Would So Not Watch
The Harry Potter news site HPANA (Harry Potter Automatic News Aggregator), though it’s not so automatic anymore has posted its own little April Fools prank courtesy of Peeves (the mischievous poltergeist from the books, if you didn’t know).
Interesting choice: they’re suggesting that a Harry Potter anime featuring designs by Akira Toriyama will be made and aired on ABC Family to start in 2012.
Now, there are things I would change. First off, why Akira Toriyama when mangaka Koge Donbo (of Di Gi Charat/Pita Ten fame) has actual Harry Potter fanart on a website, including character illustrations? (Yes, it’s legit; I assume some non-anime-fans who like HP haven’t seen them yet.) Also…to air in 2012? Who would announce an anime not due to hit TVs for FOUR YEARS?
That said, I can kinda imagine Toriyama doing art for Harry Potter and it makes me gag.

I would so watch a Harry Potter anime. And I hate Harry Potter. Did I mention I’m like a trashcan for anime?
