So in my last post I mentioned that I had seen a Haikyuu movie and I just assumed that it was old content, but after chatting with my brother about it he was like, uh, no, none of that is in the anime, you watched something completely new. Welp, lol.

My only excuse is that
1) It's been a long time since I saw the series.
2) The movie starts with a flashback scene and there are many flashbacks throughout
3) The last anime movie I saw was a rehash so I thought that was maybe a thing and
4) look, a lot of volley ball games look the same ok?

But no. The Battle of the Trash Bin was COMPLETELY NEW CONTENT and I was just watching it the whole time going "oh it's interesting how they're kind of mixing the old episodes, oh I don't remember this scene huh I guess it's been a while." I fucking gaslit myself.

So yeah, I actually saw a BRAND NEW Haikyuu movie! And I should probably watch the series again or something so I remember the whole context behind the match, or at least the tournament arc.

Eugh god.

Jet lag is such a pain in the ass. The worst part about it (I might be repeating myself here but I am sooo jet lagged I don't care) is when I come back it takes forever to recover because I've got nothing going on at home and can just pass out at 5PM every day after work. So it's been a while since I came back from my last trip to Japan and I'm still fighting off sleep during the sunlight hours so I don't wake up at midnight like I have the last few days. Even though I've been trying to stay up things are just not resetting.

Here's a review: Spending 18 hours in transit sucks ass.

But going to Japan is still worth it. This trip was part leisure and part business. It's very rare that I get to Japan twice in so short a time span. It will be a few years before I get the chance to go again. And this time I was solo for a large portion instead of hanging out with family, so since I didn't need to worry about anyone but myself on the leisure leg I went a liiiiiiittle bit wild on the merch. Compared to some people I'm sure I was still modest about it but since I don't buy too much stuff during regular times coming back with a pile of things this time felt like a major splurge. I ended up picking up some cheap kimono, and some tea supplies.
