Actually, Key has a tradition of making big announcements on April 1st, they don't make april's fools jokes.

they kinda do one time they announced that rewrite would be a adult visual novel in the same way as the first version of little buster ecstacy and later confirming its never going to happen. another thing proving this is true is that key visual arts president began posting pics of himself with a mask on with kanji on it and once read together it said dengeki you idiot!
edit: actually ignore the first part turns out they really only made one troll announcment and that was the rewrite 18+ thing.

Then I am currently not impressed with what's been given and severely hope more animation talent is added.

Its a basic promo of an anime that probably won't even air until 2013. Its fine for what it is.

i kinda doubt that since if they already have a promo then it probably will air in fall or summer especcily since this probably isnt kyo ani.

Eat a dick, Maeda Jun.

not trying to be mean or anything but...why the hell and how the hell would this be a april fools joke? they made a whole new site and posted this video on their offical chanel on youtube and i really doubt they would go that far JUST for a april fools joke. also to anyone who can read japanese what did the text say that was popping up on the screen? and yeah key also does this they usually announce one thing on april fools and then make one joke and this is probably their announcment for april 1st.

get over yourself. the anime also doesnt even air til FALL. so of course its just pans. also, its only 1:35 AM in Japan on April 1st.....this video was posted on March 30th. Not an April Fools joke. The only ones who were posting this anywhere NEAR april fools was ANN

the only way i could think of this being a april fools joke is the site doesnt list the animation studio for the copyright but that has a possible explaination since key might not of wanted to reveal who was doing the anime yet and save it for the mag that way more people will buy it.

I don't take any announcements made near or on this day seriously. Sure ANN might not partake in April Fools, but that doesn't mean information given to them might be false.

For what its worth, Key specifically decided to put up this news on March 31st (according to the date it was posted on their website) instead of April 1st. If it was a joke, wouldn't they wait a couple extra hours to post it?

Yes, they do. Type-Moon partakes, and I've already seen a few from other places popping up. It look like pixiv might be doing one as well.

You are not! I think I heard once that the game was specifically named after the Pillows song, but I can't find any proof of that so I'm probably wrong. It wouldn't surprise me, though, since head-man Jun Maeda is such a rock music buff.

As happy as I am to finally see this glorious game getting an anime, im still pretty iffy on the character designs for the female characters and Riki. Given that the majority of scenes in the trailer are reproductions of CG from the game, its pretty easy to do a comparison between the two and I defiantly prefer the VN designs (on the fence about Komari's though, since I never was a big fan of her game design, and I like Haruka's new eyes).

Given that its early days yet, i expect this is more just a concept trailer than a full trailer for the series, so we may see some evolution as of yet.

baba confirms it via twitter http://twitter.com/#!/vavasyatyou (second most recent tweet and i dont know how to link individual tweets) of course it could just be part of the joke if this is in fact a april fools prank but i really doubt it.
