[00:23] ---
    Something's off.
[00:27] ---
    Something's off.
[00:29] ---
    Something's off.
[00:32] ---
    Something seems off.
    It just somehow felt that way.
[00:36] ---
    I had absolutely no interest in
    the prefectural baseball game on TV,
[00:41] ---
    but I kind of ended up
    rooting for the losing side.
[00:45] ---
    Once I did, I kind of got the feeling
    that Haruhi was going to start something.
[00:50] ---
    Incoming call: Haruhi Suzumiya
[00:58] ---
    Kyon, the phone's ringing.
[01:00] ---
    I know, you don't have to tell me.
[01:07] ---
    You're not doing anything today, right?
    We're meeting at 2PM in front of the station.
[01:11] ---
    Be sure to show up.
[01:14] ---
    I didn't even say anything...
[01:19] ---
    What?
[01:20] ---
    I forgot to mention this...
[01:23] ---
    Bring a swimsuit and plenty of money.
[01:26] ---
    And be sure to bring your bike.
    That's all, over and out!
[01:30] ---
    I still haven't...
[01:34] ---
    I had the feeling that I knew
    what Haruhi was going to say.
[01:39] ---
    No, not quite.
[01:40] ---
    To be precise, it felt like this exact
    same conversation had happened before.
[01:44] ---
    I guess it's what you would call déjà vu.
[02:02] ---
    Summer's almost over.
[02:14] ---
    Day by day, everything's just so dull
[02:19] ---
    That's why you need to become
    someone that can just reject it all
[02:24] ---
    Oh my boy, you need to be decisive
[02:28] ---
    I won't deal with any lies
    in this small world
[02:34] ---
    I found myself on my own,
    it's natural you'd fall for me
[02:39] ---
    Kick away the boring ways of doing things,
[02:41] ---
    I'm going to decide everything
[02:45] ---
    I say, I say my heaven
[02:48] ---
    Super driver, leave everything to the rush
[02:50] ---
    And just keep going forward, no matter what
[02:52] ---
    Surpass (Don't you stop me)
    The idea of "impossible"
[02:56] ---
    Take it easy, go!
[02:57] ---
    I agree, it's going to be a huge victory
[02:59] ---
    Of course, it'll feel pleasant,
    no matter what happens
[03:02] ---
    A review meeting? (Get back to wild)
    Forget that, now hurry up
[03:07] ---
    We haven't tried this or that,
    we always do things how we want
[03:12] ---
    Everything's a new experience,
    let's try them out
[03:17] ---
    We haven't tried this or that,
    we always do things suddenly
[03:22] ---
    Everything's a new experience,
    what about it?
[03:27] ---
    The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
[03:36] ---
    You're late, Kyon! Show some more motivation!
[03:36] ---
    Endless Eight VII
[03:39] ---
    Yeah, yeah.
[03:42] ---
    Sorry I made you wait.
[03:44] ---
    I just got here, too.
[03:46] ---
    Okay, we're all here, so let's go.
[03:50] ---
    Where are we going?
[03:51] ---
    To the public swimming pool, of course!
[03:54] ---
    Well, I guess that makes sense
    considering what I brought.
[03:57] ---
    We have to do summer vacation-y
    things during our summer vacation!
[04:00] ---
    We can never get back the time that we've lost!
[04:04] ---
    And so we're going to do them now,
    in our one and only summer as tenth graders.
[04:10] ---
    By the way, we're going to the pool by bike.
[04:14] ---
    Did you ride your bikes, too?
[04:15] ---
    No, the only two bikes we have
    are yours and mine.
[04:21] ---
    Kyon, you'd better not lose to Koizumi.
[04:24] ---
    This train is leaving the station!
[04:31] ---
    Come on, you two,
    hurry up and park your bikes.
[04:36] ---
    Hey now, Kyon, we're about to go have fun.
    This is no time to be exhausted.
[04:40] ---
    Whose fault do you think this is?
