Anyone have any speculation to what the Junker will look like and if they’ll actually give him a name?
There’s no need. He addresses himself as [ore] and Yumemi addresses him as [okyaku-sama].

I’m definitely looking forward to this and I’m hoping that it will be at most a 2 hour movie (maybe 2.5 hours). Aside from that, I can’t wait to see Yumemi, the Junker and the Planetarian scene animated .

I think my might have broken my phone from the diet coke I spat out laughing at this when I finally noticed.
GG.
Well played.

For some reason, the fact that it’s still March 31 here makes me more nervous about this being a joke than if it were April 1.
The visuals in the background looks beautiful (meaning Toei isn’t in charge of this).
Sadly, not KyoAni either because you can tell they like to make everything in the animation, beautiful, but the animation was a bit plain to be them.
My bet is on 8-Bit or P.A. Works.
8-Bit because you can kinda tell similar animation styles from Comet Lucifer and the PV.
P.A. Works because they need something to save them from Charlotte.
Wasn’t there something like “SF” in the preview ?
April 1st is always a big day for Key.
I doubt that this was fake. No one would waste money for animating something just for a joke.

I just counted 40 frames(equals about 3 seconds of film) of hand drawn animation in the whole PV. The rest are just stills or CG. Please don’t pretend that any amount of useful information can be discerned from that. It’s most likely not even the same key animator that did the whole thing. The amount of people who could possibly have worked on this PV is astronomical.
Also I really shouldn’t have to point out how dumb it is to focus on animation studios; there are numerous videos out there that does it better than I can. Just look at how many different people and companies that aren’t 8Bit were involved in the animation of GnK http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=16140

Yes. I realized doing so is a stupid idea, but It’s just some fun speculation you know. Not meant to be taken seriously (if you couldn’t tell). Not everything has to be taken seriously. :love:
On other news. I can’t wait to see little Yumemi being animated 
Show the world your gorgeous self !

Based simply on the visuals of the PV alone… Does anyone have any idea which animation studio might have produced those clips?
From what I could tell by the scenery artwork, and character models (from what we could see) it looks somewhat like the style of PA Works. I could be wrong.
I do hope they animate parts of the Drama CDs, especially Hoshi No Hito.
I suddenly had this weird idea, based from the one scene of the junker opening the door, that the entire movie will be played from a first-person point-of-view. Just some food for thought

I’m not sure whether or not I’m 100% convinced this is the real deal yet, but regardless: building off of what @HeliosAlpha pointed out, there’s almost so little actual animation in this PV that I could be persuaded that it was made just to make this fake more convincing.
Let’s hope I’m wrong XP
You know, if this was a joke, I feel like they’d know it anger fans. In that sense, I’d like to think they wouldn’t do that.
But who knows lol
It is just so incredible! It took me at least a few minutes of staring in disbelief that such a thing could happen. I’m both so excited and so shocked :kudshock:.
Something I noticed is that the Junker says that he lost his gloves before he came to the planetarium in the visual novel but in comparison to the PV, where he is wearing gloves when he opens what I assume is the planetarium doors.
That would be disappointing for me. I’d like to see the Junker get some character design. But he’s what, a middle-aged man ? Oh Key. Give us someone that looks like Akio… If the original character designer does design the junker if it’s in a third perspective… Eeji Komatsu’s character designs for other works nowadays looks great though.
I actually thought the Junker’s clothes looked like Rei’s clothes for a bit.

One more reason that it’d be hard to think of this as a joke: ZEN, who has worked with Key before, has sent a congratulatory message on twitter.
This was posted shortly after the announcement from Key so it’s kind of impossible for him to have drawn it without knowing in advance… Unless he’s in on the joke

I have a feeling this movie is going to come out around fall since it would fit the theme, and it wouldn’t get in the way of Rewrite’s anime airing date during the summer.
David Production hype! Did they announce any staff too?
