High possiblity of Haruhi license
A mysterious website, asosbrigade.com has been spotted. It foretells the end of the world on 22 Dec and has copyright information for Noizi Itou and SOS-dan in Japanese.
The title bar says “The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya - Haruhiism - North America“. I assume the “a” in the URL stands for “America”.
The hidden text in the source code says 「禁則事項は１２月２２日公表します。」 or “the kinsoku jikou will be revealed on 22 Dec”. The domain is registered to a US address through a US registrar. The IP itself appears to be hosted at Hurricane Electric, a US colo provider.
The inclusion of copyright information is unusual for a fansite. (We are a bunch of pirates.)
All signs point to a R1 Haruhi license announcement in 4 days.

http://www.haruhi.tv seems down, but… http://www.haruhi.tv/member_yuki.html Can somebody please translate it for me?

There’s also a comment in its source code that is in japanese.

You do realize that haruhi.tv isn’t down. The 404 is clearly faked. Take a close look at the image…
Also, that’s an IE 404 I’m using Firefox :P

It’s pretty much confirmed that Haruhi is licensed. Someone had to pay ANN and AoD for the advertisements. The problem is who?
Judging from the use of Japanese in the source code, the Japanese copyright information and the third party hosting, I’m placing my bet on Kadokawa Pictures USA. I just don’t see Funimation or ADV doing those things.

Yeah, I know.. hehe. That’s why I said it “seems”. I think that a 404 should only be in jap if you’re using a jap browser.

Maybe we should all reseed the torrents in these last few days before it gets removed… I’m dedicating my 1Mbps upload for Haruhisama!

For those who haven’t gotten the http://www.haruhi.tv thing yet, check yesterday’s date. Then read volume 4 (again).

“Arrange the program start condition and the key.”
Once again, a reference to volume 4.