[04:42] ---
    Oh, the scent of chlorine.
    This really makes it feel like a pool!
[04:47] ---
    Come on, let's get in! We're going to race!
[04:51] ---
    Oh, Miss Suzumiya, wait!
[04:51] ---
    No diving
[04:51] ---
    It's dangerous
[04:55] ---
    That looks like fun.
[04:57] ---
    It sure does.
[04:58] ---
    This makes me smile, though. It feels peaceful.
[05:03] ---
    She has some rather normal ways
    of enjoying her time, don't you think?
[05:08] ---
    Calling out of the blue to invite someone
    out to do something and only giving
[05:13] ---
    a general idea of what's going to
    happen isn't what I'd call "normal."
[05:17] ---
    In my opinion, that's really nothing.
[05:21] ---
    Miss Suzumiya, laughing and
    having a good time like that,
[05:24] ---
    isn't likely to shake up the world, after all.
[05:27] ---
    I hope that's the case...
[05:31] ---
    What's wrong?
[05:33] ---
    It's nothing...
[05:36] ---
    It's probably just my imagination.
[05:38] ---
    Because so much has happened
    since the beginning of spring,
[05:41] ---
    I've become a little paranoid.
[05:47] ---
    Oh, I lost again!
[05:49] ---
    Yuki, let's go one more time!
[05:55] ---
    Here I come!
[06:01] ---
    Delicious! This is delicious, Mikuru!
[06:09] ---
    Jeez.
[06:10] ---
    I think it would be better to call this place
    a communal pool than a public pool.
[06:15] ---
    I wonder why Haruhi chose this place.
[06:20] ---
    Jeez.
[06:21] ---
    I think it would be better to call this place
    a communal pool than a public pool.
[06:26] ---
    I wonder why Haruhi chose this place.
[06:33] ---
    What is this feeling?
[06:38] ---
    Right, and then Haruhi says this...
[06:42] ---
    "These two are my brigade members."
[06:44] ---
    "They'll do anything you ask,
    so ask for anything you want!"
[06:48] ---
    Okay, let's have some fun!
    We're going to play water soccer.
[06:53] ---
    Yeah, yeah.
[06:54] ---
    Well, déjà vu isn't all that uncommon.
[07:00] ---
    What is that?
[07:02] ---
    It's a schedule of how we'll spend
    the rest of our short summer vacation.
[07:06] ---
    I realized that we only have
    two weeks of summer vacation left.
[07:11] ---
    We're going to pick up the pace!
[07:14] ---
    All this in just two weeks?
[07:16] ---
    Is there anything else you want to do, Mikuru?
[07:20] ---
    Umm... I'd like to try goldfish scooping.
[07:26] ---
    Okay! Goldfish scooping...
[07:31] ---
    Done!
[07:33] ---
    Pardon me for a moment.
[07:37] ---
    Thank you.
[07:38] ---
    Done already?
[07:39] ---
    Yes.
[07:40] ---
    Okay then, we're starting tomorrow!
[07:43] ---
    Is there a place nearby with a Bon festival?
    A fireworks show works, too.
[07:48] ---
    I'll check around.
[07:50] ---
    Don't forget about the goldfish scooping!
[07:52] ---
    Roger that.
[08:00] ---
    I'm paying again?
[08:02] ---
    All right, then, we're done for today!
[08:05] ---
    If you'll excuse me.
[08:07] ---
    I have to go, too...
[08:16] ---
    Nagato!
[08:20] ---
    Umm... no, it's nothing important.
[08:24] ---
    How have you been? Everything fine?
[08:27] ---
    Fine.
[08:28] ---
    That's good to hear.
[08:30] ---
    Right.
[08:34] ---
    S-Sorry about stopping you.
[08:38] ---
    Sorry!
[08:40] ---
    What the heck? Why did I talk to her?
[08:48] ---
    The next morning, it was a call from Haruhi
    that awoke me from my slumber.
[08:54] ---
    They found a place having a Bon festival.
