Wait wait! Is everyone seeing what I am. Just basically the message, visitor stats, and the picture? There really is not any information, just what I described correct?

Yes of course I did. And actually, I think some fans would. And in fact, they have done in the past. Not for an anime site, but it has happened. That's why I was hoping for something a little more concrete. It does NOT mean I don't actually read the announcements, or the editor's notes. But ANYway, I certainly don't want to spoil any joy with unpleasantness, so lets focus on the good things, shall we? I am over the moon about this news, and eagerly anticipate the official announcement. The 22nd can't come soon enough! *bounces excitedly* |

Thanks! No wonder it's useless to decode it with Shift-JIS.... This sentence is so Mikuru-ish. Furthermore, using Japanese remarks within the HTML source code (most Internet users don't even know how to read them, not to mention decoding/translating them from EUC-JIS) is not a common practice of US licensors. I'd speculate that Kadokawa Pictures USA is involved, just like what they did for Full Metal Panic! The Second Raid -- IF the website is official and not a prank.

The article says it's being advertised on ANN as well, but exactly WHERE is this advertising on the site at? I couldn't see any anywhere.
The page is mimicking the Japanese version of the page, which also has a hit counter. Although that counter is fake. As someone else said, it's supposed to be like the SOS Brigade website that's seen in the anime, which does in fact have a counter.
Actually, AnimeOnDVD has been advertising the page on their site since early this morning, & was how I first found out. Webmaster Chris Beverage has pointed out on their forum that he does know more than he's letting on, & I trust he knows what he's talking about. He wouldn't put something like that on the front page if it wasn't trustworthy. |

**does the SOS Dance**
I had a feeling something was bound to be announced by the end of this year. The site does seem official. Wouldn't it be cool if they had a place to sign up for the SOS Club on the site? |

First I thought it was fake, but reading other replies, I have to agree with those who think that they've released the psuedo-fake website as a ploy to build up the hype...sooo it's just a matter of who it is licensed to.

The site was up for several hours before ANN posted about it (and speculated about on a variety of forums). |

*joins omni in the celebratory Para Para* I really do hope there will be a club we can join. I don't know what it would entail, but official cards and our rank in the brigade seem like a distinct possibilty. Although would only the first few members be granted the title of Ultra-Director? ; -) It would be such a fun idea regardless. |

That's true. Supposing it's for real, I would further suppose that the date there (Dec. 22, 2006) is when they will make the official announcement? I really can't decide if this is credible or not, though. I hope they only go for 3 or 4 dvd's, though. Japan got seven, which is just plain too many, considering that's 2 episodes a pop. |

The ads aren't up yet; I believe they're supposed to be up tonight.
Many of us in the press know more about this than we're letting on. |

Man, I want to jump up a do a happy dance but my inner paranoid wants to believe it's all a horrible joke. Please let this be a sign of true licensing and not some twisted human's practical joke. |

I wasn't sure- was 'episode 00' only released on it's own disc? Man, that means the last one probably had only one ep on it. Those poor exploited Japanese people. |

It's entirely their fault for putting up with it for so long. |

That's true, I'm not sure how I could live with only 1 or 2 episodes per disc especially with a show like Haruhi |
