trying to understand the fate series

Step 1: Watch everything regardless if its chronological or not. Step 2: Connect the story on your mind including the plots and events like a puzzle, piece by piece. Step 3: Consult your local psychiatrist.

They say that till this day he's writing the script for the long version

Damn he wasn’t kidding this really is the short version.

So, now we have one part of LONG VERSION. He's not fucking around when said: "This is a short version."

Sees someone trying to explain fate universe Me: Hey, that's hell you're walking into

Fate Franchise in a nutshell: There's no way that's canon ... Oh it's canon alright.

Fate is one of the few franchises that puts Kingdom Hearts lore to shame.

When Gigguk said : "This IS the short version" I felt that

Gikkuk in 2018: “don’t get into Fate GO.” Gikkuk in 2020: Spends $1000 trying to get Astolfo in Fate Go

“There is no way that is canon” “OH ITS CANON” Basically the whole fate series in a nutshell

"Read the Visual Novel" "I don't think I'll be reading that" "It has Tohsaka eating out Seiba while she gets railed by Shirou" "I think I'll be reading that"

Random person online: "Oh the pink hair girl from Apocrypha is so cute!" Fate fandom: maniacal laughter

Fate fans: we have a very complex timeline Fire emblem fans: at least you have a damn timeline

"And then there's a cooking spin-off." "I don't think I'll need to watch that." "It's a setting where the characters are happy." "I think I'll need to watch that."

The worst part is, after watching a lot of fate, it becomes easy to understand this video.

I was out of the anime zone for about...10+ years. One year ago I watched this video and I took the advice: I've read the visual novel. And I fell in love in the story and in the soundtrack. Then I watched Fate/Zero. I didn't know I could fall even harder, but I did. It's SO good. Since then I've watched most (I guess) Fate's. Then I started some other popular series (Attack on Titan, Jujutsu Kaisen, Demon Slayer and some others)... and I can't get out of this rabbit hole. You did this to me, Gigguk. I'm obsessed now. Thanks to you, I've found joy during this shitty last year.

Me watching this before watching Fate: ???????? Me watching this after watching Fate: dude that actually makes sense

Me: I wanna get into Fate My Friend: That's hell you're walking into

After watching Gigguk's long version this actually makes a lot more sense now

After putting hundred of hours into fate from 3 years ago... This is actually make sense...as short as possible
