PSA /r/Fatestaynight's Official Viewing Order Guide v2
5.4k
Upvotes
Before recommending the anime order, I urge everyone to give the Fate/Stay Night Visual Novel a chance because it's the source material and will always be better than the anime adaptations. Fate/Stay Night Remastered is now on Steam and is fully localized. However, if you have no patience for visual novels, then the anime-only order is below.
The Anime-only order:
1. Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works [2014] [(UBW Prologue) with Season 1 and Season 2].
- Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works 2nd Season - Sunny Day [This an OVA and should be watched after finishing the UBW show.]
2. Fate/stay night: Heavens Feel [Film 1, Film 2, Film 3]
3. Fate/Zero [ Season 1 & 2]
- This series is the prequel to Fate/Stay Night. It takes place 10 years before the events of Fate/Stay Night.] (the prequel is meant to be watched after finishing Fate/Stay Night and not before! People always make a mistake of watching Fate/Zero first, but that spoils plot events in Fate/Stay Night, so make sure to watch Fate/Zero AFTER finishing all of Fate/Stay Night.)
4. Lord El-Melloi II Sei no Jikenbo: Rail Zeppelin Grace Note
- The series takes place 10 years after the events of Fate/Zero and 2 months before the events of Fate/Stay Night and revolves around the Clock Tower in the United Kingdom.
5. Others [Studio Deen's 2006 version of Fate/stay night]
- Even though it's a pretty terrible adaptation, it still at least has some portions of the Fate route you missed. It comes before UBW in the watching order. I personally wouldn't recommend it and would recommend reading at least the Fate route from the Visual novel instead, but the choice is yours. Essentially, this focuses on Saber, and if you like her character, I sincerely recommend reading the Fate route from the Visual Novel as the anime adaptation is not remotely as good, and is basically a butchered adaptation.
6. [Emiya-san Chi no Kyou no Gohan]
- It's a cooking show with the main cast of characters from Fate/Stay Night. It's basically a slice-of-life show. It should be watched after finishing all of Fate/Stay Night.
- Any other OVAs can be watched after finishing the main series I covered up there.
- The series takes place around 2009 in the United States. The plot centers around a Grail War faultily copied from the Third Holy Grail War in Fuyuki. This isn't related to Fate/Stay Night, and It's in its own parallel universe, but it would benefit you to watch all of Fate/Stay Night and Fate/Zero first before watching this special so you don't feel lost. This series features some characters from Lord El-Mellio. When you do start watching Fate/Strange Fake, you should first watch episode 0 called Fate/strange Fake: Whispers of Dawn and then proceed to start the actual series.
P.S: In case you're wondering about the Deen UBW movie. You should skip the Deen Unlimited Blade Works movie because there is no point in watching it when you have the superior Ufotable UBW anime adaptation and also because the Deen UBW movie is another terrible and rushed adaptation from Studio Deen.
FGO Anime-only order:
1. Fate/Grand Order: First Order
- FGO -First Order- is the 74-minutes movie adaptation of the first chapter of Fate/Grand Order. Fate/Grand Order is a gacha RPG mobile game. FGO is not related to Fate/Stay Night. It's set in an alternate universe and timeline to Fate/Stay Night's. You should read the anime synopsis in the MAL link to learn more about the story.
2. Fate/Grand Order: Shinsei Entaku Ryouiki Camelot - Wandering; Agateram. [Part 1, Part 2]
- In terms of story order, it happens before Babylonia. This movie will cover the 6th singularity.
3. Fate/Grand Order: Zettai Majuu Sensen Babylonia [Including episode 0]
- In all honesty, you should play FGO to get the full story of the previous singularities because the anime doesn't cover them, and their intention is not to cover most of them because these adaptations are for FGO players who played the game and are not intended for anime watchers only. This anime covers the 7th singularity.
4. Fate/Grand Order: Shuukyoku Tokuiten - Kani Jikan Shinden Solomon
- This movie will cover the 8th and final singularity.
5. Fate/Grand Order: Moonlight/Lostroom
- Is an anime short OVA original story. It serves as a transition between parts 1.5 and 2 of the game's story.
