I was glancing through the internet, obviously later than I probably should, and stumbled upon an article about Otakon 2006, in which a representative from Kadokawa Shoten announced that there had been multiple offers of liscensing The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya, but not only the anime but the novels and manga. I guess this could be somewhat expected when both the opening and closing climbed to the top of their equivalence of the Billboards. Plus, apparently over 60,000 copies of the first DVD have been sold, and the CD single sold out within a day. This series is one of the few I would definitely buy as the DVDs came out and not when it is thinpacked.
Needless to say I am quite happy now.
BTW, I'm going to take a wild that today is National Talk Like A Pirate Day. Either that or the whole staff of Livejournal has officially lost all insanity and pants.