    It was tonight at a public park.
[09:00] ---
    Kyon! You're last again!
[09:03] ---
    Jeez.
[09:05] ---
    Oh well. Let's go buy yukata!
[09:11] ---
    Haruhi entered a women's
    clothing outlet store.
[09:14] ---
    Come on, hurry up!
[09:14] ---
    She just went and chose yukata
[09:15] ---
    for Miss Asahina and Nagato,
[09:15] ---
    Leave it to me!
[09:16] ---
    And then headed straight for the changing rooms.
[09:20] ---
    After making us wait about an hour or so,
    the three of them finally came out at once.
[09:24] ---
    What do you think?
[09:28] ---
    We're pretty hot, aren't we?
[09:30] ---
    You all look wonderful.
[09:32] ---
    Of course! I chose these yukata, after all.
[09:35] ---
    Especially Mikuru!
[09:37] ---
    It's so cute on you! It's just too cute!
[09:40] ---
    Just what you would expect from my choice!
[09:42] ---
    O-Of course.
[09:44] ---
    Miss Asahina! Twirl... twirl!
[09:47] ---
    Wow, this is amazing!
[09:51] ---
    Yeah! It's nice and lively!
[09:53] ---
    A Bon festival, huh?
[09:55] ---
    I guess it makes sense
    for there to be this many... people.
[10:01] ---
    There... there it is again. What is this feeling?
[10:06] ---
    Mikuru!
[10:08] ---
    They have goldfish scooping,
    just like you wanted!
[10:11] ---
    Be sure to catch a bunch!
[10:13] ---
    Okay!
[10:14] ---
    Shall we play, too? How about a competition?
[10:18] ---
    I'll pass.
[10:19] ---
    What about you, Nagato?
    Want to eat something?
[10:26] ---
    Oh, you're interested in that stuff?
[10:30] ---
    Which one?
[10:31] ---
    It's all right.
[10:35] ---
    This one.
[10:36] ---
    Right-o, that'll be 800 yen.
[10:38] ---
    I kind of got the feeling that
    Nagato had been helping us out,
[10:41] ---
    so I thought it would be appropriate
    for me to at least buy her that, but...
[10:44] ---
    Thirteen! But I don't need
    so many, so I just kept one.
[10:49] ---
    That's amazing.
[10:52] ---
    You can have one, but only one.
[10:54] ---
    Thanks.
[10:58] ---
    Huh? What's with the mask?
[11:00] ---
    I bought it.
[11:01] ---
    Huh. I see.
[11:04] ---
    Now then, next up is fireworks!
    Let's launch some fireworks to end the day!
[11:11] ---
    It was summer, and summer vacation.
[11:13] ---
    I won't let you destroy it!
[11:14] ---
    That's why I wanted to forget about it,
[11:16] ---
    but there was one thing lingering in my mind.
[11:21] ---
    All right, tomorrow we'll be catching bugs!
[11:23] ---
    Haruhi.
[11:24] ---
    It's fine to want to play around, but are you
    finished with your summer homework?
[11:28] ---
    What? You can finish homework
    like that in just three days.
[11:33] ---
    Three days?!
[11:34] ---
    You get that stuff out of the way so you can
    have fun without having to worry about it.
[11:39] ---
    That's how you enjoy your summer vacation.
[11:43] ---
    Why is she so smart?
[11:46] ---
    It seems like the guys up
    in heaven that were divvying up
[11:48] ---
    the stats for us
    were being pretty lax about it.
[11:51] ---
    And so, tomorrow we'll be catching bugs!
[11:54] ---
    Whoever catches the most bugs...
[11:57] ---
    Okay, they'll get to be
    the brigade leader for a day!
[12:03] ---
    No thanks!
[12:04] ---
    That sounds interesting. Are any bugs okay?
[12:08] ---
    Hmm... only cicadas!
[12:12] ---
    That's it, this will be the SOS Brigade's
    Cicada Capturing Competition!
