I keep hearing everyone talk this series, especially now that Extello is out, but it never really caught my interest. However, I've started to wonder if I should give it a try, since everyone seems to like it.
How should I go about starting this entire series? There are so many animes and visual novels and games at this point that I have no clue how to go through them all.
Production order.

Just read the VN first
Read the VN, don't watch the anime.

If anyone tells you to watch Fate/Zero first, they are a fucking idiot. Do not watch Fate/Zero first. Don't be another retarded secondary.
That said, you must, MUST, read the Fate/Stay Night visual novel first. Nothing else in the series first. The visual novel is first and foremost and that's the only way to go about this series. You might think you can just watch the Fate/UBW of Fate/SN anime instead. Don't. You'll ruin it and you'll become a fucking secondary.
After that, read or watch Fate/Zero, or read Fate/Hollow Ataraxia. Doesn't matter the order. HA came out before Zero but it doesn't really matter.
After you've consumed those 3 works, go nuts or drop the series. You'll know by that point if you like it or not, and if you do, you can consume any of the fate media in any order (save the extra series, which should be played in order)
Just, for the love of God, do not watch F/Zero first. Read the VN first, cannot stress that enough.

additionally, just as a side note.
The VN has a pretty slow start, i almost dropped it. but you'll probably get hooked around day 7 or 8 of the fate route

It's simpler to just read the VN than to explain each and every Fate anime.

Read the VN if you want everything about the lore and characters explained to you. Watch anything if you prefer action and don't care too much about the background, or don't mind missing info and plot holes.
F/Z is the pinnacle of the animated Fate product, so I wouldn't advise to start with this, or you'll get disappointed after
Just play Extella. The 3 main girls are better then the F/SN ones.
