I need to give El-Melloi Case Files another shot, that was the first non-Fate* Nasuverse animation in a long time. Also need to check out Cooking With Emiya because frankly the slice-of-life bits of the VN are perhaps my favorite Fate thing besides the UBW prologue

Plenty of die-hards will tell you not to start with Zero
I started with Zero, loved it, became a big fate fan
