[00:24] ---
    Alien?
[00:26] ---
    I observe Haruhi Suzumiya...
[00:29] ---
    ...and report the information
    to the thought entity.
[00:32] ---
    I have been doing so
    since my birth three years ago.
[00:36] ---
    The three years were
    peaceful with no uncertainty.
[00:40] ---
    But lately, inescapable irregularities
    are in Haruhi Suzumiya's world.
[00:46] ---
    That is...
[00:47] ---
    ...you.
[00:53] ---
    The answer is always in my heart.
[01:00] ---
    The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
[01:08] ---
    I don't know why, but I chose you.
[01:14] ---
    It won't stop now. Mr. Destiny deemed it so.
[01:20] ---
    I believe it's boring to just mimic.
[01:26] ---
    You'll be right, so I'll do what I feel as I feel it.
[01:35] ---
    It's an adventure, right, right?
[01:37] ---
    In this world where truth becomes fiction.
[01:42] ---
    We become stronger
    because we have dreams...

[01:46] ---
    ...not for the sake of someone.
[01:49] ---
    Please come with me.
[01:52] ---
    See me and my endlessly free self.
[01:58] ---
    Today's present that becomes
    tomorrow's past is the miracle.

[02:03] ---
    Let's grab the future.
[02:10] ---
    I believe you...
[02:19] ---
    To the thought entity...
[02:20] ---
    The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya III
[02:21] ---
    ...this system's third planet
    at galaxy's end had no special value.
[02:26] ---
    But the planet called Earth
    by its inhabitants grew in importance...
[02:31] ---
    ...when bipedal animals developed
    the ability to think, or wisdom.
[02:36] ---
    This was because it might lead to breaking
    its autonomy's stagnating growth.
[02:43] ---
    Becoming self-aware is common
    in the universe's organic life...
[02:48] ---
    ...but only earthlings evolved
    it into a higher form, wisdom.
[02:52] ---
    The entity carefully,
    yet thoroughly, continued observing.
[02:56] ---
    Three years ago, it observed
    an atypic data flare-up on the surface.
[03:02] ---
    The information explosion
    from a bow-shaped island...
[03:05] ---
    ...wrapped the entire planet and
    surrounding outer space in no time.
[03:09] ---
    In its center was...
[03:11] ---
    Haruhi Suzumiya
[03:12] ---
    For three years, we have probed
    Haruhi Suzumiya from all angles.
[03:17] ---
    But to this day, her nature is unknown.
[03:19] ---
    Information explosion
    of unknown cause
[03:20] ---
    Even then, part of the thought entity...
[03:23] ---
    Analysis impossible
[03:23] ---
    ...still analyzes her,
    believing her the existing key...
[03:27] ---
    ...to the growth of human autonomy
    and them, astral creatures.
[03:32] ---
    As astral creatures...
[03:34] ---
    ...they can't communicate with organics,
    since they've no language.
[03:39] ---
    Humans have no means to
    relay concepts without language.
[03:43] ---
    So they created interfaces
    like me for humans.
[03:46] ---
    The Information Integration Thought Entity...
[03:49] ---
    ...can contact humans through me.
[03:53] ---
    She can latently evolve autonomy.
[03:57] ---
    She controls environmental
    information to her benefit.
[04:02] ---
    That is the reason I am here and you are here.
[04:06] ---
    Hold on.
[04:07] ---
    Honestly, I'm totally lost.
[04:10] ---
    Believe me.
[04:11] ---
    First of all, why me?
[04:13] ---
    No, I'll give in a bit...
[04:16] ---
    ...and trust this information,
    but why reveal yourself to me?
[04:21] ---
    Haruhi Suzumiya has chosen you.
    Knowingly or unknowingly...
[04:27] ---
    ...she affects things by turning
    will to absolute information.
[04:31] ---
    There's a reason you were chosen.
[04:33] ---
    No way.
[04:34] ---
    Yes way. You and she hold all the possibilities.
[04:38] ---
    You're serious?
[04:40] ---
    Of course.
[04:41] ---
    I thought the overly silent one
    had finally started to talk...
[04:45] ---
    ...and she goes on about insanities.
[04:48] ---
    I never thought that she was so out there...
