Special Screening on the evening of Saturday, November 9th 2024
The month of November is suddenly upon us, meaning this is the last month of JAFWA’s regular screening in 2024. Well, there is the irregular screening in December, and we return in 2025. EXCEPT! This week long time JAFWA member Elliot, on the occasion of his approaching birthday has chosen to sponsor a night of some of his favourite anime episodes. Come along and enjoy this anime otaku’s selection!
The sausage sizzle we performed last week went well. Did we manage to feed your expectations?
Let me repeat, this week at JAFWA we have an irregular program, composed mainly of Elliot’s favourite episodes. Unfortunately this does not include the movie “Redline” as we were not able to acquire the screening rights to it. But the rest is good.Your beloved JAFWA committee has re-arranged the program for the rest of the year so that as few as possible regular series are forced to take a long break over the end of year. This will result in a few nights where we screen more than one episode of a particular series. Though we hope to sneak in a couple of preview episodes here and there.
If you don’t want to sponsor an entire night like Lindsay did in March, or like Elliot’s one this week, there is the other scheme for our signed up members. On the night nearest your birthday, you can nominate something to play during the Dinner Break (limited to 30 minutes max). You may have to help us source this material, so plan in advance please.
And there is the end of year irregular screening to consider. What do you want to see in it?

With the ending of October we realise that we are just about to start the month of November, which will be the final month of regular screening program for 2024. Though panic not, as JAFWA returns with a new regular program in January 2025. But when JAFWA returns on the 9th, we will have a slightly different program for that night only. It seems that long time JAFWA member Elliot, on the occasion of his approaching birthday has chosen to sponsor a night of some of his favourite anime episodes. Come along and enjoy this anime otaku’s selection!
Though many of our members might be experimenting with this (possibly over-rated) thing called “Life” this weekend, be aware that you can still get a taste of the JAFWA goodness by going down to the Cannington Bunnings of Saturday 2nd Nov. It is here you will find the JAFWA crew cooking up and serving a sausage sizzle to help keep JAFWA financially afloat. Come down and give us a good word and get a delicious sausage in a bun.

Screening on the evening of Saturday, October 26th 2024
The month of October has simply raced by, and now we are at the end. Naturally that means it is time for JAFWA’s monthly survey, followed by a Member’s Prize draw.
The The Japanese Film Festival has come and gone in Perth, to the pleasure of attending Japanese culture fans (ahem otaku).
Your beloved JAFWA committee has re-arranged the program for the rest of the year so that as few as possible regular series are forced to take a long break over the end of year. This week the “torture” returns and there will be two episodes of “Spice and Wolf”, as well as two episodes of “Zom 100” to improve your anime viewing.

Screening on the evening of Saturday, October 19th 2024
Many thanks that so many people turned out for last week’s JAFWA screening. This week we should probably ask hard-working Librarian Kris to raise his Sun Disactivator, unless someone can arrange for overcast weather.
While JAFWA may be your best beloved anime source, there are a couple of other possibilities out there this week. Firstly The Japanese Film Festival is screening in Perth at the Palace Theaters in Raine Square, and there is a couple of anime movies in the program, assuming they aren’t yet sold out. Secondly, at the Palace Theater and select other theaters is the latest “My Hero Academia” movie entitled “You’re Next”. Do be careful about the session you choose being subbed or dubbed.
Your beloved JAFWA committee has re-arranged the program for the rest of the year so that as few as possible regular series are forced to take a long break over the end of year. Somehow we have managed to put in a very fresh preview item this week, and Greg describes it as the girls who failed to get into “Little Witch Academia”. This week will be a lack of torture but two episodes of “Spice and Wolf”, as well as two episodes of “Kaijuu No.8” to improve your anime viewing.

Screening on the evening of Saturday, October 12th 2024
While some parts of this country has gone to Daylight Savings, JAFWA has returned to its normal hours, where 5PM is a little too early and 11PM will see the place locked up. So rejoice that JAFWA has returned for October, and give thanks to the hard-working Librarian Kris and his Sun Disactivator.

