Well, if I had to choose one of the suspicious post we had today and yesterday, I'ld go with this one for been an april fool joke. :P And well, I used to read Megatokyo back when it started but after a while it lost the spark I liked about it and stopped reading it since it had became too boring for me. ^^;
pretty much what tourak said..
I kind of like Megatokyo for its story. Its been a while since i havent read any for the last 4 years or so. Have the paperback versions (volume 1-4) of the e-comic but i dont have the latest one (Volume 5). My only gripe about the comic is the slow development. But others think otherwise. Congrats on the aquisition... (hold a milli-sec, this better NOT be an April 1 Prank... XD).

For what it's worth, it's still April 1st here in Canada. Man, timezones are confusing.
crap... i was tricked... hook, line & sinker XD. well, such is life. ;D i can at least celebrate that i was not born on this daet, coz if it did, my entire life would be one big practical joke LOL. X'D
April fools aside, Megatokyo got boring real fast after the second or third volume.
I LOL'd hard at this news.
Best News EVAAAAA! LOL
Danny that's enough...stop joking 1th April is ended! Do you want make me really upset? ^^
Danny's drunk :P
Another joke? You do make em seem real though. NICE
hey hey! its 7 o'clock there in japan! first is ended!
Its still the first for soem of us I guess ^^
Lol I love all the april fools jokes. People on the net don't seem to understand timezones though. >.< it's only 3:15 in the afternoon, still Tuesday the 1st here in cali.
*facepalm* You know, Traditionally, April fools jokes are only supposed to occur until 12 noon! Not entirely sure why tho. Doesn't look like anyone pays attention to that rule anymore either.
I can't see Fred coming up with 5.1 mil. Nor can I see Sarah letting him part with it, not with a new baby in the house. Anyway Dom's cosplaying in Seattle at Sakura Con, not negotiating trans oceanic mergers. April Fools
Please, somebody stops Danny, he`s going conquer the world! First, the Mirai eroge, and now this? You are a monster, a devil, who will be your next step, evil master?! LOL
April Fool's Day everybody, this is fake.
Hi all! This is my favorite site. Great job Danny! I hope this new deal does no t prove restrictive.
Dont know what's megatokyo at all. And I will not believe anything I see today. =P
You're a day late for April Fool's, Danny.
this is the true april fools right? your calendar broke, danny?
That is insane. 5.1 million, bring it on!
Lol, win & win through...
Wait....I don't understand. How are MegaTokyo & Danny Choo related?
Never mind, I get it now. Yeah, this is gotta be a joke.
Doing April Fools for the western world people, eh? Yeah, I know, I'm one of them. It is tripping me out to see people say how April Fool's is over with, though it's still April 1st here. I guess some things you just can never get used to.
LOL your pranks are just getting abit overboard.
Oiiiiiiii Danny! I'm surprised and much disappointed you ended being on the losing side and that you accepted the contract without even trying to discuss prices and conditions! How much amount of money for the bribing? I'm sure that if we create a special fund we will buy you back as well as your company! Yeah, we will save you! ...No, in the name of Suzumiya Haruhi, please don't tell me you ended broke buying a share of Nitroplus, that the latter went bankrupt and that you have been bought for a piece of bread! It's...impossible! Nooooooooooo~!! I was certain that with your funds and resources it would be YOU that would have absorbed them for breakfast. How far from the truth I was... Why has it to happen? Why?! why!!! Comrades, let us take arms! We will not let this injustice seize this community anymore! Fight the Power!!* ... ... ... and Setsuna-san, I believe that not only Danny's calendar is broken, but his comments counter is as well. XD *Of course I lied all this time, you think I've turned nuts or was geassed? Oh maybe I did/was. Guess I'm good for Arkham now. Hey Joker, 'sup man?
Danny become a dominator and create a new site...DANNY YOUR THE BEST!!!!!!!!!
no jowy, the truth is that Danny has been eaten whole for breakfast. He couldn't even raise the white flag before that. It was such a battle with an odd atmosphere... I still can't believe our leader fell like that... But we will not give up! Let's fight or die fighting!
ermmm...so i guess you'll be changing the website to megachoo.com eh? >_<
Ahhhh taking advantage of the time differences I see......
You had me going for a second, but then I thought to myself, "You know, Fred isn't really the global domination type." Plus the 3 updates a day line... :D
Love the jokes, it's brilliant. Would be happy for you though, if this was a true one. ^^;
Ahhhh I been fooled!!! lol
if not a april fool prank. Iam Sure you have thought everything through and must have done a good Buisness deal(as i have thought that you have a good buisness sense). i just hope this site continues to give the entertainment to us and information as it used to.
Danny, you should fit the two banners in only one slot, just a reccomendation ^^
still... some oddities make me wonder xD
びっくりした！ It must be a joke, it's a april fool, even the number of comment are jokes, there doesn't have 1500+ comments in Miracle Mirai post, here doesn't have 340 comments neither. ... ... I like Miracle Mirai joke, not this one
Yeah... I don't think people fall for jokes anymore... esp on April Fool's megatokyo was not a fun read...