[04:52] ---
    I'm sure Haruhi would be happy
    if you told her that stuff.
[04:56] ---
    I hate to say this,
    but I can't keep up with this talk.
[05:00] ---
    A majority of the thought entity understands...
[05:04] ---
    ...that if she realizes her worth
    and what her powers are...
[05:07] ---
    ...it would create unpredictable danger.
[05:11] ---
    We should observe for now.
[05:13] ---
    But I might tell Haruhi about what I just heard.
[05:17] ---
    She does not make much
    of the information you feed her.
[05:21] ---
    True.
[05:22] ---
    I am not the only interface
[05:24] ---
    the thought entity has on Earth.
[05:27] ---
    Part of its consciousness...
[05:30] ---
    ...is actively moving in order to
    observe information changes.
[05:34] ---
    You're the key to Haruhi Suzumiya.
[05:36] ---
    If there's any danger, it will come to you first.
[05:41] ---
    I can't deal with this.
[05:47] ---
    Humanoid inter-what?
[05:51] ---
    Aliens?
[05:54] ---
    She has weird daydreams
    since she reads this stuff all alone.
[05:59] ---
    I'm sure she doesn't talk to people
    in class and keeps to herself.
[06:04] ---
    Both she and Haruhi should
    just enjoy a normal school life.
[06:10] ---
    The much-awaited transfer's here!
[06:12] ---
    Isn't it great? A mysterious
    transfer student for sure!
[06:16] ---
    You know he's mysterious
    without meeting him?
[06:19] ---
    I said it before, right?
    Students that transfer during this period...
[06:23] ---
    ...are likely mysterious transfer students!
[06:26] ---
    Who gathered those statistics and when?
[06:29] ---
    If mysterious people are so likely,
    by now all of Japan...
[06:34] ---
    I'll go look!
[06:35] ---
    She really doesn't listen.
[06:37] ---
    Literature Club
[06:38] ---
    At the clubroom after school,
    Miss Asahina bravely returned after a day.
[06:43] ---
    I'm surprised that you felt
    up to coming back to this room.
[06:48] ---
    I mulled it over for a bit,
    but it really got on my mind.
[06:51] ---
    I've heard something similar before...
[06:54] ---
    What's on your mind?
[06:57] ---
    Nothing.
[07:03] ---
    Want to take my spot, Nagato?
[07:06] ---
    Nagato, have you ever played Othello?
[07:19] ---
    Hey, sorry for the wait!
[07:20] ---
    A freshman transferred to class 9
    today and can join! His name...
[07:25] ---
    Itsuki Koizumi. Nice to meet you.
[07:27] ---
    This is the SOS Brigade.
    I'm the leader, Haruhi Suzumiya.
[07:31] ---
    Those three are members ♪1, ♪2, and ♪3.
[07:34] ---
    By the way, you're ♪4.
[07:36] ---
    Everyone, let's get along with each other!
[07:40] ---
    I don't mind joining,
    but what is this club about?
[07:46] ---
    I'll tell you what the SOS Brigade
    is set on doing! That is...
[07:54] ---
    ...to find aliens, future men,
    and espers and play with them!
[08:00] ---
    I thought the entire world came to a stop.
[08:03] ---
    That's a lie...
[08:05] ---
    I was just recalling Haruhi's
    first words in the entrance ceremony.
[08:10] ---
    Oh, I see... Nothing less
    from you, Miss Suzumiya.
[08:16] ---
    What did he see?
[08:17] ---
    All right, I'll join.
    Best regards for our future.
[08:21] ---
    Hey, was that explanation enough?
    Was he really listening?
[08:25] ---
    I'm Koizumi. I just transferred,
    so there's much to learn.
[08:29] ---
    Guide me well.
[08:31] ---
    Oh, I'm...
[08:32] ---
    That's Kyon.
[08:33] ---
    The cute one there is Mikuru,
    and the one with glasses is Yuki.
[08:41] ---
    You all right?
[08:42] ---
    And we now have our five,
    so we're done setting up as a club.
[08:48] ---
    I'm fine.
[08:50] ---
    Yeah! It's time for
    the SOS Brigade to be unveiled!
[08:54] ---
    Do your best and fight as one!
