1
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:05,300
-Hi, can I help you?

2
00:00:05,400 --> 00:00:10,200
-Hi. um... Yeah, I was interested in the 
Fate franchise,

3
00:00:10,300 --> 00:00:12,900
-and I heard I could come here for more information.

4
00:00:13,100 --> 00:00:15,800
Oh come on in, make yourself at home.

5
00:00:15,900 --> 00:00:18,800
Look, we're always looking for new fans to 
join our cause,

6
00:00:18,900 --> 00:00:21,900
so we're here to make things as easy as possible.

7
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:24,200
You can ask me any question.

8
00:00:24,300 --> 00:00:26,400
-Okay, so where do I start?

9
00:00:26,500 --> 00:00:28,500
-Except that question.

10
00:00:31,000 --> 00:00:33,800
-Is there not a beginning?

11
00:00:33,900 --> 00:00:35,700
-Do you want the long version or the short 
version?

12
00:00:35,800 --> 00:00:36,500
-The short version.

13
00:00:36,600 --> 00:00:38,200
-So in the beginning, there was Fate/Stay 
Night,

14
00:00:38,300 --> 00:00:40,300
which is a visual novel with three different 
routes,

15
00:00:40,400 --> 00:00:42,500
Fate, Unlimited Blade Works, and Heaven's 
Feel,

16
00:00:42,600 --> 00:00:44,800
which needs to be played out in that exact 
order.

17
00:00:44,900 --> 00:00:48,700
Now the Fate route has been adapted once 
by Studio Deen in 2006 as an anime series,

18
00:00:48,800 --> 00:00:51,000
Unlimited Blade Works has been adapted twice,

19
00:00:51,100 --> 00:00:52,500
once by Studio Deen as a movie,

20
00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:54,800
and once by ufotable as a full series,

21
00:00:54,900 --> 00:00:58,000
who are also adapting Heaven's Feel, but 
only as a trilogy of movies,

22
00:00:58,100 --> 00:01:00,500
only of which, one is out at the moment.

23
00:01:00,600 --> 00:01:02,200
-I thought you were gonna give me the short 
version.

24
00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:03,600
-This is the short version.

25
00:01:03,700 --> 00:01:05,990
So, technically speaking anime-wise,

26
00:01:05,300 --> 00:01:07,600
the 2006 Deen adaptation is the beginning,

27
00:01:07,700 --> 00:01:09,600
and serves as a good introduction to the 
world.

28
00:01:09,700 --> 00:01:12,600
-Okay, so why can't I just start with that?

29
00:01:12,700 --> 00:01:13,500
-'cause it's shit.

30
00:01:13,600 --> 00:01:13,900
-Oh.

31
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:15,600
-'kay, in terms of main line adaptations,

32
00:01:15,700 --> 00:01:17,700
only the ones by ufotable are worth watching,

33
00:01:17,800 --> 00:01:20,500
but you can't start with Fate/Stay Night 
Unlimited Blade Works

34
00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:22,000
because that spoils Fate/Zero.

35
00:01:22,100 --> 00:01:23,300
-What's Fate/Zero?

36
00:01:23,400 --> 00:01:26,100
-Oh, well, it's just a prequel that takes 
place before Fate/Stay Night

37
00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:31,000
