    Mi-Mi-Miracle Mikurun-run.
[00:26] ---
    The Adventures of Mikuru Asahina Episode 00
[00:34] ---
    The silly, surreal movie
[00:34] ---
    Even you who can't honestly...
[00:36] ---
    created by a zany director/producer...
[00:38] ---
    ...saw its completion thanks to
    an all-night editing process.
[00:44] ---
    The SOS Brigade was welcoming
    a serene arts festival opening day.
[00:49] ---
    Luckily, Haruhi was volunteering
    to do all planning and promotion...
[00:55] ---
    ...so after I gave the finished DVD
    to the film club, who's showing it...
[00:59] ---
    ...I've been wandering
    with a cloudless conscience...
[01:02] ---
    North High
[01:02] ---
    ...enjoying the festival with a sleep-deprived head.
[01:07] ---
    Though there was one important duty
[01:09] ---
    that I couldn't avoid.

    The answer is always in my heart.

    The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
[01:31] ---
    I don't know why, but I chose you.
[01:38] ---
    It won't stop now. Mr. Destiny deemed it so.
[01:44] ---
    I believe it's boring to just mimic.
[01:50] ---
    You'll be right, so I'll do what I feel as I feel it.
[01:59] ---
    It's an adventure, right, right?
[02:01] ---
    In this world where truth becomes fiction.
[02:06] ---
    We become stronger
    because we have dreams...
[02:10] ---
    ...not for the sake of someone.
[02:13] ---
    Please come with me.
[02:16] ---
    See me and my endlessly free self.
[02:22] ---
    Today's present that becomes
    tomorrow's past is the miracle.
[02:28] ---
    Let's grab the future.
[02:34] ---
    I believe you...
[02:43] ---
    Unlike my lethargic class
[02:44] ---
    that settled on an all-campus survey...
[02:44] ---
    Live Alive
[02:47] ---
    ...Nagato, Koizumi, and Miss Asahina
    were toiling on their works.

    ...hit your head on a sign

    ...and cause your girlfriend to fall.

    Her bag's contents will be scattered...

[03:07] ---
    Nagato, take it easy.

    In 10 minutes...

