TMitter (2010)Edit

The Room of the April Witch (2011)Edit

Main article: The Room of the April Witch

Rather than a typical joke, they instead created an original and serious short story based around on the concept of April Fools' Day. The Type-Moon Mobile Site featured one of 79 splash images with text every time front page was loaded.^[2]

Koha-Ace (2012)Edit

Koha-Ace: Chemical Maid Kohaku is a parody movie poster similar to Neco-Arc The Movie, and it has the tagline “The Three Koha-Big-Bangs will go down in history.” The joke for 2012 is much smaller in scale compared to previous years, which each had its own site. The movie poster was placed on the main page of their site, and clicking on it brought up a small two page comic that lampoons both the scale of the joke and the number of times Mahou Tsukai no Yoru was delayed.^[3]

This movie was later referenced in Carnival Phantasm, with Kohaku claiming it had been animated. However, before it can begin, Kohaku states their budget had been completely spent in the preceding action scenes.

Rojiura SATSUKI Chapter Heroine Sanctuary (2013)Edit

Presented as a mini-game with text and options, this parody follows Satsuki , Riesbyfe , Sion , Ciel and Saber as they are trying to climb up the 12 houses of the chinese zodiac. The mini-game unlocked automatically each of the houses, presented in a stone clock illuminating the zodiac with flames, where the heroines engaged some other characters, such Aoko, Arcueid, Shiki, etc. The battles were RPG-style and some of them required the user action, such as choosing the character and order for the fight. Choosing wrong resulted in game over. This game is based off the manga series Saint Seiya

Notorious Brand is a joke created by French Bread, the creators of Melty Blood. It was presented as a 2d fighting game similar to Melty Blood based upon Fate/stay night. It has a release date of April 1st, 2014. The plot follows strange events occurring one year after the end of Heaven’s Feel. There is a mysterious shadow once again stalking the night and killing innocents, which Shirou will not stand for without fighting against it. He manages to master Unlimited Blade Works with his puppet body, but he cannot even scratch the shadow. Its actual identity is Stanrobe Calhin, a ghost Dead Apostle, who has fused with the leftover remains of the Holy Grail. He has become an entity with god-like powers who will destroy everything in his path, and Zelretch summons Servants from alternate dimensions to combat him. They are too busy fighting each other to actually do anything else.

It has an innovative ten-button combat system that will allows for control of both a Servant and Master at once. Commands can be given to the Servant, or they can be kept in the background to enhance the Master’s fighting. Another unique feature is the mana bar, which dictates how long a Servant can fight and when it can use its Noble Phantasm. The crucial strategy of the game is knowing when to switch between using Masters and Servants The characters include Saber, Shirou, Archer, Rin, Rider, Shinji, Sakura (Dark Sakura and hollow ataraxia forms), Shinji, Ilya, Berserker, Lancer, Kotomine, Gilgamesh, Caster, Kuzuki, Zouken, Assassin, True Assassin, Lysritt, Sella, Issei and his brother Reikan, Neko-chan and the legendary bartender Ryuu Sasakura, The Mitsuzuri siblings Ayako and Minori, the demon girls of the track team, Kaede, Kane, and Yukika, and the gorgon pair of Stheno and Euryale. Taiga and the servant of the Tiger may also make an appearance.^[4]
