[00:24] ---
    Something seems off.
[00:27] ---
    It just somehow felt that way.
[00:31] ---
    I had absolutely no interest in
    the prefectural game playing on the TV,
[00:36] ---
    but I kind of ended up
    rooting for the losing side.
[00:39] ---
    Once I did, I kind of got the feeling
[00:41] ---
    that Haruhi was going to start something.
[00:44] ---
    Incoming call: Haruhi Suzumiya
[00:49] ---
    Kyon, the phone's ringing.
[00:50] ---
    I know, you don't have to tell me.
[00:55] ---
    You're not doing anything today, right?
[00:57] ---
    We're all meeting at exactly
    two o'clock in front of the station.
[00:59] ---
    Be sure to show up.
[01:02] ---
    I didn't even say anything...
[01:05] ---
    Kyon, the phone's ringing.
[01:07] ---
    I know.
[01:09] ---
    What?
[01:09] ---
    I forgot to mention this--
[01:11] ---
    bring a swimsuit, and plenty of money.
[01:14] ---
    And be sure to bring your bike.
    That's all, over and out!
[01:17] ---
    What?
[01:21] ---
    I had the feeling that I knew
    what Haruhi was going to say.
[01:26] ---
    No, not quite.
[01:28] ---
    To be precise, it felt like this exact same
    conversation had happened before.
[01:32] ---
    I guess it's what you would call déjà vu.
[01:58] ---
    You're late, Kyon!
[02:00] ---
    Show some more motivation!
[02:01] ---
    Yeah, yeah.
[02:03] ---
    Sorry I made you wait.
[02:04] ---
    I just got here, too.
[02:06] ---
    Okay, we're all here, so let's go.
[02:09] ---
    Where are we going?
[02:10] ---
    To the public swimming pool, of course!
[02:12] ---
    Well, I guess that makes sense.
[02:14] ---
    We have to do summer vacation-y
    things during our summer vacation!
[02:19] ---
    We can never get back
    the time that we've lost!
[02:23] ---
    And so we're going to
    do them now, during this,
[02:24] ---
    our one and only summer as tenth graders!
[02:29] ---
    By the way, we're going to the pool by bike.
[02:32] ---
    Did you ride your bikes too?
[02:34] ---
    No, the only two bikes we have
    are yours and mine.
[02:38] ---
    Okay, are you ready?
[02:40] ---
    Of course not!
[02:42] ---
    I am!
[02:43] ---
    Kyon, you'd better not lose to Koizumi.
[02:47] ---
    This train is leaving the station!
[02:49] ---
    Dammit!
[03:00] ---
    Day by day, everything's just so dull
[03:05] ---
    That's why you need to become
    someone that can just reject it all
[03:10] ---
    Oh my boy, you need to be decisive
[03:14] ---
    I won't deal with any lies
    in this small world
[03:20] ---
    I found myself on my own,
    it's natural you'd fall for me
[03:25] ---
    Kick away the boring ways of doing things,
[03:27] ---
    I'm going to decide everything
[03:31] ---
    I say, I say my heaven
[03:34] ---
    Super driver, leave everything to the rush
[03:36] ---
    And just keep going forward, no matter what
[03:38] ---
    Surpass (Don't you stop me)
    The idea of "impossible"
[03:42] ---
    Take it easy, go!
[03:43] ---
    I agree, it's going to be a huge victory
[03:45] ---
    Of course, it'll feel pleasant,
    no matter what happens
[03:48] ---
    A review meeting? (Get back to wild)
    Forget that, now hurry up
[03:53] ---
    We haven't tried this or that,
    we always do things how we want
[03:58] ---
    Everything's a new experience,
    let's try them out
[04:03] ---
    We haven't tried this or that,
    we always do things suddenly
[04:08] ---
    Everything's a new experience,
    what about it?
[04:13] ---
    The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
[04:21] ---
    Endless Eight III
[04:26] ---
    Kyon, we're about to go have fun.
    This is no time to be exhausted.
[04:30] ---
    You're such a slacker.
[04:31] ---
    Whose fault do you think this is?
