Details at Moetron here, along with the OP itself.

The song is not bad, though only the full version will tell if it’s anything special. Still, some inconsistencies with the boomerang size worry me. Anywhoo, that’s the first leaked spring OP, though it airs in like three days anyways so it’s a moot point.

So what we can learn from the OP:

1: Lolis run the show. Seriously, there’s a girl with a boomerang, what appears to be a Tian Zi clone, and some chick with a teddy bear who seems to be in charge of some giant mainframe thing. I ‘unno.

2: In the future, we will have lots of mime-tranvestites. Or at least, poorly attempted ones.

3: Tanks blow up when they get their cannons sliced by a boomerang.

Another April Fool’s Day, another day of pranks and outrageous hoaxes, and yet another birthday for me. Since this post has been automated to post at midnight, I don’t have a comprehensive list of this year’s best hoaxes from the US. Maybe I would if I had the ability to leap through time, but I already used all my jumps on other trivial things like oatmeal cookies and parachute pants. As a consolation prize, here’s a small sample of otaku related hoaxes for your enjoyment.

So anyway, happy birthday to me. Old Noirsword is old and broken.

Edit: One more. Have a Star Radish. I also wanted to post a link to the PC-98ish retro Idolmaster prank, but it’s already been taken down. I wish the Japanese otaku hoaxes would be kept up a bit longer, but most of them have been taken down already.
