[00:32] ---
    Something seems off.
[00:35] ---
    That's true. It just somehow felt that way.
[00:38] ---
    I had absolutely no interest in
    the prefectural baseball game on TV,
[00:43] ---
    but I kind of ended up
    rooting for the losing side.
[00:48] ---
    Once I did, I kind of got the feeling
    that Haruhi was going to start something.
[00:53] ---
    Incoming call: Haruhi Suzumiya
[00:55] ---
    What does she want?
[00:56] ---
    Kyon, the phone's ringing.
[00:58] ---
    I know, you don't have to tell me.
[01:01] ---
    You're not doing anything today, right?
[01:03] ---
    We're all meeting at exactly
    two o'clock in front of the station.
[01:06] ---
    Be sure to show up.
[01:08] ---
    I didn't even say anything...
[01:14] ---
    What?
[01:15] ---
    I forgot to mention this--
    bring a swimsuit and plenty of money.
[01:20] ---
    And be sure to bring your bike.
    That's all, over and out!
[01:24] ---
    I had the feeling that I knew
    what Haruhi was going to say.
[01:32] ---
    No, not quite.
[01:33] ---
    To be precise, it felt like this exact
    same conversation had happened before.
[01:38] ---
    I guess it's what you would call déjà vu.
[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
[03:20] ---
    Endless Eight VIII
[03:31] ---
    You're late, Kyon!
    Show some more motivation!
[03:34] ---
    Yeah, yeah.
[03:36] ---
    I came just for you.
[03:38] ---
    Oh, thank you.
[03:40] ---
    Okay, we're all here, so let's go.
[03:43] ---
    Go where?
[03:44] ---
    To the public swimming pool, of course!
[03:46] ---
    Well, I guess that makes sense
    considering what I brought.
[03:49] ---
    We have to do summer vacation-y
    things during our summer vacation!
[03:52] ---
    We can never get back
    the time that we've lost!
[03:56] ---
    And so we're going to
    do them now, during this,
[03:58] ---
    our one and only summer as tenth graders.
[04:01] ---
    Okay, Kyon and Koizumi,
[04:03] ---
    we're counting on you
    until we get to the pool.
[04:04] ---
    I'd rather not ask this,
    but counting on us for what?
[04:08] ---
    We're going on your bikes!
[04:16] ---
    Oh, the scent of chlorine.
    This really makes it feel like a pool!
[04:20] ---
    Woo hoo!
[04:21] ---
    No diving
[04:21] ---
    It's dangerous
[04:23] ---
    Restrain thyself. Canst thou
    not read the "no diving" signs?
[04:29] ---
    Hurry up and get in!
    The water's warm so it feels fine!
[04:37] ---
    In you go!
[04:42] ---
    That looks like fun.
[04:43] ---
    She has some rather normal ways
    of enjoying her time, don't you think?
[04:49] ---
    I don't think I can say that
    inviting someone to do something
[04:52] ---
    by calling them out of the blue,
    and only giving a general idea
[04:55] ---
    of what's going to happen as "normal."
[04:58] ---
    Well, there is the saying,
    "Strike while the iron is hot."
[05:01] ---
    Yeah, but when she strikes something,
[05:04] ---
    we've never gotten anything but bad luck.
[05:07] ---
    Even so, this is more than peaceful enough.
[05:11] ---
    Miss Suzumiya, laughing and
    having a good time like that,
[05:13] ---
    isn't likely to shake up the world, after all.
[05:19] ---
    What's wrong?
[05:21] ---
    It's nothing. It's probably just my imagination.
[05:24] ---
    Because so much has happened
    since the beginning of spring,
[05:26] ---
    I've become a little paranoid.
[05:33] ---
    Almost! Let's go one more time!
[05:54] ---
    Delicious. So strawberry and delicious!
[06:05] ---
    Jeez.
[06:06] ---
    I think it would be better to call this place
    a communal pool than a public pool.
[06:11] ---
    I wonder why Haruhi chose this place.
[06:19] ---
    There it is again, that strange sensation.
[06:22] ---
    It feels like I've seen this scene once before.
[06:25] ---
    Where Nagato kind of looks like she's bored...
[06:29] ---
    Kyon!
[06:32] ---
    Right, and then Haruhi says this...
[06:36] ---
    "These two are my brigade members."
[06:38] ---
    "They'll do anything you ask,
    so ask for anything you want!"
[06:41] ---
    Okay!
[06:42] ---
    Okay, let's have some fun!
    We're going to play water soccer.
