No lie: I’d watch that Takagi-san prequel.

Kit Kat
New flavor: Kit Kat Okonomiyaki (but written in English as "'Kit Kat' Tempura")

Knowing the range of flavors in Japanese snacks/drinks/chips/what-have-you, are you absolutely sure this is a April Fool's?... Very Happy

Froggy~<3

Tsukiuta did more Heartbreak Red takeovers.
Tsukipara did a magical girl thing with Arata, You, Tsubasa, Ichiru, Nozomu, and Kensuke.

Pythadol (or Rejet in general?) had Kuma D (the blue bear thingy) take over and... turned them into babies. And magical girls? And made them all fall in love with the bear... yeah...

This was all on Twitter.

I haven't seen anything about Toonami airing the first episode of the new FLCL last night. Wasn't that great, but that's still a pretty big deal.

I would honestly love to see a Dragon Ball Z and Precure crossover movie.

Kit Kat twitter link has an extra - in the URL so it leads to a 404 not found. I'd definitely try the savory flavors if they ever introduced them though.

Obviously, most of these anime-related events are going to be "fake news" and many people are aware of that. However, it's when a title or event gets the green light, they were fooling you in thinking it is just a prank. For example, last year's articles had a listing for anime called "Just Because". We later would find out that show would air in the fall.

Oh what I wouldn't give for that crossover between Thunderbolt Fantasy and Touken Ranbu, especially if Munechika was the one xing over as shown in the picture. :sigh:

It hasn't been picked up here yet, but the IDOLiSH7 smartphone game went absolutely nuts:
- Two new title screen images. With pudding!
- The home screen was replaced by "Tamaki the Run", a basic kinetic platformer starring Tamaki on his quest for pudding, complete with F2P banner ads along the bottom.
- And just as you're thinking you couldn't eat another bite, a special image in the announcement box on the actual home screen took you to a character creator that let you dress up and color your own King Pudding. Like this one.

Would also watch that Takagi-san prequel.

Though considering in scrolling down the twitter feed thats linked it took a grand total of 10 posts before someone lewded the loli, maybe best they not make it. Way to ruin everything beautiful internet.
