[00:23] ---
It was summertime.
[00:25] ---
And with final exams coming close,
[00:27] ---
my good mood was wandering about
somewhere in Brazil,
[00:30] ---
and it didn't seem like
it was going to come back.
[00:33] ---
Hey, do you know what day it is today?
[00:35] ---
Is it your birthday?
[00:37] ---
Nope.
[00:38] ---
Is it Miss Asahina's birthday?
[00:39] ---
Wrong!
[00:40] ---
Is it Koizumi or Nagato's birthday?
[00:42] ---
I don't know when those are!
[00:43] ---
By the way, my birthday is--
[00:45] ---
That doesn't matter.
[00:47] ---
You don't know what
an important day it is today, do you?
[00:51] ---
It's just a hot weekday to me.
[00:55] ---
Tell me what day of the month it is.
[00:58] ---
July seventh...
[01:00] ---
Are you saying that you've been
talking about Tanabata?
[01:04] ---
Of course I'm talking about Tanabata!
It's Tanabata today!
[01:07] ---
You're Japanese, you've got to
remember these kinds of things!
[01:11] ---
I see.
[01:12] ---
I always make sure to
take part in events like these.
[01:15] ---
This year, the whole SOS Brigade
is going to make this a huge affair!
[01:19] ---
And here we go.
[01:20] ---
The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya
[01:30] ---
Since this past spring, it's become my daily routine
[01:30] ---
Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody
[01:33] ---
to run aimlessly about this way and that
[01:36] ---
when Haruhi gets going about something.
[01:39] ---
I kind of hate the fact
that I'm getting used to it.
[01:44] ---
Yes?
[01:45] ---
Hey.
[01:47] ---
Hello.
[01:48] ---
How are you doing?
[01:50] ---
Things have been crazy for me
ever since I started high school.
[01:54] ---
Here you go.
[01:55] ---
Thank you.
[01:57] ---
You're welcome.
[01:58] ---
Would you like to try this out?
[02:00] ---
We'll eventually get bored
of Othello, after all.
[02:02] ---
Unfortunately, I don't know the rules.
[02:05] ---
That's too bad.
[02:06] ---
This is your only chance to be so carefree.
[02:09] ---
She's come up with another
harebrained scheme...
[02:12] ---
Hey ho! My bad, my bad, sorry I'm late!
[02:16] ---
Where the heck did you pick up
that branch and that greeting?
[02:18] ---
The forest behind the school.
[02:19] ---
That's someone's private property,
you bamboo thief.
[02:23] ---
Here, I also made tanzaku.
[02:25] ---
Write down your wishes, everyone!
[02:27] ---
Tanzaku?
[02:28] ---
I see. Today is Tanabata, after all.
[02:30] ---
There are conditions, however!
[02:32] ---
Conditions? Hold on, we haven't even
said that we're going to write anything.
[02:35] ---
Kyon, do you know who makes
wishes come true during Tanabata?
[02:40] ---
Orihime and Hikoboshi, right?
[02:42] ---
Well, that's correct. Ten points.
[02:44] ---
Okay, then, do you know which stars
Orihime and Hikoboshi are?
[02:47] ---
Nope.
[02:48] ---
That would be Vega and Altair, I believe.
[02:49] ---
Eighty-five points!
[02:51] ---
That's why you have to hang
your tanzaku facing those stars!
[02:54] ---
What about the other fifteen points?
[02:57] ---
Ahem!
[02:58] ---
Let me explain.
[03:00] ---
According to the theory of relativity,
[03:02] ---
it isn't possible to travel anywhere
faster than the speed of light.
[03:05] ---
Incidentally, Vega and Altair are
[03:07] ---
25 and 16 light years from Earth, respectively.
[03:08] ---
Vega - 25 light years
[03:09] ---
Altair - 16 light years
[03:10] ---
Which means!
[03:11] ---
That any information
that leaves the Earth will take
[03:13] ---
at least that much time
before it reaches those stars!
[03:15] ---
You went to the trouble to look that up?
[03:18] ---
That's why neither of the gods will be able
[03:20] ---
to make your wish come true
at least until that long after.
