Why is fate series so popular? And why do people watch it?

its just a chuunige

dangerously erotic

>>160252575
You need to lurk for 2 years before posting. Go read the VN.

The franchise pretty much covers everything but the main draw is ero ero and chuuni action. Also can be extremely humorous.

>Harem show.
But the men are hot too, anon.

1. Ridiculously chuuni powerlevels bring in action/shonen fans.
2. Waifus bring in ronery otaku.
3. The setting PREMISE is actually really open and really great and as we can see, easily rehashed over and over while still being technically unique as independent entities (as in, they could largely stand mostly on their own for better or worse if the original source material didn't ever exist).

Type Moon hit a fucking gold mine with the Grail War idea. Takeuchi is milking Seiba a bit hard at this point and it shows even in the meta jokes becoming accepted in canon ("Saberface"), but at the same time there's still no reason to stop because Saber merch won't stop printing fucking money.

>i also need the most updated Don't Talk to Me Saber version that I haven't yet saved but know exists

Is the VN better than the anime?

Ive also lurked for more than 2 years and the stuff ive seen in board are mostly related to "post X" "post x material" or even "why is x so perfect".

Ive never bothered fate threads seeing as I dont even know the series/games/novels. I wanted to know whether it is a series with a good story before wasting my time watching. Hence this thread. I barely posted any threads so let me know if I broke any rule within /a/

>>160253009
If I were to watch the show which order should I start first? What is up with all the shows it has as well? There was this loli show and then theres 2 shows thats basically rehashed versions of the first fate anime but with diffirent main characters and mc

Why don't you spend some time actually trying to watch a fucking show for yourself? We don't exist to give you recommendations you faggot.

>>160253299
Is it wrong to ask if a show is worth watching from people who watch it in /a/?

>>160253421
Not that anon, but yes.

>>160253299
But isnt this an anime discussion board as well?

Watching Zero and Illya Prisma is fine, but that comes after reading F/SN; if you can't be bothered to read VNs abandon the series altogether
It's slightly out of date, but this is what /a/ is supposed to respond to this question with

>>160252575
Well what kind of shows do you normally watch then, if your taste is so much above the Fate series?

>>160253421
Yes.
>>160253497
Yes, anime discussion, not anime recommendations you fool. /a/ mostly consists of threads where people who have seen something discuss it with other people who have seen it. Not for people to discuss a show with someone who hasn't actually fucking watched it.

>>160253421
It is when you post as obnoxiously as possible.

>>160253540
Why do I have to play those fighting games and watch another show about vampires? Is that even related to fate stay night?

Damn so much stuff to do lol anon

I just wanted to watch fate stay night anime. But now it feels like somewhat chore. Many thanks anon. I will somewhat follow the guide but is it alright to watch/read anime/vn first before playing the games? Or will it butcher and make me not understand te storyline?

>>160253113
Just read the VN, the anime didn't adapt everything yet.

>>160252575
Kill thyself

>>160253602
Im not bashing the fate series but its just that it looks like a genre that I used to watch but have grown out of. I have watched my share of generic harem shows before. But i like shows like spice & wolf, Log horizon, tri-gun bebop and fun light hearted shows such as dagashi kashi, non non biyori and sorademo machi wa

>Spice and wolf
>Log horizon
>Bebop
Are you still enduring your <100 phase?

>>160253602
Oh and another note. Im enjoying virgin soul so far. Its great

>>160252575
Just watch Fate/Zero then disregard everything else. Ignore fags who recommending devoting 90+ hours to the VN because muh source material wasn't properly adapted.

>>160256363
recommend*

>>160255307
>reffering
>100 episodes?
>animes
Oh anon, there really is no saving you. I'd say lurk more but even lurking at this rate might not help.

Well at least Fate Zero was good, i dont care about the "muh VN" faggs, FSN is garbage i only watched it cause i wanted to see how bad could it be.

>>160253540
This sounds like a chorelist. I'll play what I want, how I want, to whatever completion percentage I want and talk about it however I want. P.S. suck my cock faggot

>>160252575
>chuuni

Of course it's chuuni. It's anime. ALL anime is chuuni as fuck. You should have realized this by now.

I just fap to Illya Prisma and leave it at that. I don't even know shit about the story.

>>160254842
You really don't have to play the fighting game, that's just a side thing.

Reading the VN alone is sufficient but at that point if you've made it through all three routes you're probably interested in watching the rest of the anime out there.

As for Tsukihime, cross that bridge when you get there. If you're feeling it then go for it, but don't let that massive wall of text in the image deter you from even starting Fate.

All in all Fate's pretty good. Would recommend