[08:58] ---
    What veil?
[08:59] ---
    Are you fine with being added
    as a member on a whim, Nagato?
[09:04] ---
    Soon, the next day after school.
[09:06] ---
    Come with me.
[09:07] ---
    Hurry up and take those clothes off!
[09:16] ---
    Sorry.
[09:17] ---
    When you think moe, you think maid.
[09:20] ---
    Every school story needs one!
[09:23] ---
    What kind?
[09:25] ---
    Now, how about a photo to cherish this memory!
[09:29] ---
    Don't...
[09:30] ---
    Lower your chin. Hold the apron.
[09:33] ---
    Smile more!
[09:35] ---
    Kyon, take over.
[09:37] ---
    Mikuru, let's get a little bit more sexy...
[09:41] ---
    No, what are you...
[09:41] ---
    Come on, it's okay.
[09:44] ---
    What's good about it?
[09:46] ---
    Though it's strange
    to say that as I take pictures.
[09:50] ---
    Yuki, lend me your glasses.
[09:54] ---
    Glasses on.
[09:55] ---
    But what are these for?
[09:58] ---
    Yeah! Perfect!
[09:59] ---
    Lolita, great breasts,
    a maid, and glasses! Wonderful!
[10:03] ---
    No!
[10:05] ---
    Mikuru, when you're in this room,
    wear this outfit from now on.
[10:09] ---
    No way...
[10:11] ---
    What's this?
[10:12] ---
    Oh, good timing.
[10:14] ---
    Let's all play with Mikuru!
[10:15] ---
    That's enough.
[10:17] ---
    I'll pass. I fear the repercussions.
[10:21] ---
    Don't mind me. Go on.
[10:23] ---
    Stop her instead.
[10:25] ---
    Enough. Any further
    and you'll be breaking laws.
[10:29] ---
    What laws?
[10:31] ---
    Oh, well.
[10:32] ---
    I got lots of photos.
[10:35] ---
    Then right now, we'll start
    the SOS Brigade's first meeting!
[10:41] ---
    Till now, we've done all sorts of stuff.
[10:44] ---
    We've passed out flyers and made a homepage.
[10:47] ---
    Our popularity on campus is like
    eels swimming up a waterfall!
[10:52] ---
    What's so successful about
[10:52] ---
    So you could say that
[10:53] ---
    phase one was a big success!
[10:53] ---
    traumatizing Miss Asahina?
[10:57] ---
    But not one e-mail about
    strange phenomena has come...
[11:04] ---
    ...and no students have come
[11:07] ---
    It's not clear what we exactly do here anyway.
[11:07] ---
    to consult us about strange worries.
[11:11] ---
    We found out ourselves yesterday.
[11:11] ---
    It's said, "Good things come to those who wait."
[11:16] ---
    But it's no longer that era.
[11:19] ---
    Even if we have to dig holes all over the earth,
    we must find those good things.
[11:22] ---
    So let's search!
[11:24] ---
    For what?
[11:25] ---
    This world's mysteries!
[11:27] ---
    And so we're touring the city
    in search of mysterious phenomena.
[11:32] ---
    Kitaguchi Station at 9:00 next Saturday
    or face the death sentence.
[11:36] ---
    Death sentence?
[11:39] ---
    I don't want to waste my days off...
[11:43] ---
    You're late. You're fined!
[11:46] ---
    Haruhi's proposal was to split into
    two groups and search the city.
[11:50] ---
    Stay in touch via cell regarding strangeness.
[11:54] ---
    That's all.
[11:57] ---
    That's the split.
[11:58] ---
    I might be lucky today.
    If I can have a date with Miss Asahina...
[12:03] ---
    ...this place's bill is a small price to pay.
[12:07] ---
    Kyon, do you understand?
[12:09] ---
    This isn't a date. Do it seriously. Got it?
[12:12] ---
    I understand.
[12:15] ---
    It's seriously not a date.
    If you have fun, I'll kill you!
[12:19] ---
    With those words, Haruhi's team left
    to inspect the station's east side.
[12:24] ---
    Miss Asahina and I were told
    to search the west side...
[12:28] ---
    What should we do?
[12:30] ---
    Beats me.
