After watching Fate/zero, or at least half of it, i decided to pick this up. First thing I noticed is how much better the prequel is in almost all aspects. They've done alot of things right in Zero which they failed here. But let's not get into that.
Fate/night is a mixed bag. I enjoyed it to some extent. The biggest annoyance by far is the main character. Therefore i can't enjoy the series to it's fullest as he is just always there. I understand his part in this story i just wished they would have made him different. The premise is exciting. There is just so much right with the whole Fate /world. It could really be something epic if executed right, instead it is ambivalent. Still it touched me somewhere in my empty soul and i think it did to many people so they got that part right. Just one thing...Sakura's brother got killed and the next day she cooks and smiles as if nothing happened. She did got sad for a second but it seems it was for a different reason. |

But, aside from that, it's another case of Deen screwing things up. The VN makes her sadness at his death a lot more obvious. Although, then again, smiling through sadness isn't exactly something Sakura finds hard.... |

The Fate/Stay Night anime and movie are bad adaptions and leave many important things out of it. Fate/Zero will be more enjoyably if you know more of about the characters and events of FSN (visual novel). Fate/Prototype OVA is different enough from FSN to see whenever ever you want, without getting spoiled. |

So the visual novel is basically a game that shows the same storyline as from the anime but with a bit more detail without any actual fighting with you controlling it? So it's just a text with animated picture slideshow? Something like that?

Imagine reading a book with an image to go with every scene (even if it's just a background, or background with a character avatar on it, though there's a lot of CGs). Add audio (vocals and BGM). That's what a Visual Novel is. It also has three routes, plus I think about 40 "Bad Ends" which actually give a good amount of characterization, as well as the awesomeness that is Tiger Dojo.
And yes, it has far more detail than the anime. |

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BA-3vWjVvs8& It's the beginning of a let's play of Fate/Stay Night. There is one more big difference between the visual novel and the anime. The visual novel tells a branching story and the anime a linear. Every so often you get a choice and depending on the choice you make you will get to see a different part of the story.

Yup, the only visual novels I've ever played are Fate and Tsukihime, both because people kept telling me the anime was a poor adaption (and in both cases I had liked the anime to begin with). They were very enjoyable. I'd even be open to more visual novels, but they are too time consuming nowadays

There are three routes in the game. The anime only adapts the very first one whilst taking a few plot details from the second and third one. Really you've only seen a third of the actual story. The next two routes are very different and are important in understanding the true story behind everything that's actually going on.

To be honest, he could avoid being in danger so often if he had more common sense but i guess that's just the way he is, manly and stuborn. A hero of justice I guess.

Still, I don't like Shirou at all, it doesn't matter how much I try I just can't, but being likeable or not doesn't change the facts that he is a very good protagonist, he has a defined personality and a good development, and pretty cool powers. Saber throw herself deliberately at danger, does that make Saber manly? |
