Weekly Bulletin for bonus session Saturday 5^th December, 2015, at 6PM

Screening

Below is the program for December 5^th, 2015.

Special bonus session.

Thanks to the power blackout a couple of months ago, JAFWA’s schedule was upset and we need to make up some time if we want to cleanly finish this year.
This week we finish the series “Akami ga Kill”. Who do you think will survive?
We also have one of the 2015 Young Animator’s Award winners that we have been trying to fit in the program for a while, as well as a couple of regular items and a retro item that won’t fit in the marathon screening next week.

Because this is the first Saturday of the month, the Doctor Who club WestLodge has booked the Hall before us, and they run till 5:30PM or so. Thus JAFWA will not start until 6PM at the earliest, though people can enter about 5:45PM.

All items in the original Japanese language with English subtitles.

Synopsis

Fairy Tail

The situation grows worse for Natsu and the others trapped in the Palace of Hades. Separated from each other they are now each dealing with one of the Garou Knights. This is bad enough for Natsu, Mirajane, Wendy and Pantherlilly. But for the non-magical party; Carla, Happy, Lucy and Yukino, it’s disastrous. At the moment the only thing going in their favour is the near-suicidal determination of former captain of the guard Arkadios, who’s willing to wade through lava to save Lucy and Yukino.

The job comes with all sorts of challenges and stresses but Aoi wouldn’t be here if it wasn’t something she wanted to do.

…29 days until the deadline.

OAV – Aki no Kanade (Aki’s Rhythm)

That would seem to be a mark of success, but because she must still work a second job to make ends meet Aki doesn’t feel like she is successful. So when her old instructor Yoshioka-sensei calls her up out of the blue to tell her that he is reviving the Kariyama Drum Festival, Aki is pessimistic about accepting the job of coach for all the new drummers.

They are aided in this endeavour by Celcie Marie Claire, the shapeshifting elf responsible for drawing them into this world in the first place, and Mihke … who is a tank possessed by the spirit of a cat.

Tonight’s Episodes: “Those Who Wipe”

It turns out there are many modern conveniences that are harder to come by when you’re stuck travelling around a fantasy realm in a possessed tank, and it’s not just technology like television. There are other more mundane things related to everyday activities, things that you still need to do even when you’re stuck in a fantasy realm. As Junpei is now finding out.

Tonight’s Episode: “Idealism’s End (Answer)“

Having been beaten back by a revitalised Saber and a surprisingly effective Shirou, Archer has taken Rin, Saber’s new master, hostage and retreated. Not content with this, he makes a deal with Gilgamesh and Shinji to turn over Rin once he has killed Shirou. Shirou, meanwhile, believes he has figured out Archer’s true identity, and tells Saber to let him battle the faithless servant whilst she rescues Rin. With help from Lancer, who again appears to assist them as they arrive at Illyasviel’s villa.

The sun leaves Santana little more than a crumbling statue, but Jojo’s work is not finished. There are more Pillar Men, uncovered by the Nazis in Europe, and Stroheim’s last words. Someone awaits Jojo in Italy …
