The tentative JAFWA program for Saturday 6th February 2010 is below. To be held in the Haydn Williams lecture theatre. 405.201
Things of Note:
1) Curtin Uni has screwed up our February bookings, so we are are screening this Saturday. But we will have the Hall from about 12 Midday for Gaming, not anime. Normal (ahem, I mean “regular”) anime from 5PM, console gaming beforehand. If you bring your own systmes, bring power cables and splitter boards (labelled so you can get them back.)!
2) Unfortunately Curtin University is putting us in the Nursing Lecture Theatre 405.201 - due to “Summer School”.
Jafwa has a Facebook Page! Go to HERE to sign up!

No JAFWA over the Summer Break!
Enjoy the Solstice festivities and New Year - avoid the heat.
Never fear, we return January 30th, 2010!
This is the week after Waicon 2010 so we hope you won’t be too exhausted.
For everybody who hasn’t been to JAFWA before, the January 30th will be a Newby Night, where we shall show one-off samplers of various popular anime shows in order to get you hooked.
Currently, it is rumoured that we will see some Lupin III and Detective Conan, Pandora Hearts, Armed Librarians, and even Suzumiya Haruhi may make an appearance. We will accept further suggestions.
I hope we all enjoyed going to GenghisCon while waiting for both JAFWA and Waicon.

Things of Note:
1) JAFWA starts screening at 1:30PM, goes towards midnight.
2) Last week’s Bean Poll determined that JAFWA keep “Valkyria Chronicles” in the program.
3) We still have half the program to decide. We may take audience suggestions. Or we might find other stuff to do.
4) We are not certain if we will have “Kara no Kyoukai: Murder speculation pt 2″. We live in hope.
5) The supernatural WWII movie “First Squad” is a Russian/Japanese production. The language is Russian. Do not despair.

The tentative JAFWA program for Saturday 14th October 2009 is below. To be held in the Hayden Williams lecture theatre. 405.102
Things of Note:
1) For the month of November, due to exams (does the University think exams are more important than us!), we shall be in the Nursing lecture theatre one building across.
2) In late November the Japanese ship Shirase will make a port call at Fremantle. Shirase, which is based in Yokosuka in Kanagawa Prefecture, Japan, is an icebreaker which is operated by the Japan Maritime Self-Defense Force (JMSDF). It is a newly commissioned ship, which replaces the existing icebreaker of the same name.
3) Sunday November 15 is Shichi-go-san (7-5-3 Festival).
In Japan, when boys reach the ages of three and five, and when girls reach the ages of three and seven, their parents take them to a shrine to pray for their future health and growth. This festival is called Shichi-go-san, takes place on 15th November and dates back to the Meiji era (1868-1912). Shichi is the Japanese word meaning seven, go means five and san means three, respectively.
Children of these ages are dressed in traditional kimono (for girls) and haori jacket and hakama trousers (for boys) to celebrate their special day. However, recently Western-style dresses and suits have been worn instead of the more traditional attire.
After visiting the Shinto shrine, parents buy their children candy called chitose-ame as a symbol of their wish for their child to lead a long, prosperous life. Chitose literally means one thousand years, and ame means candy, while the bag holding the candy is illustrated with pictures of turtles and cranes (both animals symbolize longevity in Japan).