[03:14] ---
    Now, this world...
[03:16] ---
    ...in other words, nature,
    is governed by probability.
[03:19] ---
    Yet right now it's hard to say
    the theory of probability stands.
[03:24] ---
    Then it's more natural to think this way.
[03:27] ---
    That we're now in the supernatural...
[03:30] ---
    ...far away from what's considered natural.
[03:33] ---
    For instance, if there are six mice
[03:35] ---
    and we toss them in the air.
[03:35] ---
    What is this? Go on,
[03:37] ---
    Then according...
[03:37] ---
    but show us where we should laugh.
[03:39] ---
    Ring Toss
[03:42] ---
    Yo.
[03:43] ---
    Any luck?
[03:45] ---
    Not too much.
[03:47] ---
    Just the Ping-Pong club's ice cream.
[03:49] ---
    The 3-3 oden too.
[03:51] ---
    2-5 really skimped on
    the chocolate on their bananas...
[03:55] ---
    What, nothing but food?
[03:57] ---
    We're food sampling.
[03:59] ---
    Well, let's go to
    the real thing, the cosplay café.
[04:03] ---
    The bunny girl surprised me that time...
[04:05] ---
    I wonder what she'll wear now.
[04:07] ---
    Still, saying we'd be in a movie,
    then diving underwater for free...
[04:12] ---
    ...and getting 30% off
    yakisoba for getting soaked?
[04:15] ---
    What a gyp.
[04:17] ---
    Then don't come. Just go home.
[04:19] ---
    But no, I have to look at
    Miss Asahina in her cosplay glory first.
[04:23] ---
    A waitress in a tiny miniskirt like in the movie?
[04:27] ---
    Don't compare them to Haruhi's dirty mind.
[04:30] ---
    A waitress outfit handmade by her classmate...
[04:33] ---
    I look forward to this.
[04:36] ---
    Hey, Kyon and his friends!
    Over here, over here!
[04:40] ---
    Welcome! Three customers, thank you!
[04:43] ---
    Well? Don't you think this outfit looks good?
[04:47] ---
    So?
[04:49] ---
    Well, it's a packed house.
[04:52] ---
    The fish took the bait!
    It's bad, cheaply made yakisoba...
[04:56] ---
    ...but we're in demand. We're raking it in!
[04:59] ---
    I can't stop laughing!
[05:01] ---
    I'm sure it's not by chance
    that only guys are in this long line.
[05:05] ---
    Oh, that's the end of the line. Get in line.
[05:09] ---
    Please pay in advance!
[05:11] ---
    The only menu items are yakisoba and water.
[05:14] ---
    Yakisoba is 300 yen,
    and tap water is free and bottomless!
[05:18] ---
    Then here...
[05:19] ---
    Let's see... Three, right?
[05:21] ---
    Then 500 yen total! What a great deal!
[05:28] ---
    Then hold on for a second.
    Your turn will be coming shortly.
[05:34] ---
    She's so hyper...
[05:36] ---
    Is she with you and Suzumiya?
[05:38] ---
    No.
[05:40] ---
    By the way, split the change.
[05:42] ---
    So sharp.
[05:43] ---
    Miss Tsuruya's "shortly"
    was about 30 minutes.
[05:48] ---
    Sit down. Hey, three waters!
[05:48] ---
    Waiting a while, we got in the "store" at last.
[05:51] ---
    Okay!
[05:54] ---
    Welcome!
[05:55] ---
    All right!
[05:55] ---
    A dazzling, top waitress
[05:57] ---
    who'd stun a million-dollar night scene.
[06:00] ---
    It's a different glimmer than in the clubroom.
[06:03] ---
    Welcome, thank you for stopping by.
[06:09] ---
    Um...
[06:10] ---
    I'm Taniguchi!
[06:10] ---
    I'm Kunikida!
[06:12] ---
    Thanks for the movie stuff.
[06:14] ---
    I see. If they allowed photography,
[06:14] ---
    Please refrain from photography.
[06:14] ---
    Moe noodles!
[06:17] ---
    there'd be a big riot.
[06:18] ---
    I'd like to give them a good design award.
[06:21] ---
    And the two are right off the cover
[06:25] ---
    of a teens' fashion magazine...
[06:25] ---
    Please wait a moment.
[06:26] ---
    -...perfecting this already-great sight.
[06:28] ---
    Mikuru's in charge of taking tickets.
[06:31] ---
    That and clearing plates and refills.
[06:34] ---
    If she held the yakisoba,
    she might trip and dump them over!
[06:37] ---
    Impressive. She fully understands.
[06:40] ---
    In the end,
    pressured by the quick turnaround...
[06:43] ---
    ...we devoured the yakisoba in five minutes...
[06:46] ---
    ...and left feeling unsatisfied.
[06:48] ---
    3-5 Takoyaki North High Fest
[06:48] ---
    Get more desires than possible!
[06:48] ---
    What now?
[06:50] ---
    I'd like to watch the movie Kyon's group made.
[06:52] ---
    I'd like to check how I ended up.
[06:55] ---
    I don't want to see that.
[06:56] ---
    I concur, but somehow you saying so irks me.
[07:00] ---
    The yakisoba wasn't enough.
[07:03] ---
    The science club's barbecue party is next.
[07:05] ---
    You're eating more?
[07:07] ---
    But before that, let's pick up some chicks!
[07:11] ---
    Pick up?
[07:12] ---
    Go after normally dressed girls.
[07:14] ---
    If you approach a group of
    three or so, they'll tag along pretty easily.
[07:20] ---
    That's the rule I've experienced.
[07:22] ---
    What good does that do
    when the success rate's close to zero?
[07:26] ---
    I'll pass. You two can go.
[07:29] ---
    I'll pass too.
[07:30] ---
    You can try, and if it works,
    introduce me to a friend of hers.
[07:34] ---
    What? You cowards.
[07:36] ---
    It's not that.
[07:38] ---
    If a certain person saw me hitting
    on a girl, trouble would ensue...
[07:43] ---
    Um, in other words...
[07:45] ---
    Well, at least enjoy the
    arts festival. In a normal sense.
[07:49] ---
    North High Fest
[07:54] ---
    Now, where should I go?
[08:10] ---
    You saw?
[08:11] ---
    I saw. It was so funny.
[08:17] ---
    A wind concert in the lecture hall...
[08:19] ---
    ...and a battle of the bands
    with the rock club and attendees.
[08:22] ---
    Bottles
[08:23] ---
    Since I can stay seated...
[08:25] ---
    ...it's the perfect place
    to rest this sleep-deprived body.