~gasp~ have you read the post on the megatokyo site, danny? O_o "All that’s left now is for Danny to wake up and discover that he now belongs to me,. Dom will be telling him in person when he arrives to pack up that figure collection. :)"
ah yes. everything is going accordingly to plan. ('~')
oh btw, george lucas called, he said he can meet you next thursday to discuss about a danny choo movie. ^^;
Tokyo Trooper: The Musical ??
Is this a joke I wonder... It's scary if this site close...
Nice try, this April's fools joke was way too easy to catch. Didn't need to read more than the first sentence to realize it was a joke.
Almost forgot...... There is no way that Fred can come up with 5million. I just can't picture that. Can anyone picture that.....besides, he has a wife named Sarah. I bet you that there is no way that she'll let him buy a website for 5million...
i've had 10+ Aprils fool jokes pulled on me in the last 17hrs i'm not buying this one pretty much been desensitised nice try though
This would have been awesome with a Mirai fanart piece drawn in the MegaTokyo style =D.
The mirai joke was funny but this one is flying somewhere out there. The way Mega Tokyo wrote about aquiring this blog is kind of strange because this site is worth more than 5.1 million USD
Wow, so many good April Fool's joke coming out, it's hard to believe what's real and what's not >_<
I will fully consider this an April's Fool joke or else I wouldn't be able to sleep at night. I don't exactly HATE Megatokyo... but don't like them much too. Few times, I laugh on some comics... but they are nowhere near as enjoyable as this very DannyChoo.com
Dang I'm fooled again! >_<
"2008/04/02 05:35 JST" >> The date got me for some time ! You cheated Danny !
If this is real, then Congrats, your dream runway and plane is a step closer... ... but if this is an Aprils fool, then I'm sorry, the date is now April 2 so you're cheating (although it is still April 1st in the West)...
Well, to celebrate, here are some bloopers from the old muppets show!: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3KANI2dpXLw
After going to Megatokyo site, I still don't know what the hell it is. Yea yea - its an online manga. Other than the merchandise and forums, the other links lead to dead pages.
In all fairness, I have to say that Danny puts more effort into April Fool's than anyone else I know.
I hate April 1-2 lame joke there danny... like other readers here I guess chose "WTF is Megatokyo" They had an online comic thing that is hardly close to Manga at all
Akiraman, in that respect I prefer Aoi House much more.
Poor Fred, 44% of the people pool ''WTF is megatokyo'' I know was a joke but i like how Fred is starting the ''promotion'' of megatokyo in a jap/ international site like this. At least de 44% know now what is megatokyo
Thats one good April Fool's joke Danny.. But you are cheating since its already 2nd April.. BTW, nice Megatokyo banner... XD
@D_Blade thanks for the recommend their comic is quite manga type.
If it's real, I'm disappointed. Utterly disappointed.
LOL Almost had me 5.1 million?!?
Well, occasionally something fro MegaTokyo pops out in the image search... but no, I don't visit it in a regular basis like dannychoo.com. Well, at least 5 minutes ago I didn't.
LOL you almost had me there... Still can't believe I took 1 year to finally realise that the Mirai anime was a joke...
Lol~ I'm sure it's just Danny's roundabout way of mentioning that MegaTokyo will be implementing the Mirai Gaia platform, for their website, in the near future ;p~ On another note, while I realise MegaTokyo is pretty popular (though generally amongst newbie anime fans), it's just never managed to capture my attention... the illustrations don't look eastern enough to relate it to anime or manga. Regardless, I wish you all the best~!
Wow. 300+ comments in a matter of minutes. EPIC. And if I remember correctly, I did point out your cameo appearance in that comic strip a some weeks ago in an E-mail you probably never read...
oh and the 5.1 million USD is probably something closer to 5,100, which is -3 zeros xD;;
@Akiraman: No prob! Enjoy the insanity! So many references you can't even name them all. ^^
Ehhhhhhhhhhhh?!!?? Choo-san sold DC.com?!? For a lot of money yes, but still.... ehhhhh??
shock > disgust > revelation > facepalm > checks post date > disgust.
I hope that it is a joke, but if no then I'm disappointed, I visit this Megatokoy site and the the first thing that I have said was WTF -_-
Uhm...is this for real? or an april fools joke? I've never heard of megatokyo before and just went to their site...its not that good really...just meh. But seriously...is this real? heheh
So many haters here! Give a little love folks. Brilliant joke though.
oh another thing, as part of the acquisition agreement, all dannychoo.com members will become MegaTokyo's property as well. be afraid, be very very afraid. ('~')
I feel some Skynet/Appleseed going on here! Sounds like Danny is trying to take over the world, I like that and totally support it! where to I sign up>?
BANZAI~ Mirai Gaia takes another big step ahead~ but sorry, I poked the last option
You know Danny, having too many April fools jokes will start to make some people question the truthfulness of the rest of the news items....hope this was the last one x_X