[06:46] ---
    Yeah, yeah.
[06:48] ---
    Well, déjà vu isn't all that uncommon.
[06:54] ---
    I've been thinking about how
    we should spend our summer vacation.
[06:56] ---
    What do you think?
[06:59] ---
    What is this supposed to be?
[07:00] ---
    It's a schedule of how we'll spend
    the rest of our short summer vacation.
[07:04] ---
    A schedule for who?
[07:05] ---
    For us!
[07:07] ---
    I realized that we only have
    two weeks of summer vacation left.
[07:09] ---
    That fact blew me away.
[07:11] ---
    We still have so much left to do,
    but we've only got this much time left!
[07:17] ---
    We're going to pick up the pace!
[07:19] ---
    All this, in just two weeks?
[07:21] ---
    Is there anything else you want to do, Mikuru?
[07:23] ---
    Umm... I'd like to try goldfish scooping.
[07:27] ---
    Okay! Goldfish scooping...
[07:32] ---
    Pardon me for a moment.
[07:37] ---
    Thank you.
[07:38] ---
    We're starting tomorrow!
[07:40] ---
    Is there a place nearby having a Bon festival?
[07:43] ---
    A fireworks show works, too.
[07:45] ---
    At least try to find this stuff out first.
[07:47] ---
    I'll check around.
    I'll contact you when I find out.
[07:51] ---
    Okay, I'll leave it to you, Koizumi.
[07:56] ---
    All right, then, we're done for today!
[08:03] ---
    Nagato.
[08:08] ---
    Umm... no, it's nothing important.
[08:11] ---
    How have you been? Everything fine?
[08:13] ---
    Fine.
[08:14] ---
    That's good to hear.
[08:17] ---
    Right.
[08:19] ---
    Umm...
[08:23] ---
    Sorry for stopping you. You can go now.
[08:32] ---
    What the heck? Why did I talk to her?
[08:42] ---
    Koizumi was able to suddenly find a place
    that was holding a Bon festival the next day.
[08:47] ---
    Wow, so this is one of
    this era's summer attractions.
[08:53] ---
    I guess it makes sense
    for there to be this many people.
[09:05] ---
    Mikuru! They have goldfish
    scooping, just like you wanted!
[09:08] ---
    All the fish you can catch,
    and all the scoops you can break!
[09:11] ---
    You're not supposed to break them.
[09:16] ---
    You're interested in that stuff?
[09:18] ---
    Which one?
[09:19] ---
    It's all right.
[09:20] ---
    This one.
[09:21] ---
    Thanks, that'll be 800 yen.
[09:27] ---
    Thank you much.
[09:28] ---
    I kind of got the feeling
[09:29] ---
    that Nagato had been helping us out,
[09:30] ---
    so I thought it would be appropriate
    for me to at least buy her that, but...
[09:34] ---
    Wow, what a haul!
[09:36] ---
    But I don't need so many,
    so I just kept one for each of us.
[09:40] ---
    Now then, next up is fireworks!
[09:42] ---
    Let's launch some fireworks to end the day!
[09:44] ---
    Don't you understand
    the concept of getting tired?
[09:46] ---
    Well, I guess you could say
    that one of Haruhi's good points
[09:49] ---
    is that she's healthy and got a lot of stamina.
[09:58] ---
    Jeez, she's always so reckless!
[10:01] ---
    It was summer, and summer vacation.
[10:04] ---
    That's why I wanted to forget about it,
    but there was one thing lingering in my mind.
[10:10] ---
    Tomorrow we'll be catching bugs!
[10:12] ---
    Haruhi. It's fine to want to play around,
[10:14] ---
    but are you finished
    with your summer homework?
[10:16] ---
    What? You can finish homework
    like that in just three days.
[10:20] ---
    Three days?!
[10:21] ---
    You get that stuff out of the way so you can
    have fun without having to worry about it.
[10:26] ---
    That's how you enjoy your summer vacation.
[10:29] ---
    Why is she so smart?
[10:31] ---
    It seems like the guys
    up in heaven that were divvying up
[10:33] ---
    the stats for us were pretty unfair.
[10:35] ---
    Everyone, we'll be catching bugs tomorrow!
[10:38] ---
    Whoever catches the most bugs...
[10:41] ---
    Okay, they'll get to be
    the brigade leader for a day!
[10:45] ---
    There's a title I don't want at all.
[10:47] ---
    That sounds interesting. Are any bugs okay?
[10:51] ---
    Hmm... only cicadas!
