it was the biggest thing nasu made and its probably a top 3 most influential vn of all time. pretty much every vn after it like higurashi or steins gate was inspired by it and its a big influence on japanese modern fantasy as a whole (like monogatari series). its kind of like undertale in how it was an indy game that revolutionized its genre. without it, theres also no fate
- fate, you know it, but ill explain anyways. originally a 2004 visual novel with 3 main 'routes', it blew up like crazy thanks to its anime and the concept of it really made it easy for spinoffs to be made. etc etc etc you know most of it atp, probably the 1st or 2nd biggest IP in japan in part because of fate grand order
4:27 Its a class, not a name. And Fate series are definitely not called Fate stay series, stay out of that delusion. Btw 6:40 incorrect.
Just a forewarning that the first Fate anime does not follow the first route and instead blends all three together which can spoil the others. There is no faithful adaptation of the first route.
Fate Kaleid is by far the Best and Darkest Fate Series
Dont watch Fate Zero first. It is a prequel and it assumes you know about Fate/Stay Night (The 3 storylines). And because it is written asumming you know about Fate/Stay Night, it doesnt eexplain a lot of stuff AND it spoils pretty big plot twists of Fate Stay Night.
The correct order would be Fate Stay Night 2006 - Fate Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works 2014 - Fate Heavens Feel movie trilogy - Fate Zero. And after this, you can watch any other spin off in any order
I agree in parts, but Stay Night spoils the whole ending of Zero since it's a sequel so...
@ Zero is a prequel. It came AFTER Fate Stay Night. You are supposed to know how Zero ends because is part of Stay Night narrative
@@blink14k No? It isn't mandatory to read things in order of release and TYPE-MOON knows it, so there's no "You are supposed to know how Zero ends" since Zero works pretty well as an introduction to the Nasuverse. The intention at first was what you said, but Gen Urobuchi has already agreed that watch Zero before is a great way to get to know Fate.
@@blink14k If people aren't reading the VN then it's way better to start with Zero since it does have an almost perfect adaptation unlike Stay Night and its routes (especially SN 2006, this one sucks)
@@Giovanni1__ Actually, Urobuchi himself stated that he did not make Zero to be considered and entrypoint. Because it assumes you know about FSN and thus, does not explain a lot of stuff. Therefore, Zero should not be watched first. Also, Zero is a prequel and by definition, a prequel has to be watched after the main work
It has nothing to do with how Type Moon do stuff. That only applies in the sense that even if Zero is a spin-off, it is still canon. As a prequel, it has to be watched after FSN and even the author recognizes it as such. Therefore, there is nothing you can say to change that. You can have you personal opinion, but technically, Zero is a prequel, and as such, it should not be watched first because it spoils A LOT of twists in FSN
Damn Fate got a shit tune of spinoff 😂😂😂
They all look good tho
Just treat Fate series as MCU stuff, they're all kinda connected but you don't need to watch all of them
Fate stay😊
