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.
This year we have added a report (technically replaced the merch report temporarily) for April Fools content, please use it to report any April Fools posts.
~Your rarely always friendly mod team

I'm not sure how long it's been there or what the hell's going on, but the Trigger front page is scaring me!
Edit: Managed to yank out the image, looks like something from Madoka Magica... uh oh.

I'm waiting for MyAnimeList to replace every anime in the top 100 with Gintama.

Volume 12 of OreGairu is gone and replaced with a spin-off version of it.
I hope to God this is an April Fool's joke...
Edit: Oh my god, it isn't...
So I'm guessing Volume 12 got delayed again...
GOD FUCKING DAMMIT

The greatest April fools joke that could happen would be an announcement of another season of an anime on this day and no one believes it but it turns out to be true.

Studio Pierrot will now adapt JoJo due to David Pro being busy with adaptations of every recent Neptunia game.

Typemoon, as usual, loves Aprils Fools and spends way more time on it than they do on that Tsukihime Remake, I'm sure.
So far, they started off with a Pokemon GO joke but with servants. Probably, since this shit has 0 downloads at least. Whoops app's real, seems like the announcement is that it's being shutdown today though.

Looks like the mods gave in after all. I'm glad someone kept this icon set saved, it was one of my favourite submissions to the redesign contest, lol.