[10:53] ---
    That's it, this will be the SOS Brigade's
    Cicada Capturing Competition!
[10:59] ---
    The next day was yet again a beautiful day.
[11:00] ---
    Come back here, cicada!
[11:02] ---
    And so, as we expected,
    or something to that effect,
[11:05] ---
    the winner ended up being Haruhi.
[11:07] ---
    A catch and release attitude
    is important, right?
[11:11] ---
    If we let them go, then they
    might come back to repay us.
[11:15] ---
    If someone went back to the person
    that caught them and then just let them go,
[11:19] ---
    then I'd say they really were
    about as smart as a bug.
[11:22] ---
    There you go! Go back to the mountains!
[11:35] ---
    W-Welcome!
[11:38] ---
    The next day, we had a part-time job
    that our brigade leader had procured for us.
[11:42] ---
    Here you are.
[11:44] ---
    Here...
[11:45] ---
    Can I have one?
[11:46] ---
    Here you go.
[11:47] ---
    Thanks!
[11:48] ---
    Wearing a costume in heat like this
    isn't a job, it's an endurance competition.
[11:56] ---
    I said, our payment is Mikuru's costume.
[11:59] ---
    I've wanted this for a while.
[12:03] ---
    The owner said that he'd
    give it to us for Mikuru's sake.
[12:06] ---
    We worked, sweat pouring
    down our foreheads, for that?
[12:09] ---
    Let's hang this frog up
    in the clubroom as a memento.
[12:12] ---
    Mikuru, you can wear it whenever
    you want. You have my permission!
[12:31] ---
    Damn it...
[12:34] ---
    Hello?
[12:39] ---
    Kyon...
[12:41] ---
    Hello? Miss Asahina?
[12:43] ---
    Yes, it's me...
[12:45] ---
    Something... very not good has...
[12:48] ---
    At this rate, I...
[12:50] ---
    Is this really Miss Asahina?
[12:52] ---
    Oh, hello, this is Koizumi.
[12:54] ---
    Why are you with Miss Asahina at this hour?
[12:56] ---
    Certain circumstances came up.
    Quite alarming ones, at that.
[13:00] ---
    We've got an emergency situation.
[13:05] ---
    Sorry to call you out so late at night.
[13:07] ---
    What in the world happened, Miss Asahina?
    I'm going to kill you, Koizumi.
[13:11] ---
    Kyon...
[13:15] ---
    I... can't go back to the future...
[13:25] ---
    Well... because of "classified information,"
    I'm always contacting the future
[13:29] ---
    and "classified information" -ing,
[13:32] ---
    but I hadn't received any
    "classified information"
[13:35] ---
    for about a week or so,
    and I thought, "that's strange."
[13:38] ---
    And so I "classified information"...
[13:40] ---
    I was so surprised, I tried to
    "classified information,"
[13:45] ---
    but it was completely "classified information."
[13:48] ---
    Oh, what do I do?
[13:52] ---
    Could it be that your "classified information" s
[13:54] ---
    are things that cannot be said on television?
[13:57] ---
    In other words, this is what's going on.
[13:59] ---
    We are going through
    an eternal loop of the same time period.
[14:03] ---
    To be precise, we've been repeating
    the time from August 17th to the 31st.
[14:08] ---
    This world has lost all time
    after September 1st.
[14:12] ---
    It's natural that Miss Asahina
    cannot go back to the future.
[14:16] ---
    The future itself no longer exists.
[14:18] ---
    What's natural about there being
    no future? Who'd believe it?
[14:22] ---
    We'd like for you to believe it.
[14:25] ---
    They say that the believers will be saved,
[14:28] ---
    but I've yet to be saved
    from a hardship, even once.
[14:31] ---
    So, what's the culprit?
[14:34] ---
    You really don't know?
[14:36] ---
    I don't want to.
[14:39] ---
    I would guess Miss Suzumiya.
[14:43] ---
    I'm sure she doesn't realize it,
    but I would guess that
[14:46] ---
    somewhere inside of her is a desire
    to not let summer vacation end.
[14:51] ---
    What the heck? Do you mean
    she feels regret over something?
[14:54] ---
    That's what I believe.
[14:56] ---
    Perhaps she feels that there's
    something left that she wants to do
[14:59] ---
    during our summer vacation.
[15:01] ---
    Man, the hopeless situations
    she causes unfold on a galactic scale.
[15:07] ---
    Well, with this,
    we've finally been able to solve
[15:09] ---
    the recent mysterious
    and frequent feelings of déjà vu.