[03:23] ---
So if you wish for a boyfriend
by this Christmas or something,
[03:26] ---
it won't get there in time!
[03:27] ---
If it takes that long to go one way,
[03:29] ---
won't it take 50 years or 32 years
for it to make the round trip?
[03:32] ---
Well, they're gods,
so they'll think of something.
[03:36] ---
It's like a half-price summer bargain.
[03:37] ---
What happened to
"according to the theory of relativity"?
[03:40] ---
Here are two tanzaku,
one each for Vega and Altair.
[03:43] ---
So, write wishes that you want
to come true in 25 and 16 years!
[03:47] ---
We don't know what
we'll be doing in 25 or 16 years,
[03:52] ---
so what the heck should we be wishing for?
[03:55] ---
She's always thinking of
these unnecessary things.
[03:58] ---
Where in the universe does
she get her idea of "normal" from?
[04:02] ---
Now, you can't just say that.
[04:04] ---
Despite how it may seem,
[04:05] ---
Miss Suzumiya has a
proper understanding of "normal."
[04:08] ---
How do you figure that?
[04:10] ---
She wants the world to be more unusual.
[04:14] ---
And she has the power to remake the world.
[04:18] ---
But the world has not
lost its rationality. That's why.
[04:22] ---
Hey there! No private discussions!
[04:26] ---
I hope to get better at sewing.
[04:26] ---
I hope to get better at cooking.
[04:28] ---
I think she might have
the wrong idea about this.
[04:30] ---
Harmony
[04:30] ---
Innovation
[04:32] ---
My family's well-being
[04:32] ---
World Peace
[04:33] ---
Mine might be a bit on the ordinary side.
[04:36] ---
Gimme money
[04:36] ---
Give me a house
with a yard big enough to wash a dog in
[04:37] ---
How crass.
[04:38] ---
Shut it.
[04:39] ---
I want the rotation of the Earth
to go in the opposite direction.
[04:39] ---
Make the world revolve around me.
[04:40] ---
Mine are much better than yours.
[04:42] ---
It's a difference of values.
[04:44] ---
Be sure to remember
what you wrote, everyone.
[04:47] ---
The first checkpoint will be
in sixteen years, after all.
[04:50] ---
The challenge is to see
whose wish Hikoboshi grants!
[04:58] ---
Sixteen years, huh?
[05:00] ---
That's a long time...
[05:13] ---
After that,
[05:15] ---
Haruhi was strangely quiet,
and seemed to be melancholy.
[05:18] ---
Her being so docile was,
strangely enough, eerie.
[05:22] ---
The quieter she was, the more
I was worried about the backlash.
[05:26] ---
Would you like some more?
[05:29] ---
Yes, please.
[05:38] ---
Shh.
[05:40] ---
So cute.
[05:44] ---
Please stay in the clubroom,
even after we're finished. Mikuru
[05:46] ---
But of course!
[05:58] ---
I'm going home now.
[05:59] ---
Last person out lock the door, okay?
[06:05] ---
In that case, I'll be going, too.
[06:08] ---
Lucky me!
[06:12] ---
Hey...
[06:14] ---
If you'll excuse me.
[06:16] ---
Right.
[06:18] ---
Thank goodness we were able
to stay behind so naturally.
[06:21] ---
Is this something that it would
be bad for the others to hear?
[06:25] ---
Yes...
[06:27] ---
There's a particular place that
I want you to come with me to.
[06:31] ---
That's fine. Where are we going?
[06:34] ---
Umm...
[06:37] ---
Three years... ago...
[06:39] ---
Thr...
[06:41] ---
I'm sorry to be making
such a strange request!
[06:45] ---
You can't?
[06:47] ---
So this would be time travel, then?
[06:50] ---
Yes, that's right.
[06:51] ---
I'm all right with going, but...
[06:54] ---
Why me, and what are we going to do?
[06:56] ---
That... You'll know when we get there.
[07:01] ---
Probably.
[07:03] ---
Please, don't ask
anything else, just say yes!
[07:06] ---
If you don't, then I...
