Manga de Wakaru! Fate/Grand Order

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)

OMEGALUL

i refuse to put every prisma illya entry on this list

Anime by Type-Moon sorted by release order Part 2. (NOT watch order!)
Part 1: (https://myanimelist.net/stacks/19328)

This is a continuation to the first list with the same premise.

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

Explanation how the anime connect to each-other etc.

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

Spoiler free :)

!!This Stack is not Finished Yet!!- I update the description box of the anime after I've watched them.

BONUS : I am going to humbly try in this stack entry to give you a comprehensive timeline watch order. Lets call the Fate parallel timeline numbers 1 to 4 and you can start your watch order from whichever you'd like, personally I recommend this order:

1. Fate/Prototype

2. Start with Mahoutsukai no Yoru (not yet released) and the time line splits into three
A) Tsukihime (links to Carnival Phantasm)
B) The Garden of Sinners -> 2-4-3-1-Extra Chorus-5-6-7-8-Mirai Fukuin.
C) Tsuki no Sango - which happens in the distant future (year 3000) so you can leave it for last.

3. This parallel universe start with Garden of Avalon (watch at 9anime). When the Third Holy Grail occurs we have four possible timelines:
A) Fate/Apocrypha (Alternative to the Fourth Holy Grail War where it never happened in Fuyuki City)
B) 60 Years before the events of Fate/Zero happen, something occurs on Earth thus we have Fate/EXTRA: Last Encore in the future(year 3200).
C) Fate/Zero - prequel to the Fifth Holy Grail War. Then watch Fate/Zero Caffe.
In an alternate universe Fate Ilya: Oath of Snow happens which allows for all the C.0)Fate/Kaleid Liner Prisma Ilya events to happen.
C.1) Lord El Melloi series happen just 2 months before Fate/Stay Night.
After Lord El Melloi we have the three routes.
D.1) Fate/Stay Night
D.2) Fate/Unlimited Blade Works - D.2.1) Another outcome of this timeline is Fate/ Sunny Days
D.3) Fate/Heaven's Feel
In a parallel universe after the end of the Fifth Holy Grail War, Today’s Menu for the Emiya Family happens.
D.4.1)After them we have Fate/Strange Fake.
Starting from D.1 - D.4 all link to Carnival Phantasm series.
All of this timeline except C.0) links to Fate/Grand Carnival

4. Now there are multiple events from Timeline number 2 and 3 which trigger this timeline that happens in the near future. These events are the First Holy Grail war, The Fifth Holy Grail War and the Garden of Sinners. However the main event that catalysis Fate/ Grand Order is when Marisbury wins the Fifth Holy Grail war.
Then we have Fate/Grand Order. Now this is how you watch this series in Order:
4.1) Fate/ Grand Order Absolute Demonic Font: Babylonia - Initium Iter.
4.2) Fate/Grand Order - First Order
4.3) Fate/Grand Order - Moonlight/Lostroom
4.5) Fate/ Grand Order Divine Realm of the Round Table: Camelot - Wandering; Agateram
4.6) Fate/ Grand Order Divine Realm of the Round Table: Camelot - Paladin; Agateram
4.7) Fate/Grand Order: Absolute Demonic Front - Babylonia TV series.
4.8) Fate/ Grand Order Final Singularity - Grand Temple of Time: Solomon
This timeline links to Fate/Grand Carnival.

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 Fate/Strange Fake, the Fate Series is completely Over.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________


After completing Tsuki no Sango (Coral of the Moon), the Nasuverse is Completely Over.

____________________________________________________________________________________________________________


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

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

All animated Fate/ works and Nasuverse that have been published so far. As of 2024, January. To the best of my ability and research. And yes there is a Tsukihime anime for those who didn't know.

All anime, OVAs and spinoffs created. Some ads for mobile games and crossovers were excluded since there are too many and virtually no content in them. They are organised using the "newest" auto-arrange function for Interest Stacks. No idea if they are actually chronologically organised.

Kinoko Nasu is a Japanese writer famous for creating the Fate/ series, the Fate/Grand Order game, Kara no Kyoukai and Shingetsutam Tsukihime.

His writing style is different and his more esoteric work is very niche. His most popular works are more restrained than earlier novels and short stories. He is quite prolific, to the point that even the animated portion of his work is 72 items long.

Most of his stories deal with apocalypses or magic rituals that affect the world. Most of his work has a small dab of wacky logic or comedy that finds it's way into what he does.

Find [part old] of this interest stack for the remainder of his more niche catalog of animated content. This includes the first Fate/stay night series, Tsukihime and Kara no Kyoukai series!

Release Order DESCENDING

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