[04:36] ---
    Oh, the scent of chlorine.
    This really makes it feel like a pool!
[04:42] ---
    Come on, time to go swimming! Let's race!
[04:50] ---
    No diving
[04:50] ---
    It's dangerous
[04:50] ---
    Can't you read this sign?
[04:52] ---
    Hurry up and get in!
    The water's warm so it feels fine!
[04:57] ---
    That looks like fun.
[04:59] ---
    This makes me smile, though.
[05:01] ---
    Miss Suzumiya has some rather normal ways
[05:04] ---
    of enjoying her time, don't you think?
[05:07] ---
    Miss Suzumiya, laughing and
    having a good time like that,
[05:11] ---
    isn't likely to shake up the world, after all.
[05:16] ---
    I hope that's the case...
[05:21] ---
    What's wrong?
[05:24] ---
    Koizumi!
[05:26] ---
    It's nothing...
[05:27] ---
    It's probably just my imagination.
[05:29] ---
    Because so much has happened
    since the beginning of spring,
[05:32] ---
    I've become a little paranoid.
[05:35] ---
    Come on, let's go swim.
[05:38] ---
    Hey!
[05:41] ---
    Hey now!
[05:42] ---
    Take that!
[05:44] ---
    Get back here!
[05:54] ---
    I think it'd be better to call this
    a communal pool than a public pool.
[06:07] ---
    This feeling...
[06:10] ---
    It feels like I've seen this scene once before.
[06:14] ---
    Where Nagato kind of looks like
    she's bored... and then...
[06:18] ---
    Kyon!
[06:19] ---
    Right, and then
    Haruhi shows up and says this...
[06:23] ---
    These two are my brigade members.
[06:25] ---
    They'll do anything you ask,
    so ask for anything you want!
[06:29] ---
    Okay, let's have some fun!
    We're going to play water soccer.
[06:32] ---
    Come on!
[06:33] ---
    Well, déjà vu isn't all that uncommon.
[06:36] ---
    Here I go, Mikuru!
[06:37] ---
    Okay!
[06:42] ---
    I'm sorry!
[06:45] ---
    Summer outing
[06:45] ---
    What is this?
[06:47] ---
    I thought about what
    we'll be doing from here on.
[06:50] ---
    It's a schedule of how we'll spend
[06:52] ---
    the rest of our short summer vacation.
[06:54] ---
    We only have two weeks
    of summer vacation left.
[06:58] ---
    And yet it feels like there are
    a lot of things we've yet to do.
[07:01] ---
    But we've only got this much time left.
[07:04] ---
    That's why we're going to pick up the pace!
[07:06] ---
    Is there anything else you want to do, Mikuru?
[07:09] ---
    Umm... I'd like to try goldfish scooping.
[07:13] ---
    Okay! Goldfish scooping...
[07:18] ---
    Pardon me for a moment.
[07:23] ---
    Thank you.
[07:26] ---
    Is there a place nearby having a Bon festival?
[07:28] ---
    A fireworks show would work, too.
[07:31] ---
    I'll check around.
[07:33] ---
    Don't forget about the goldfish scooping!
[07:35] ---
    It's Mikuru's sole request, after all.
[07:38] ---
    Roger that.
[07:40] ---
    Okay, Kyon. We're starting tomorrow!
[07:46] ---
    Incoming call: Haruhi Suzumiya
[07:49] ---
    The next morning, it was Haruhi
    that awoke me from my slumber.
[07:55] ---
    They found a place
    that was holding a Bon festival.
[07:57] ---
    It seems to be happening
    tonight at a public park.
[08:01] ---
    Both Mikuru and Yuki said
    that they don't own a yukata.
[08:05] ---
    So we're going to
    go buy some to wear tonight.
[08:08] ---
    I don't own one either,
[08:09] ---
    and there's a place
    selling them in sets for cheap!
[08:12] ---
    You're coming too!
[08:16] ---
    Haruhi entered
    a women's clothing outlet store.
[08:19] ---
    She just went and chose yukata
    for Miss Asahina and Nagato,
[08:22] ---
    and then headed straight
    for the changing rooms.