[12:34] ---
    This is the first time I've walked like this.
[12:38] ---
    "Like this"?
[12:40] ---
    To walk alone with a boy...
[12:45] ---
    That's really unexpected.
    You never dated anyone before?
[12:49] ---
    Not at all.
[12:51] ---
    But don't you get
    asked out often, Miss Asahina?
[12:57] ---
    But I can't. I'm forbidden to date anyone.
[13:01] ---
    At least, not in this...
[13:08] ---
    Kyon, I'd like to discuss something.
[13:12] ---
    Miss Asahina, unable to talk for a while...
[13:15] ---
    ...finally broke up her sentences and said:
[13:18] ---
    You may not believe me...
[13:21] ---
    ...but I'm not someone from this age.
[13:24] ---
    I came from the far future.
[13:27] ---
    I can't say which time period
    or time plane I'm from.
[13:31] ---
    There are restrictions on telling people...
[13:34] ---
    Time is not something
    that is a continuous stream.
[13:39] ---
    Think about animation.
[13:41] ---
    It seems like it's in motion...
[13:44] ---
    ...but it's a series of still frames...
[13:47] ---
    The gap is infinitely close to zero though.
[13:51] ---
    Time warp is moving along
    the pile of third-dimension time planes.
[13:55] ---
    I'm from the future, so for this time plane...
[13:59] ---
    ...I'm like an extra picture
    drawn in the middle of a flipbook.
[14:03] ---
    What is it this time?
[14:05] ---
    Three years ago,
    a large time oscillation was detected.
[14:10] ---
    Three years ago from the current time.
[14:13] ---
    We came to the past to check
    and were surprised.
[14:16] ---
    We couldn't go further back
    in time no matter how we tried.
[14:21] ---
    We concluded there was
    a large time gap between the planes.
[14:26] ---
    We found the cause quite recently.
[14:29] ---
    Recently in the future I'm from.
[14:32] ---
    And the cause?
[14:34] ---
    Miss Suzumiya.
[14:35] ---
    This again?
[14:36] ---
    She was in the time distortion's center.
[14:39] ---
    I can't explain any more
    since it's classified information.
[14:43] ---
    But that Miss Suzumiya
    shut the path to the past is certain.
[14:47] ---
    I can't think that
    Haruhi could do such a thing.
[14:51] ---
    We're baffled too.
[14:53] ---
    Miss Suzumiya doesn't realize
    she's the time oscillation's cause.
[14:57] ---
    I was sent to monitor...
[14:59] ---
    ...whether there will be any new
    time anomalies near Miss Suzumiya.
[15:04] ---
    Well, sort of like a watchdog.
[15:07] ---
    I'm sure you can't believe such a thing.
[15:10] ---
    It's not that... But why are you telling me this?
[15:13] ---
    Because you were chosen by her.
[15:16] ---
    The details are classified...
[15:19] ---
    Most likely though,
    you're someone important to her.
[15:23] ---
    Every hand raised, every step is for a reason.
[15:26] ---
    And Nagato and Koizumi?
[15:28] ---
    They're in positions similar to mine.
[15:31] ---
    I never thought Miss Suzumiya
    could gather us all though.
[15:36] ---
    Do you know what they are?
[15:40] ---
    Classified information.
[15:42] ---
    What'll happen to Haruhi?
[15:44] ---
    Classified information.
[15:46] ---
    I'd think you'd know
    as one from the future.
[15:49] ---
    Classified information.
[15:51] ---
    Why don't you tell Haruhi directly?
[15:54] ---
    Classified information.
[15:58] ---
    Sorry, I'm not authorized to say anything now.
[16:02] ---
    You don't have to believe it,
    but I just wanted you to know.
[16:07] ---
    I heard a similar line from
    someone the other day.
[16:11] ---
    Sorry for bringing this up so suddenly.
[16:14] ---
    I don't really mind that.
[16:16] ---
    A person from the future after an alien?
[16:20] ---
    What's going on?
[16:21] ---
    If anyone can believe what I heard
    with a nod, please contact me.
[16:26] ---
    Take my place.
[16:28] ---
    Miss Asahina...
[16:29] ---
    Yes?
[16:30] ---
    Can we hold off?
