Kadokawa is teasing a fake Date A Live live-action film for April Fool's Day, complete with photos of the fan-favorite girl Kurumi in a chapel. Although it's just a joke announcement, the cosplay photos are well worth taking a look at in their own right.
The up-and-coming talent Hinano Nitō modeled for the photos. Cospatio created the costume, which was available for sale in Japan last year. Ryōji Fukuoka (GEKKO) handled the photography, and Yoshiki Noda (Dragonfly) was in charge of the visual effects.
If you're hungry for more legit news about the franchise, Kadokawa also announced on Saturday that it will hold a Date A Live anniversary livestream on April 5.
The stream will celebrate the anime's 10th anniversary and the half-anniversary of the Date A Live Spirit Crisis smartphone game. The stream will announce new information about the upcoming Date A Live V anime.