[07:09] ---
I'll be in trouble...
[07:13] ---
She's cute!
[07:14] ---
Well...
[07:17] ---
Okay, I'll go.
[07:18] ---
Really? Thank you!
[07:21] ---
So cute!
[07:23] ---
Oh, thank goodness...
[07:26] ---
Now that I think about it,
[07:28] ---
the only time that Miss Asahina's
mentioned she's from the future
[07:30] ---
is when she admitted it to me,
[07:32] ---
and the only proof of it is
the existence of the adult Miss Asahina.
[07:36] ---
This is a perfect chance for me to confirm
[07:39] ---
that she's a girl from the future.
[07:41] ---
So, where's your time machine?
[07:43] ---
We'll be leaving from here.
[07:44] ---
From here?
[07:53] ---
Kyon... I'm sorry.
[08:01] ---
Oh, you're awake!
[08:04] ---
Please wake up soon...
[08:09] ---
My legs have gone numb.
[08:17] ---
Why was I asleep?
[08:19] ---
I'm sorry, but I didn't want you
to see how time jumping is performed.
[08:24] ---
Because it's classified information...
[08:27] ---
Umm... are you mad?
[08:29] ---
No, not at all.
[08:30] ---
If it was Haruhi that did it, I'd hit her.
[08:32] ---
But since it's you, it's completely okay.
[08:35] ---
Thank goodness.
[08:36] ---
So it's three years ago?
[08:39] ---
July seventh, three years ago.
[08:41] ---
I'd guess around nine PM?
[08:43] ---
Really?
[08:44] ---
Really.
[08:48] ---
This is the same park that Nagato
invited me to some time ago.
[08:53] ---
Is this a mecca for unusual people?
[09:00] ---
Miss Asahina?
[09:04] ---
Um...
[09:09] ---
Could this be some sort of
declaration of intent?
[09:17] ---
Hello, Kyon.
[09:19] ---
Miss Asahina!
[09:24] ---
So this is how I looked back then.
[09:31] ---
It was her role to guide you here.
[09:35] ---
Guiding you from this point on... is mine.
[09:38] ---
Are you the one
that put Miss Asahina to sleep?
[09:41] ---
I couldn't let her see me,
[09:44] ---
because when I was here,
as her, I didn't meet me.
[09:48] ---
Right...
[09:51] ---
Down those railroad tracks
over there is a school.
[09:54] ---
Please help the person
you meet at the school gate.
[09:57] ---
And I'm sorry, but please
give me a piggyback ride.
[10:01] ---
This feels kind of like a game event.
[10:03] ---
Do I get an item or something
as a reward for doing this?
[10:06] ---
A reward?
[10:09] ---
Let's see...
[10:12] ---
I don't have anything that I can give you.
[10:15] ---
But if you want, you can give
the sleeping me there a kiss.
[10:19] ---
But only while she's asleep.
[10:21] ---
That's a little...
[10:25] ---
On an emotional and on a situational level,
[10:26] ---
doing that would go against my principles.
[10:28] ---
But, well, even still...
[10:30] ---
It's time. I have to go.
[10:33] ---
Also, you have to keep
my being here a secret from her.
[10:36] ---
Promise me.
[10:38] ---
Will you pinky swear with me?
[10:41] ---
Okay, you've sworn!
[10:45] ---
Goodbye, Kyon.
[10:46] ---
See you later.
[10:51] ---
I wonder how long it's been
[10:54] ---
since this adult Miss Asahina
and I have seen each other.
[10:57] ---
It doesn't feel like she's changed much
from the last time I saw her.
[11:00] ---
But is this really three years ago?
[11:04] ---
I need to confirm this, somehow.
[11:06] ---
Maybe I should call 411.
[11:10] ---
East Junior High, huh?
[11:16] ---
Hey.
[11:22] ---
Who are you?
[11:24] ---
It does certainly seem like
I've gone back three years.
[11:27] ---
This is Haruhi Suzumiya,
currently a seventh grader.
[11:30] ---
I asked you who you were.
[11:32] ---
A pervert? A kidnapper?
[11:34] ---
What about you, what are you doing?
