Default April Fools Day: Reminder and consolidation

Just as a reminder to our older posters, and a notification to our newer posters, the AoD section of Mania.com does NOT participate in the posting of April Fools news. As there are bound to be tons of posts with false "news" out already or coming soon, please be cautious of anything you see. In addition, anything regarding this day's "news" that is not verifiable, please post to this thread, as this is the collection for it. Thank you for your consideration.

Thanks for creating the thread. Links may be NSFW.

Canned Dogs has a pretty good list of Japanese ones.

Some highlights include: Saber is now on Twitter. So is Shirou, but no gives a crap about Shirou. The main page has more, but some people, like Rin, are being tsundere and not posting anything.

Alcot, publisher of My Girlfriend Is The President, is releasing the Disappearance of Ouhama Yukino.

Queen's Blade has a theme park.

Angel has been renamed to Angel Eats. Maeda is now offering recommendations on bentous.

Railgun has taken over Sakure.ne.

Dorubako! looks nothing like K-On!.

OtoBoku gets a live action adaptation.

And lastly, Key continues their tradition of being a poopy-head and making a real announcement about Re-Write on April first: it will be 18+.

In the "filed under lame" department, Ken Akamatsu's annual April Fools joke this year is basically him suggesting that the Negima manga is going to end this summer.

Sorry, but the Negima/Hayate crossover joke a couple years ago is a way better prank than what was pulled off this year.

Pretty much as a rule April Fools jokes that try to sound serious kinda suck. It's much better for it to be obvious it's a joke, but still really funny. The ones Draneor posted were really good.

And damn I love that image of Saber used in the twitter background.

The comments are great too. She's constantly talking about food. Her last comment was about taking a bath.^^

Oh, and Rin finally started posting.

The Type-moon and Queen's Blade are my favorites so far - I laughed out loud at the the last picture on Queensland's page regarding the 'stage show'.

99.99% sure this is a joke like the Tsukihime thing a couple years ago. Hen Da Ne is claiming they are partnering with MangaGamer to release physical copies. Hen Da Ne, inventor of the Yuri paddle, selling of doujinshi and yaoi--known to all convention-goers nationwide.

And yes. I'm still bitter about Tsukihime. There are somethings you just shouldn't joke about.
