autism

thats your problem

Dramatic irony makes for the best stories

The original is ASS

I learned that

Okay but Zero is written as a prequel

meaning

You consume the ORIGINAL first

I choked my way through like 3 ep and gave up

then the prequel

UBW is much better

If you want a "real" watch order

release order is and will always be a gay defense

then UBW, HF movies if theyre out

Then zero

IT literally spoils an important part of HF

Imma just

actually

Stick with my order of not

i would think UBW Zero then HF would be pretty good

it can't spoil events which haven't happened yet

it's written to set them up

ever heard of

reveals

Ok also

reveealing information

and etc.

it's a reveal to the characters in the show

Maybe perhaps Sakura's roots

dramatic irony

and what happened to her

Im retarded so i prob wont remember the spoilers

You also learn more and more about the previous grail war, or in general just learn about it

then zero allows you

to experience it

The reveal of the different houses in Stay Night, isn't as interesting as it is in Zero

what

it also spoils

illya

"spoils"

yes

it can't spoil future plot points

Isnt she the loli

that's not how timelines work

Yes

Spooky

it spoils illya's relation to shirou

^

Shirou doesn;t know it though

which is what matters

It's still an important plot point

I don't need to self insert into every series I watch

I don't need to be hooked along by big reveals like it's a Marvel movie

That still holds up nothing against literal spoilers to the plot

things that ruin reveals

and etc.

character backstories aren't spoilers

But they're important to the fucking plot

which is why they got their own series

but

they are indeed important, moreso than anything

The backstories and what happens, and what relations there are and what they mean

literally shape the story

you can't just say they aren't spoilers

because they literally CHANGE the plot

the story doesn't change by the viewer knowing character relations and understanding the significance of certain plot points and I think it makes Stay Night stronger for not having to rely on pulling "reveals" to front being a great story

it's a great story for so many reasons, it's the tragic conflict between 7 kids, who are unaware (but slowly become aware) of the entire history behind their conflict

7 kids

nice

kids

should have said people

only 7

RIP 4 of the Maesters

I think the viewer knowing the backstory, enhances the enjoyment of seeing the story in Stay Night

I can agree, that it's got less "twists" or big reveals

or however you want to frame the plot progression

but I don't think that's what makes Fate good

Zero literally lays everything out for you, and just says important details and things that are intentionally hidden from the consumer during the plot of SN, because it ASSUMES you have watched/read SN. The story most definitly does change a lot by the viewer knowing kirirtrtiitsugus relation to illya because it raises questions and causes you to know who/what she is. The story does change when you know rin and sakura are related it changes how you see what happens and makes you confused I'd say. The ""reveals"" or those plot points are integral to the story though, if you remove them you're just fed information that you already know. Like I said, Zero is MADE IN MIND with the idea that you have read SN, so it feeds you these important plot points. Going from SN to Zero allows you to see what all that "mysterious" previous grail war that's teased and prodded before hand is all about. It changes how you see kiritsigu in F/SN, because when you see him in Zero after SN it's almost jarring to see how he was, you see his change in personality. You see Kirei differently and etc.

None of what you said is wrong