[11:36] ---
Isn't it obvious?
I'm breaking and entering.
[11:38] ---
How am I supposed to react when
you just admit your illegal activities?
[11:41] ---
I don't know who you are,
[11:43] ---
but if you're not doing anything,
then help me out.
[11:45] ---
If you don't, I'll report you.
[11:46] ---
It's Haruhi. No mistaking it.
[11:51] ---
This way.
[11:53] ---
It's a good thing it's dark out.
[11:55] ---
This way, she won't be able
to get a good look at our faces.
[11:58] ---
The Haruhi three years from now
doesn't seem to remember us at all.
[12:02] ---
So I think that if it wasn't this way,
we'd have problems.
[12:06] ---
I took it out of the storage room
in the evening and hid it.
[12:09] ---
Good idea, right?
[12:13] ---
I'll handle that. You grab the line marker.
[12:19] ---
So, what are we doing with this?
[12:21] ---
Draw lines the way I tell you to.
[12:24] ---
Me?
[12:24] ---
Right, you.
[12:26] ---
Because I'm the director.
[12:30] ---
Hey, the line's shaky over there!
What are you doing?!
[12:33] ---
Her willingness to order around
a high school student she just met
[12:37] ---
without any problems is so very her.
[12:39] ---
If I had first met her like this,
as a junior high school student,
[12:43] ---
I probably would have thought
that she was really crazy.
[12:46] ---
At Haruhi's direction,
[12:48] ---
I ran this way and that, drawing white lines.
[12:51] ---
This was the mysterious message
that Taniguchi had mentioned,
[12:54] ---
but I never thought that
I would be the one that drew it...
[12:57] ---
Hmph. It's okay.
[12:59] ---
Well, excuse me.
[13:04] ---
Do you think aliens exist?
[13:06] ---
Well, that was sudden.
[13:08] ---
Answer the question.
[13:10] ---
I guess they do.
[13:11] ---
What about time travelers?
[13:12] ---
Wouldn't be strange if there were.
[13:14] ---
And espers?
[13:16] ---
There are probably enough of them
to walk in formation.
[13:18] ---
People from other dimensions?
[13:19] ---
I haven't met any of them yet.
[13:23] ---
That's the uniform for North High, isn't it?
[13:25] ---
Well, yeah.
[13:26] ---
What's your name?
[13:28] ---
John Smith.
[13:30] ---
Are you stupid or something?
[13:31] ---
Let's just say that
I want to stay anonymous.
[13:34] ---
Who's the girl you were carrying?
[13:36] ---
My big sister.
[13:37] ---
She had a sudden case of narcolepsy.
[13:40] ---
She falls asleep regardless of location,
[13:42] ---
so I was carrying her.
[13:43] ---
Hmph.
[13:44] ---
So, what in the world is this?
[13:47] ---
Can't you tell by looking? It's a message.
[13:49] ---
It's not for Orihime or Hikoboshi, is it?
[13:52] ---
How did you know that?
[13:54] ---
Well, it is Tanabata.
[13:56] ---
I just remembered someone I knew
doing something similar.
[13:59] ---
Huh. I'd love to meet that person.
[14:02] ---
So, that person goes to North High?
[14:03] ---
You could say that.
[14:06] ---
North High, huh?
[14:12] ---
I'm going home.
I've accomplished my goal, after all.
[14:15] ---
Bye.
[14:16] ---
And not even a thanks for helping her.
[14:20] ---
Miss Asahina.
[14:27] ---
Where am I?!
[14:28] ---
What happened and when is it right now?!
[14:30] ---
Umm...
[14:35] ---
I don't have my TPDD...
[14:37] ---
Huh?
[14:38] ---
It's gone...
[14:42] ---
What's wrong? What's a "TPDD"?
[14:46] ---
It's classified, but...
[14:48] ---
It's like a time machine.
[14:51] ---
Why would it be gone?
[14:53] ---
I don't know.
[14:55] ---
I should have it, but I've lost it.
[14:59] ---
Will anyone come save us?
[15:01] ---
There's no way...
