[00:23] ---
    Something seems off.
    It just somehow felt that way.
[00:29] ---
    I had absolutely no interest in
    the prefectural baseball game on TV,
[00:32] ---
    but I ended up watching it anyways.
[00:34] ---
    Once I did, I kind of got the feeling
    that Haruhi was going to start something.
[00:38] ---
    Incoming call: Haruhi Suzumiya
[00:47] ---
    Kyon, the phone's ringing.
[00:49] ---
    I know, you don't have to tell me.
[00:53] ---
    Kyon, 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.
[01:04] ---
    I didn't even say anything...
[01:10] ---
    What?
[01:11] ---
    I forgot to mention this--
    bring a swimsuit and plenty of money.
[01:16] ---
    And be sure--
[01:17] ---
    To bring my bike, right?
[01:20] ---
    That's right. You've got it.
[01:22] ---
    If you're late, you're paying again.
[01:27] ---
    Why did I know about the bike thing just now?
[01:35] ---
    I think that one's going to make it.
[01:39] ---
    See?
[01:40] ---
    I wonder where I put my swimsuit.
[01:44] ---
    Summer's almost over.
[01:56] ---
    Day by day, everything's just so dull
[02:01] ---
    That's why you need to become
    someone that can just reject it all
[02:06] ---
    Oh my boy, you need to be decisive
[02:10] ---
    I won't deal with any lies
    in this small world
[02:16] ---
    I found myself on my own,
    it's natural you'd fall for me
[02:21] ---
    Kick away the boring ways of doing things,
[02:23] ---
    I'm going to decide everything
[02:27] ---
    I say, I say my heaven
[02:30] ---
    Super driver, leave everything to the rush
[02:32] ---
    And just keep going forward, no matter what
[02:34] ---
    Surpass (Don't you stop me)
    The idea of "impossible"
[02:38] ---
    Take it easy, go!
[02:39] ---
    I agree, it's going to be a huge victory
[02:41] ---
    Of course, it'll feel pleasant,
    no matter what happens
[02:44] ---
    A review meeting? (Get back to wild)
    Forget that, now hurry up
[02:49] ---
    We haven't tried this or that,
    we always do things how we want
[02:54] ---
    Everything's a new experience,
    let's try them out
[02:59] ---
    We haven't tried this or that,
    we always do things suddenly
[03:04] ---
    Everything's a new experience,
    what about it?
[03:09] ---
    The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
[03:17] ---
    Endless Eight IV
[03:18] ---
    You're late, Kyon!
[03:20] ---
    Yeah, yeah.
[03:22] ---
    Sorry I'm late.
[03:23] ---
    I just got here, too.
[03:26] ---
    Jeez. Show some more motivation.
[03:29] ---
    Where are we going?
[03:29] ---
    Okay, we're all here, so let's go.
[03:33] ---
    To the public swimming pool, of course!
[03:36] ---
    Well, I guess that makes sense
[03:36] ---
    We have to do summer vacation-y things
[03:37] ---
    considering what I brought.
[03:37] ---
    during our summer vacation!
[03:40] ---
    We can never get back the time that we've lost!
[03:44] ---
    And so we're going to do them now,
    in our one and only summer as tenth graders.
[03:49] ---
    Hey, Kyon! Are you listening?
[03:50] ---
    Y-Yeah.
[03:52] ---
    By the way, we're going to the pool by bike.
[03:55] ---
    Okay. Where did you park your bikes?
[03:58] ---
    No, the only two bikes
    we have are yours and mine.
[04:02] ---
    In other words... You're saying...
    This is what you meant?!
[04:05] ---
    Kyon, you'd better not lose to Koizumi.
[04:08] ---
    This train is leaving the station!
[04:10] ---
    You demon! You fiend!
[04:13] ---
    Come on, Kyon! We're about to go
    have fun. This is no time to be exhausted.
[04:17] ---
    Whose fault do you think this is?
[04:20] ---
    Yeah, look at all the people.
[04:22] ---
    Oh, the scent of chlorine.
