Reader’s Question:
I have a question about FGO! I recently started playing the game and got really into it, so I want to watch the anime. However, there are so many titles that I’m not sure where to start. Is there a recommended viewing order? Also, does Kiritsugu appear in the
anime? If so, could you let me know which series he is in?
Getting into the Fate Series: A Funny Journey
You know, diving into the Fate series can feel a bit like trying to navigate a labyrinth blindfolded. I remember when I first started watching anime, and a friend recommended Fate/stay night. I was overwhelmed by the sheer number of titles, each with its own twist and turn. But once I found my footing, it became one of the most enjoyable rides ever! So, if you’re just starting out with Fate/Grand Order (FGO), I totally get the confusion. There are so many different series and films, it can feel like you’re trying to solve a puzzle with missing pieces. But trust me, once you get into it, the pieces start to fall into place.
Recommended Viewing Order
From my experience, a good way to dive in is to start with the following: 1. Fate/stay night [Unlimited Blade Works] – This one was a game-changer for me. The animation is stunning, and it does a fantastic job of introducing the characters and the complex world they inhabit. 2. Fate/stay night [Heaven’s Feel] – If you’re in for a more intense ride, Heaven’s Feel is darker and delves deeper into the story. It’s a must-watch after Unlimited Blade Works. 3. Fate/Zero – This series is a prequel to Fate/stay night and gives you a deeper understanding of Kiritsugu. I remember watching it late at night and being absolutely hooked by the storytelling! 4. ロード・エルメロイII世の事件簿 (Case Files of Lord El-Melloi II) – A bit more of a side story, but still super enjoyable if you want to see more of the Fate universe. 5. Fate/Apocrypha – This one’s a bit different, with a unique take on the Holy Grail War. It didn’t resonate with me as much as the others, but it’s still worth a watch! If you finish the first part of FGO, then check out: – Fate/Grand Order -First Order- – Fate/Grand Order -神聖円卓領域キャメロット- – Fate/Grand Order -絶対魔獣戦線バビロニア- – Fate/Grand Order -終局特異点 冠位時間神殿ソロモン- These are all great follow-ups, and they really expand on the FGO experience.
Where’s Kiritsugu?
Ah, Kiritsugu! The man, the myth, the legend! He appears in Fate/Zero, which is where you’ll really get to know his character. I remember being blown away by his backstory and the moral dilemmas he faces. It’s intense, and honestly, it had me questioning my own life choices over a bowl of ramen! If you’re anything like me, you might find yourself snacking way too much while binging these series. I once finished three episodes of Fate/Zero while munching on way too many potato chips—my fingers were a greasy mess by the end of it! But hey, that’s all part of the experience, right? In the end, just take your time with it. Each series has its own charm and surprises. I’d love to hear about your own experiences watching Fate!
