The Kaleido Stars one is especially cruel, I’d love a new anime. Crying or Very sad

The Apothecary Diaries: School♡Diaries
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0TCUTA3AjyA

Featuring Maomao as a 10th-grade transfer student into the private school Riihoa Academy. (The pinyin would be lìhuá, but the kanji aren't the same as the concubine -- she's 梨花, "pear blossom", while this is 茘華, the name of the empire and the "Ka" of the imperial clan's surname.) Xiaolan's in 9th grade -- I guess this school combines middle and high -- Shisui's also in 10th, Gyokuyou's a 12th-grader and the student council treasurer, Gaoshun's a physics teacher, and Jinshi's the 11th-grade student council president.

Level 5's Youtube page gives us this video for Fantasy Life (and several different languages; I'm picking the English one here) https://youtu.be/69HlFW9RpJs?si=g4hjpC11OAGvyPle

Man, everyone's doing school themes this year.

Is it me, or does the Re:Zero one remind anyone else of Here is Greenwood? Three somewhat normal guys and an androgynes one?

Bleach Highschool Warfare getting a novel by Ryōgo Narita. At least I think it's a joke lol. Than again he did write the Can’t Fear Your Own World novels, so who really knows

Yeah, if it was meant to be a joke it wasn't very funny, Kaleido Star still has a lot of fans worldwide, I saw some people reposting this annoucement in Latin American social media and one post has over 500 comments and it was re-shared by 3000 people, that kind of shows that there's a lot of potential in a new Kaleido Star anime. I hope that maybe this joke annoucement was perhaps done in order to see if there was interest and maybe now they can greenlight a new project.

Set at the private Rika Academy


The video and its description both give the furigana リーホア.

Considering Fate Strange Fake born from the 1st April joke and Narita certainly is a fan and writer of Bleach novels for a while, that sounds sus as heck for just an elaborate joke.

My condolences to Kaleido Star fans.

I'd play a Re:Zero Otome game.

Apothecary Diaries as a high school romcom surprisingly works.

The most foul April fools joke I suffered was on Reddit where someone posted that season 2 of Zom 100 had been announced. I thought it was true at first and I almost died once I realized what day it was. There was a PV and everything.

Apparently the PalWorld dating sim is not an April Fools joke but an actual game being made.
