This post is either a very elaborate joke or very ironic.

If I've never watched Fate, is Babylon worth following this season?

TL;dr Fate/Babylonia explanation:

So basicly there's an evil mage that wants to eliminate the human race. He used the 7 (?) holy grails and send them to different time periods in human history. They are supposed to alter the timeline so much that the world breaks apart. Those 7 different places× are called Singularities and the series/game is about going there, retrieving those grails and bringing everything back to normal so humanity continues.

Babylonia happens to be the 7th of those but they're all their own seperate little stories. Mash, the girl with all the ass-shots, and the MC will be in every story but the servants that show up will be different in every story.

Realistically speaking I think that's all you need to know?
The organization that sends them out to repair the world is called Chaldea, Dr Roman and Da Vinci are other important reappearing characters that basicly give support from the outside but that should be it more or less?

The only thing you would need to get into Babylonia is to watch the First Order OVA to get a general sense of what the situation is. The Babylon episode 0 would also help.

The FGO story is its own thing so you don't have to know any other Fate series. In fact a lot of fans got into Fate via the game.

Loli was a mistake.




That's utter rubbish. You clearly played the game and watched all the Fate series, so you aren't placed at all to judge whether someone who hasn't will be able to understand. Fate/Grand Order is clearly made for people who played the game. If you never watched another fate series you will have no idea what they are constantly referring. I watched all the fate series, and watched Fate/Grand Order: First Order and still have no idea what exactly is going on, other than a general sense of that these good guys are being sent through time to fight bad guys.

Nevermind someone who have not watched fate vefore, they have no idea what a "master" is, what a "servant" is, what a "command spell" is, what a "heroric spirit", what a "bounded field" is that are being refered to, and more things that would be spoilers. The anime never goes and tell you what any of these are because it assumes you already know. You don't know who these characters are, because they are never properly introduced, because it assumes you are already familiar with them.

Let's be real, the first five chapters of FGO are among some of the worst things I've ever had the displeasure of reading, and so as long as you have watched anything of the Fate universe and get some of the mechanics and terms it's not an impossible task to get a good chunk of the story without having played FGO at all, especially since the vast majority of the singularities are literally non-stories. The over world plot is also pretty barebones, you can just look that up or ask a friend to explain it briefly.

Just wiki what you don't seem to get (that's not a crime btw) and just go from there if the asses interest you. It's all shitty alternate history anyway and from what I know we're going to be robbed of real ancient Mesopotamian bromance/bros before hoes eroticism.
