Been wishing for a planetarian OVA/movie for many years now. Relatively optimistic that it's legitmate given Key's penchant for using April Fools for legitimate announcements in the past (Rewrite VN, Little Busters anime adaptation)

It's honestly the lowest I've seen these big companies go. Unreasonably skeevy even for anime standards. As I pointed out on the last page, they actually drew cleavage on the 10 month old. That... no! Toddlers don't look like that! It's a joke, so some aspects are intentionally ridiculous, but the cleavage thing really strikes me as "I don't know how to draw anything that isn't fanservice". |

Google out-April Fooled itself just after a few hours online!
"Google pulls ill-advised ‘mic drop' April Fool joke from Gmail" http://www.theverge.com/2016/4/1/11344044/google-gmail-mic-drop-button-april-fool http://pic.twitter.com/Maw8a6VUSA But they're also getting into the VR hype with their own actual realty headset "Cardboard Plastic": https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VkOuShXpoKc "Cardboard Plastic is the world’s first actual reality headset, complete with 4D integrated perspective, 360° spatially accurate sound, 20/20 resolution, and advanced haptics for realistic touch sensations. Expertly crafted from polymethyl methacrylate, Cardboard Plastic is lightweight, waterproof, and engineered to last a lifetime—no batteries, no wires. And unlike other VR headsets, it integrates seamlessly into your life—so you’ll never miss a thing." ** 
[** Note: also works with all apps.] Oh here's another one, heheheheh:

No mention of how Love Live School Idol Festival changed the girls on the home screen into the Alpacas?

That's not an April Fool. It was reported a couple of days ago: http://techcrunch.com/2016/03/30/be-very-afraid-hell-has-frozen-over-bash-is-coming-to-windows-10/ |

Submission for Part III: JAFAX, an anime convention in Grand Rapids, Michigan, has decided to live up to its name and focus entirely on fax machines and related Japanese paper-based telecommunication technologies of the 1990s. Their home page announces the new theme as "Reboot and clear all paper jams!", and the official t-shirt design is an official "J-fax" fax cover page.

Most of the April Fool's announcements look nearly authentic in which one might assume some of them are real unless they've made a closer observation.

Yeah, you might put up a warning, that Sonico site is SERIOUSLY not safe for work. I get that it's an April Fools joke, but wow...

I'm disappointed, ANN. You did not mention Nitro+Chiral's traditional ぼぉいずらぶ games. http://www.nitrochiral.com/chiralhonpo/
And shunga art.