[08:24] ---
    After making us wait about an hour or so...
[08:26] ---
    (That'd make anyone yawn.)
[08:28] ---
    ...the three of them finally came out at once.
[08:31] ---
    Excellent!
[08:32] ---
    You all look wonderful.
[08:35] ---
    Of course! I chose these yukata, after all.
[08:38] ---
    Especially Mikuru!
[08:40] ---
    It's so cute on you!
    Just what you would expect from my choice!
[08:44] ---
    Yes...
[08:46] ---
    Miss Asahina... it's so good, Miss Asahina!
[08:54] ---
    I guess it makes sense
    for there to be this many people.
[08:58] ---
    Hmm? There it is again...
[09:00] ---
    This feeling...
[09:03] ---
    It's been a while
    since I've come to a Bon festival,
[09:05] ---
    but it feels like I went to one recently.
[09:08] ---
    That tower, those vendors...
[09:11] ---
    This is...
[09:12] ---
    Mikuru!
[09:13] ---
    They have goldfish scooping,
    just like you wanted!
[09:17] ---
    This way!
[09:18] ---
    Okay!
[09:20] ---
    Shall we play, too?
[09:24] ---
    I'll pass.
[09:35] ---
    You're interested in that stuff?
[09:42] ---
    Which one? I'll buy it...
[09:44] ---
    It's all right.
[09:45] ---
    This one.
[09:46] ---
    Right-o.
[09:50] ---
    I kind of got the feeling that
    Nagato had been helping us out,
[09:53] ---
    so I thought buying it for her
    would be appropriate, but...
[09:58] ---
    Wow, what a haul!
[10:00] ---
    Thirteen!
[10:02] ---
    But I don't need so many,
    so I just kept one for each of us.
[10:08] ---
    Huh? What's with the mask, Yuki?
[10:12] ---
    I bought it.
[10:14] ---
    I see.
[10:17] ---
    I need to use your back for a second.
[10:19] ---
    What?
[10:20] ---
    Just turn around!
[10:22] ---
    Hey.
[10:23] ---
    Now then, next up is fireworks!
[10:26] ---
    Let's launch some fireworks to end the day!
[10:29] ---
    Don't you understand the meaning
    of the word "moderation"?
[10:35] ---
    It was summer, and summer vacation.
[10:39] ---
    That's why I wanted to forget about it,
[10:42] ---
    but there was one thing
    lingering in my mind.
[10:48] ---
    Okay, everyone,
    tomorrow we'll be catching bugs!
[10:51] ---
    This will be the SOS Brigade's
    Cicada Capturing Competition!
[10:54] ---
    Whoever catches the most bugs
[10:57] ---
    will get to be the brigade leader for one day!
[11:00] ---
    Haruhi, it's fine to want to play around,
[11:02] ---
    but are you finished
    with your summer homework?
[11:05] ---
    What are you talking about?
[11:07] ---
    You can finish homework
    like that in just three days.
[11:10] ---
    Take care of all of that bothersome stuff
[11:13] ---
    so you can have fun without
    having to worry about it.
[11:17] ---
    That's how you enjoy your summer vacation!
[11:22] ---
    Why is she so smart?
[11:26] ---
    The next day was yet again a beautiful day.
[11:30] ---
    It was on this day
[11:32] ---
    that we had the SOS Brigade
    Cicada Capturing Competition.
[11:34] ---
    It looks like each of us did try,
    in their own way,
[11:37] ---
    but of course, or something to that effect,
[11:39] ---
    the winner ended up being Haruhi.
[11:43] ---
    The next day, we met up,
[11:45] ---
    even though we had no idea what was going on.
[11:47] ---
    And we continued to have
    no idea what was going on,
[11:49] ---
    even as we were made to wear frog costumes,
[11:51] ---
    and pass out balloons in front of
    a supermarket as our part-time job.
[11:58] ---
    Are you all right?
[11:59] ---
    I thought I was going to die.
    Actually, I am going to die.
[12:01] ---
    Thanks for the hard work,
    especially in this heat.
