Ok so the only fate series I have watched is fate 2006 version, and man that was horrible.
I mean I just forced myself to complete it.
And my main problem was not animation, as I am ok with average animation if it has good story and characters like record of ragnarock.
But I found the characters very irritating like mc is so naive that he fights a servant himself despite knowing the difference between their powers and tell Saber to not fight who is like 1000th time stronger than him and why, because he is a fool.
And that Loli and rin was also annoying and Saber was a ok character.
Only archer manage to get my interest.
And I have heard that sakura brother is asshole who rapes sakura and I don't like that stuff.
And the story was also a 7 only.
So my question is should I watch fate other 2 route or just watch fate/zero as I have heard it is best fate series .
And how much other fate 2 route differ from 2006 version as I am someone who hates rewatching.
If there are only minor changes and mc is still annoying then I will not bother with it.
And is there here anyone who first watch 2006 version and hated it but then he loved other fate series .

Fate/Zero is dull because they butchered all of the characters from the original except Waver and Alexander.

Fate/Zero doesn't have Shirou until last episode of second season so you can watch it.
The story is also good or even better than Shirou's.
I love Monogatari Series

I watched 2006 first and while I didnt like Shirou at first either I'm glad I can say he gets better in UBW and especially in Heavens Feel

Watch UBW after 2006 and make sure to pay close attention to Shirou so you're not one of those guys who thinks " Zero is the only good Fate "

Yes. F/Z is like THE BEST fate series.
All characters are mature with pretty decent motives.
I will suggest you to watch this one for sure!

Based on the OP, you should just watch: https://myanimelist.net/anime/37033/Emiya-san_Chi_no_Kyou_no_Gohan

Watch Ubw then Zero, or you can watch the 2 Stay Nights and continue Zero.
The Stay Nights may have similar story and the same characters but each have different themes and 2006 is obviously known as a bad adaptation.

I originally watched the 2006 version and yeah it was a sub par adaptation. But I believe that by watching that you get a decent understanding of the world and it improves the enjoyment of the other routes and zero. I would say that you should watch zero next and then watch unlimited blade works and then heaven feel. the different routes are vastly different from each other with each having slightly different themes and different characters get the spot light and if you liked archer in 2006, you will love him in unlimited blade works. I hope you enjoy the fate series as it is easily in my top 5

Yes you definitely should go and watch fate zero. The story structure is very dark and you won’t see things like Masters going up against servants. I recommend you to watch at least Fate Zero because Ubw brings up a few things that you don’t like but it’s execution is so much better than the 2006 Fate stay night

The problems that you listed in fate stay night are not present in fate/zero.
It has good animation, op, ed, ost.
Its character are way more interesting with better development.
Its more mature and has an overall better writing than fsn.

I think you should watch this one and judge it yourself whether this is better or worse than fsn.
If you enjoyed the time you wasted, then its not a waste of time.

fate/zero is the best fate. the characters are less naive and steroetypically “anime-like”, story is better imo, fantastic animation, and just better in every way u can think of. the main characters are entirely different apart from saber. sabers master (the other mc) is way better than shiro and is an antihero. i strongly recommend fate zero, give it a chance and if u dont like it then dont watch more fate

If you don't like fate/zero, you can just skip to fate/SN UBW and then Heaven's feel. You already finished the 2006 F/SN, congrats.

Zero isn't necessary but it helps the experience of watching both UBW and HF as ufotable put in references to Zero in both adaptations.

Story wise, you're supposed to experience Zero after completing the 3 F/SN routes anyway.

being secondary has nothing to do with disliking Deen stay night, this was a horribel take and it ironically backfire making it seem you like deen/stay night

It's a masterpiece although I recommend reading a visual novel first since fate zero is a prequal and contain spoilers.

this is why I don't recommend people to start with FSN 2006, it might be the first one to come out but it definitely doesn't create a good enough impression for viewers to continue. Fate/zero is a prequel FSN and it has different characters except for some. I personally think Fate/zero is a masterpiece and best Fate series ever. And after Fate/zero there's Unlimited blade works and Heaven's feel trilogy which are different versions of FSN 2006 that focuses on different characters with a different storyline and has absolutely great animation. The main character in FSN becomes better in UBW and even more better in Heaven's feel.

ubw is basically a different anime altogether: it's more about Archer and Shirou himself than anything else. If you liked archer, hopefully not because he appeared "badass", then you are gonna like it a lot. Also it looks infinitely better

btw Zero is like the fourth season why are you watching it

I would have started with Ufotable’s later version. I am not gonna watch the old one probably, but you should have watched Zero after Unlimited Bladeworks. Zero is usually ranked higher but I like UBW more.

You need to read the Visual Novel. Every anime adaptation of /sn and its successors ruins the thing.
