The mobile game School Girl Strikers replaced it's entire cast with cats, becoming IIRC School Cat Strikenyaas . Quite well done, and took me by surprise since I forgot it was the 1st of April.

EDIT:
Doesn't seem to be on their official site, but it's on their twitter: https://twitter.com/sgs_pr

I'm torn between laughter and sadness because I would totally want to see some of these silly ideas become real.

I would watch Saber-san, and I would enjoy it with my entire being.
Lancer's face is too much for me Laughing

I'd love to watch 'the phantom thief Lapin'. (But is it a thief who is a phantom, or someone who steals phantoms? We'll never know.)


Oh, and "Key also announced an anime adaptation of Planetarian" -- was just a joke? I'd really want to see that, damn it all! Key finds yet another way to rip our hearts out.

The Itoh Hiroyuki joke is actually from last year! (It's telling that the products list on the bottom doesn't include Rin and Len V4X, which was released last December.) Since it's an old joke I doubt many people are going to be fooled, but I suppose they brought the site back for the spirit of things. (The press release for Miku's Galaxy Tour claims it's a product that's already being sold and that they're bringing it to the event to meet demand.)

The person who wrote the blurb on Rejet's april fools missed pointing out the biggest part of the joke. While it shows charas from series like Dance with devils it's stars 5 of Rejet's Oniichan charas(Whom all lean to the yandere side of things).

I'd love to see Rory as a Mahou Shoujo, but her chest was too big.

And I want that SAO dating sim, especially if it has Yuuki.

I think it should be noted that

is very highly probably NOT a joke. They put a lot of effort into that PV and they have a history of making REAL announcements on April Fools. The rest of the things they said are very obviously a joke and the Planetarian announcement just doesn't fit the mood. It's not even funny. Obviously there's still a chance it could be a joke, but it would be in extremely poor taste. I think the joke is making people think it's a joke. We'll see in 16+ hours I guess.

I would love to watch that purely because Syaro is amazing lol. But yeah, like I said, I higly doubt Planetarian is a joke.


edit: That Sonico thing is just too low >.>

I sure hope so! An anime adaptation of Planetarian sounds great! Though I suppose it wouldn't be a full series, but a movie instead.

Phantom thief as in gentleman thief.
Like Lupin.
(that's the pun)

I also think Planetarian is real. I hope it is.
