[edit] Trivia
|
- This is actually episode 6, chronologically and contains the last chapter and epilogue of the first book.
- Neither the usual opening credit nor the ending credit is showed in the episode. But an extended version of the opening credit theme (Bouken Desho Desho) is played instead of the usual ending theme.
- The music used in the climax is Gustav Mahler's Symphony No. 8 "Symphony of a Thousand" Part I, Hymnus: Veni, Creator Spiritus (Come, Creator Spirit), performed by Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra, conducted by Leonard Bernstein, a live recording from the Salzburg Festival 1975. Evidently the storyline is synchronizing the text of the hymn. (spoiler)
- One of Kyon's lines, "Let's leave the school" pays homage to Nagaru Tanigawa's light novel, 学校を出よう！(Lets leave the School! Gakkou wo Deyou!); he is also the creator of The Melancholy of Suzumiya Haruhi light novels.
- The incident with the optical mouse in episode 11 is explained in this episode in a way in keeping with Yuki's computer prowess. Yuki observes Mikuru and Kyon tusseling with Kyon waving the mouse in the air.
- The tune Kyon's sister is humming when she borrows the scissors from Kyon's drawer is chorus from Sunny Sunny Fun (ハレ晴レユカイ Hare Hare Yukai), the ending theme of the anime.
- Kyon also says "Freud would have a field day with this!", after waking up, a reference to Sigmund Freud.
- In the background during Kyon and Koizumi's conversation in the ending, two ENOZ members are playing music.
- According to The Sigh of Haruhi Suzumiya episode from the original novel series that tells the sequel of this ending, Kyon's nonfictional story about aliens, time travelers, and espers was completely pushed away by Haruhi. But a half year later, she drew the plot of Asahina Mikuru's Adventure Episode 00 from it.
Current state of the "SOS Brigade" Dan hompage" No links, except for the fan club and etc..; The Profiles of all of the characters have been removed, the main signia is SOS, and only the agenda link is still there. -This is most likely due to season 2 airing very recently. In otherwords certain occurences have yet to taken place in the most recently aired episode of the anime.
