Fate fans are losing it over Gigguk saying you can start the Fate franchise with the new Fate/strange Fake anime. In a recent clip, Gigguk explains that the show could serve as an entry point for new viewers, echoing what the anime’s directors told him in an interview. Despite this, some fans on Twitter reacted like he was committing a crime, even though he’s simply offering a simplified starting point—not claiming it’s the best or only way to watch. For newcomers, Fate/strange Fake’s episode 0 and episode 1 provide enough context to follow the story, making it a legit way to dive into the franchise without jumping straight into the visual novels. This video breaks down why the fandom’s reaction is over the top and why more people should be encouraged to start here.
