It could be fake information. For now, take it with a grain of salt.

If true, however, then it does seem to make sense for Tanaka Rie to announce on her blog her role as Izayoi Sakuya in a doujin anime.

Considering this, I kind of doubt it.

Unless he got paid lots of money.

Sankaku is famous for interpretable borderline news...Zepy's translation is far more accurate in term of copyright handling :

And guess what? In the replies, Sankaku's news writer is trying to start a flame. Well we now have 2 interpretations of ZUN's blog entry about copyright case, it's up to you to judge folk, but I think he just want to not be involved too much in copyright management, which is a pita with all the doujin masses around.

And the 1st animated episode is due to C75, so supposed to be released at 29/12

I'm with ZUN on this boat.
I don't want to repeat one thing over and over, so I'll borrow this post (which is better than mine in term of wording):

Obscurity lets ZUN maintain the “soft control” over his characters he’s exerted all these years- he’s never had to tell someone “you can’t do that with those characters” and shut down a work of love. A big project, however, could force his hand.

For example, what if the anime killed off a character? You could just shrug and say “it’s a doujin”, but it rings a bit hollow with an big-name cast and years of effort. People getting into the scene from the anime would have a slanted view of the series, which (in significant numbers) would create pressure on ZUN to accept the anime as canon. If the anime is successful- and it probably will be- what if people start talking about a series? Things could get ugly fast.

In short, this could force ZUN to start approving and disapproving of how characters are used- something he’s never done before and probably never wants to do. By saying this now, he’s trying to maintain the status quo- but Touhou’s rising popularity is probably going to change things sooner or later.

This was marked as "reportedly" in the news postings the other day, but we can now say that it's confirmed. The Official Site has now been updated with a countdown (currently showing "6", most probably meaning the site will launch officially next Saturday, the 27th of December). The webpage title also confirms that the anime will keep the same subtitle as the game, "Tayutama -Kiss on my Deity-".

The AS thread for the series is available here.

Please feel free to make the thread yourself, if you'd like. I personally think it's best if someone who's looking forward to the show starts the thread.

K-on is going to be animated by Kyoto-animation?
(The character design is by Yukiko Horiguchi, the same person that did Lucky Star)

Well, unless the article also provides other information to support that, at this point I would just suspect that she's doing the designs on contract. Character designers will often work on shows for various companies; a lot of them are contract artists to begin with, even if they often do work for a given studio.

After a little digging, found this:

『けいおん！』
原作：かきふらい（「まんがタイムきらら」連載）
制作：京都アニメーション
監督：山田尚子
キャラクターデザイン：堀口悠紀子

Don't know if legit, but I don't have a lot of doubt since 2ch is already discussing about Kyo-ani being involved.
