They're basically going to pull a Ranma and kill the series by producing some ridiculous ending that will leave fans saying 'wtf!?' . The next episodes 162-163 released by Sunrise will be filler type. So that means they're gonna sum up the rest of the finale into 4 episodes. Here are the titles for the final four:
"Most Powerful Enemy, Parasite-Pupa Shippo!
"The Best Clue to Defeat Naraku
"The Two's Bond ~ Use the Shikon Shard! Pt.1
"The Two's Bond ~ Use the Shikon Shard! Pt.2
God I'm so pissed off about this. I realize they can't jump from chapters 332 - 372 (current chapter) in those final four episodes, so they'll just release their own ending while the manga is still going. If Sunrise wouldn't of wasted our time with all these filler episodes, we could of actually caught up with the manga and had a true ending.

Miroku's kazana sealed the fate of Hakudoushi. I still need to read the next two chapters but my point is, there's still way too much going on in the manga that I wish the anime would continue on...

- edit -
On whether the rumor is confirmed or not, it seems that the forum administrator of Yomiuri TV has also been talking about the show's ending on that date.

Still I wish Sunrise or Yomiuri TV would release an official press release on the matter.