[15:12] ---
    You've been having them, too?
    Then is it possible that other people...
[15:17] ---
    It doesn't seem that way.
[15:19] ---
    It appears that the people
    who are closest to Miss Suzumiya
[15:22] ---
    are able to sense this strangeness.
[15:25] ---
    However, I believe that there is
    one person who remembers everything,
[15:30] ---
    more than the déjà vu that we do.
[15:34] ---
    And who would that be?
[15:36] ---
    I think you already know.
[15:41] ---
    Is that right?
[15:42] ---
    It is.
[15:43] ---
    You remember all of it?
[15:45] ---
    Right.
[15:46] ---
    So, how many times have we
    repeated all of this, this time?
[15:51] ---
    This is the 15,532nd time.
[16:02] ---
    15,532?
[16:05] ---
    Nagato, what are you saying?
[16:09] ---
    Are you serious?
[16:11] ---
    I am.
[16:12] ---
    You're saying that we've done
    the exact same things that many times?
[16:17] ---
    They're not all guaranteed to happen.
[16:20] ---
    Out of 15,532 repetitions,
    there are two occasions,
[16:25] ---
    #2,391 and ♪11,054,
    where we did not go to a Bon festival.
[16:29] ---
    A pattern where we did go to a Bon festival,
[16:31] ---
    but did not go to a goldfish
    scooping stand, occurred 437 times.
[16:34] ---
    We've had a part-time job 9,056 times,
[16:37] ---
    and when we did, there were
    six different kinds of jobs.
[16:39] ---
    In addition to handing out balloons,
    we also worked as movers,
[16:41] ---
    cashiers, we handed out flyers, call center...
[16:43] ---
    No! That's enough...
[16:51] ---
    This is the 15,532nd time,
    that's what Nagato said.
[16:56] ---
    Times two weeks, hmm,
    that's around 595 years.
[17:01] ---
    She alone has memories of all that time,
[17:05] ---
    repeating it all over and over...
[17:09] ---
    Nagato, how must it feel to experience
    that same period of time over and over again?
[17:21] ---
    I've heard yet another crazy story.
[17:29] ---
    The next day we went stargazing.
[17:33] ---
    The location was Nagato's apartment.
[17:35] ---
    Haruhi was looking through
    the telescope at first, but...
[17:43] ---
    Exactly what does she want to do?
[17:45] ---
    Now what could that be?
[17:47] ---
    If we could figure that out,
    this would all be solved...
[17:52] ---
    How about trying this out?
[17:54] ---
    Give Miss Suzumiya
    a sudden embrace from behind
[17:57] ---
    then whisper "I love you" into her ear.
[18:00] ---
    And who would be doing that?
[18:01] ---
    Is there anyone else who could
    fill the role other than you?
[18:04] ---
    It's my turn! I activate The Veto.
[18:07] ---
    All right, how about if I do it?
[18:18] ---
    I'm kidding. I'm lacking
    a certain something for the role.
[18:21] ---
    And all that would do is cause
    unnecessary confusion in Miss Suzumiya.
[18:33] ---
    We continued to run through
    a torrent of summer vacation events.
[18:37] ---
    We went to a real fireworks show,
[18:40] ---
    and we even took part
    in a goby fishing tournament.
[18:42] ---
    We also had a test of courage,
    watched some movies,
[18:45] ---
    went to the beach, went bowling,
    and even sang karaoke.
[18:48] ---
    We were always doing something.
[18:51] ---
    Of course, I knew that
    this wasn't going to satisfy Haruhi.
[18:55] ---
    Even so, there wasn't
    anything I could do about it,
[18:58] ---
    and the last days of our
    summer vacation ticked away.
[19:03] ---
    And so we ended up at August 30th...
[19:12] ---
    With this, we've finished everything on our list.
[19:20] ---
    I wonder if this was good enough.
[19:25] ---
    But, hmm, well... I guess this works.
[19:28] ---
    Hey, is there anything else you want to do?
[19:42] ---
    That's fine, then.
[19:43] ---
    We were able to do a lot this summer,
    so that's enough, right?
[19:47] ---
    No, it's not. You're still not satisfied.
[19:53] ---
    Okay, we're done for today.
[19:55] ---
    I had tomorrow set aside just in case,
    but you can just take the day off.
[19:59] ---
    Let's meet again in the clubroom
    the day after tomorrow.
[20:01] ---
    W-Wait, Haruhi...
[20:07] ---
    T-There it is again!