[12:05] ---
    The manager is thankful.
[12:08] ---
    I don't care about his thanks.
    Where's our pay?
[12:11] ---
    This is it.
[12:12] ---
    I've wanted this for a while.
[12:15] ---
    The owner said that
    he'd give it to us for Mikuru's sake.
[12:18] ---
    We worked for that?
[12:21] ---
    Mikuru, you can wear it whenever
    you want. You have my permission!
[12:26] ---
    Ribbit.
[12:35] ---
    That night, a single phone call
    stole me away from my slumber.
[12:42] ---
    Dammit.
[12:47] ---
    Yes?
[12:49] ---
    Whoa!
[12:51] ---
    Kyon...
[12:56] ---
    Is that you, Miss Asahina?
[12:58] ---
    Yes, it's me...
[13:01] ---
    Something... very not good has...
[13:04] ---
    At this rate, I...
[13:07] ---
    Umm...
[13:08] ---
    Hello, this is Koizumi.
[13:10] ---
    Why are you with Miss Asahina?!
[13:12] ---
    Certain circumstances came up.
[13:14] ---
    Would it be possible for you
    to come join us right now?
[13:16] ---
    Of course! I'll be right there!
[13:38] ---
    What in the world happened, Miss Asahina?
[13:41] ---
    Kyon... I can't return to the future!
[13:50] ---
    Can't return?
[13:51] ---
    Err... What do you mean, can't return?
[13:54] ---
    In other words, this is what's going on.
[13:56] ---
    We are going through
    an eternal loop of the same time period.
[14:01] ---
    What?
[14:02] ---
    We are going through
    an eternal loop of the same time period.
[14:06] ---
    We are going through an eternal loop...
[14:09] ---
    Koizumi, do you realize what you're saying?
[14:12] ---
    I do. Much more than I wish I did.
[14:16] ---
    I had just been speaking with Miss Asahina.
[14:19] ---
    Call me too.
[14:20] ---
    And as a result,
    what we realized was that recently,
[14:22] ---
    the flow of time was a bit strange.
[14:25] ---
    You might want to
    credit this to Miss Asahina.
[14:28] ---
    Thanks to her, I was able to confirm it.
[14:30] ---
    Confirm what?
[14:31] ---
    That we have experienced
    the same span of time numerous times.
[14:39] ---
    You said that earlier.
[14:40] ---
    To be precise, we've been repeating the time
[14:43] ---
    from August 17th to the 31st.
[14:45] ---
    We're in the middle of
    an endless summer vacation.
[14:49] ---
    Well, we're certainly in the middle.
[14:52] ---
    It's a never-ending endless summer.
[14:55] ---
    This world has lost
    all time after September 1st.
[15:01] ---
    That is why Miss Asahina
    cannot return to the future.
[15:05] ---
    I suppose you could say that it's natural
[15:07] ---
    that she can't return
    to a future that doesn't exist.
[15:09] ---
    Cut it out. What's natural about
    something as stupid as that?
[15:13] ---
    Who'd believe it?
[15:17] ---
    We'd like for you to believe it.
[15:22] ---
    Umm... I'll explain, too.
[15:25] ---
    Well... because of "classified information,"
[15:31] ---
    I'm always contacting the future
    and "classified information" -ing,
[15:38] ---
    but I hadn't received
    any "classified information"
[15:41] ---
    for about a week or so,
    and I thought, "that's strange."
[15:44] ---
    And so I "classified information"...
[15:47] ---
    I was so surprised, I tried to "classified,"
[15:50] ---
    Miss Asahina, are your "classified"s
[15:52] ---
    but it was completely "classified"...
[15:54] ---
    things that can't be said on TV?
[16:00] ---
    Are we trapped inside
    one of those closed spaces?
[16:06] ---
    That's not it.
[16:08] ---
    A single portion of time has been torn away.
[16:11] ---
    At exactly the point when
    it becomes midnight on August 31st,
[16:15] ---
    everything resets, and we go back
    to August 17th. That's the process.
[16:19] ---
    So what about our...
