The very first Fate series of 2006 adapted the Saber route. The reason to put the Fate Zero series at the very end is that fans love the fight scenes and the top notch animation- the sakuga. This order is for you if you want to savour the best bits at the last. This movie is NOT for people who haven't read the VN or have at least seen UBW, as this movie skip some elements already explained in UBW.Fate’s story revolves around the Holy Grail War, an epic battle royale in which mages summon legendary figures from across history to fight for the wish-granting power of the Holy Grail itself. This allows some anime original content to be put in, and a better understanding of the characters. Some of the story elements were changed to fit the movie slightly better than if it were a carbon copy of the VN, and those changes I can appreciate a bit more. It's also good to mention that the composer for "Fate/ Zero" came back to Fate to compose for this trilogy, so there are traces of Zero themes to be heard throughout the movie. The sound designs, and the soundtrack is memorable and complemented the scenes and animation very well. Many of the fight scenes were very fluid and well animated, and the designs were improved, as a different director took the spotlight in the trilogy. Ufotable turned the scales up to an 11 with their animation. This film exceeded my expectations by A LOT (they were pretty low considering UBW). With these elements in mind, I was a bit hopeless on how this adaption would turn out. The entire series was a mess, pacing wise, the characters were very boring and overall the transition from VN to an animation on screen was incredibly underwhelming and executed badly. When its sequal, Fate Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works came out, I was very disappointed. The prequel to this series, Fate/ Zero has garnered a huge hype for future Fate adaptations by ufotable. I found this film to be very entertaining, as a fan of the Fate series. I watched this film the first day it screened nationwide in North America. The animation and the fight scenes that Ufotable pull out is at god tier level that worthy the title "Unlimited Budget Works" although some of my favorite character get limited screen time but I'm happy that the anime introduce me to my new favorite servant "True Assassin" because that guy (for the time being) is the true MVP of this anime. Presage Flower that I finally get some answer and because there still 2 more movies so it still too soon to compared which route is the best but I can already tell that Sakura gonna win the "most tragic backstory" of the Fate series. Of all the character in the OG Fate series Sakura stick out for me as the most boring and bland character when she often just there to be a cute and loveable potential romantic partner to Emiya Shirou the main character even though in FZ and UBW I can guess what kind of life she live under the god forsaken place that is The Matou household but not until Heaven's Feel - I. To all the people who know nothing about Fate and want to get into the series now I suggest you guys watch Unlimited Blade Works first and not Heaven's Feel because this is the anime adaptation of the third route from the original visual novel that dedicated solely to Sakura Matou a major character which mean for the beginner the introduction of the cast and the basic premise of the Holy Grail Wars gonna be very rushed to make way for the new story so for the beginners it can be a rough start even for me a fan of the series.
