I was wondering should I show my friend (who knows nothing about the Fate universe) Fate Stay Night Unlimited Blade Works? He is new to anime but really enjoys anime.

Yes, you can. But still, starting from the Fate route is highly recommended.
But the anime version is kinda old and bad, so whatever, skip it.

Watching Fate/Zero or Stay Night first is prefference. Each of them spoiler themselves D:

I kinda preffer starting from Fate/Stay Night. So, watch UBW, then go for Fate/Zero, if he likes it.

No, I'm afraid it's not possible. If you try, the screen you are watching on will implode in a black hole and Gilgamesh will exit from it and rape you in the ass with Ea. Don't try it.

I agree with this 100%

Start F/SN UBW (which is absolutely not crap so ignore everyone who says it is), then if they like it move on to F/Z, and if they still want more they can fill in the gaps by playing the visual novel.

If he can stomach abstract themes in a visual format, then yes.

Well kinda. the UBW anime assumes that you have read the VN and see/read zero but it is still an okay introduction.

Anime is good, fucking deal with it.

Yeah it's way better although UBW is based on the relta nua which has no porn :/

Just don't bother to show them Fate/Zero since its edgy garbage, sasuga Urobuchi.

It's possible to show your friend anything, but I'd think you'd want show him a series where something actually happens before episode 18.
There's no need for all this tension.

So imo stay night as a whole (in VN form)> zero however zero is better than any of the routes stand alone without considerations from the other routes. It's confusing.

It is physically impossible for you to show this series to your friend. Don't even try it man.

You can show him the series. But please try your best to keep him away from the fanbase. It will literally safe his life and make his watching experience better.

Yes. What the hell is physically stopping you?

If he/she likes it, he/she likes it. If he/she doesn't, he/she doesn't. If the friend does not care for it, then here are literally thousands of other shows out there.

The visual novel is the best experience. The anime adaptations just don't do justice to the worldbuilding and characterization of the VN. But with that said, UBW is not nearly as bad as people make it out to be.

If he doesn't want to get spoiled, either watch UBW and wait for Heaven's Feel, or just read the VN (the preferable option). Though if we're only talking about anime, then Fate/Zero is the best you'll get out of the Fate series in anime form.

If you're really keen on showing your friend, I go F/Z then F/SN UBW. F/SN is more of a spinoff apparently, kinda the equivalent of the Nagato Yuki spinoff of the Haruhi Franchise.

General consensus saying the DEEN adaptation was crap and treating it as a spinoff and not in-line of the "true" timeline. I'll have to search it...