[12:18] ---
    The next day was yet again a beautiful day.
[12:22] ---
    It was on this day that we had the
    SOS Brigade Cicada Capturing Competition.
[12:25] ---
    Oh, no!
[12:25] ---
    It looks like each of us did try, in their own way,
[12:28] ---
    but of course, or something to that effect,
    the winner ended up being Haruhi.
[12:33] ---
    A catch and release attitude
    is important, right?
[12:37] ---
    If we let them go, then they
    might come back to repay us.
[12:41] ---
    What could a cicada do,
    even if it did come back?
[12:44] ---
    There you go! Go back to the mountains!
[12:51] ---
    For some reason, I kind of
    feel like Pandora opening her box.
[12:56] ---
    W-Welcome!
[12:58] ---
    The next day, even though
    we had no idea what was going on,
[13:01] ---
    we were made to wear frog costumes
    for our part-time job at the supermarket.
[13:07] ---
    Good work, everyone.
[13:09] ---
    What's with this difference
    in how we're being treated?
[13:11] ---
    Thanks for the hard work.
    The manager is thankful.
[13:15] ---
    I don't care about his thanks.
    Where's our pay?
[13:19] ---
    That's it.
[13:21] ---
    I've wanted that for a while.
[13:25] ---
    The owner said that he'd
    give it to us for Mikuru's sake.
[13:29] ---
    We worked, sweat pouring
    down our foreheads, for that?
[13:33] ---
    Let's hang that up
    in the clubroom as a memento.
[13:36] ---
    Mikuru, you can wear it whenever
    you want. You have my permission!
[13:49] ---
    That night, a single phone call
    stole me away from my slumber.
[13:59] ---
    Oh, come on! Hello?
[14:04] ---
    Kyon...
[14:07] ---
    Miss Asahina?!
[14:09] ---
    Yes, it's me...
[14:13] ---
    Something... very not good has...
    At this rate, I...
[14:18] ---
    What do I...
[14:21] ---
    Umm...
[14:21] ---
    Hello, this is Koizumi.
[14:23] ---
    Why are you with Miss Asahina?
[14:27] ---
    Certain circumstances came up.
[14:29] ---
    Would it be possible for you
    to come join us right now?
[14:32] ---
    Why you... why you!
[14:36] ---
    What in the world happened, Miss Asahina?
[14:40] ---
    Kyon...
[14:41] ---
    I... can't go back to the future...
[14:49] ---
    I can't understand what she's saying...
[14:52] ---
    In other words, this is what's going on.
[14:55] ---
    We are going through
    an eternal loop of the same time period.
[14:59] ---
    Even if you say something as impossible
    as that with a smile on your face...
[15:03] ---
    Koizumi, do you realize
    what you're saying? Do you?
[15:07] ---
    I do. Much more than I wish I did.
[15:11] ---
    I had just been speaking with Miss Asahina.
[15:14] ---
    Call me too. And then don't come.
[15:17] ---
    And as a result,
    what we realized was that recently,
[15:20] ---
    the flow of time was a bit strange.
[15:23] ---
    You might want to credit this to Miss Asahina.
[15:27] ---
    Thanks to her, I was able to confirm it.
[15:29] ---
    Confirm what?
[15:31] ---
    That we have experienced
    the same span of time numerous times.
[15:36] ---
    You said that earlier.
[15:38] ---
    To be precise, we've been repeating
    the time from August 17th to the 31st.
[15:43] ---
    We're in the middle of
    an endless summer vacation.
[15:47] ---
    Well, it is summer vacation, but...
[15:49] ---
    It's a never-ending endless summer.
[15:52] ---
    This world has lost all time
    after September 1st.
[15:59] ---
    Who'd believe that?
[16:01] ---
    We'd like for you to believe it.
[16:06] ---
    Are we trapped inside
    one of those closed spaces?
[16:13] ---
    That's not it.
[16:15] ---
    A single portion of time has been torn away.
