How to Watch Fate Series? Fate Series Watch Order

"From where to start watching Fate series?" "In what order should I watch it?" "What should be watched first?" "What is the best order?"

When you first heard of the anime called Fate, and looked it up on the internet, many series must have come up and you must have thought "In what order do I watch these in?". But, the thing is, no matter what order you watch this anime in, it will make sense. In fact there is not any correct order. Of course there are some order that are better than others, and that's what we're going to talk about.

This franchise stems from a Visual Novel, Fate/Stay Night by Type-Moon. It was released in 2004. In the Fate Anime, each Storyline has different main character. Some of the storylines are set in alternate realities too so don't get confused.

Usually, I prefer, and also recommend to watch series in the order they are released. However, Fate franchise is an exception to this as each series is set in separate universes with their respective timeline so it doesn't really matter however you watch. The order I'm gonna talk about is one of the best order, but again it's up to you to decide how you want to watch.