September has ended as has the Winter Hours, for with the coming of October JAFWA will be enjoying it usual hours. So when you come to embrace our anime screening on the 12th remember that we are starting just after 5PM.
While you wait this JAFWA weekend off, be aware the things aren’t entirely bleak on the anime front. Assorted cinemas last week started showing the anime movie Trapezium.
And this coming Saturday for those of us without enough fannish stuff is Nexus Toy and Collectors Fair from 9AM to 12PM at 34 Kent St, East Victoria Park WA.
And dare we forget Anime in the Valley over the weekend, at Swan Settlers Market in Herne Hill.

It is the last Saturday in September. The last time this year that JAFWA will operate in Winter hours. The last time this year under Winter Hours that JAFWA will have our monthly survey and member’s prize draw. Yes, you too can hope to influence the direction of JAFWA by filling in our survey form during the Dinner Break. Inform us what anime titles shown at JAFWA are most important to you, so that it might help filter through the large number of anime titles coming out of Japan as we attempt to decide what preview episode to screen in future. And never forget the monthly member’s prize – the more times you attend, the more chances to win!
Your beloved JAFWA committee is still re-arranging the program for the rest of the year so that as few as possible regular series are forced to take a long break over the end of year. This may result in a few nights where we screen more than one episode of a particular series. Enjoy!
While Tokyo Underground may have been forced to shutdown in Perth, Bronwyn still has plenty of stock and an urge to keep the shop open. So she has just opened up a neat and tidy (dare I say cute) little stall 50 at the Wanneroo Weekend Markets on Prindiville Drive in Wangara. Come check it out on Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays (and Public Holidays).

Screening on the evening of Saturday, September 21st 2024
You know it is truly Spring when you discover that the cherry trees up the road from the JAFWA screening are blooming Sakura. I wonder how long the Sakura blossoms will last? I only saw them after the Sun went down, they must be spectacular by daylight.
After some deliberation (to use the polite term), your beloved JAFWA committee has decided on all the new shows that start as regular series this coming week. Because two of these new series were previewed last month, some hand-polling the audience last week indicates overwhelmingly that we start “Bye Bye Earth” at episode #2, and that “Kaiju No.8” by just a narrow margin starts at episode #1. And in our attempt to finish series before the long end of Year break, one of the new regular series this week will have two episodes shown. Which series would you have wanted two episodes of? It is almost enough to distract you from the melancholic news that the “Doomsday Train” series will reach its final destination at the end of the line this week.

Screening on the evening of Saturday, August 10th 2024
It is time to Spring into anime at your friendly JAFWA screening. Don’t worry, as we are still operating on Winter Hours still, for the rest of this month.
This week JAFWA had been thinking we would be starting some new regular series this week, but deliberations have pushed that back to next week. Instead we will have a couple of series finish this week by showing the last two episodes, as well as a preview episode to soothe the people distressed at the delay in getting the second season of “The Apothecary Diaries”.

Now the Bureau of Meteorology may claim we are now in the Season of Spring, but be aware that we here at JAFWA will be remaining on Winter Hours until October. Hopefully this helps distract you from the shock of going out and enjoying life without attending JAFWA (if you can call such a life “enjoyable”) this weekend. Meanwhile your beloved committee is working hard to determine which new regular series begin next screening session.
Things aren’t entirely bleak on the anime front. Assorted cinemas this week are showing the latest in the Meitantei Conan franchise with Detective Conan: Million-dollar Pentagram, some of them even in the original Japanese language with English subtitles, so choose wisely. If you happen to be down Bunbury way, be aware that you can attend the South West Japan Festival. And don’t forget that on the weekend is the Evolve Perth convention at Cannington Exhibition Centre & Showgrounds, behind the Bunnings that host our sausage sizzles.
If you don’t want to sponsor an entire night like Lindsay did in March, and the one coming in November, there is the other scheme for our signed up members.