    Miss Suzumiya is very good.
[13:19] ---
    Miss Nagato too.
[13:20] ---
    What's with that outfit?
[13:22] ---
    I hurried over here...
[13:24] ---
    The rumor in the student council...
[13:26] ---
    ...was that Miss Suzumiya was
    doing something in the lecture hall.
[13:30] ---
    And that something is this?
[13:32] ---
    Well, every...
[13:34] ---
    Everyone, this is ENOZ.
[13:36] ---
    It's an acronym for Enomoto,
    Nakanishi, Okajima, Zaizen...
[13:40] ---
    ...the members' last names, it seems.
[13:44] ---
    But unfortunately...
[13:45] ---
    ...Enomoto and Nakanishi
    couldn't make it onstage today.
[13:49] ---
    Yuki here and I are subs, not actual members.
[13:53] ---
    Sorry about this.
[13:54] ---
    Then I'll introduce the actual members.
[13:58] ---
    Mizuki on drums!
[14:03] ---
    And Mai on bass!
[14:10] ---
    And the subs, Yuki on guitar!
[14:14] ---
    And I'm substitute vocals.
[14:17] ---
    The guitar's just hanging here though.
[14:19] ---
    And I'm not sure the vocals are good.
[14:22] ---
    I only had an hour to see the
    sheet music till now, so it's on the fly.
[14:30] ---
    Let's see. For those who
    want to listen to the real song...
[14:34] ---
    ...with real vocals and guitar,
    come to us after.
[14:37] ---
    If they bring a MiniDisc,
    why not let them dub the songs for free?
[14:43] ---
    How's that?
[14:44] ---
    Okay, it's a deal.
[14:48] ---
    Then one more.
[14:50] ---
    We had no time and only prepared
    two songs. So this is the last.
[14:54] ---
    You might not be satisfied,
    but we'll play our hearts out, so listen!
[14:59] ---
    Then here we go.

