Fate is pretty easy nowadays. Just start with literally any series made after 2011. They’re all self contained stories that explain the premise within the first few episodes.
We’re a long way from the old days where you had to read the VN if you wanted to have any idea about what was going on in the UBW movie.
But after watching Zero anything else from Fate is just weird.
Like adults murdering each other with magic and famous people makes some sort of sense. Kids doing that is just… stupid. I tried the Stay/Night, UBW many times, and it just doesn’t hit anywhere near as well as the Zero did.
Fate is only difficult for people who are adamant about watching adaptations. And even though I do think the UBW anime at least reaches the threshold of “good,” it’s still inferior.
Monogatari was much harder for me to keep track of IMO, Fate content you can start off with most of what’s available (vanilla Fate, Zero, Extra, Samurai Remnant, Prisma, Grand Order). I’d only not recommend Hollow Ataraxia or Apocrypha first.
Where typemoon is concerned, Kara no Kyoukai is more headache inducing
DO NOT ASK ABOUT HOW TO WATCH FATE/MONOGATARI
Literally just watch Monogatari in release order. It’s out of chronological order on purpose
When am I supposed to play Melty Blood?
Any time is fine, as long as you’re in a bathroom, a stairwell, or the woods.
Any place is a good place for laptop grand finals.

I had a watch guide scare me off of Fate.
Just start with Zero. It’s a prequel that lays out the narrative devices of the series while being a pretty neat story in itself.

I’m just going to pleasure myself with this fish.
To be fair, the Holy Grail War in Zero is the last one that was kind of played by the rules, and it never properly concludes.
The events of the main routes all depict the fallout of the Holy Grail War going to complete shit, as it starts back up off-schedule.
I’ve never watched it: I just read the hentai doujins. It gave me a better idea of the story.
