WIT Studios Christmas Party 2018

Some photos from the WIT Studios Christmas Party last night. I got super sick the day before but I pushed through the pain to attend! The party was located at a hole in the wall venue in Shinjuku called Shinjuku Loft Plus One and the hosts were WIT Studio President/SnK Producer George Wada, Producer Nakatake Tetsuya, and Asano Kyoji.

There was a special menu but to be honest the venue was clearly overbooked with just (literally) a handful of very tiny tables. So there was no place to put the plates if you ordered it. But we ordered the Christmas cake anyways. There was supposed to be coasters but we ordered drinks as soon as we could find a seat and was told there was none left. (There was not enough seats and staff had to pull more from the back) Keep in mind we came early but there was a ticket numbering system so we could not go in right away.

The talk show was half broadcast and the other half was more drinking and talking. It would have been fine but the hosts clearly were just talking and drinking like they would normally hang out without caring about the audience. A lot of people were concerned with the train times since trains stop running after a certain hour and because everything was so unorganized not everyone was able to buy the books for signing during the break so they would have to buy it after the talk was over. There was also a present giveaway but not everyone that ordered things got the raffle tickets that were supposed to be given. The people next to us were really upset about it and they had ordered a lot.

We ran into some friends which was a nice surprise and in the end it was nice to get the signatures. If the event was organized and not overbooked it could be a lot of fun.