    I'd hear the whole story later.
[16:25] ---
    I ran out of movie fliers
    and was heading to the clubroom.
[16:30] ---
    By the shoeboxes, that band and
    the North High Festival Committee...
[16:34] ---
    ...were fighting over
    if the band would go onstage.
[16:38] ---
    Vocalist Enomoto was hospitalized
    the night before for tonsillitis...
[16:42] ---
    ...and guitarist Nakanishi
    tripped on that day, spraining her wrist...
[16:46] ---
    ...so the two couldn't perform.
[16:48] ---
    Miss Nakanishi, a senior,
    wanted to go since it was her last festival.
[16:53] ---
    And their songs are original too.
[16:55] ---
    But in the end, she was taken
    off campus to check her wrist...
[16:59] ---
    So you rolled up
    your sleeves and stepped in.
[17:02] ---
    I wasn't wearing sleeves though.
[17:05] ---
    Well, if I were them, I'd perform
    out of sheer will, voiceless or armless.
[17:10] ---
    No doubt.
[17:11] ---
    But looking at Miss Nakanishi then,
    I felt they were helpless.
[17:16] ---
    Don't you feel sorry for
    the members who could perform?
[17:19] ---
    They practiced so hard for this day.
[17:23] ---
    So I said this: "If that's the case,
    shall I go on as a sub?"
[17:28] ---
    I'm surprised the
    remaining members allowed it.
[17:31] ---
    I said just singing,
    and Miss Okajima and Miss Zaizen said...
[17:35] ---
    ... "If it's you, we could do it."
[17:37] ---
    I was in the rock club on a trial basis once...
[17:40] ---
    They might've recalled that.
[17:42] ---
    Her quirks and oddness may be famous...
[17:45] ---
    ...but she's also known as the
    all-purpose "super-utility player."
[17:50] ---
    Playing the guitar too would've
    been better, but we didn't have time.
[17:55] ---
    I had to go over the sheet music.
    I could only get the main chords.
[17:59] ---
    And Nagato...
[18:00] ---
    Right, I barged in on her fortunetelling...
[18:03] ---
    ...explained, and she came right away.
[18:06] ---
    Did you know she's rather dexterous?
[18:09] ---
    She just did a once-over and played perfectly!
[18:12] ---
    I wonder where she learned to play?
[18:15] ---
    Probably the moment you brought it up.
[18:18] ---
    Say, there are guests here.
[18:21] ---
    For Miss Suzumiya.
[18:30] ---
    Go talk to them.
[18:35] ---
    Come with me.
[18:39] ---
    Your tonsillitis is better now?
[18:41] ---
    Yes, much.
[18:42] ---
    And your wrist?
[18:43] ---
    It might take a while.
    Studying for college entrance is tough.
[18:47] ---
    Thank you, Miss Suzumiya.
[18:52] ---
    It's amazing. Requests for
    the original recording flooded in!
[18:57] ---
    We can't keep up with the dubbing.
[18:59] ---
    We're surprised at the sheer number.
[19:02] ---
    It's all thanks to you.
[19:05] ---
    Our songs didn't go to waste
    this way. We're really grateful.
[19:10] ---
    You were great.
[19:12] ---
    This festival is my last rock club memory,
    so I wanted to perform...
[19:17] ---
    But this was several times
    better than canceling.
[19:20] ---
    I see...
[19:21] ---
    We'd like to do something in return...
[19:24] ---
    It's okay.
[19:25] ---
    I had a good time, and they were good songs.
[19:28] ---
    I'd feel bad to get more on top of that.
[19:31] ---
    Before that, tell Yuki.
    I forced her to play after all.
[19:35] ---
    We just stopped by.
[19:37] ---
    She just nodded once and
    pointed towards this classroom.
[19:41] ---
    I see.
[19:42] ---
    We'll play live somewhere
    before we graduate.
[19:45] ---
    If you'd like, come watch us.
    Together with...
[19:48] ---
    ...your "friend."
[19:51] ---
    Since then, Haruhi wore
    a very complicated look.
[19:54] ---
    And when lunch break came, she hurried out.
[19:58] ---
    Really, there wasn't a decent girl
    visiting the arts festival.
[20:02] ---
    I think this school is built in the wrong place.
[20:05] ---
    We'd get more if it were flatter.
[20:14] ---
    After lunch, I wanted to walk
    and settle my stomach for some reason.
[20:18] ---
    No, there was no particular reason.
[20:28] ---
    Yo.
[20:39] ---
    What is it?
[20:48] ---
    We had no time,
    so we made a simpler arrangement.
[20:52] ---
    Of course people want to
    listen to the real thing.
[20:56] ---
    The MD requests, huh?
[20:58] ---
    Yeah.
[21:00] ---
    But that was some performance,
    on the fly and all.
[21:03] ---
    Don't you think it was good publicity?
[21:06] ---
    If I had one more day,
    I could've made proper preparations.
[21:13] ---
    There's a bit of me asking
    if something like that was enough...
[21:18] ---
    How do you put it?
[21:20] ---
    I felt I was doing something at that moment.
[21:31] ---
    Somehow, I can't calm down. I wonder why?
[21:34] ---
    Like I'd know.
[21:37] ---
    You know, it's because you're
    not used to being thanked.
[21:43] ---
    You always do things
    nobody'd ever give their thanks to.
[21:47] ---
    What?
[21:49] ---
    You have something to say? If so, spill it.
[21:52] ---
    I'm sure it's nothing though.
[21:54] ---
    Keeping quiet isn't good
    for your mental health.
[21:58] ---
    It's nothing.
[22:04] ---
    Jeez!
[22:09] ---
    Hey, play any instruments?
[22:11] ---
    No.
[22:12] ---
    We can make do with practice.
[22:14] ---
    After all, we have a whole year.
[22:17] ---
    Come on...
[22:18] ---
    We should enter next year's
    North High Fest as a band.
[22:22] ---
    I'm the vocalist, Yuki's the guitarist...
[22:25] ---
    ...and Mikuru can hold a tambourine
    and be stage decoration.
[22:29] ---
    No, no...
[22:30] ---
    We have that movie sequel too.
[22:33] ---
    Yeah, next year'll be really busy.
[22:35] ---
    After all, your goals
    should always outscore last year's!
[22:40] ---
    Wait, wait...
[22:40] ---
    Now, let's go, Kyon.
[22:42] ---
    Where to?
[22:43] ---
    To gather materials.
[22:46] ---
    To the rock club clubroom. If we go,
    they'll have junk lying around.
[22:50] ---
    To ask them and
    Miss Nakanishi how to compose.
[22:53] ---
    Don't worry. I'll write, compose,
    produce, and choreograph.
[22:58] ---
    Not right now.
[22:59] ---
    What do you mean? A year'll fly by!
[23:02] ---
    And choreograph? Isn't it a band?
[23:04] ---
    We need it.
    We'll create a new image for bands!
[23:08] ---
    Aren't you confusing pop idols with a band?
[23:18] ---
    If we figured out the globe
    like we would a riddle...
[23:24] ---
    ...we could all go anywhere together.
[23:27] ---
    To the end of time, BOOOON!
[23:30] ---
    This feeling that is a warp and a loop.
[23:34] ---
    With an imagination that engulfs
    anything and everything, let's play.
[23:40] ---
    Something on one sunny day,
    more fun than any magic possible...
[23:45] ---
    ...endlessly pours down. It's not impossible.
[23:51] ---
    When we meet again tomorrow,
    we're all humming as we smile.
[23:57] ---
    Let's gather happiness. Such a thing is so easy.
[24:02] ---
    Chase after me. Try to catch it.
[24:07] ---
    A big dream... You like dreams, right?
