TROLL

I think there is a article on this sometimes back

Basically I'll buy anything to do with strike witches.

Basically what he's trying to say is they used ActionScript, Flash's programming language, to make it reveal the message when their server's clock gets to a specified time. When you download the Flash video, your computer is now the server from which the swf calls the time, rather than the website's server.

"For example, what the people of 2chan and Sankaku fail to notice, is that this particular notice doesn't appear until the 28th. which is one day after the countdown. The announcement would be made on the 27th, which still has the 'Yoshika and Lynette teasing screen' (not to mention that the announcement of a title for an already confirmed game isn't really something worth raising a countdown for).

Long story short: I'll wait until the 27th before raging."

Plus I am actually interested in the game.

The only thing I really cared to get into was Tower of Druaga, and they even ran that on YouTube.

Personally, I'm not a big Gonzo fan all-around. Maybe a restructuring will allow them to focus on a few hit anime to run in the coming seasons than many formulaic and dull ones.

With Gonzo in its current state I'd be worried, as I noted elsewhere, that we'd end up with EPIC QUALITY Witches.

I'm not sure if this is done from downloading the site source and changing the time on the PC (since that's where it would read the time from, given that it's effectively being hosted on there), or if it was done on the one actually at the URL linked.

On other similar teaser sites, this method didn't work, and just showed a negative number counting instead. This could in fact be a bogus message to be replaced with a later one when the countdown actually ends; it's not entirely without precedent.

Alternately, this is what it appears to be at face value. That Gonzo is tightening its belt -- and the presence of a link to "web KADOKAWA" -- makes me suspicious that this is the real case.