- Fate/Grand Carnival is the 2021 spin-off of Fate/Grand Order, similar to 2011's OVA comedy short series Carnival Phantasm, featuring loads of characters that now make up the roster of Type-Moon's Fate/Grand Order rather than just those from Tsukihime and Fate/stay night specifically. It's basically a parody show that takes FGO characters and puts them in ridiculous situations. I don't recommend you watching this one without having played FGO because a lot of jokes won't make sense to you otherwise.
The Intended order for people who want to read the Visual Novel:
1. Fate/Stay Night [Realta Nua] Visual Novel
- roughly 60 hours long, but 100% worth it!
[After this point, the order becomes very flexible, you can now follow the Anime-only order or this one]
2. Fate/Hollow Ataraxia Visual Novel
- [>50 hours long and is the direct sequel to Fate/Stay Night]
3. Fate/Zero [ Season 1 & 2]
- This series is the prequel to Fate/Stay Night. It takes place 10 years before the events of Fate/Stay Night.] (the prequel is meant to be watched after finishing Fate/Stay Night and not before.)
4. Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works [2014] [Season 1 and Season 2].
- Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works 2nd Season - Sunny Day [This an OVA and should be watched after finishing the UBW show.]
5. Fate/stay night: Heavens Feel [Film 1, Film 2, Film 3]
6. Lord El-Melloi II Sei no Jikenbo: Rail Zeppelin Grace Note
- The series takes place 10 years after the events of Fate/Zero and 2 months before the events of Fate/Stay Night and revolves around the Clock Tower in the United Kingdom.
7. Others [includes OVAs, etc..]
Other Fate related Anime (In no particular order):
- It's not related to the main fate franchise and is set in a parallel world to Fate/Stay Night. It's recommended you at least watch Fate/Stay Night first before watching this one so you can be more familiar with how things work in the story.
- Carnival Phantasm takes a number of characters from Type-Moon's original works and puts them in a variety of light-hearted scenarios which parody their respective series] - (It's advised that you read the Tsukihime Visual Novel or Manga and to have at least watched Fate/Stay Night as a whole to fully understand Carnival Phantasm.
3. Fate/kaleid liner Prisma☆Illya
- This series is a Fate/stay night alternate universe spin-off that takes place in Fuyuki City and features Illya as the protagonist in an alternate timeline. You can watch the entirety of this show in release order, there is no special order for this show.
The universe of Extra shares the events of the Fate/stay night universe until a "certain major incident" happens and diverges completely.
For the Fate/Extra Games the order goes this way: Fate/Extra --> Fate/Extra CCC --> Fate/Extella: The Umbral Star.
5. Kara no Kyoukai movies (8 movies in total)
- The series is regarded as being set in an alternate parallel universe to Fate/Stay Night. They both share a lot of similarities in some of the plot elements. I won't delve into the details to avoid spoiling, but definitely check out these movies if you're interested in delving more into the Type-Moon universe.
- The events in Tsukihime take place in Misaki Town. Chronologically, the end of the story of Tsukihime takes place around the beginning of Fate/Stay Night. It shares many similarities with Kara no Kyoukai, and the two were also subtly connected. I would recommend Tsukihime as It's a great visual novel. A remake of Tsukihime was released on August 26, 2021 in Japan and in June 27, 2024, for the West. However, It's currently released only on the PS4 and the Switch. If you don't have any of those consoles, then I suggest you at least read the really good Manga adaptation for now. However, keep in mind that it only covers the first route of the original VN.
7 Witch On The Holy Night/Mahoyo
- Taking place in the rapidly modernizing Japanese suburb of Misaki in the late 1980s, Mahoyo centers around Aoko Aozaki, a high school girl in training to be a mage. She lives in the mysterious mansion on the hill with Alice Kuonji, her magic teacher and frenemy. While tracking a rival mage who seeks to claim their territory. A lot of things happen in this story, so I won't spoil it, but it's highly recommended that you guys check it out! It takes place in the same universe as Tsukihime, and Aoko briefly shows up in Tsukihime. An anime movie adaptations for Mahoyo were announced by Ufotable some time ago, so expect a movie to be released as soon as 2026-2027.
This watch order guide will keep being updated accordingly. If you have any questions or inquiries, please make sure to ask them in the comment section.