    This really makes it feel like a pool!
[04:26] ---
    Come on, let's find a place
    to put our stuff and get swimming!
[04:31] ---
    Hey, wait--
[04:32] ---
    No diving
[04:32] ---
    It's dangerous!
[04:34] ---
    Can't she read the "no diving"
    signs posted everywhere?
[04:39] ---
    The water's warm so it feels fine!
[04:42] ---
    Mikuru! Yuki! Get in here!
[04:44] ---
    Please go on ahead.
[04:46] ---
    We'll never hear the end of it if we leave her be.
[04:48] ---
    Okay, then...
[04:50] ---
    Please wait up, Miss Suzumiya!
[04:54] ---
    Oh, you're so slow!
[04:55] ---
    Oh, wait, please don't pull--
[05:01] ---
    This just feels kind of peaceful, you know?
[05:04] ---
    I mean Miss Suzumiya.
[05:06] ---
    She has some rather normal ways
    of enjoying her time, don't you think?
[05:11] ---
    Calling out of the blue to invite someone
    out to do something and only giving
[05:14] ---
    a general idea of what's going to
    happen isn't what I'd call "normal."
[05:18] ---
    In my opinion, that's really nothing.
[05:23] ---
    Miss Suzumiya, laughing and
    having a good time like that,
[05:26] ---
    isn't likely to shake up the world, after all.
[05:29] ---
    I hope that's the case...
[05:33] ---
    What's wrong?
[05:34] ---
    It's nothing...
[05:38] ---
    It's probably just my imagination.
[05:40] ---
    Because so much has happened
    since the beginning of spring,
[05:42] ---
    I've become a little paranoid.
[05:45] ---
    That's weird. Him, too?
[06:04] ---
    Hey now, stop and let me catch you already!
[06:05] ---
    Yeesh.
[06:07] ---
    I think it would be better to call this place
    a communal pool than a public pool.
[06:12] ---
    That's where she's been?
[06:15] ---
    What's she doing over there by herself?
[06:19] ---
    What the...?
[06:21] ---
    What is this feeling?
[06:24] ---
    It feels like I've seen this scene...
    Seen Nagato like this once before...
[06:28] ---
    Kyon!
[06:31] ---
    Haruhi...
[06:33] ---
    Right, and then Haruhi says this...
[06:37] ---
    "These two are my brigade members.
    They'll do anything you ask, so ask--"
[06:42] ---
    For anything you want!
[06:43] ---
    We're going to play water soccer.
    Everyone has to join in. Yuki!
[06:48] ---
    Have I gained precognitive
    powers or something?
[06:51] ---
    Here's the ball, Kyon.
[06:53] ---
    Doesn't seem that way.
[06:58] ---
    I guess it happens every now and then.
    Déjà vu isn't all that uncommon.
[07:04] ---
    I thought about what
    we'll be doing from here on.
[07:07] ---
    What is that?
[07:08] ---
    It's a schedule of how we'll spend
    the rest of our short summer vacation.
[07:13] ---
    All this, in under two weeks?
[07:13] ---
    There're just two weeks of vacation left.
[07:15] ---
    Is there anything else you want to do, Mikuru?
[07:17] ---
    Umm... I'd like to try goldfish scooping...
[07:21] ---
    Okay! Goldfish scooping...
[07:25] ---
    Pardon me for a moment.
[07:32] ---
    Thank you.
[07:34] ---
    Okay then, we're starting tomorrow!
[07:36] ---
    Is there a place nearby with a Bon festival?
    A fireworks show works, too.
[07:40] ---
    I'll check around.
    I'll contact you when I find out.
[07:43] ---
    Don't forget about the goldfish scooping!
[07:45] ---
    It's Mikuru's one request, after all.
[07:50] ---
    I'm paying again?
[07:51] ---
    I told you that you were
    going to pay if you were late, didn't I?
[07:54] ---
    All right, then, we're done for today! Bye!
[07:59] ---
    If you'll excuse me.
[08:00] ---
    I have to go, too...
[08:01] ---
    Okay.
