Movie 1-7 is the Main story , while 8 is the Epilogue.
Movie 9 : Mirai Fukuin & 10 : Extra Chorus are just bonus , but they are really good , and Mirai Fukuin can helps you to understand a sentence said at the end of 7.

For the confusing part , depends on what you are talking about.
The watch order is simple : 1 to 10.
The story however , is way more confusing , especially since it's in a non-linear order.

If you are fan of the Mystery genre , Kara no Kyoukai is so much better than Fate , it's not even a competition.
However , the Action genre fans will enjoy Fate way more.

Watch it in this exact order for release 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,9,8,10 reason for 8 is the epilogue and 9 has events happen before the epilogue.

You can get the overall picture pretty easily if you try to remember the dates and pay attention to the dialogues.
But you'll most probably need a re-watch (or multiples) , or read explanations of fans to get all the subtilities present everywhere , especially because of the metaphores used. (Movie 1 lost a huge chunck of people with the Flying vs Floating of Tôko)

Overall , most peoples get the story of Movie 1-5 with Movie 5 , but a lot doesn't really understand the character of Mikiya , or the stakes of Movie 7. (Movie 6 is a little bit disconnected of everything else , 9 is a bonus story while 10 is short scenes about some characters that appeared in the previous Movies.)

But well , it's a story from the Nasuverse of Kinoko Nasu , so it's not surprising at all that it's a little bit confusing.

It's not that confusing if you just wanna enjoy it.
If you can handle Pulp Fiction, you can enjoy this story. Its only gettin confusing, as fate if you rly start paying attention to details, basically if you make it so ;-)

BTW, is the story finished with this in the LN as well or can i keep on hoping we get something new one day? xD

It's finished unfortunately :')


The Shuumatsu Rokuon side-story hasn't been adapted.
Beside that , Movie 6 altered the story of the Boukyaku Rokuon Arc.
But at this point , it's extremely unlikely to get an adaptation/remake of those.

there's also Gate of Seventh Heaven which is a recap, I'd recommend watching that too before movie 8, it adds some scenes and shows everything in the order that they happened which would clear some confusion.


It shows "just" 1-6 in order.
It's supposed to be the ultimate hyping/build-up Movie before the 7 , but if you pay attention to the dates in each Movies while watching them back-to-back/in a short span of time , he's not necessary.
