Screening of Saturday 19th October 2024

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.

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.

Stories of Girls Who Couldn't be Magicians

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. 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?

Below is the draft program for the evening of Saturday October 19th, 2024.

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

Screening of Saturday 12th October 2024

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.

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.
This week will be two episodes of “Spice and Wolf”, as well as two episodes of “Zom 100” to improve your anime viewing.

No Screening this Saturday, 5th October 2024

No JAFWA screening until Saturday 12th October 2024!

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.

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. On the night nearest your birthday, you can nominate something to play during the Dinner Break (limited to 30 minutes max).

Screening of Saturday 28th September 2024

Screening on the evening of Saturday, September 28th 2024

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 of Saturday 21st September 2024

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 of Saturday 14th September 2024

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”.

No Screening this Saturday, 7th September 2024

No JAFWA screening until Saturday 14th September 2024!

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. 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 and inform us in advance please.

Event Afternoon followed by Screening on Saturday 31st August 2024

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, August 31st 2024, after the Event Afternoon

With the ending of this last month of Winter (according to the Bureau of Meteorology) and you know what that means – it is the monthly Member’s Prize draw!
Also, we will be having quick survey during the Dinner Break to see which items are enjoyed by the membership, so please be honest and assign scalar values to your choices.

This week JAFWA doesn’t have room for any preview episodes, as we are screening a nice gentle movie set in a very interesting department store.
And we farewell “Undead Unluck”, as it comes to the end of this chapter of the story. Will more anime be forthcoming? Check our library for manga that reveals the story yet to be animated.
And we are still pained that last week “The Apothecary Diaries” finished with no clear timeline until the next season of the anime is made.

Undead Unluck

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. 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?

Screening of Saturday 24th August 2024

Screening on the evening of Saturday, August 24th 2024

We honour our dedicated members who braved last Saturday’s inclement weather to enjoy a night of anime. Surely winter can’t last much longer? Though I expect all die-hard anime otaku to come see the final episode of “Apothecary Diaries” first season this week. And don’t forget to prepare for the Event Afternoon on the week after this one.

This week JAFWA has managed to fit in a couple of new preview episodes, one where it turns out that there can be an advantage in having too much muscles when attending magic school, and the other about fitting in a post-human world.

Mashle
Bye Bye Earth
Apothecary Diaries

For those of you who are interested, the Japanese Film Festival has gone from showing a series of Japanese movies online, to now showing TV episodes.

Screening of Saturday 17th August 2024

Screening on the evening of Saturday, August 17th 2024

Last week a wonderful night was had by all, and the weather was so pleasant we almost needed our Sun Disactivator.
Meanwhile the speculation is rife if the anime within-an-anime “Alice in Nerima-Land” might possibly become a real anime.

This week JAFWA starts a new regular series – the popular “Go! Go! Loser Ranger!” will be replacing “Demon Slayer”, and because we saw the preview episode barely a month ago, we will continue with episode #2 this week. And we has also managed to fit in a preview episode that involves how to deal with a (Dai-)Kaijuu attack aftermath.

Kaiju No.9
Go Go Loser Ranger

For those of you who are interested, the Japanese Film Festival has gone from showing a series of Japanese movies online, to now showing TV episodes.

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.