[08:12] ---
    Nagato.
[08:16] ---
    Umm... no, it's nothing important, but...
[08:23] ---
    How have you been? Everything fine?
[08:27] ---
    Fine.
[08:29] ---
    I see. That's good to hear.
[08:32] ---
    Right.
[08:38] ---
    Well, that was it. Sorry for stopping you.
[08:48] ---
    What the heck?
[08:51] ---
    Why did I talk to her?
[08:58] ---
    The next morning,
    I got another call from Haruhi.
[09:01] ---
    They found a place
    that was holding a Bon festival.
[09:04] ---
    It seems to be happening
    tonight at a public park.
[09:06] ---
    Sorry to keep you waiting!
[09:08] ---
    About time!
[09:11] ---
    You all look wonderful.
[09:13] ---
    Of course! I chose these yukata, after all.
[09:15] ---
    Especially Mikuru! Just what
    you would expect from my choice!
[09:19] ---
    Miss Asahina, you look great... just great!
[09:19] ---
    Oh, you're making me blush...
[09:28] ---
    Hmm, I wonder where
    the things we care about are.
[09:33] ---
    What the--? It feels
    like I've been here recently.
[09:36] ---
    That tower, those vendors,
    I kind of remember them...
[09:40] ---
    Oh, Mikuru!
[09:41] ---
    Look, they have goldfish scooping,
    just like you wanted!
[09:45] ---
    Let's catch a bunch!
[09:46] ---
    M-Miss Suzumiya, please wait!
[09:50] ---
    Shall we play, too?
[09:52] ---
    Nah, I'll pass.
[09:54] ---
    What about you, Nagato?
    Want to eat something?
[10:04] ---
    You're interested in that stuff?
[10:07] ---
    Which one?
[10:08] ---
    It's all right.
[10:10] ---
    This one.
[10:11] ---
    Right-o, that'll be 800 yen.
[10:13] ---
    I kind of got the feeling that
    Nagato had been helping us out...
[10:16] ---
    ...so I thought it would be appropriate
    for me to at least buy her that, but...
[10:19] ---
    Thirteen!
[10:21] ---
    But I don't need so many,
    so I just kept one for each of us.
[10:27] ---
    You can have one, but only one.
[10:30] ---
    Thanks.
[10:32] ---
    Huh? What's with the mask, Yuki?
[10:36] ---
    I bought it.
[10:38] ---
    I see.
[10:40] ---
    Now then, next up is fireworks!
[10:42] ---
    Let's launch some fireworks to end the day!
[10:46] ---
    It was summer, and summer vacation.
[10:50] ---
    That's why I wanted to forget about it,
[10:52] ---
    but there was one thing lingering in my mind.
[10:55] ---
    Tomorrow we'll be catching bugs.
[10:58] ---
    Haruhi.
[11:00] ---
    It's fine to want to play around, but are
    you finished with your summer homework?
[11:04] ---
    Homework?
[11:06] ---
    You can finish homework
    like that in just three days.
[11:08] ---
    Wha--
[11:10] ---
    You get that stuff out of the way so you can
    have fun without having to worry about it.
[11:14] ---
    That's how you enjoy your summer vacation.
[11:18] ---
    Why is heaven so unfair?
[11:20] ---
    Everyone, tomorrow we'll be catching bugs!
[11:22] ---
    And we're only going to catch cicadas!
[11:24] ---
    This will be the SOS Brigade's
    Cicada Capturing Competition!
[11:27] ---
    The next day was yet again a beautiful day.
[11:31] ---
    Yay! Wait up!
[11:31] ---
    It was on this day that we had
[11:34] ---
    the SOS Brigade Cicada Capturing Competition.
[11:35] ---
    I said, wait! I'm gonna get you!
[11:36] ---
    It looks like each of us did try, in their own way,
[11:39] ---
    but of course, or something to that effect,
    the winner ended up being Haruhi.
[11:45] ---
    A catch and release
    attitude is important, right?
[11:49] ---
    If we let them go, then they
    might come back to repay us.
