TheOmniPantheon said: Is there a significant difference between the movie and the anime, other than the studios? Or is there an actual order to the two? They both adapt the very same Route (story/timeline). However, you can imagine that cramming a story of around 20h into a 1h45 Movie was not a very good idea... In the end, the Movie can be considered as a recap, with cuts and time-skips everywhere. If you wanna watch it, do so after the TV Series of Ufotable. Unironically, the final fights are more faithful in the rushed Movie than in the TV Series of Ufotable, tho. Oh, and if you are not aware, the Unlimited Blade Works story should be watched after the one of the Anime from 2006.

Natedog22 said: You don’t need to watch the 2006 tv series either, I didn’t on my first watch. If you don't, you are skipping the only way to see the development of Saber in the adaptations. (It was only summarized in a 30 seconds scene toward the end of UBW) You indeed do not "need" to watch it to enjoy the rest, but then what would you "need", exactly ? You can creates holes everywhere in the story and characters, and still enjoy the battles, for example. Natedog22 said: It’s just a weird amalgamation of all the routes from the vn. The core is still the Fate Route. In reality, there is only very few infos and references to UBW and HF. |

| I like the movie much more personally: Better direction, designs, fights and music. More faithful to the vn IMO. The tv UBW series is enjoyable as a complement too, well, both complements each other. And yes, likeAlexioos95 says, the 2006 anime is the Fate route, with very small content from other routes. Very faithful too. UBW tv series also have Fate route content. |

| This movie is far better than the 2014 series. The only point of the 2014 version is for Fate/Stay Night newcomers who didn't watch the 2006 anime. |
