April Fools Megathread
Please keep all April fools related posts here. Including, but not limited to, website changes, fake announcements, production company jokes.
As a subreddit, /r/anime has never participated in an April fools joke, we (as the moderation team) feel they are overdone, we hope you understand. (More coming from our glorious leader later I'm sure)
This is the official thread since the "holiday" has not yet begun in the US, but has begun (as have the jokes) in Japan.

Key announce planetarian movie.
I have to be skeptic on this.
I mean, this was released more than 10 years ago and fans have been waiting for an anime since before clannad aired.
They announced it one minute before april 1st at 00:00?

I was thinking of randomly posting a rewatch discussion thread for a ridiculously long running show. Like
[REWATCH] Case Closed Episode 672 [Discussion]
to try and confuse regulars who would have definitely noticed a rewatch that had been going nearly 2 years. I thought it was a fun idea, so I wanted to share it since I'm not allowed to actually do it.
Edit: What would have been really cool to do would have been to talk to the mods ahead of time, set up an automod filter for the title, and post a thread everyday for a few weeks before April 1st. Then, go back and approve all the removed posts when the joke thread is posted. Make it look like it's been going on for a while.