[11:53] ---
    What are you expecting from
    a short-lived insect like a cicada?
[12:00] ---
    For some reason, I kind of
    feel like Pandora opening her box.
[12:08] ---
    The next day, we met up, and even though
    we had no idea what was going on,
[12:12] ---
    we ended up wearing frog costumes
    and passing out balloons
[12:16] ---
    in front of a supermarket
    as our part-time job.
[12:21] ---
    Now I know how the Gundam Virtue
    feels after it's released its armor.
[12:24] ---
    Good work, everyone.
[12:26] ---
    What's with this difference
    in how we're being treated?
[12:28] ---
    Thanks for the hard work.
    The manager is thankful.
[12:32] ---
    I don't care about his thanks.
    Where's our pay?
[12:35] ---
    This is it.
[12:37] ---
    I've wanted this for a while.
[12:40] ---
    The owner said that he'd
    give it to us for Mikuru's sake.
[12:44] ---
    We worked, sweat pouring
    down our foreheads, for that?
[12:48] ---
    Let's hang this up
    in the clubroom as a memento.
[12:51] ---
    Mikuru, you can wear it whenever
    you want. You have my permission!
[12:57] ---
    Umm... well... thank you very much.
[13:03] ---
    That night, a single phone call
    stole me away from my slumber.
[13:10] ---
    Shut up...
[13:20] ---
    Shut up... Dammit...
[13:23] ---
    Yes?
[13:26] ---
    Kyon...
[13:29] ---
    Miss Asahina?
[13:30] ---
    Yes, it's me...
[13:34] ---
    Something... very not good has...
[13:38] ---
    At this rate, I...
[13:41] ---
    Umm...
[13:42] ---
    Hello, this is Koizumi.
[13:46] ---
    Why are you with Miss Asahina?
[13:48] ---
    Certain circumstances came up.
[13:51] ---
    Would it be possible for you
    to come join us right now?
[13:53] ---
    I'll be right there! I'll be right there!
[13:56] ---
    Miss Asahina!
[13:58] ---
    What in the world happened?
[14:01] ---
    K-Kyon...
[14:04] ---
    I... can't go back to the future...
[14:07] ---
    The... the... the future?
[14:14] ---
    In other words, this is what's going on.
[14:17] ---
    We are going through an eternal loop
    of the same time period.
[14:25] ---
    Even if you can say something as
    impossible as that with a smile on your face...
[14:28] ---
    Koizumi, do you realize what you're saying?
[14:32] ---
    I do. Much more than I wish I did.
[14:35] ---
    I had just been speaking with Miss Asahina.
[14:38] ---
    Call me too, when you have talks with her.
[14:41] ---
    And as a result,
    what we realized was that recently,
[14:44] ---
    the flow of time was a bit strange.
[14:47] ---
    You might want to credit this to Miss Asahina.
[14:51] ---
    Thanks to her, I was able to confirm it.
[14:54] ---
    Confirm what?
[14:56] ---
    That we have experienced the same
    span of time numerous times.
[15:00] ---
    You said that earlier.
[15:02] ---
    To be precise, we've been repeating
    the time from August 17th to the 31st.
[15:08] ---
    We're in the middle of
    an endless summer vacation.
[15:11] ---
    Well, it is summer vacation, but...
[15:14] ---
    It's a never-ending endless summer.
[15:18] ---
    This world has lost all time
    after September 1st.
[15:23] ---
    That is why Miss Asahina
    cannot go back to the future.
[15:26] ---
    I suppose you could say that it's natural.
[15:30] ---
    What's natural about there being no future?
[15:32] ---
    Who'd believe it?
[15:37] ---
    We'd like for you to believe it,
    at the very least.
[15:41] ---
    Are we trapped inside
    one of those closed spaces?
[15:46] ---
    No, that's not it.
[15:48] ---
    A single portion of time has been torn away.
[15:51] ---
    At exactly the point when
    it becomes midnight on August 31st,
[15:55] ---
    everything resets, and we go back
    to August 17th. That's the process.
