In Depth Fate/Series - Type Moon Universe guide!
(Last Update: January 30, 2020)
As the title suggests, if you want the whole experience behind Fate/Series from the very beggining to it's very core
so you understand everything that happens so far you can follow this guide.
In order to create this guide, i mostly followed the airing order of each series, because i think it's the correct way
as the creators intented to be watched. And that's how I originally watched it.
NOTE:
If you just want to watch the MAIN SERIES ONLY you can skip this part and go to the main series section of the guide.
Now Let's go to the main series.
This is where the main series guide end. Beyond this point most of the other section is more like general information, alternative paths,
in depth explanation, alternate universes and many things left unexplained on the main series. ie. Mystic Eyes, The Root, the 3rd Magic,
The Holy Grail, the Holy War etc.
At this point i'll highly recommend to watch the main series first, before you start watching any of the rest, because they can spoil
many parts of the main series and the universe surrounding them.
NOTE:
You can skip series No. 15 if you want with no worries, as it's mostly a parody BUT at some points it provides some information about
certain things surrounding Fate/Stay Night and the Holy Grail war.
NOTE:
I'll highly recommend to NOT skip No. 18 & 19 series, even thought it gets dull or tiresome at some points, as it provides huge information
about almost everything surrounding Mystic Eyes! Something that is not provided so far on any other Fate series and will help you understand
many part from the main series! Especially Fate/Stay Night!
There is also a comedy series based on Type Moon universe.
NOTE:
I haven't watched this one yet so i can't provide any info about knowledge or timelines. I'll update it upon watching!
I will update this guide as new series are released.
Thanks for reading and i hope it helped you get a better understanding about the Fate/Series or Type Moon universe in general.

IMPORTANT NOTE:
At this point i want to clear things up as many get confused about the Fate/Stay Night series.
Fate/Stay Night, Fate/Stay Night: Unlimited Blade Works and Fate/Stay Night: Heavens Feel
IS NOT the same anime or a remake/reboot of it's predecessor! They are 3 different anime.

who becomes a warrior in a battle between "Servants" known as the Holy Grail War. Through each route, Shirou bonds with
a heroine and confronts different mages who participate in the war.

| 1) Lunar Legend Tsukihime Alternative Titles
Synopsis Shiki Toono sustained a life threatening injury as a child, and due to that incident he was sent away from the Toono household and was given to a relative to be raised. Years later, when Shiki is in high school, the head of the Toono household—his father—dies, and he is ordered to move back in by his sister Akiha, who is the new head of the household. However, Shiki holds a huge secret. Ever since that injury, he has been seeing lines on objects, and only with a special pair of glasses is he able to stop seeing them. Also he is unable to remember anything well from the time before his accident. The day he moves back to the Toono household is the day he stumbles upon a woman named Arcueid Brunstud and decapitates her with one stab of his knife in a temporary fit of insanity. When she suddenly showed up beside him later alive and well, and ask him to be her bodyguard, Shiki's journey to unravel the mysteries of his past begins.

| 2) The Garden of Sinners Alternative Titles Synonyms: Kara no Kyoukai, The Garden of Sinners, Borderline of Emptiness, Rakkyo Japanese: 空の境界 the Garden of sinners Synopsis A teenage girl, who possesses the "Mystic Eyes of Death Perception," a supernatural ability that allows the user to see the "death" of everything in existence and kill the object by destroying its "origin." She recently recovered from a two-year coma caused by a traffic accident. Prior to the traffic accident, she originally had two personalities, a male personality named Shiki (織), and the original female personality Shiki (式). Children born into the Ryougi family are generally male and are raised with two personalities, so the male personality is customarily called the "yang" personality, while the female is called the "yin" personality. It is easy to tell which Shiki is speaking at a given time because they both have a distinct style of speaking, most notably that the female Shiki refers to herself with the pronoun watashi (私), while male Shiki refers to himself as ore (俺). After waking from her coma, Shiki discovers that she can no longer feel the male Shiki's presence and assumes that he died because of the accident. She also feels a detachment from her memories before the accident, and while she knows she is Shiki, she does not feel that she is. In the hopes of regaining herself and the "dead" Shiki, she puts on a cold facade that somewhat resembles the male Shiki's and tries to act as the female Shiki did. Touko understands the sense of detachment Shiki feels, but considers the current Shiki a third, new personality. The series is regarded as being set in the same world as another TYPE-MOON series, Tsukihime, with Aoko Aozaki's sister Touko Aozaki being featured in this series and the protagonist of the series, Shiki Ryougi, possessing the same abilities as Tsukihime's protagonist, Shiki Tohno.

In desperation, Shirou summons a Servant of his own, a knight named Saber. The two must now participate in the Fifth Holy Grail War, a battle royale of seven Servants and the mages who summoned them, with the grand prize being none other than the omnipotent Holy Grail itself. Fate/stay night follows Shirou as he struggles to find the fine line between a hero and a killer, his ideals clashing with the harsh reality around him. Will the boy become a hero like his foster father, or die trying?
