Fate/Apocrypha Recaps

A comprehensive watch order of the Fate series, which includes every entry of the Fate franchise and the Nasuverse. Courtesy of AEGC (Fate Guide): https://myanimelist.net/forum/?topicid=1866055

Since interest stacks only allow a maximum of 50 items, I'll do this one (1-50) and make another stack (part 2) which will include the remaining items that need watching (51-73)

Part 2: (https://myanimelist.net/stacks/19329)

HEY Newcomer to the Fate Universe. Hop in. This will take longer than you expected.

Explanation how the anime connect to each-other, brief explanations to get the concept of the series, you'll probably discover media that you did not know were part of the Nasuverse.

Since Fate as an anime has the biggest debate on how to watch it, the release order is the way to go.

Spoiler free :)

Hope you enjoy!

PART TWO is out.

On part two I'll also explain the time line of events in the description box.

Everything here is listed in order of what I believe is the best way to navigate through the Nasuverse. Part 2 primarily covers non-mainline TYPE-MOON works (i.e. spinoffs, alternate continuities, parodies/comedy anime, etc.).

Unlike Part 1 of this interest stack, these are mostly "spinoffs" and not 100% essential to getting into the Nasuverse, so the order will be much more loose. There will, however, still be notes denoting if they're "recommended" or "optional".
Also, this interest stack is slowly running out of free spaces, so when the time comes, I will be removing unimportant entries like the recap episodes to free up spots for unique anime entries.


PLEASE view this stack in the detailed list layout to see my notes with my reasoning for placements, alternate placements, etc.

Part 1 (Main Nasuverse) can be found here: https://myanimelist.net/stacks/23650

(the title also says it's the "wider nasuverse", but everything here is still mostly just fate lol)

Go to First Stack to fully understand the guide, which is prepared in chronological order.

Part 1 - https://myanimelist.net/stacks/32601

After completing Nasuverse, now we are going to Type-Moon.

Canaan is currently only work of Type-Moon which is not included in Nasuverse.

For those wanting to get into the fate series.
PLEASE NOTE: this is not a watch order, but a guide. Since theres no real order to watch them in and everyone has their own opinion, I will just explain what they are and you can decide which one you want to watch :)

Have you tried to watch the main saga but couldn't? This is the correct order and explained.

It is not so difficult to see the order of the main saga, it is only divided into 3 routes that you can choose by yourself.

-First we must start at the beginning, Fate Zero takes place 10 years before Fate/Stay night:

1.Fate Zero
2.Fate Zero 2nd season

It is now divided into 3 routes from the perspective of the protagonists Shirou, Rin and Sakura, where each of these routes tells the story of them and where each one is the protagonist in a route.

1.From Shirou's perspective:

-Fate/Stay Night 2006.

2.From Rin's perspective:

-Fate/Stay night: Unlimited Blade Works.
-Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works 2nd season.

3.From Sakura's perspective:

-Fate/Stay night Movie: Heaven's Feel - I. Presage Flower.
-Fate/stay night Movie: Heaven's Feel - II. Lost Butterfly.
-Fate/stay night Movie: Heaven's Feel - III. Spring Song.

Each person can choose the route they want or see them all together, of course different things happen in each one.

Now stories in parallel universes:

1.Fate/Apocrypha
1.1.Fate/Apocrypha Recaps
2.Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya: Vow in the Snow (2017)
2.1.Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya (2013)
2.2.Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 2wei! (2014)
2.3.Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 2wei Herz! (2015)
2.4.Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya 3rei!! (2016)
2.5.Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya - Licht Nameless Girl (2021)
2.6.Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya (Zoku-hen).
2.7.Fate/kaleid liner Prisma Illya: Prisma Phantasm (2019). <this one is not canon>
3.Fate/Extra:Last Encore
3.1.Fate/Extra: Last Encore - Illustrias Tendousetsu
4.Fate/Grand Order: First Order (2016)
4.1.Fate/Grand Order: Moonlight/Lostroom (2017)
4.2.Fate/Grand Order: Shinsei Entaku Ryouiki Camelot 1 - Wandering; Agateram (2020)
4.3.Fate/Grand Order: Shinsei Entaku Ryouiki Camelot 2 - Paladin; Agateram (2021)
4.4.Fate/Grand Order: Zettai Majuu Sensen Babylonia - Initium Iter (2019)
4.5.Fate/Grand Order: Absolute Demonic Front - Babylonia (2019)
4.6.Fate/Grand Order: Shuukyoku Tokuiten - Kani Jikan Shinden Solomon (2021)

They say all of these are just a spin-offs that aren't important to the plot. But for us Nasuverse fans, all of these are canon

Well, final part to just put every parody anime and things that you're better not watching (Kaleid specials).

Not gonna put from what world or continuity every works is from. Just writting what is funny and what is a NO (in my opinion). Also since this is kind of empty, I'm going to put the recaps and UBW movie here.