    And it's stronger than ever before!
[20:11] ---
    It's proof that we've done all this
    tens of thousands of times.
[20:15] ---
    I can't let Haruhi leave.
[20:17] ---
    If she goes, we'll end up
    repeating these past two weeks again.
[20:21] ---
    But what should I do?
[20:23] ---
    There must have been a hint
    somewhere in what Haruhi said.
[20:26] ---
    What? What? What?
[20:28] ---
    Remember. You've got to remember.
[20:30] ---
    It's something I'm worried about,
    but I'm putting off...
[20:33] ---
    If I don't do something,
    she'll go home. I can't let it happen.
[20:37] ---
    If I do, nothing will change.
[20:38] ---
    What have we done up to this point?
[20:41] ---
    What didn't we do?
[20:44] ---
    There's no time to think.
    It doesn't matter if it doesn't work,
[20:48] ---
    just say something, anything!
[21:06] ---
    I still have something I want to do!
[21:18] ---
    That's right, homework!
[21:19] ---
    What are you talking about?
[21:21] ---
    I haven't done a single bit
    of my summer homework.
[21:24] ---
    Until I do, my summer isn't over!
[21:27] ---
    Are you stupid or something?
[21:28] ---
    Koizumi! Are you finished yet?
[21:30] ---
    No, I'm only halfway done because
    we were rushing around so much.
[21:33] ---
    Then let's work on it together.
[21:35] ---
    Nagato, you come over, too.
    You're still not done yet, right?
[21:37] ---
    Miss Asahina, please come, too.
[21:39] ---
    What? But where?
[21:41] ---
    Let's do this at my house.
[21:42] ---
    Bring all of your notebooks and textbooks,
    and let's do it all together.
[21:47] ---
    We're going to finish off
    all of our summer activities.
[21:49] ---
    Nagato, Koizumi, let me copy
    the stuff you've finished.
[21:52] ---
    Right.
[21:53] ---
    All right, we're starting tomorrow morning.
[21:56] ---
    We're going to do what we can in one day!
[21:58] ---
    Wait right there.
[22:04] ---
    Don't you just make a decision like that!
[22:06] ---
    I'm the leader. At times like this,
    you need to ask my opinion first.
[22:10] ---
    Kyon, acting without
    my permission is against the rules!
[22:21] ---
    I'm going too!
[22:58] ---
    It looks like I hit the jackpot.
[23:01] ---
    Miss Suzumiya is a smart and talented person.
[23:04] ---
    She's probably always been that way.
[23:07] ---
    So she probably never considered the idea
[23:10] ---
    that summer homework could be a burden.
[23:13] ---
    And so she probably never had to
    divide work up with her friends.
[23:22] ---
    It was the first day of the term,
    so I could have gone home,
[23:25] ---
    but I ended up coming here,
[23:27] ---
    and so here I sit with Koizumi,
    who showed up in the same way.
[23:31] ---
    Frighteningly, yet importantly,
    Nagato wasn't there.
[23:35] ---
    You couldn't see it on her face,
    but she might have been exhausted.
[23:42] ---
    The idea that we experienced the latter half
    of August tens of thousands of times
[23:45] ---
    feels like it was all made up.
[23:48] ---
    I don't blame you for feeling that way.
[23:51] ---
    The "us" of here and now
    don't share any memories
[23:54] ---
    with the "us" that experienced
    the sequence of the previous 15,531 times.
[23:58] ---
    This is because the 15,532nd time around,
[24:01] ---
    we were able to return
    to the normal flow of time.
[24:06] ---
    How about a game of poker?
[24:09] ---
    Sure thing. I don't have any money, though.
[24:12] ---
    Then we'll play for fun.
[24:15] ---
    But I did get a hint.
[24:17] ---
    That repeated déjà vu. Especially the last one,
[24:21] ---
    it might have been sent from
    the previous versions of ourselves.
[24:26] ---
    I can be here, now,
[24:28] ---
    thanks to the "us" that went through
    those two weeks beforehand.
[24:32] ---
    If I don't think of it that way,
[24:34] ---
    then it would be like me saying that
    all of the summers that they went through,
[24:37] ---
    with Haruhi treating them
    like they didn't exist, were for nothing.
[24:44] ---
    Want any new cards?
[24:45] ---
    Nope.
[24:46] ---
    Me either.
[24:48] ---
    If I had the chance to redo this day...
[24:54] ---
    ...I'd like to remember
    to play this hand for money.
[24:58] ---
