Wow, I'm lmao at this D.C.II B.L. The guy with the ribbon in his hair really takes the cake. I'm using the wallpaper as my background now...

The Canned Dogs, Akihabara Channel, and Heisei Democracy blogs have posted lists in English.


Aw, I wish the others would have been posted here. I found Vocaloid 2's third character voice being Norio Wakamoto and Type-Moon turning into... a wrestling site to be extremely funny.

Key's Rewrite is much less likely to be a mere April Fool's joke.

There are likely many people who would actually buy that game...

I'll admit the Honey and Cloverfield gag did make me chortle somewhat.

Shoot! I was hoping that Mira game from Danny Choo was real. Oh well, maybe in the future!

Moon Phase Zakki has reported it again today (it's April 2 here already), as well as links to staff blog and 07 Expansion's diary, plus Key has Rewrite as its top banner on the official site.

Guess it's safe to open a bottle of champagne now. Anime smile

What was it? I just got a mail saying preorders are open but what was the gag?

Curses, I miss 4/1 and now all the gags are taken down. *sniffle* At least Yahoo Japan Invaders was kinda fun. I can rest easy having gotten to see aliens condemn Yahoo's simple site design by blowing it up. (not that I have a problem with Yahoo's setup, I just have a thing for intergallactic destruction.)
