No Screening this Saturday, 2nd December 2023

No JAFWA screening until Saturday 9th December 2023!

JAFWA is sort of taking its regular break from Screening this Saturday, though some of us will be doing JAFWA related stuff. We wish to be refreshed when we return in December for the final screening of 2023.

Currently at various cinemas is “Digimon Adventures 2 – The Beginning”. Come Thursday, “Godzilla: minus One” roars into cinema screens. And later in December is the the most recent Studio Ghibli movie “The Boy and the heron”.

When JAFWA returns on the 9th we will have an irregular program full of audience requested items, including a theatrical length movie. I find myself disappointed that that there isn’t a single Christmas episode of “Tokyo Revengers”, but live in hope that we may screen the second series of “Tokyo Revengers” (known as the “Christmas Showdown” arc) in 2024.

The expected program

Below is the tentative first draft program for the evening of Saturday December 9th, 2023.

All items in the original Japanese language with English subtitles. With assistance from a grant from and

5:15pm My Hero Academia Ep 1 TBC

Event Afternoon followed by Screening on Saturday 25th November 2023

Event Afternoon before JAFWA Screening

JAFWA has the hall from about 1PM to 4:30PM, where it is make our own amusement time.

Does anyone want hall space for nerf gun battles? Bring your own ping-pong? Table top games? 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.
In the past people have brought along video games and the hardware to play them, and sewing machines for cosplay creating. 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 on the evening of Saturday, November 25th 2023

This is it! The end of November and the last regular JAFWA screening for 2023!
After this will be the irregular screening of December, the Summer Holiday Break (including minor things like Christmas), and JAFWA’s glorious return in January 2024.

This week, along with our regular program we will screen another preview episode, to broaden our knowledge of anime released in Japan. It will involve the Swords and Sorcery genre, where after their defeat the demon nations seek to select a new Demon King to lead them to victory over the hated humans. At the end of the night, we ran out of regular items, so we will try one of the “Golden Kamuy” OAVs, which features some of the manga that was unable to be converted for a TV episode, even in the normal after midnight timeslot.
During the Dinner Break we will be having our Monthly Survey, where our dear JAFWAites can express their opinion on the various programs previewed and other suggested possibilities, utilising a scalar grading system.
And later, we have the monthly Member’s Prize Draw, with so much good stuff to choose from for the Winner.

We are in the process of writing up the final, irregular screening of 2023 in December. It might still be possible to influence our Lord Shogun Drew’s decsions on what goes into the final program.

Screening on the evening of Saturday, November 18th 2023

We are rapidly running out of November, Spring and regular JAFWA screenings for 2023!

This week, as we have our penultimate regular screening if this year, along with our regular program we will screen another preview episode, to broaden our knowledge of anime released in Japan. It will involve Love, Obsession and Reincarnation (but not isekai!), and the setup in the first episode is so long it is a movie length episode.

Screening on the evening of Saturday, November 11th 2023

After the overwhelmingness of Kai-Con 2023 last week, you do need to remember to come to JAFWA this week. So lest we forget, I welcome to November and overly-sunny weather.
A special shout out to the winners of JAFWA’s raffle prizes – Kiara’s ticket won first prize, and Holly Elms was the lucky second place winner.

This week, as we march onto the end of the year, along with our regular program we will screen another two preview episodes, to broaden our knowledge of anime released in Japan. The first is called “MF Ghost”, which appears to be the spiritual successor to “Initial D” that we screened at JAFWA so many years ago. The second preview episode will be a double length episode.

MF Ghost Crimson Ragna
We are still trying to fill the program for the final screening of 2023 in December. What do you want to see?
And could I ask you to write down your suggestions so that I don’t lose them this time. (sorry)
I am still looking into the suggestion “Tokyo Revengers OAV”, but keep them coming!

Expected program for the evening of Saturday November 11th, 2023.

No Screening this Saturday, 4th October 2023

No JAFWA screening until Saturday 11th November 2023!

JAFWA is sort of taking its regular break from Screening this Saturday, though some of us will be doing JAFWA related stuff. We wish to be refreshed when we return in November proper.

However, if you need some fannish activity this coming weekend, over at the Perth Convention Centre you will find Kai-Con 2023 in full swing, with JAFWA running the anime stream in the cool-down area.
JAFWA is also doing a raffle, with two huge gift baskets of cool stuff for 1st and 2nd prize. Limited tickets available at the Convention.

When JAFWA returns on the 11th we will be previewing a couple of new episodes that might become regular items in 2024. The first is called “MF Ghost”, which appears to be the spiritual successor to “Initial D” that we screened at JAFWA so many years ago. The second preview episode will be a double length episode.