[16:00] ---
    So you mean that time does
    that thing that you mentioned.
[16:03] ---
    Well, we do have someone from
    the future here, I guess it can't be helped.
[16:07] ---
    Oh no, Miss Asahina isn't involved in this.
[16:11] ---
    Okay then, what's the culprit?
[16:13] ---
    I would guess Miss Suzumiya.
[16:17] ---
    I'm sure she doesn't realize it,
    but somewhere inside of her...
[16:21] ---
    is a desire to not let summer vacation end.
[16:24] ---
    What the heck? Do you mean
    she feels regret over something?
[16:27] ---
    That's what I believe.
[16:29] ---
    Perhaps she feels that there's something left...
[16:32] ---
    ...that she wants to do
    during our summer vacation?
[16:37] ---
    So, what are you saying I should do?
[16:39] ---
    If we knew that, we would
    have this problem solved.
[16:43] ---
    You seem awfully cheerful about this.
[16:45] ---
    It's because we've finally been able to solve
[16:49] ---
    the mystery of the frequent feelings
    of déjà vu that I've had lately.
[16:52] ---
    Is it possible that other people
    across the world feel this, too?
[16:56] ---
    It doesn't seem that way.
    You and I are a special case.
[17:01] ---
    It appears that the people
    who are closest to Miss Suzumiya
[17:04] ---
    are able to sense this strangeness.
[17:07] ---
    What about Haruhi?
    Does she sense any of this at all?
[17:11] ---
    Not at all, it seems. It would
    probably be bad for us if she did.
[17:17] ---
    However, I believe that there is
    one person who remembers everything,
[17:23] ---
    more than the déjà vu that we do.
[17:28] ---
    That's an awfully unhappy thought.
    And who would that be?
[17:33] ---
    I think you know, even without my saying.
[17:36] ---
    I believe that the Thought Entity,
    which transcends time and space, would.
[17:43] ---
    Is that right, Nagato?
[17:46] ---
    It is.
[17:47] ---
    You remember all of it?
[17:49] ---
    Right.
[17:50] ---
    So, how many times have we
    repeated all of this, this time?
[17:57] ---
    This is the 15,513th time.
[18:05] ---
    15,513?
[18:08] ---
    What do you mean by 15,513?
    Nagato, what are you saying?
[18:17] ---
    Are you serious?
[18:19] ---
    I am.
[18:21] ---
    You're saying that we've done
    the exact same things that many times?
[18:26] ---
    They're not all guaranteed to happen.
[18:29] ---
    Which means?
[18:31] ---
    Out of 15,513 repetitions,
    there are two occasions,
[18:36] ---
    #2,391 and ♪11,054,
    where we did not go to a Bon festival.
[18:41] ---
    A pattern where we did go to a Bon festival,
[18:44] ---
    but did not go to a goldfish
    scooping stand, occurred 437 times.
[18:47] ---
    We've had a part-time job
    9,031 times, and in those instances,
[18:51] ---
    we have done six different kinds of jobs.
[18:53] ---
    In addition to handing out balloons,
    we also worked as movers, cashiers,
[18:57] ---
    handed out flyers, worked as call center--
[18:58] ---
    I got it, that's enough.
[19:09] ---
    15,513 times. That's what Nagato said.
[19:15] ---
    Times two weeks, hmm,
    that's around 594 years.
[19:20] ---
    She alone has memories of all that time,
[19:25] ---
    repeating it all over and over...
[19:31] ---
    Nagato, how must it feel to experience
    that same period of time over and over again?
[19:42] ---
    I wonder if they exist.
[19:44] ---
    Martians.
[19:45] ---
    I kind of don't want them to.
[19:48] ---
    They're probably a reserved people,
    living underground.
[19:52] ---
    They're probably friendly.
[19:54] ---
    There's no guarantee of that.
[19:56] ---
    I'm bored of this. UFOs. Let's look for UFOs.
[20:03] ---
    Exactly what does she want to do?
[20:07] ---
    Now what could that be?
