Watching Fate/stay night on disc?Complete box sets save a lot over buying season by season. Some links are affiliate links: as an Amazon Associate, Kitanime earns from qualifying purchases, and we may earn a commission from other partners. It does not change your price.
Not sure where to start?The watch order page lists every season, film and special in order, with which extras you can skip.

Totals multiply each entry's episode count by its average episode length from anime-offline-database (ODbL). Only released entries are counted; announced seasons are left out until they air. "Skip openings and endings" assumes about 3 minutes saved per 24-minute episode.
