5 Anime April Fools' Jokes That We Wanted to Believe in 2024

How many of these did you actually believe?

April Fools’ is a weird day. Yes, there are a lot of funny and hilarious moments, but most of them come with this annoying feeling when you’ve been fooled and lied to.

To make this day a bit better, we decided to take a look at some of the news that wasn’t true, but we desperately wanted to be officially confirmed.

  1. Gojo’s comeback (Jujutsu Kaisen)

Gojo is a sore spot for the fandom, manga readers have been waiting for his comeback for ages now. They are so desperate that they would believe any rumor and will try to find the clues even in such things as a Volume cover art.

Although Gojo is not officially back (for now?), fans found April 1 the perfect day to joke about him being alive. And we have to admit that we were really upset that this news was just a joke.

  1. Season 2 announcement (Frieren: Beyond Journey's End)

This joke was anticipated, but it doesn’t mean that it didn’t hurt. Season 1 finished airing almost two weeks ago, but everyone is still salty that there hasn’t been a Season 2 announcement.

Fans expected the sequel announcement to happen right after Episode 28 aired, but it never happened, and now they are a bit worried due to the silence of official sources.

  1. Extra manhwa chapters (Solo Leveling)

This is another series that has just finished airing, that’s why April Fools’ is the perfect opportunity to make a believable story about the series.

A fan posted news about the Solo Leveling manhwa getting some extra manhwa chapters to commemorate the success of the anime adaptation and the finale of Season 1. Of course, the news was fake, but we really wanted it to be true.

  1. Date an Idol and Date a Magical spin-off (Date a Live)

A Date a Live spin-off involving magical girls and idols might sound like something bizarre, and a lot of fans quickly understood that it was just one of the April Fools’ jokes, but then we started thinking about it, and… it’s not actually a bad idea!

This is not something we’ve thought about before, but this is definitely something we’d like to watch.

  1. Hange backstory two-episode special (Attack on Titan)

Levi got his Choice with No Regrets special, so why can’t Hange receive the same treatment? We think it’s unfair!

Of course, it was just another joke, but just think about it. We don’t know much about Hange and her past, and yet she’s one of the most interesting characters in the series. Having Hange specials really sounds like a dream come true.
