In quick pointers here, we have compiled the basic details about the Fate anime series and a complete guide to watch the series.

What Is Fate Anime?

Based on its first route of Type-Moon’s original visual novels, fate anime series or Fate/Stay night is a Japanese visual novel that was originally developed and released as an adult game for Windows. Later, one of the versions of fate stay night order was rated for age’s groups 15, which featured the Japanese voice actors from the anime series and that was released for the PlayStation 2.

 In What Fate Watch Order Should I Watch It?

This season we have two anime in the Fate series on our screens. Although many of you may be big fans of Fate, I’m sure there are some of you that are new to the series and are wondering what it’s all about. I want to give you a quick overview of fate babylonia anime and the various TV anime within the franchise. What is So Good about the fate series order?

No matter what, it is a battle between people who fight for their beliefs. It features the difficulty of perseverance. The masters who fight in the war do so because they each have a wish that they want granted. The protagonist of Fate/stay night, Shirou Emiya, is an honest boy who wishes to save a lot of people.

On the other hand, the masters who try to defeat the other participants also have wishes; a wish strong enough to risk their lives in battle. Shirou gets toyed around by other people’s wishes and obstacles. There is no ‘happily-ever-after’ ending waiting for them. Even if the wish is self-serving or evil, the faith in their battle is depicted so diligently that it really is something to watch out for.

The battle action scenes are also a highlight. In battle, the Servants use weapons called Noble Phantasms (written with the kanji for ‘Treasures’). They can be anything from swords to spears but the weapon differs by servant. The camerawork that carefully follows the lively battle makes the audience feel like they are fighting with the characters.

The bond between Master and Servant is also something to pay attention to. There are different relationships and it’s really interesting to watch each one and realize whether it’s a use-and-be-used relationship and how that changes.

Gen Urobuchi is heavily involved in the fate watch order. He wrote the Fate/Zero light novels, which act as a prequel to Fate/stay night. They were also adapted into anime. Gen Urobuchi is known for Puella Magi Madoka Magica and PSYCHO-PASS, among other works. I won’t spoil anything for those series, but if you know them, then you know what I’m talking about if I say what kind of touch he lends to the Fate universe.

A Fierce Battle over the Holy Grail

Something that ties almost all works in the fate watch order together is a battle royal known as The Holy Grail War. The Holy Grail is an omnipotent existence that can grant any wish and is the subject of the war. Each of The Holy Grail Wars usually revolves around seven Masters chosen by the Holy Grail and the seven Servants that they summon. Each Servant is a Heroic Spirit based on a real historical or legendary figure, such as King Arthur, Hercules, or William Shakespeare, but are usually referred to using the name of their class.

There are seven classes of Servants, which are as follows: Saber, Lancer, Archer, Rider, Caster, Assassin, and Berserker. One Servant is contracted to one Master and the battle rages on. As most of the works in the Fate series revolve around these wars, they are full of discord, conflict, and constant bloodshed.

Pin Off Series

Some series venture off into slightly different genres. For example, the following are side stories by the animation studio Silver Link:

  • TV anime Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya (2013)
  • TV anime Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 2wei! (2014)
  • TV anime Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 2wei Herz! (2015)
  • TV anime Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 3rei!! (2016)
  • Movie Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya: Oath under Snow (2017)

Based on a manga series by Hiroshi Hiyama, an alternate universe spin-off of the magical girl genre. Also, there is the following anime, which is airing monthly:

Web anime today’s Menu for Emiya Family

Based on a slice-of-life cooking manga featuring the Fate/stay Night characters, written by TAa and with recipes supervised by Makoto Tadano. The series is animated by ufotable.

This one is a little different from the other animated entries in the series as it doesn’t focus on the Holy Grail War whatsoever. We follow Shirou, Saber, and other characters from Fate/Stay Night as they enjoy home-cooked meals together. Each episode features a different recipe, which Shirou explains to us in an easy-to-understand manner. Although you may have more fun watching the anime if you are already familiar with the characters of the series, it is still a nice watch for people with zero Fate knowledge who are interested in Japanese cooking!

Today’s Menu for Emiya Family is not the first non-serious spin-off anime in the Fate franchise. The anime Carnival Phantasm was released as a series of OVAs in 2011-2012. Focusing much more on the comedy and slapstick aspects, Carnival Phantasm features not only characters from fate stay night order, but also from other Type-Moon franchises such as Tsukihime (a visual novel which was released before Fate/Stay Night). However, I would say this is geared more towards people who are already fans of the characters of Type-Moon as opposed to people new to the franchise.