[16:19] ---
    At exactly the point when it
    becomes midnight on August 31st,
[16:22] ---
    everything resets, and we go back
    to August 17th. That's the process.
[16:28] ---
    So what about our...
    no, humanity's memories?
[16:30] ---
    Those are reset as well.
    Everything starts over from the beginning.
[16:37] ---
    So you mean that time
    does that thing that you mentioned.
[16:40] ---
    Well, we do have someone from
    the future here, I guess it can't be helped.
[16:44] ---
    Oh no, Miss Asahina isn't involved in this.
[16:50] ---
    Okay then, what's the culprit?
[16:52] ---
    I would guess Miss Suzumiya.
[16:55] ---
    I'm sure she doesn't realize it,
    but somewhere inside of her
[16:59] ---
    is a desire to not let summer vacation end.
[17:02] ---
    What the heck? Do you mean
    she feels regret over something?
[17:06] ---
    That's what I believe.
[17:08] ---
    Perhaps she feels that there's something left
[17:11] ---
    that she wants to do
    during our summer vacation?
[17:13] ---
    Man, the hopeless situations
    she causes unfold on a galactic scale.
[17:18] ---
    So, what are you saying I should do?
[17:20] ---
    If we knew that,
    we would have this problem solved.
[17:24] ---
    I've been wondering this since I got here,
    but you seem awfully cheerful about this.
[17:29] ---
    It's because we've finally
    been able to solve the mystery
[17:31] ---
    of the frequent feelings
    of déjà vu that I've had recently,
[17:34] ---
    and that you may have had, too.
[17:36] ---
    Now that I think about it,
    those inexplicable feelings may have been
[17:40] ---
    remnants from when
    our memories have been reset.
[17:44] ---
    Is it possible that other people
    across the world feel this, too?
[17:47] ---
    It doesn't seem that way.
    You and I are a special case.
[17:51] ---
    What about Haruhi?
    Does she sense any of this at all?
[17:56] ---
    Not at all, it seems. It would
    probably be bad for us if she did.
[18:04] ---
    However, I believe that there is
    one person who remembers everything,
[18:09] ---
    more than the déjà vu that we do.
[18:13] ---
    And who would that be?
[18:15] ---
    I think you know, even without my saying.
[18:19] ---
    Is that right?
[18:20] ---
    It is.
[18:22] ---
    You remember all of it?
[18:24] ---
    Right.
[18:25] ---
    So, how many times have we
    repeated all of this, this time?
[18:29] ---
    This is the 15,527th time.
[18:33] ---
    15,527?
[18:36] ---
    What do you mean by 15,527?
    Nagato, what are you saying?
[18:42] ---
    Are you serious?
[18:45] ---
    I am.
[18:46] ---
    You're saying that we've done
    the exact same things that many times?
[18:51] ---
    They're not all guaranteed to happen.
[18:53] ---
    Out of 15,527 repetitions,
    there are two occasions,
[18:58] ---
    #2,391 and ♪11,054,
    where we did not go to a Bon festival.
[19:02] ---
    A pattern where we did go to a Bon festival,
[19:04] ---
    but did not go to a goldfish
    scooping stand, occurred 437 times.
[19:08] ---
    We've had a part-time job
    9,052 times, and when we did,
[19:11] ---
    there were six different
    kinds of jobs that we did.
[19:13] ---
    In addition to handing out balloons,
    we also worked as movers,
[19:16] ---
    cashiers, we handed out flyers--
[19:20] ---
    That's... enough.
[19:27] ---
    See you later.
[19:32] ---
    15,527 times, that's what Nagato said.
[19:37] ---
    Times two weeks, hmm,
    that's around 595 years.
[19:43] ---
    She alone has memories of all that time,
    repeating it all over and over...
[19:51] ---
    Nagato, how must it feel to experience
    that same period of time over and over again?
[19:58] ---
    The next day, we went stargazing.
