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.

Looks like they are paying back for the invasion by Britannia!

It’s a counter-invasion! Legions of troops loyal to the God-Empress will soon storm the shores of Britannia! The greatest orators and speech-makers will bear Her holy words, incite the messes to overthrow the False Emperor of Britannia, and claim the blasted country in the name of Haruhiism!
SIEG HARUHI!!!!!!

Geez.
You all know this is hot stuff. Licensing was inevitable. It was just a matter of when.
God bless capitalism. :P

[...] Going through Tokyo Tosho for torrents and reading blogs I missed is a pain. Just found out that Haruhi is getting licensed, Haruhi’s fighting a war somewhere in the Middle East and Yuki’s getting the Golden Bubba touch. [...]
