🌌 Nasuverse Anime Watch Order - What You Actually Need to Know

Looking to get into the Nasuverse but new here? 😄

Here is an anime-only (no visual novels, manga or games) watch order for the major Nasuverse/Fate anime.

⚠️ Note: The Nasuverse is not a single chronological timeline. Many Fate works take place in alternate timelines/universes, so this is a watch order for the major anime, not one continuous chronology

🟥 CORE FATE

1. Fate/stay night (2006) (Saber Route) (Optional)

→ Fate route

2. Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works (2014–15) (Rin Route)

→ UBW route
(If You Are New I Suggest To Start Form Here)

3. Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel (Sakura Route)

→ The 3 part movie trilogy

4. Fate/Zero (Prequel)

→ Fourth Holy Grail War / Prequel to Stay Night
(Recommended To Watch Last Cause It Contains Spoiler for pretty much everything)

13. Fate/Grand Order – Divine Realm of the Round Table: Camelot

---

🟥 STRANGE FAKE

14. Fate/strange Fake – Whispers of Dawn

→ Fate/strange Fake TV series

A separate Holy Grail War, but with connections to many Fate concepts and characters.

---

🟫 OTHER MAJOR NASUVERSE

15. Witch on the Holy Night / Mahoyo

→ Anime adaptation coming; another major Nasuverse story.

16. Tsukihime

→ The 2003 anime exists, but it is not a good representation of the modern Tsukihime story. There is currently no complete modern anime adaptation.

---

⭐ THE SIMPLE VERSION

Stay Night → Zero → Kara no Kyoukai → El-Melloi II → Apocrypha → Extra → Prisma Illya → FGO → Strange Fake → Mahoyo

Do not try to force all of these into one timeline. Nasuverse = multiple interconnected worlds/timelines with shared concepts, lore and occasionally characters.

There you have it. 🗿