[16:31] ---
    Putting aside whether or not
    to believe it... Just hold off?
[16:36] ---
    Sure.
[16:37] ---
    Can I ask one thing?
[16:39] ---
    What is it?
[16:41] ---
    Please tell me your real age.
[16:45] ---
    Classified information.
[16:47] ---
    Afterwards, Haruhi suddenly called my cell...
[16:51] ---
    ...and we met back at noon.
[16:53] ---
    Anything?
[16:54] ---
    Nothing.
[16:55] ---
    Were you really looking?
    You weren't just wandering, Mikuru?
[17:00] ---
    Did you find anything?
[17:03] ---
    At lunch, Haruhi said she wanted
    to split up in groups again.
[17:08] ---
    Unmarked again.
[17:15] ---
    We'll meet at the station at 4:00.
    Find something this time!
[17:21] ---
    We split up to search
    the north and south ends.
[17:25] ---
    We were assigned to the south side.
[17:27] ---
    About your story before...
[17:29] ---
    What?
[17:30] ---
    Somehow, I started feeling
    like it's all right to believe it.
[17:34] ---
    I see.
[17:36] ---
    If I were to pass time with her,
[17:38] ---
    this is about the only place.
[17:39] ---
    Library
[17:42] ---
    Oh, brother.
[17:53] ---
    What time do you think it is, idiot?
[17:55] ---
    Sorry, I just woke up.
[17:58] ---
    You stupid idiot!
[18:01] ---
    Was it 4:00?
[18:02] ---
    Get back here now! You have 30 seconds!
[18:06] ---
    Labor awaited.
[18:08] ---
    As Nagato wouldn't move without the book...
[18:11] ---
    ...I had a library card made for her.
[18:13] ---
    While ignoring Haruhi's incessant calls.
[18:17] ---
    You're late. You're fined!
[18:19] ---
    With no results in the end...
[18:21] ---
    ...this day's activities ended
    a frivolous use of time and money.
[18:26] ---
    Before it did, Miss Asahina...
[18:29] ---
    Thanks for listening.
[18:31] ---
    Whispering in my ear didn't feel all that bad.
[18:35] ---
    What were you doing today?
[18:37] ---
    What about you, huh?
[18:40] ---
    Were you able to find something interesting?
[18:43] ---
    The opponent isn't so unguarded
    that you'd find it in a day.
[18:49] ---
    We'll go over today's activities
    at school in two days.
[18:53] ---
    With those words, she left.
[18:58] ---
    Impounded
[18:59] ---
    Is this a dream?
[19:02] ---
    Monday. As I was sweating from
    the pre-rainy-season humidity...
[19:07] ---
    ...Haruhi came in right before the bell.
[19:10] ---
    Fan me too.
[19:11] ---
    Do it yourself.
[19:13] ---
    Suzumiya, you know
    the "blue bird of happiness" story?
[19:17] ---
    What of it?
[19:19] ---
    Well, it's nothing...
[19:21] ---
    Then don't ask.
[19:24] ---
    After being showered by Haruhi's
    unpleasant downer aura all day...
[19:29] ---
    ...I fled to the clubroom wing
    like a wild rat sensing a brush fire.
[19:34] ---
    I wanted to talk to someone.
[19:36] ---
    Koizumi, don't you have something
    to tell me about Suzumiya too?
[19:44] ---
    "Too" implies the other two
    already approached you about it.
[19:48] ---
    Yeah.
[19:49] ---
    With how much?
[19:51] ---
    Suzumiya isn't your ordinary person.
[19:54] ---
    Then that makes the story easy,
    as that is the case.
[19:58] ---
    Let's hear what you are first.
[20:00] ---
    As you may suspect, I am an esper.
[20:03] ---
    It's better to call it that for now.
[20:07] ---
    I really didn't plan on the transfer,
    but circumstances changed.
[20:12] ---
    Those two standing with
    Haruhi Suzumiya so easily...
[20:16] ---
    ...was unexpected.
[20:18] ---
    I'm sure I'll have a chance
    to tell you the details.
[20:21] ---
    A picture's worth a thousand words.
[20:23] ---
    I'd like to show you something,
    so I'll briefly summarize now.