[20:09] ---
    If we could figure that out,
    this would all be solved...
[20:13] ---
    Oh, how about trying this out?
[20:17] ---
    Give Miss Suzumiya
    a sudden embrace from behind,
[20:19] ---
    then whisper "I love you" into her ear.
[20:22] ---
    And who would be doing that?
[20:25] ---
    Is there anyone else who could
    fill the role other than you?
[20:28] ---
    I'm exercising my right to veto.
    In other words, I'm not going to.
[20:31] ---
    I guess it can't be helped.
    All right, how about if I do it?
[20:36] ---
    I'm kidding. I'm lacking
    a certain something for the role.
[20:41] ---
    And all that would do is cause
    unnecessary confusion in Miss Suzumiya.
[20:50] ---
    Hey, Nagato,
[20:51] ---
    you were aware of this loop before
    Miss Asahina said anything, right?
[20:56] ---
    Yes.
[20:57] ---
    If that's the case,
    why didn't you say anything?
[21:01] ---
    It's my job to observe.
[21:04] ---
    I see...
[21:06] ---
    All right!
[21:08] ---
    Look, I got a home run! Yay! I did it!
[21:11] ---
    We were always doing something.
[21:15] ---
    We went to a real fireworks show,
[21:17] ---
    and we even took part
    in a goby fishing tournament.
[21:20] ---
    We also did a test of courage,
    went to the beach,
[21:23] ---
    went bowling, sang karaoke,
    and watched some movies.
[21:26] ---
    Of course, I knew that this
    wasn't going to satisfy Haruhi.
[21:31] ---
    Even still, there wasn't anything
    I could do about it
[21:34] ---
    and the last days of our
    summer vacation ticked away.
[21:40] ---
    And so we ended up at August 30th...
[21:45] ---
    With this, we've finished everything on our list.
[21:51] ---
    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.
[22:07] ---
    We were able to do a lot
    this summer, so that's enough, right?
[22:12] ---
    No, it's not. You're still not satisfied.
[22:18] ---
    Okay, we're done for today.
[22:21] ---
    I had tomorrow set aside just in case,
    but you can just take the day off.
[22:25] ---
    Let's meet again in the clubroom
    the day after tomorrow.
[22:29] ---
    Wait...
[22:31] ---
    Wait, Haruhi.
[22:34] ---
    No, I can't let you go!
[22:38] ---
    If she goes, we'll end up
    repeating these past two weeks
[22:43] ---
    for the some-thousandth time again.
[22:52] ---
    But what should I do? What should I say?
[22:57] ---
    There must have been a hint
    somewhere in what Haruhi said.
[23:01] ---
    But what was it?
[23:03] ---
    What has she said up to this point?
[23:06] ---
    It's no use. I don't know...
[23:09] ---
    Wait... wait...
[23:13] ---
    Haruhi!
[23:16] ---
    Thank you very much!
[23:27] ---
    August 31st. I haven't touched my homework.
[23:32] ---
    Whatever, it doesn't matter anymore.
[23:36] ---
    If we're just going to do it all over again,
    then there's no point to doing it.
[23:42] ---
    Whether tomorrow comes or not, I'll leave
    it to the me at that time to deal with it.
[24:04] ---
    It fell from the sky
[24:07] ---
    With all of the wishes that were made upon it
[24:09] ---
    Maybe it was a little too heavy for a single star
[24:15] ---
    Something just doesn't seem right
[24:17] ---
    The image of you in my mind has vanished
[24:20] ---
    Can I say that I remember you clearly?
[24:24] ---
    Stop!
[24:26] ---
    The past belongs to me
[24:30] ---
    Of course I don't want
    to trade it with anyone else
[24:34] ---
    That's because
[24:36] ---
    It was my birthday,
    and when we saw each other
[24:41] ---
    We could see the first dream
[24:43] ---
    That we had when we were born
[24:46] ---
    Worrying about "what do I do?"
[24:51] ---
    Is laughable when I think about it now
[24:55] ---
    I've already forgotten it
[24:58] ---
    Let's search for you
