Updated: Haruhi release ends, Lucky Star on the horizon? Mon, 12 Nov 2007

Recent reports point towards the possibility that Bandai Entertainment have licensed the latest anime phenomenon "Lucky Star", after the show had been advertised as an "Available title" on Kadokawa Pictures USA's website.

The news comes as a recently posted youtube video showing a clip from "Lucky Star" finishes with a piece of text saying "Lucky Star - Coming soon from Kadokawa Pictures USA and Bandai Entertainment Inc".

The video has been confirmed by many people who own the fourth and final installment of the popular series "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" that has just finished its DVD release in America - all that is left is an official announcement from Bandai Entertainment Inc and Kadokawa Pictures USA for this to be a fully fledged new license.

Update:  Marking the official release of the fourth and final installment of the "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya" Region 1 DVD release, Bandai Entertainment have officially announced their production/distribution rights for the fan-favourite - "Lucky Star", marking the first time a US company have gained two individual production/distribution rights for a Kadokawa Pictures USA licensed anime (the first one being "The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya").
