    I woke up at 10 AM Yesterday, and I haven't gone to sleep since then lol. (Almost 36 hours now I think?) That's how you don't do it.

    Assuming each episode is around 17 mins or so.
    Did the math, 10.1 days of 24 hours to actually watch One Piece.
    Not that much.

    I think my record for staying up is only 24-28 hours, haven't ever gone past that(or needed to really).
    I'm horrible at trying to make myself stay up when I need to.

    I just skip the openings and endings unless the songs are particularly amazing!

    I'm thinking of starting to watch Fate/Zero.

    What kind of anime is it?

    I usually do the same, but I took the maximum amount of time needed, so if you're rushing it, it will take less time obviousleesin.

    7 Mages fight over the "Holy Grail", this is called the "Holy Grail War", these 7 mages may each have one or more servants: (Archer, Saber, Lancer, Berserker, Caster, Rider and Assassin). The story focuses on the main character Kiritsugu Emiya who wishes to end all war in the universe, by obtaining the "Holy Grail" and getting it's wish. He gets to have the servant "Saber". Story involves the 7 mages fighting/killing eachother, with known heroes/villains from history as the servants in their quest to obtain a wish from the grail. With neccesary plottwists and stuff.
    In a nutshell. (Genres are Fantasy/Magic/Supernatural/Thriller/Action).

    A fairly mature and dark anime with plenty of tragedy. Lots of doom and gloom where cynicism reigns and stuff.

    The premise is more or less that it's time for the fourth Holy Grail War, a war where seven mages summon a Servant each to do some fighting. Whichever magus and Servant is the last one standing after the fighting will have their wishes granted. Naturally, all is not as it seems and nearly all of the participants are amoral nutjobs that you really don't want running around freely, but who am I to judge?

    But yes, it's a worthwhile watch if you enjoy dark and grim tragedies. Plenty of fighting as well, but that's not really the main focus of the anime.

    I wasn't expecting it to be, that's why I enjoyed it, even though I didn't think it was that dark or anything like that.

    I saw there was a series that was going on before this one. Fate / Stay night I think. Should I be watching that before I watch Fate / Zero or is that not necessary?

    Fate/Zero is a prequel to Fate/Stay night, so despite the fact that it was released later, it's arguably better to watch Fate/Zero first so you won't spoil the ending for yourself so quickly.

    Fate/stay night came first and focuses on the 5th holy grail war, the VN is better then the anime.

    Fate/Zero is a prequel and a much better anime.

    If you want to watch both, watch Stay Night first. I told the same to Grading before, if you watch SN after Zero, you'll be dissapointed that it's worse :/

    If you just feel like watching Fate/Zero though, I suggest just watching that. (I started with F/SN first, then watched F/Z).

    Yeah ok, but would it be a big difference if I didn't watch Stay Night? If not, then I'll just watch Zero.

    VN stands for Visual novel. or the original works more or less. The anime is an adaption of it. :x

    And well, while Fate/Stay night is worse as an anime, I still feel that it kind of sucks that if you watch it first, you'll already know how Fate/Zero will more or less end. Up to you, though.

    I'll just start watching Fate / Zero then! Thanks for the help. ♥

    Nah, Stay Night is just what happens after Zero. It's kind of contradictory because chronologically you should watch it first, but if you watch it first, you'll be dissapointed that Stay Night isn't as good. I'd say just watch Zero as a standalone series.

    On an other unrelated note for the other more known anime fans: I was watching Mahou Shoujo Madoka Magica where Mami just got her head chomped off by a Jack-in-the-Box Witch or wtf it was. And I kinda realised I probably shouldn't be watching this as the last show before I go to bed. ^^ And now I have no other new anime episodes to watch before I go, argh.

    Fate/Zero and Puella Magi Madoka Magica have the same lead writer (Gen Urobuchi), so cutesy girls suffering grisly fates shouldn't be too surprising. And yes, might be unwise to watch that kind of stuff before bedtime!
