Okay, this year, what kind of gifts are brought to the party? Many people joined the party this year, so I will show you some of the gifts highlights as a digest!

The company trend this year was definitely Gundam!!
There were many gifts related to Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury!

There were many gifts related to Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury this year! The famous Gundam plastic models and limited edition snacks collaborated with Gundam seemed to be exchanged a lot at the party!

People who received the Gundam plastic model looked very happy to build the mobile suit model that they have seen in anime! Especially Aerial Gundam was very cool! They said they can’t wait to build it and display it on their desks!!

Gundam is definitely the popular anime. Everyone seemed to know and watch the anime, Mobile Suit Gundam: The Witch from Mercury in our office. So, the Gundam gifts were recognized quickly and everyone got excited to have them! This is one of the super popular Fall 2022 Anime for sure!

The most popular character is......of course, he is!

The second most popular gift was Pokémon!
Between Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet, which game did you buy?

The second most popular gift was from Pokémon series! Pokémon series just released the latest game, Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet on November 18th! Many people in our office play the game and always talk about who they chose to be their first Pokémon partner!

Of course, I played it! I bought Pokémon Violet and Chose Sprigatito as my partner to go to the treasure hunting!

This new Pokémon game, Pokémon Scarlet and Pokémon Violet have wonderful stories. I have played many other Pokémon games before, but this new games are probably the number 1 games. There are some bugs in the games, but still, it makes me think to play with DLC as well. Anyways, it was amazing games!

Many duplicates this year again!
Popular food gifts were from Golden Kamuy!!

Every year, we had some duplicated gifts at our gift exchange party. It cannot be helped because everyone liked the same things! Here are the duplicated popular gifts!!

Asiripa-san, it’s ok! You can eat that Osoma!!

This Golden Kamuy gift was popular! It is “Osoma you can eat.” This means, “It is a condiment, but you can eat it as your side dish.” It was introduced in actual manga.

Do you know what Osoma means? You can google it by yourself, because it is a little difficult to explain in this article. You can also check Golden Kamuy anime version or manga! You can find it easily!

Unfortunately, new anime season was postponed, but still very popular! Golden Kamuy!

“Try this manga, anime, or game! It’s really interesting!”
Members of Goods republic started giving presentations each other for their favorites!!

People try to push their favorite title of game, manga or anime when they exchange the gifts. That kind of thing often happens at the gift exchange party. The presentation to appeal their favorite titles actually heated up in the end!

Some of the gifts I saw were the person’s recommended manga set and novels that announced to be made into anime,

A RPG game released this year, Xenoblade3...... etc!
