Screening on Saturday 27^th May, 2016

Event Afternoon before JAFWA Screening

JAFWA has the hall from 12:30PM to 4:30PM, where it is make our own amusement time.

Does anybody have their own game machine and games they want their fellow JAFWAites to play? JAFWA will bring out the projector and screen. I am not certain we have access to the outdoor area, but we will try to keep you off the street.

These are just a couple of suggestion. What do you want to do? Just so long as it fun, legal, ethical, and we don’t scuff the floor of the Hall.

Screening

Below is the program for the evening of Saturday May 27^th, 2017.

It looks like the new Fairy Tail movie “Dragon Cry” is getting more and more popular. It is not just at the usual 3 cinemas (Luna Leederville, Hoyts Carousel and Event Innaloo), but apparently Hoyts Morley is putting on a few screenings. There were several people at JAFWA last week who had just come back from the cinema after watching this animated movie, and based on their ecstatic happiness this is a movie not to be missed.

Don’t forget that channel 34 NITV is screening a good anime movie every Friday evening. Unfortunately dubbed into English. This week’s goodness is “Summer Wars“. And as usual they do a repeat screening on Saturday afternoon.

This week we say farewell to 3 of our regular series. Don’t be too sad, as they will be replaced by new regular series in June and July. So far we have only decided on one of the replacement series, so we will have a survey during the Dinner Break where you can help us narrow down the the candidates for the new regular series to start, by numbering in order which shows you like. We will vote from the narrowed down list in June.

Synopsis

Shirayuki is a young pharmacist from the kingdom of Tanbarun who is cheerful, spirited and dedicated to her job. She also has brilliant red hair, which is very rare. When the first prince of Tanbarun decides to claim her unique beauty for himself, Shirayuki flees to the neighbouring kingdom of Clarines to start her life over. There may be eccentric nobility here as well, but there are also friends, and at least she can do her job.

Tonight’s Episode: “You Will Drink from the Spring of Intent”

After returning to the Kingdom of Clarines, while Shirayuki goes back to work at the castle, Zen is pressured by Prince Izana and Lord Haruka to hold a ball as many women seek to marry him. Everyone in the castle soon discover the news that Zen is having a marriage interview, including Shirayuki causing her to become worried but she tries to hide her fears.

Ore Monogatari! (My Love Story!)

Takeo Gouda is tall. No, Takeo Gouda is huge. He’s a high-schooler in a giant’s body. That’s been great for all the school sporting clubs he was part of, but less useful in his attempts to find love. But the real problem there is his handsome best friend Makoto Sunakawa, who ends up getting confessions from everyone Takeo likes. In fact it happens so often Takeo now expects it. And then one day, quite by accident, Takeo meets Rinko Yamato …

This evening’s Episode: “My Spring Break” and “My Heart” (Finale)

During spring break, Rinko takes a part-time job at a cake shop, catching the attention of the shop’s assistant, Kouki Ichinose. While getting used to the job, Rinko helps Kouki to sell some of his own cake ideas, which he starts to misinterpret as her having feelings for him. This leads to some jealousy from Takeo. But Takeo Gouda is so good natured, can he be convinced that it is better for Rinko to date Ichinose?

When his parents finally get sick of sending him money he is thrown a lifeline by Yoake Ryou, a representative of the RELife Company. RELife gives jobless deadbeats like Arata a new lease on life… By giving them a pill that makes them look like teenagers again and having them repeat high school.

After an accident on the stairs causes himself and the school’s top student Urara Shiraishi to swap bodies, the discovery of this strange ability makes his life a great deal more complicated.

Yamada must fight missing memories of friends that don’t remember him, nefarious student council members seeking his destruction and reticent witches to save Shiraishi. However if he can assemble all 7 witches he might have the opportunity to make a wish to fix things, as only a delinquent can.

Re:Zero kara Hajimeru Isekai Seikatsu (Re: Life in a Different World from Zero)

Being teleported to a fantasy world means you’re the chosen one, right? Natsuki Subaru certainly thought so, but it seems he’s not the fated hero, he’s just another guy in a world full of wizards, warriors and demi-humans. Still, there are decent people in this world and Subaru quickly finds people willing to lend him a hand, people he wants to help in return. But how can a mere high school student hope to challenge the monstrous and magical forces of this world? After all he only gets one shot at this, right?

Tonight’s Episode: “Nefarious Sloth”

While talking to Julius, Subaru is attacked by a mysterious blue flower, and illusions and enchantments bedevil the company. The Witch Cult is proving to be far more pervasive than thought, and the Archbishop of Sloth’s power is able to be transferred to other fingers.