[15:02] ---
So, what's going to happen to us?
[15:05] ---
We're stuck like this.
[15:07] ---
We're going to be left
in this time plane, three years prior,
[15:11] ---
unable to go back to our own time!
[15:14] ---
This is a pretty grave matter.
[15:16] ---
It is!
[15:19] ---
But for some reason,
I didn't feel any sense of urgency.
[15:23] ---
It was probably the adult Miss Asahina
that took that TPDD-thingy.
[15:27] ---
That's probably why she came to the past.
[15:30] ---
As for why, it would be so that she could
[15:31] ---
experience losing the TPDD when she was here.
[15:39] ---
I think that things are
going to turn out all right.
[15:41] ---
What?
[15:51] ---
Is this the home of a Miss Yuki Nagato?
[15:57] ---
I'm not really sure what to say, but...
[16:04] ---
Will you understand if I say
I'm an acquaintance of Haruhi Suzumiya?
[16:18] ---
Yo.
[16:21] ---
Is it all right for us to come in?
[16:24] ---
And that is who we are and why we're here.
[16:28] ---
Also, the you three years
from now gave me this.
[16:39] ---
I understand.
[16:40] ---
As far as you're concerned,
this is the first time we've met, right?
[16:44] ---
Yes.
[16:45] ---
Requesting access to the memory
of the unit in the other time plane.
[16:48] ---
I have downloaded the information
[16:50] ---
from the opposite side
of the linked time boundary.
[16:52] ---
The me that exists three years
from now and I are the same being.
[16:56] ---
The me three years from now
and I have shared our memories.
[17:00] ---
How?
[17:01] ---
We synchronized.
[17:03] ---
I don't understand.
[17:11] ---
Why are you wearing a North High uniform?
[17:13] ---
Are you already enrolled?
[17:15] ---
I am not. The current me is in standby mode.
[17:18] ---
Standby?
[17:19] ---
So you intend to be in standby
for almost three years?
[17:21] ---
Yes.
[17:22] ---
That sounds like an awfully long process.
[17:25] ---
That is my role.
[17:30] ---
There is more than one way
to travel through time.
[17:33] ---
The TPDD is not the only device
that can control time.
[17:36] ---
It's uncertain and primitive.
[17:38] ---
Umm... What do you mean?
[17:40] ---
The movement of life forms that use the TPDD
[17:44] ---
is within tolerable ranges, but it creates noise.
[17:47] ---
To us, it is an imperfect form.
[17:49] ---
By "us," do you mean the Thought Entity?
[17:52] ---
Miss Nagato, are you able to travel
through time in a perfect form?
[17:56] ---
The form does not matter.
[17:58] ---
As long as information can travel
back and forth, it is enough.
[18:14] ---
You don't mean to say
that we should sleep in here, do you?
[18:17] ---
Yes.
[18:18] ---
Together, with Miss Asahina?
[18:20] ---
Yes.
[18:22] ---
Lie down.
[18:22] ---
Straight to the point!
[18:23] ---
You'll just be sleeping.
[18:25] ---
Well, that's my intention, too, but...
[18:30] ---
I... I guess we don't have any choice
but to do what we're told...
[18:33] ---
Yes...
[19:06] ---
What, really?
[19:08] ---
What's the matter? Is that the TPDD?
[19:11] ---
No, this is simply a radio wave watch.
[19:15] ---
Thank goodness, we're back.
[19:17] ---
It's just after 9:30 PM
on the July 7th that we left from.
[19:24] ---
How did you do it?
[19:25] ---
I suspended the flow of information
inside of a selected time-space.
[19:29] ---
I then released the time suspension
[19:31] ---
at a predesignated point
in the time-space continuum.
[19:33] ---
You mean you stopped time?!
[19:36] ---
Miss Nagato stopped time
in this room for three years.
[19:41] ---
And when today came around,
she released the time stop... right?
[19:46] ---
Yes.
[19:47] ---
I can't believe it!
[19:49] ---
Which means, in other words...
[19:51] ---
That time when you told me
you were an alien and stuff...
[19:55] ---
...Miss Asahina and I
were in the next room, asleep?
