Screening on the evening of September 25^th 2021

Remenber that we have returned to holding JAFWA sessions starting at 5:15PM. Mainly due to our old enemy the sun, trying to once more take ascendency in the sky. The Equinox will have passed, amd nights grow shorter than the daylight.
Our formal poll of regarding our grand experiment of starting (and ending) an hour earlier in May through Augusthas passed 19 to 2.

This being the last JAFWA session in August, expect usual end of month Survey during the Dinner Break this week. There will be a few new timeslots opening in the program starting next month, and the surveys help the JAFWA committe decide upon what to put on.
Followed by the monthly Member’s Prize draw.

This week, 2 of our regular series finish (though Attack on Titan still has part B of the final season to come out).
This week we will also preview another anime series from Japan, and witness how burn-out affects actors in a children’s TV show.

Annual General Meeting resolutions

Resolutions that occurred during the AGM on July 17^th include:

1. Experiment with earlier hours during the coldest part of Winter. We changed the bookings for August for this trial, now completed. – Resolution 19 to 2 that we should have 1 hour earlier starting next May through to August.
2. Have a celebratory Dinner for the JAFWA committee members and general members, to be held on the evening of Saturday December 18^th 2021, in lieu of a screening.
3. New mascot design – will try asking at the next Artist’s Alley.
4. Tell people they can sponsor an anime night.

We will be attempting to implement these as soon as practical.

Currently we are looking for suggestions for a location for the dinner, and we are taking expressions of interest for attendees.
We will need to make the booking by the end of October, so places and attendance by then.

JAFWA member Roy has submitted an interesting design for the logo which is under review. Any other budding artists at JAFWA who want to gives it a try?

Screening on the evening of September 11^th 2021

After the grand experiment of starting (and ending) an hour earlier in August, this month we return to holding JAFWA sessions starting at 5:15PM. Mainly due to our old enemy the sun, trying to once more take ascendency in the sky.
However, we will be organising a formal poll of your ideas regarding our August experiment, and the possibility of a permanent change to our Winter operating hours.

Recently, anime sessions have been released in 1-cour (ie a Season of 12~13 weekly episodes) blocks, where a series that would have 24 episodes across two Seasons (ie 2 cour) is instead is released in two half series. And so it is with the second season of “That Time I Was Re-incarnated as a Slime”.
This week we hit the midpoint (ie end of part 1) of the second series, so after tonight we will take a hiatus for a while before considering showing part2 of the second season of “That Time I Was Re-incarnated as a Slime”. Meaning next week we get to see a new regular series, so stay tuned.

This week we will be starting a new regular series, and the third series of “Fruits Basket” was chosen from the monthly survey rankings. We will also have two preview episodes, the intriguing “Sonny Boy”, and the “Cells at Work: Code Black”, set in an unhealthy body with unhealthy habits.

Annual General Meeting resolutions

Resolutions that occurred during the AGM on July 17^th include:

1. Experiment with earlier hours during the coldest part of Winter. We have changed the bookings for August for this trial.

Event Afternoon before JAFWA Screening

It has been 3 months since the last one. JAFWA has the hall from about 12:00PM to 3:30PM, 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, and see if your game machine can plug into it. 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.

Early Screening on the late afternoon and evening of August 28^th 2021

This month we are experimenting with holding the JAFWA sessions an hour earlier, to counteract the cold Winter.
So remember to turn up for a 4:15 start! During the month of August only. Next month we go back to the normal 5:15PM start.

This being the last JAFWA session in August, expect usual end of month Survey during the Dinner Break this week. There will be a few new timeslots opening in the program starting next month, and the surveys help the JAFWA committe decide upon what to put on.
Followed by the monthly Member’s Prize draw.

This week will be the final episode of “Ascendance of a Bookworm”. A pleasant little isekai show, that did not suffer from being overpowered in the fantasy department.

The honeymoon session with new (old) JAFWA committee in charge went rather well, with quite a few people enjoying the bonus item we screened. The committee would appreciate it if other such items were brought to our attention.
Please continue giving appropriate obesience to your beloved committee members. I am sure that Drew, Glenn, Mark, Sally, Dale and Greg would appreciate it.

This being the last JAFWA session in July, expect usual end of month Survey during the Dinner Break this week. We have had a few preview episodes recently, that you will need to decide between. And we will throw in one more this evening – since last week’s preview episode was half-length, this week’s preview episode will be double-length.
Followed by the monthly Member’s Prize draw.
