      Fate is pretty easy nowadays. Just start with literally any series made after 2011. They’re all self contained stories that explain the premise within the first few episodes.

      We’re a long way from the old days where you had to read the VN if you wanted to have any idea about what was going on in the UBW movie.

        Just start with Zero. It’s a prequel that lays out the narrative devices of the series while being a pretty neat story in itself.

      I’ve never watched it: I just read the hentai doujins. It gave me a better idea of the story.

      Fate is only difficult for people who are adamant about watching adaptations. And even though I do think the UBW anime at least reaches the threshold of “good,” it’s still inferior.

      Monogatari was much harder for me to keep track of IMO, Fate content you can start off with most of what’s available (vanilla Fate, Zero, Extra, Samurai Remnant, Prisma, Grand Order). I’d only not recommend Hollow Ataraxia or Apocrypha first.

      Where typemoon is concerned, Kara no Kyoukai is more headache inducing