[20:01] ---
    The location was Nagato's apartment,
[20:03] ---
    and the telescope was one
    that Koizumi had gotten for us.
[20:07] ---
    I wonder if they exist.
[20:09] ---
    If what exist?
[20:11] ---
    Martians.
[20:12] ---
    I kind of don't want them to.
[20:14] ---
    When man finally sets foot on Mars,
[20:16] ---
    I'm sure that they'll come out
    from under their cover and welcome us,
[20:20] ---
    saying, "Welcome to Mars!"
[20:23] ---
    Oh, I'm bored of this.
    UFOs. Let's look for UFOs.
[20:32] ---
    Exactly what does she want to do?
[20:34] ---
    Now what could that be?
[20:37] ---
    If we could figure that out,
    this would all be solved...
[20:42] ---
    How about trying this out?
[20:44] ---
    Give Miss Suzumiya
    a sudden embrace from behind,
[20:48] ---
    then whisper "I love you" into her ear.
[20:51] ---
    And who would be doing that?
[20:53] ---
    Is there anyone else who could
    fill the role other than you?
[20:57] ---
    I love you... No, I'm graduating
    from your control.
[21:01] ---
    All right, how about if I do it?
[21:06] ---
    I'm kidding. I'm lacking
    a certain something for the role.
[21:10] ---
    And all that would do is cause
    unnecessary confusion in Miss Suzumiya.
[21:17] ---
    Next, we went off to a batting center.
[21:22] ---
    Hey, Nagato,
[21:24] ---
    you were aware of this loop
    before Miss Asahina said anything, right?
[21:28] ---
    Yes.
[21:29] ---
    If that's the case,
    why didn't you say anything?
[21:34] ---
    It's my job to observe.
[21:38] ---
    I see.
[21:40] ---
    Home run
[21:46] ---
    We continued to run through
    a torrent of summer vacation events.
[21:49] ---
    A fireworks show. Goby fishing tournament.
[21:51] ---
    Test of courage. Movie watching.
    We went to the beach.
[21:54] ---
    We just kept going.
[21:57] ---
    Of course, I knew that this
    wasn't going to satisfy Haruhi.
[22:01] ---
    Even still, there wasn't
    anything I could do about it,
[22:04] ---
    and so we ended up at August 30th...
[22:10] ---
    With this, we've finished everything on our list.
[22:15] ---
    Hmm. I wonder if this was good enough.
[22:19] ---
    But, hmm, well... I guess this works.
[22:23] ---
    Hey, is there anything else you want to do?
[22:30] ---
    That's fine, then.
[22:32] ---
    We were able to do a lot this summer,
    so that's enough, right?
[22:37] ---
    No, it's not. You're still not satisfied.
[22:41] ---
    Okay, we're done for today.
[22:43] ---
    I had tomorrow set aside just in case,
    but you can just take the day off.
[22:48] ---
    Let's meet again in the clubroom
    the day after tomorrow.
[22:53] ---
    W-Wait, Haru--
[22:55] ---
    Okay, we're done for today.
[22:57] ---
    I had tomorrow set aside just in case,
    but you can just take the day off.
[23:02] ---
    There it is again!
[23:03] ---
    And it's a strong one,
    stronger than ever before.
[23:06] ---
    I can't let Haruhi leave.
[23:08] ---
    If she goes, we'll end up
    repeating these past two weeks
[23:12] ---
    for the some-thousandth time again.
[23:15] ---
    But what should I do?
[23:17] ---
    There must have been a hint
    somewhere in what Haruhi said.
[23:20] ---
    But what was it?
[23:22] ---
    What has she said up to this point?
[23:24] ---
    I don't know... I can't remember...
[23:34] ---
    August 31st.
[23:37] ---
    Impossible
[23:38] ---
    I haven't touched my homework.
[23:40] ---
    Whatever, it doesn't matter anymore.
[23:43] ---
    If we're just going to do it all over again,
    then there's no point to doing it.
[23:49] ---
    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
