Fate Stay Night's "New Fourth Route"

Today, some more information about the upcoming Ufotable remake of Fate/Stay Night arrived. I must say that I've got some mixed feelings here. Honestly, I think that every Type Moon fan in the world was expecting an adaptation of Heaven's Feel. But rather than a Heaven's Feel adaptation, we got news that it's going to be a brand new story by Nasu, with an atmosphere closer to Fate/Zero than Fate/Stay Night. What do I think? I guess I'll list off my hopes and concerns here.

Raikoh's Retro Reviews - Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos


???: "WAIT!!!
The longest night must end eventually. Darkness melts away as the morning fills the world. People call this the dawn!"
Devil Satan 6: "Who did that?!"
Rom: "You don't deserve to know my name!"

That's it. That's all you need to know. Because once you've seen that, you've seen pretty much the entirety of Machine Robo: Revenge of Cronos. But, of course, there's more to it than that. For those of you who aren't in the know (which is probably around 95% of you; this is a really obscure series) Machine Robo was a 47 episode 1986-1987 television anime. It was characterized with consistently poor writing and bad animation that just gets worse later down the line, but it still holds a special place in my heart. It's not nostalgia, oh, no, I saw this show like half a year ago. It's what I'd call "badass." Look further for a full review.
