Carnival Phantasm is mostly based on F/SN and Tsukihime, but I’d recommend watching Zero before getting into any spin-offs. Because of the Tsukihime content, I’d also recommend becoming at least a little familiar with the cast by reading the Tsukihime manga before you watch CP, but if you don’t want to do that it’s not a big deal, the show is like 70% Fate and 30% Tsukihime.

It also has characters from tsukihime playing a big role too. But I think you could still enjoy the fate parts

you should watch fate zero btw

Since this is a spinoff of Type-Moon Universe animes, I would recommend you to take a peek at Kara no Kyoukai and Shingetsutan Tsukihime to get to know the characters.

You don't need fate/zero for carnival phantasm but half the skits are based around tsukihime so you need some familiarity with it. The tsukihime anime adaptation doesn't introduce all the characters so you are better off reading the visual novel.

Technically you can watch it but it’s mostly based on Type Moon series (F/SN & Tsukihime VN’s) so unless you are familiar with those or you watch those prior, you won’t be able to understand most of the references.

Man you don't even need to ask twice
Just start it and you'll get hooked
Half of this also covers tsukihime so even if you aren't familiar with tsukihimie I think you'll get what's happening

You absolutely do NOT need to watch Kara no Kyoukai to watch Carnival Phantasm. There is not a single character or reference from Kara no Kyoukai on this anime. I don't know why people make this mistake.