    No, humanity's memories?
[16:23] ---
    Those are reset as well.
    Everything starts over from the beginning.
[16:28] ---
    So you mean that time
    does that thing that you mentioned.
[16:33] ---
    Well, I guess it can't be helped.
[16:35] ---
    Oh no, Miss Asahina isn't involved in this.
[16:39] ---
    Okay, then, what is?
[16:41] ---
    I would guess Miss Suzumiya.
[16:46] ---
    I'm sure she doesn't realize it,
    but somewhere inside of her
[16:49] ---
    is a desire to not let summer vacation end.
[16:52] ---
    Do you mean she feels regret over something?
[16:55] ---
    That's what I believe.
[16:57] ---
    Perhaps she feels that there's something left
[17:00] ---
    that she wants to do
    during our summer vacation?
[17:03] ---
    Man, the hopeless situations
    she causes unfold on a galactic scale.
[17:11] ---
    I've been wondering this since I got here,
[17:13] ---
    but you seem awfully cheerful about this.
[17:15] ---
    It's because we've finally been able to solve
[17:17] ---
    the recent mysterious and frequent
    feelings of déjà vu that I've had.
[17:20] ---
    Now that I think about it,
    those inexplicable feelings may have been
[17:22] ---
    remnants from when
    our memories have been reset.
[17:27] ---
    You've been feeling them too, right?
[17:32] ---
    Is it possible that other people
    across the world feel this, too?
[17:36] ---
    You and I are a special case.
[17:39] ---
    It appears that the people
    who are closest to Miss Suzumiya
[17:42] ---
    are able to sense this strangeness.
[17:45] ---
    What about Haruhi?
    Does she sense any of this at all?
[17:48] ---
    Not at all, it seems. It would
    probably be bad for us if she did.
[17:55] ---
    However, I believe that there is
    one person who remembers everything,
[18:01] ---
    more than the déjà vu that we do.
[18:05] ---
    And who would that be?
[18:07] ---
    I think you know.
[18:13] ---
    Is that right, Nagato?
[18:14] ---
    It is.
[18:16] ---
    You remember all of it?
[18:17] ---
    Yes.
[18:20] ---
    So, how many times have we
    repeated all of this, this time?
[18:24] ---
    This is the 15,499th time.
[18:30] ---
    15,499?
[18:33] ---
    What do you mean by 15,499?
    Nagato, what are you saying?
[18:39] ---
    Are you serious?
[18:42] ---
    I am.
[18:43] ---
    You're saying that we've done
    the exact same things that many times?
[18:48] ---
    They're not all guaranteed to happen.
[18:50] ---
    Out of 15,499 repetitions,
    there are two occasions,
[18:55] ---
    #2,391 and ♪11,054,
    where we did not go to a Bon festival.
[18:59] ---
    A pattern where we did go to a Bon festival,
[19:01] ---
    but did not go to a goldfish
    scooping stand, occurred 437 times.
[19:05] ---
    We've had a part-time job
    9,026 times, and when we did,
[19:07] ---
    there are six different kinds
    of jobs that we did.
[19:10] ---
    In addition to handing out balloons,
[19:11] ---
    we also worked as movers,
    cashiers, we handed out fliers,
[19:14] ---
    I got it, that's enough.
[19:15] ---
    worked as call center...
[19:25] ---
    15,499 times, that's what Nagato said.
[19:31] ---
    Times two weeks, hmm,
    that's around 594 years.
[19:36] ---
    She alone has memories of all that time,
[19:40] ---
    repeating it all over and over...
[19:43] ---
    Nagato, how must it feel
[19:45] ---
    to experience that same
    period of time over and over again?
[19:51] ---
    I've heard yet another crazy story.
[19:55] ---
    The next day we went stargazing.
[19:58] ---
    The location was Nagato's apartment,
[20:00] ---
    and the telescope was one
    that Koizumi had gotten for us.
[20:06] ---
    I'm bored of this. UFOs. Let's look for UFOs.
[20:10] ---
    Hey! Stop it, Haruhi, you'll break it!
