I, too, thought about it being an April Fools joke but noone in the comments seemed to doubt the dude so I thought "maybe this has some basis". It is indeed suspicious that there is no sort of a promo video and I wonder why is that. Could it be that they want to keep everything a secret until it airs.

What worries me is that, to be honest, the art kinda sucks, to the point that it looks worse than the 1999 version. I really hope the actual anime will look better than those pictures do.
