The series has a complicated history of adaptions.When the fate franchise was still early, DEEN studio was given rights to do a fate stay night anime. they did an adaption of the first route of the visual novel in 2006(which is where i started fate back then in high school). It wasn't done particularly well but has nostalgic value and certain redeeming elements.DEEN in 2010 did a movie adaption of the second route, unlimited blade works, it was very rushed having to fit in an hour and a half time period, and the content suffered, although i didn't think it was so bad.DEEN lost the rights after that and Ufotable got them, which they then used to make 2011's "Fate Zero" adaption of the prequel light novel. It was well received. This gave them incentive to do 2014's Fate Stay Night Unlimited Blade works anime series adaption.In addition to this, there have been other anime spinoffs like Canival Phantasm, Grand order and such, but they are not considered apart of the main fate stay night material.If you want to know the story, i always say start with the visual novel as the anime adaptions are incomplete, except in cases where one is not used to or not into visual novels. Then i recommend starting with Fate Zero and then going to UBW. The story is incomplete and not in the order it was originally written in, but ufotable interpreted the story in a way where people could watch the prequel first and move onto FSN as if it were the sequel instead of the other way around.If you like those, then you can go back and watch DEEN's adaptions if your curious.