[20:20] ---
    Exactly what does she want to do?
[20:24] ---
    Now what could that be?
[20:27] ---
    If we could figure that out,
    this would all be solved...
[20:31] ---
    How about trying this out?
[20:33] ---
    Give Miss Suzumiya a sudden
    embrace from behind,
[20:36] ---
    then whisper "I love you" into her ear.
[20:39] ---
    And who would be doing that?
[20:40] ---
    Is there anyone else who could
    fill the role other than you?
[20:43] ---
    Consider me out.
[20:46] ---
    All right, how about if I do it?
[20:53] ---
    I'm kidding. I'm lacking
    a certain something for the role.
[20:57] ---
    And all that would do is cause
    unnecessary confusion in Miss Suzumiya.
[21:02] ---
    We continued to run through
    a torrent of summer vacation events.
[21:08] ---
    We went to a batting center,
[21:10] ---
    to a real fireworks show,
[21:12] ---
    and we even took part
    in a goby fishing tournament.
[21:15] ---
    We also had a test of courage,
[21:17] ---
    watched some movies,
[21:18] ---
    went to the beach, went bowling,
[21:20] ---
    and even to karaoke.
    We were always doing something.
[21:24] ---
    Of course, I knew that
    this wasn't going to satisfy Haruhi.
[21:29] ---
    Even still, there wasn't
    anything I could do about it,
[21:32] ---
    and the last days of
    our summer vacation ticked away.
[21:36] ---
    And so we ended up at August 30th...
[21:43] ---
    With this, we've finished everything on our list.
[21:52] ---
    Hmm. I wonder if this was good enough.
[21:55] ---
    But, hmm, well... I guess this works.
[21:58] ---
    Hey, is there anything else you want to do?
[22:05] ---
    That's fine, then.
[22:06] ---
    We were able to do a lot this summer,
[22:08] ---
    so that's enough, right?
[22:10] ---
    No, Haruhi... You're still not satisfied.
[22:17] ---
    Okay, we're done for today.
[22:19] ---
    I had tomorrow set aside just in case,
[22:20] ---
    but you can just take the day off.
[22:23] ---
    Let's meet again in the clubroom
    the day after tomorrow.
[22:28] ---
    Wait, Haruhi.
[22:31] ---
    There it is again! That déjà vu!
[22:34] ---
    And it's a strong one,
    stronger than ever before.
[22:37] ---
    I can't let Haruhi leave. If she goes,
[22:41] ---
    we'll end up repeating these past two weeks
[22:43] ---
    for the some-thousandth time again.
[22:46] ---
    But what should I do?
[22:48] ---
    What should I say?
[22:50] ---
    There must have been a hint
    somewhere in what Haruhi said.
[22:53] ---
    But what was it?
[22:56] ---
    What has she said up to this point?
[23:00] ---
    I don't know...
[23:03] ---
    I can't remember...
[23:20] ---
    August 31st. I haven't touched my homework.
[23:26] ---
    Whatever, it doesn't matter anymore.
[23:33] ---
    If we're just going to do it all over again,
[23:35] ---
    then there's no point to doing it.
[23:49] ---
    Whether tomorrow comes or not,
[23:51] ---
    I'll leave it to the me
    at that time to deal with it.
[24:07] ---
    It fell from the sky
[24:10] ---
    With all of the wishes that were made upon it
[24:12] ---
    Maybe it was a little too heavy for a single star
[24:17] ---
    Something just doesn't seem right
[24:20] ---
    The image of you in my mind has vanished
[24:22] ---
    Can I say that I remember you clearly?
[24:27] ---
    Stop!
[24:29] ---
    The past belongs to me
[24:32] ---
    Of course I don't want
    to trade it with anyone else
[24:37] ---
    That's because
[24:38] ---
    It was my birthday,
    and when we saw each other
[24:43] ---
    We could see the first dream
[24:46] ---
    That we had when we were born
[24:48] ---
    Worrying about "what do I do?"
[24:54] ---
    Is laughable when I think about it now
[24:58] ---
    I've already forgotten it
[25:00] ---
    Let's search for you