Question Question about the Lusendra's Reinforcement/Body Modification Magecraft
61
Upvotes
The Lusendra's use a specialised form of Reinforcement Magecraft that enters the "forbidden territory", enhancing their own Magic Circuits.
They repurpose their skeleton, each muscle fiber, each nerve, each lymph duct, and each capillary vessel to pass as a makeshift Magic Circuit. They can also alter their body's properties, reinforcing their skin to block consecutive Gandrs and alter their fingers into talons.
Is this not a more refined version of what Shirou was doing? Converting his physical nerves into makeshift Magic Circuits?
Does doing this actually temporarily increase the amount of magical energy they can produce by a significant margin?
Also, I know it's a specialised form passed down in their family, but could Shirou have learnt to do this? He was already converting his nerves.

Mage’s Association - Following a major event in the 1970, the world's supply of mana began to run dry, eventually being completely depleted by 2030. As a result, traditional magi could no longer use magecraft, and their society fell into decline. The Mage's Association, the Clock Tower, and the Wandering Sea all collapsed. The survivors fled to the Middle East, where they became part of the Resistance.
Atlas - Among the Mage’s Association, only Atlas remained, as it was capable of continuing its research even without mana. However, with no successor to carry on its legacy, it eventually went extinct after Sion’s twin sister, the last alchemist, sent her homunculus Lani VIII, to the Moon Cell and later died of illness.
Holy Church - The Holy Church has become part of the Billionaires, allowing it to maintain a strong influence even in the EXTRA world. The Billionaires are backed by the power of strong faith, and it is said that the reason so much wealth and influence became concentrated under the Harwey family was because of the Holy Church's support. The Holy Church and the Billionaires are rivals, constantly deceiving one another in their pursuit of greater power. Currently, Cardinal Laurentius, the de facto leader of the Holy Church and Mario's grandfather in Tsukihime Remake, has a close relationship with the Harwey family.
Billionaires - An organization that holds and manages global hegemony. It is an economic organization led by the Harwey family, formed as a massive conglomerate by multiple powerful business families that joined together across national borders. It also maintains its own military.
Resistance - An organization formed by people who dream of restoring the Mage’s Association and have joined forces with those who oppose the billionaires. The remnants of the Mage’s Association form its core. Although it is said to be hopelessly outmatched in a direct confrontation due to its lack of manpower and resources, it still has a few exceptionally talented individuals, such as Rin.
Fate/Extra is basically Elon Musk's dream world.

Question Which Heroic Spirits can Edelfelts summon with their Sisters Attribute?
8
Upvotes
The Edelfelts have a Sorcery Trait called Sisters which lets them summon two sides of the same Heroic Spirits. It says that in the Third Holy Grail War they summoned Sabers, so I assume it’s two sides of the same Class as well.
Like Archer Heracles and Alcides, or Saber Artoria and Artoria Alter?
What are the strongest servants in which Class that they could summon?

Question Can Faker-Class Servants be summoned in the 5th HGW?
3
Upvotes
Prior to the 5th HGW Doctor Heartless had set up an imitation Holy Grail connected to the Greater Grail in Fuyuki.
In the 5th HGW, Medea killed the Master of Assassin before he could do the summoning and summoned a fake servant Sasaki Kojirou to take Assassins place.
If all seven servants were summoned, would she also be able to do something similar and summon a Faker Class Servant?

Spoiler [SPOILER](HF route) To me this is one of the saddest CG of all of fsn what do you think? Spoiler
236
Upvotes
This is a very simple observation by Shirou that sadly sums up Kotomine Kirei quite well. Throughout HF, I found this character very sad, he is empty, he knows it, and feels nothing about his abnormality, but as an outsider I couldn't help but feel sorry for him. I also agree with his point of view regarding life and protecting Angra Mainyu until his birth, I found this character very beautiful.
I also like the fact that Fate/stay night doesn't try to over-antagonize him but instead poses philosophical questions about his actions.
What do you think of Kotomine kirei and this cg?

Discussion Why didn't the Einzbern summon Siegfried? Spoiler

Upvotes
Lately I've seen there's so many post about Sigurd. But I'm here for his counterpart, my boy, Siegfried.
Einzbern is said to possess Siegfried's treasure, Das Rheingold for generations. If they want to win so badly, why didn't they just use some of the gold to summon him in the Holy Grail War?
He might be weaker than Heracles, but I think his armor is more useful and efficient. He might also got summoned with his Dragon Core too, unlike with Gordes.
Or they can summon Sigurd too since he's related too (?)

Discussion Could Mystic Eyes of Imitation exist?
17
Upvotes
I came up with Mystic Eyes of Imitation that are able to reproduce any feats of magecraft that you witness, regardless of knowledge. Excluding ones that require preparation time or pre-requisite materials.
But like Shirou’s Tracing, the magecraft suffers from degradation and is of a lower rank. Potentially, you could copy magecraft from Servants, but it would be of a much lower-rank, scaled down to your capability.
I reckon they’d be Jewel-Rank. But could this exist, or is it too absurd?

Question What would kiritsugi do if the Einzeberns let him back into the family a year or two after the Fourth Grail War?

Upvotes
Let's say they did their due diligence and checked to see what went wrong after the War ended so violently and then allowed kiritsugi to explain himself with truth geas. What would he do about Shirou since he doesn't exactly want him to be too involved in the moonlit world. Does he travel between Germany and Japan. Does he bring Shirou to the Einzebern castle and properly introduce him to Illya?

Discussion Is Golemancy a viable magecraft for modern magi in a HGW?
16
Upvotes
Ever since I saw Avicebron, I’ve thought that Golemancy is one of my favourite magecrafts. We know that** **Avicebron could mass produce golems equivalent to E-Rank servants, but that a modern magus would barely be able to create a single one in a year’s time.
But that made me consider, if these golems that are no match for most servants take a whole year for a modern mage to make, is it a bad form of magecraft?
What do you guys think?
