Yeah,i would argue that saber route is better with character nuances and drives,but thanks to the bad adaptation,it is nothing.

Zero isnt actually a route,it is a prequel to all the 3 routes.

Yes. It’s the most complex and more fleshed out part of the story so from the characters, the gruesome, the disturbing parts, the not so heroic and more human and down to earth reasons Shirou has to become “The Ally of Justice” of just one person and a big etc.
Heaven’s Feel is the best route out of the 3.

I liked Heaven's Feel more when I finished all the anime adaptations.
But reading the VN really changed my perspective on certain characters, and the UBW route as a whole.
If I were to pick one route, I'd say UBW at this point.
Stay night works better when you look at all three routes comprising one cohesive story. Which is told through the evolution of Shirou's ideal.

But yeah, I do believe Fate/Zero is the best to come out of the franchise. It draws out the best parts of all three routes; Fate's mythology and clash of legends, UBW's themes and character work; and HF's brutal cynicism.

Many people consider it so. It definitely is dense with highlights and climaxes of various build-ups from Fate and UBW. It's the last part of F/SN so it gotta end with a bang.

That said, my personal favorite is Unlimited Blade Work. The characters it focused on, their relationships, themes, and just the type of story it told really appeals to me. But this is from a perspective of someone who has read the visual novel.

Speaking of just anime, I'd say Heaven's Feel is the best realized one out of F/SN adaptations. Direction is just miles better than any Fate or UBW adaptation. Of course it's not without its faults, which mostly stem from very limited runtime the movie format offers. But overall it has a lot of flavor and heart put into it.

Unlimited Blade Works. The only interesting thing about HF was Rider popping off. UBW has Archer pop off which elevates Rin and Shirou who are the better characters of the story anyways.

That said HF is a much better watch because it was made into movies.

It’s close but Heaven’s Feel wins in animation, adaption, and story telling. I am also a huge fan of the three movie release style.

If you're into action then yes, if you like more romance, then it's UBW and if you're into shounen then Zero.

Imo yes, best animation for the adaptations, best character development (Shirou is actually an interesting character here), best plot in general + I'm one of the few who thinks Sakura is best girl so

Well for me, animation-wise this was superior than any other route but plot-wise I liked UBW way more than this route. It also depends on who you’re rooting for building the relationship with Shirou…if you’re rooting for Sakura then this is the route for you and if you’re rooting for Rin go for the UBW.

Saber's my favourite heroine, and UBW is my favourite route overall. HF has its good parts, like the world-building, Illya, Kotomine, and Shirou, but I'm not too big a fan of Sakura. It felt like the story and herself were doing everything they could to make me pity her, and by the end, it was just exhausting. She's not as likeable as the other heroines either, and her romance with Shirou felt a bit forced as well

I don't know whether calling them "fate routes" when fate is only one of the routes is worse, or the fact that this filled up with the ufotable horde so quickly. Sigh.
Well I for one already loved Lain.

plot is too heavy to present as trilogy movie there are so many details I felt is missing some character didn't take The attention it deserves like aracher glgamish I really hate death aracher by just cutting his hand wtf !!!!!! some relationship didn't take The attention it deserves like like relationship between Rin and Sakora !!!!
story is really so great but it's too heavy to be trilogy movies so UBW
was much better especially the story telling becuse every thing take it time to grwo up time to grow up
to be honest animation was powerful especially saber vs raider was one of greatest animation I've seen ever in my life
so yeah qualtiy of picture an sound is insaine with really a bad telling stroy
