@Duvet you like enigmatic characters. I can also see it based on your profile pic. noice.
@Duvet I can see you like psychological anime. love seeing a fellow monogatari fan.
cuz yeah as MrHatz4Patz says, Fate/Stay Night (DEEN) should be watched prior to Fate Zero if the pic is supposed be a chart that shows the order in which to watch the "Main" Fate series.
Fate/Stay Night has layers to it. Each route (starting with Fate/Saber route) builds off of one another. The complexity in storytelling is at its highest in Heaven's Feel. So if anyone wants to get the story of all three routes they should watch them in this order: Fate, UBW, and then HF. But if they want to watch Fate/Zero as well... well that's a different story.
Fate/Zero is meant to emulate a greek tragedy. The audience should be aware of the ending. The charm to Fate/Zero is the journey not its destination.
The best way to watch fate as far as I know is by the release order.
Fate/Stay Night (DEEN) > Fate/Zero > Fate/UBW > Fate/HF
I feel like this pic/spreadsheet is more of a categorical list than a chronological list.
@easybreezy You've got an interesting list. I love the fact you have a nice mix of mainstream and obscure anime titles as your favorites. I didn't really like "The Wind Rises". It wasn't bad. Anyways... loved Heaven's Feel (I)! Can't wait for Heaven's Feel (II)!
