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
*I know it's a sequel to Fate Zero but it's also not a Magical Battle Game so I feel it's different enough to be distinct

I should give it another watch through
I ended up being pretty underwhelmed by it despite loving Waver and mystery stories
A little too much nasuverse magical jargon for my taste
It'd be interesting to do a direct comparison between the Nasuverse and Nisioisin's Monogatari series, both are immensely dialogue- and lore-dense and thrive on urban contemporary fantasy set in Japanese suburbs, but I feel like they do very different things with those building blocks (and each have their own sets of problems)

But honestly, it ain't that big a deal

The issue is that both spoil things about the other and Zero is very clearly the better of the two but also the prequel.
Humor can be dissected as a frog can, but dies in the process.
whenever I ask which fate anime to start with everyone tells me to read the vn first and it kinda turns me off. I don’t want visual novel! I’m watching anime for a reason

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