FSN has 3 storylines - Fate, UBW and HF (coming soon to a theater near you!)
UBW is about the relationship between Shirou and Archer. HF is about the grail war and the masters and has the grand finale that you are searching for.

The VN is better. You find them here

Fate/Zero takes place in the previous Grail War, where Saber meets Gil.

Thanks comrade. These storylines are not really related, right? To be honest, I like the Shirou + Rin theme, but the ending of UBW just feels unsatisfying. Nearly as worse as Oreimo...

It's a porn VN with multiple routes.
Each heroine gets a route.

>that's what HF shitters actually believe

>>142241629
"Believe" what? He literally just stated facts. The fucking tiger dojo secret ending directly calls HF the "grand finale", and the route order was originally enforced for a reason.

I couldnt even make it through the first few episodes
Where is the fucking action?
Half of the fights seem to be
>"Nice honor, sir/madam"
>"Thanks, your honor is quite impressive as well, splendid weather isn't it?"
>"It really is, tallyho"
>"Well then, shall we?"
>"We shall"
>Cue 1 million filters and adobe after effects, maybe there is also some animation under it, hard to tell
Dragonball tier

And the rest is just your usual harem/schoolshit

I ask, whats the fucking point of this?

>>142241722
the tiger dojo also tells you that the dojo is the main storyline of Fate

>>142241728
>Where is the fucking action?
Over at Boku no Eotena and Habanero.

>>142241935
Can someone explain me the Fate-universe?

It is/was originally a VN and contains of different "routes" which mean storylines? How many of them are there yet?

>>142242214
How about you stop acting like a useless little shit and read the thread before you ask something.

Fate/Stay Night is originally a visual novel with 3 routes: Fate, Unlimited Blade Works, and Heaven's Feel. The story basically separates at a point early on into each of the three routes. Each route have the same setting and characters, but completely different stories and themes. They must be played in that order as they build off of the previous route.

Fate/Zero was written afterwards as a light novel by Urobuchi Gen. It was a prequel that expanded on past events talked about in the F/SN VN, and was written with the intent that readers finished all 3 routes of the visual novel.

As for the anime adaptions, Fate/Stay Night (2006) by Studio DEEN was an adaptation of the first route of the VN (Fate), but also tried to incorporate parts from the other routes (therefore spoiling them) and did not portray the main character (Shirou) correctly, leading to an overall mediocre adaption. They also made a movie adaption of UBW, which compressed a 20 hour story into 2-hours by taking out most of the context that leads to each event. It's highly recommended that newcomers do not watch either adaptions by DEEN.

Ufotable's first adaption of the Fate series was Fate/Zero, which has 2 seasons (25 episodes total). Their recent adaption is of the UBW route, which has a Prologue (Episode 0), the First Season (12 eps), and the Second Season (13 eps). They've also announced that they'll be adapting HF into a trilogy of movies with the first one releasing in 2017.

There are currently no plans to do a better adaptation of the Fate route, so the only way to experience that is reading the VN.

If you want to become deeply invested with the Fate franchise and want to enjoy it's story to it's maximum potential, the best way to go about that is to read the Visual Novel. Everyone who started with the visual novel and finished all 3 routes have absolutely 0 regrets with the way they approached the series. It starts off slow but most people get hooked half way through the Fate route. Once you've read all 3 routes, you can watch or read Fate/Zero while being able to understand and catch everything. From here, you'll have a lot of freedom of what part of the Fate franchise you'll want to delve into next.

Zero is arguably the best animated Fate.