We are still trying to fill the program for the final screening of 2023 in December. What do you want to see?
Last session somebody wrote in the Suggestion:

TOKYO REVENGERS OAV (its a Christmas Ep)

I for one think this is an excellent suggestion, and I am in the process of trying to track down this episode.

A reminder that JAFWA has returned to operating in Normal hours! Program starts at 5:15PM!

Even with the later start last week, our old enemy the Sun made things difficult. This week we shall erect the Sun Disactivator as our valiant final line of defense against our thermonuclear enemy!
I prefer to think of it that the our quality is determined but the strength of our enemy.

October means a new anime season in Japan, which we tasted last week when our mystery preview item turned out to be “Undead Unluck”.
This week we will screen another couple of preview episodes to broaden our knowledge of anime released in Japan. The first is a nice gentle swords and sorcery story of what happens after adventurers save the world. The second just before the Late Break will be more fiery!
And don’t forget that two of our beloved series have their season finale this week – “The Devil is a Part-time” and “Ningen Fushin”.

Screening on the evening of Saturday, October 14th 2023

This week JAFWA returns operating in Normal hours! Program starts at 5:15PM!

October is upon us already, as we move to the cooler evening hours. We put behind us the disappointment of the cancelled Bunnings Sausage Sizzle, and march into a healthier, anime-filled future.
Bear with us, as we are in the process of re-arranging the program due to the Bean Poll on the fate of our retro series “City Hunter”. Of the people who voted:

  1. 9 votes – Do away with “City Hunter” after this week, and use the emptied timeslot to show extra episodes of our regular items to try and finish by the end of the year.
  2. 6 votes – Discontinue screening “City Hunter” after this week, and find another retro slot item (probably “El Hazard”).
  3. 5 votes – Continue screening “City Hunter” after the Late Break.

This week we will screen a couple of preview episodes to broaden our knowledge of anime released in Japan. The first is desert after Dinner Break and is called “Sweet Reincarnation”, that does involve isekai and OP, as this sort of stuff is just too prevalent in Japan for us to ignore. The second Late-nght preview episode is a ***mystery item***. Come and find out if you dare!

No Screening this Saturday, 7nd October 2023

No JAFWA screening until Saturday 14th October 2023!

JAFWA is taking its regular break from Screening this Saturday. We wish to be refreshed when we return in October proper.
Unfortunately we may need this Break (as will the other attendees of JAFWA), as last Saturday someone reported a positive CoVID test after attending JAFWA. We hope all other attendees take appropriate action.
Regrettably JAFWA will have to postpone the Bunnings Sausage Sizzle at Cannington, originally scheduled for Oct 7, until a later date. Maybe in December. We wish to apologise to everyone who was looking forward to a JAFWA cooked sausage-in-a-bun.

But enough of those Woes!
The important thing to remember for October is that we have ceased Winter Hours and resumed Regular Screening Hours, ie starting just after 5PM, when return on the 14th.

However, if you need some fannish activity this coming weekend, if you attend the Hall this Saturday from Midday, you are likely to encounter the local Doctor Who club.

When JAFWA returns on the 14th we will be previewing an episode of an anime called “Sweet Reincarnation”, that does involve isekai. Also, there should be a second preview episode that night, but we haven’t decided what yet.
We are in the process of re-arranging the program due to the Bean Poll on the fate of our retro series “City Hunter”. Of the people who voted:

This is the last week that JAFWA will be operating in Winter hours! Program starts at 4:15PM!

The Spring Equinox has passed, and our old enemy the Sun continues to gain ascendancy! All praise the Librarian Kris and his Sun Disactivator for granting us legions of otaku better viewing of anime.
This week we continue with our Bean Poll as to the fate of our retro show “City Hunter”, which was exciting in its day, but has not aged well in the intervening 30 years. So, only a half dozen episodes in, we are tasked with choosing between 3 different fates:

  1. Continue screening “City Hunter” after the Late Break.
  2. Discontinue screening “City Hunter” after this week, and find another retro slot item (probably “El Hazard”).
  3. Do away with “City Hunter” after this week, and use the emptied timeslot to show extra episodes of our regular items to try and finish by the end of the year.

Meanwhile, it is the end of the month of September, and we all know what that means – this week we have our Monthly Survey, where our dear JAFWAites can express their opinion on the various programs previewed and other suggested possibilities, utilising a scalar grading system.
And later, we have the monthly Member’s Prize Draw.

In addition to to all the other excitement, we will screen a preview episode before the survey, a spin-off of the Love Live! Sunshine idol anime, where the characters are re-imagined in a fantasy setting.
