My exposure to Fate/ was in the order of Zero then Stay Night, which from what I have heard is a [i]horrible[/i] way to start the series. 

In my defense, they were both on Netflix. With all this hype I've been considering getting into the Nasuverse. I'm not entirely sure where to begin though. I've heard and read many differing opinions on it.

Edit: It also doesn't help that much of it has not been officially localized, and is out of reach for me
