Haruhi Suzumiya apprently licensed (really!)

The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - HaruhiismThe webpage http://asosbrigade.com/ appears to be a new website for the Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, saying that “The World As You Know It Is About to End” on December 22nd (apparently the date that the official announcement of who has licenced the series will be made).

No information can be gleamed from the domain’s whois registration about who licensed the series, though the rumor making the rounds is that it is Kadokawa Pictures USA who is the winner.

Their only other US anime license is Full Metal Panic: The Second Raid, which is another Kyoto Animation project. Kadokawa Shoten is also the Japanese distributor of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya (as well as for Full Metal Panic TSR)
