Anime Watch Order: Fate, Monogatari, and More

Some series have complicated timelines. We break down the correct watch order for the most confusing franchises.

Most anime are simple: Season 1, Season 2, Movie. But some franchises require a PhD to understand.

The Fate Series

• The "Correct" Order: Fate/stay night: Unlimited Blade Works (TV) -> Fate/stay night: Heaven's Feel (Movies) -> Fate/Zero (Prequel).
• Why: Fate/Zero spoils major plot twists in Heaven's Feel.

The Monogatari Series

• Order: Bakemonogatari -> Kizumonogatari -> Nisemonogatari... actually, just look up a chart. It's complicated.

Conclusion

Don't let a confusing watch order scare you away. These series are often the most rewarding ones to get into.
