There was a time when April 1 used to be a fun day, when writing "shocking news" about Blizzard developing StarCraft 2 seemed like such a jolly witty thing to do. But that was like 10 years ago, and since then, this particular day of the year has become one of the most dreaded ones (it does tend to suck not being able to rely on any source as a "journalist").
That said, there will be no April Fools' jokes here on Animekon today, and just to make sure, there will be no anime news - period. I'm taking the day off and will be gaming to my heart's desire (at last), and wish everyone a happy day full of lulz.
P.S. It just hit me: trailers should be less deceiving than news - so expect some of those.
April 6th, still no news. Makes me wonder if no more news for a week is the April Fools joke.
In all seriousness, I know you're just taking a break from distributing news about the most important thing in the world, delicious cake. But, hurry up and post some more news because I'm getting hungry.

The joke was on me, in the end. This was a totally unplanned break, but I gotta admit: it was all the more enjoyable.
And so was the delicious cake!

Yosh! Done rounding up the anime & manga news we missed this month, I'll try to give the list a publishable shape tomorrow. No promise, though: more festivities (and cake) await...