[19:58] ---
Yes.
[20:02] ---
I always thought that you were pretty clever,
[20:05] ---
but you're actually omnipotent, aren't you?
[20:06] ---
That's not true.
[20:08] ---
This was a special case.
[20:09] ---
Emergency mode.
[20:11] ---
It doesn't happen often.
It has to be something rare.
[20:15] ---
Thank you.
[20:16] ---
It was nothing.
[20:25] ---
Can you read what this says?
[20:27] ---
"I am here."
[20:30] ---
That's what it says.
[20:33] ---
Could it be that it's written
in the language of some alien race?
[20:41] ---
Nagato didn't answer me.
[20:45] ---
I'm sorry. Actually, I...
[20:48] ---
I don't really understand.
[20:51] ---
I'm just an underling...
[20:53] ---
No, not even that.
[20:55] ---
I mean, I'm more like a trainee, so...
[20:58] ---
And yet you're hanging around with Haruhi.
[21:01] ---
Well, I never thought that
Miss Suzumiya would catch me!
[21:10] ---
All I do is obey the orders of my superior...
[21:14] ---
Maybe I should say the people above me.
[21:18] ---
So sometimes I don't understand
the things that I'm doing.
[21:24] ---
I wonder if her superior
is the adult Miss Asahina.
[21:29] ---
The adult Miss Asahina had to know
how things turned out for us.
[21:34] ---
But it looks like she didn't
tell this Miss Asahina any of it.
[21:38] ---
I guess that people from the future
have their own rules and laws.
[21:43] ---
I'm sure that someone will tell her.
[21:45] ---
When everything falls into place.
[21:49] ---
The next day was, of course, July eighth.
[21:52] ---
Consciously I knew that it was the next day,
[21:55] ---
but physically, it had been
three years and a day
[21:57] ---
since I had come to school.
[22:03] ---
What's wrong? Did you eat
a poison mushroom or something?
[22:06] ---
Not really. I'm just melancholy
from remembering some stuff.
[22:09] ---
Memories from previous Tanabatas.
[22:14] ---
Is that so?
[22:16] ---
Hey, Nagato.
[22:18] ---
Miss Asahina really is from the future, right?
[22:20] ---
Yes.
[22:21] ---
If that's the case,
it feels like the processes that link
[22:24] ---
the past and the future
don't quite add up right.
[22:26] ---
What do you mean?
[22:28] ---
Previously, Miss Asahina said that
[22:30] ---
there's no connection
between the past and the future.
[22:32] ---
But in going back three years,
[22:34] ---
I provided Haruhi
with knowledge she didn't need.
[22:38] ---
She ended up coming to North High,
[22:40] ---
and she started looking
for people who weren't normal...
[22:44] ---
There's a chance that's why.
[22:48] ---
There's a definite connection
between the past and the future.
[22:51] ---
This contradicts the explanation
that Miss Asahina gave me.
[22:53] ---
A contradictory set of theories
cannot explain its own contradictions.
[23:00] ---
Is that supposed to be an explanation?
[23:03] ---
You'll eventually understand.
[23:11] ---
This is what she means.
[23:12] ---
Right now, my king is currently
in check by your rook.
[23:17] ---
"Oh no, what do I do? Where shall I flee to?"
[23:24] ---
Now, what was contradictory
about what I just did?
[23:28] ---
In our case, the king
really isn't all that important.
[23:33] ---
What's important to us is the queen.
[23:36] ---
I see.
[23:37] ---
I don't know when something will happen next,
[23:40] ---
but when it does, I hope it doesn't
require so much thinking.
[23:43] ---
I'd prefer that things stay nice and peaceful.
[23:45] ---
Would you prefer for something to happen?
[23:51] ---
Why, you!
[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
[24:36] ---
That's because
[24:38] ---
It was my birthday,
and when we saw each other
[24:43] ---
We could see the first dream
[24:46] ---
That we had when we were born
[24:48] ---
Worrying about "what do I do?"
[24:53] ---
Is laughable when I think about it now
[24:57] ---
I've already forgotten it
[25:00] ---