[20:29] ---
    My "organization" has other espers as well.
[20:32] ---
    Actually, several agents
    have infiltrated this school.
[20:36] ---
    And we've watched Miss Suzumiya
    since its founding three years ago.
[20:41] ---
    Everything started three years ago.
    Something happened then.
[20:45] ---
    That was also when my powers
    came alive, so-called esper ones.
[20:49] ---
    How's Haruhi involved with that?
[20:53] ---
    Actually, my superiors believe
    this world is something like a dream...
[20:57] ---
    ...that some entity is showing us.
[21:00] ---
    And since it's all a dream, it's child's play...
[21:04] ---
    ...for that entity to create and
    change this world we call reality.
[21:09] ---
    We know the entity that can do that.
[21:11] ---
    That's Haruhi?
[21:13] ---
    People have defined "God" as such an entity.
[21:17] ---
    You've even been turned into God, Haruhi.
[21:21] ---
    Think about it.
[21:22] ---
    The existence of espers,
    Mikuru Asahina, and Yuki Nagato...
[21:28] ---
    Would we all coincidentally
    appear so as to group together?
[21:32] ---
    It's because Miss Suzumiya wished it so.
[21:35] ---
    Three years ago.
[21:37] ---
    You're saying she remade
    this universe three years ago?
[21:40] ---
    It's better to say the world started
    three years ago instead.
[21:46] ---
    Well, this is all just a hypothesis of ours.
[21:50] ---
    Well, okay. So what do you want with Haruhi?
[21:54] ---
    To prevent the world from
    being destroyed and remade...
[21:58] ---
    ...simply because we made God upset.
[22:01] ---
    I'm fond of this world to a certain extent.
[22:04] ---
    Why not ask her directly about this?
[22:07] ---
    There are members that assert we should do so.
[22:11] ---
    And others say to stimulate her further.
[22:14] ---
    But the consensus is we can't
    easily reach out and get involved.
[22:19] ---
    She doesn't realize her true powers yet.
[22:23] ---
    Then it's better she lives a peaceful life
    without realizing her potential.
[22:29] ---
    "Let sleeping gods lie," huh?
[22:31] ---
    That's correct.
[22:33] ---
    Maybe you're the ones
    that keep having dreams?
[22:37] ---
    Yes, that's also a possibility.
[22:39] ---
    But we're currently acting
    based on the worst-case scenario.
[22:45] ---
    Then as a test... You're an esper, right?
[22:48] ---
    Show me some of your power.
    I'll believe your words then.
[22:53] ---
    Like turning this coffee hot again.
[22:56] ---
    My powers are slightly different.
[23:00] ---
    Besides, I normally don't have any powers.
[23:03] ---
    I can first use my powers
    when all sorts of conditions pile up.
[23:07] ---
    As I said, I'll have a chance
    to show you at some point.
[23:12] ---
    Sorry for talking so long.
[23:14] ---
    That's it for today. Excuse me.
[23:20] ---
    Oh, right.
[23:21] ---
    The biggest mystery is you.
[23:23] ---
    I felt it rude, but I've done
    all sorts of research about you.
[23:27] ---
    I guarantee...
[23:29] ---
    ...that you are a normal human.
[23:36] ---
    Excuse me!
[23:42] ---
    You don't have to foolishly
    follow Haruhi's orders like that...
[23:54] ---
    In the end,
[23:56] ---
    Haruhi never showed up to the clubroom that day.
[23:56] ---
    Brigade Leader
[24:07] ---
    If we figured out the globe
    like we would a riddle...

[24:12] ---
    ...we could all go anywhere together.
[24:16] ---
    To the end of time, BOOOON!
[24:18] ---
    This feeling that is a warp and a loop.
[24:23] ---
    With an imagination that engulfs
    anything and everything, let's play.

[24:29] ---
    Something on one sunny day,
    more fun than any magic possible...

[24:34] ---
    ...endlessly pours down. It's not impossible.
[24:40] ---
    When we meet again tomorrow,
    we're all humming as we smile.

[24:45] ---
    Let's gather happiness. Such a thing is so easy.
[24:51] ---
    Chase after me. Try to catch it.
[24:56] ---
    A big dream... You like dreams, right?
