Nobody remembers her. Itsuki is gone. Mikuru is an ordinary girl who has never met him. Yuki Nagato — silent, alien Yuki — is now a shy, bespectacled literature club member with no supernatural abilities and a quiet crush on Kyon that she handles entirely like a human being. The world is normal. Everything Kyon complained about is gone. He should, by any reasonable measure, be relieved. He is not. As Kyon investigates what happened and tries to find a way to restore the reality he did not know he wanted, the film becomes a meditation on what it means to choose the life you have — and what it costs to go back and choose it again. The sequence in which Kyon, having found the mechanism to restore everything, has to decide whether to actually use it is one of the finest scenes in anime film.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\nThe Disappearance of Haruhi Suzumiya is a 162-minute theatrical film directed by Tatsuya Ishihara and Yasuhiro Takemoto, produced by Kyoto Animation, written by Fumihiko Shimo, and based on the fourth Haruhi Suzumiya light novel by Nagaru Tanigawa. It was released in Japan on February 6, 2010 — coincidentally the date of an important plot event in the story — and was at the time of its release the second-longest animated theatrical film ever produced, surpassed only by Final Yamato. It earned over 850 million yen at the Japanese box office and ran in theaters for more than eight months. The score was composed by Satoru Kosaki with additional pieces by Erik Satie used throughout. Originally released in North America by Bandai Entertainment on DVD and Blu-ray on September 20, 2011 — after Bandai Entertainment's 2012 shutdown, the license transferred to FUNimation and then to Sentai Filmworks, who released a new BD+DVD combo on May 30, 2017.\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eNotable Staff \u0026amp; Voice Talent\u003c\/b\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eChief Director:\u003c\/b\u003e Tatsuya Ishihara\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eDirector:\u003c\/b\u003e Yasuhiro Takemoto\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eScreenplay:\u003c\/b\u003e Fumihiko Shimo\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOriginal Light Novel:\u003c\/b\u003e Nagaru Tanigawa, illustrated by Noizi Ito (Sneaker Bunko label, Kadokawa; English license: Yen Press)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eStudio:\u003c\/b\u003e Kyoto Animation\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eMusic:\u003c\/b\u003e Satoru Kosaki (with Erik Satie pieces)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eOpening Theme:\u003c\/b\u003e \"Boken desho desho?\" by Aya Hirano as Haruhi Suzumiya\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eEnding Theme:\u003c\/b\u003e \"Yasashii Boukyaku\" by Minori Chihara as Yuki Nagato\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eJapanese Cast:\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n• Tomokazu Sugita as Kyon\u003cbr\u003e\n• Aya Hirano as Haruhi Suzumiya\u003cbr\u003e\n• Minori Chihara as Yuki Nagato\u003cbr\u003e\n• Yuko Goto as Mikuru Asahina\u003cbr\u003e\n• Daisuke Ono as Itsuki Koizumi\u003cbr\u003e\n• Natsuko Kuwatani as Ryoko Asakura\n\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eEnglish Dub Cast (Bang Zoom!
