**[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*
