Although I don't have access to CN anymore, I would have to say that based on what I saw on YouTube, this would certainly win the award for "most elaborate". After all, some of those shows they didn't have the rights to anymore, and would have needed to secure them for a single night. It was interesting that for the previews at least, they were showing scenes from the later Tenchi Muyo OVAs that they themselves never aired (unless they aired one this time). |

Due to the "license limbo" of the original two OAV, TV series, FUNimation couldn't give the rights to play anything previously played. The episode played was, IIRC, the first episode of the third OAV (I haven't watched the third OAV in a while, and I fell asleep at the start of it last night).

Fake trailer for an Owari no Chronicle anime based on the light novels by Minoru Kawakami. The anime is scheduled to premiere on TV in April 20XX.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3PWFbXoteHs I'm not sure exactly what this is, but this short SD Maple Story anime is referred to as a 2012 April Fool's gag: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zVPO0DFO8QE |

Otomate had "otomate TV" every couple hours it made a different page available with short little stories / illustrations for each themed program. (here's a screen cap of the main page since it's all been taken down link ) Each of the pages for each game had cross overs they were pretty funny ' u '
Honey Bee had turn it's Starry Sky Portal into something like a fake dating site? with a fake movie for something called "sta-sse" and had ads for "Over spring" "over summer" "over autumn"(parodies of the After spring/summer/autumn games I assume) as well as the ads were labeled with Honey Pee. (a couple screen caps since this has already been taken down too over winter over summer l mainpage top ) It only lasted for a little while~ It had horoscopes, and some extra info on the starry sky characters and what not it was pretty cute ' u ' |

If only the final episode of Gintama was an April Fool's joke... Come on, it was just a few days early...?

Naruto on a Gameboy. Even as a joke I thought I would never see something like that, even in a shopped image. . . . .

Capcom did a joke where they announced a new anime/music project that stars the girls of Rockman (Roll, Luna, Mail)
http://i.imgur.com/YAvbL.jpg Why they didn't use Misoria since she actually is a pop idol singer is beyond me. Shame it's a joke though, a moe anime starring the lovely ladies of Rockman would be awesome. |
