My friend wants to watch Fate/stay with me, UBW, or the original?

[Jesta23]

I have watched both unlimited blade works, and the original, and read the VN. But it has been a long long time for me.
I cant remember exactly what the differences were.

Should I watch the original first with her? Then UBW if she liked it? Or UBW first?
I feel like I remember UBW was the better of the two.

UBW is better imo if you've seen the original, but the order doesnt matter since they're alternate stories, not connected.  You could always just watch UBW first since its just a movie, then watch the longer series if she likes it

Film may give a "chopped-off" feeling, due to time constraints. I'd start with the TV...

Indeed, if it really has been a long time its prolly better to start with the TV series to know all the characters again, otherwise its like "who is this again?" since they assume you know the characters.

Get out your laptop and your walkthrough and start clicking through those choices. Just pause during the ero scenes to make it extra awkward.
