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 noticeably.

Screening on the evening of Saturday, November 30^th 2024

We are approaching the end of 2024, and it is time to wrap up so many of our regular series. To make way for a whole new lot of regular series in 2025!
You too can hope to influence the selection of JAFWA‘s new regular series by filling in our survey form during the Dinner Break. Inform us what previewed anime titles shown at JAFWA are most important to you, so that it might help your committee decide what starts in January.
And never forget the monthly member’s prize – the more times you attend per month, the more chances to win!

Last Saturday was a big day for anime. There were the lucky winners who scored double passes to attend the Advance screening of Ghost Cat Anzu at the Luna Leederville preview screening. While aimed at a slightly younger audience than currently typical at JAFWA, it is a worthy anime to watch and I could not help but see what appeared to be some homages to the rich visuals of Studio Ghibli, from the occasional background to richly decorated interior scenes, let alone the selection of supernatural characters. Though the characters were slightly more venal than Studio Ghibli protagonists – selfish greed, manipulativeness, and temper tantrums came up almost as often as for normal children, and even the titular character. The only downside was that they chose the wrong colour for the subtitles, often losing words and sentences against the bright background. Even so, I advise the rest of you to try attending the general cinema release starting on December 5^th.

This week we bring many of our beloved regular series to a finish, even if it takes a couple of episodes. We are left almost content in the knowledge that for many of these animes that this is the end of season one, and that a season two will be made.

If you don’t want to sponsor an entire night like Lindsay or Elliot, 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. Sally has chosen November 30.

Screening on the evening of Saturday, November 16^th 2024

We have seen Elliot’s sponsored night of anime, and the audience appreciation of his anime selection was overwhelmingly positive. We thank Elliot for his taste and wish him many more Happy Birthday’s.
But this week JAFWA’s returns to its regular screening, as there were a couple of cliff-hangers our loyal watchers want resolved. Though we have decided to squeeze in a preview episode due to strong interest.

Our Japanese gastrophiles are more than a little interested that the new Ginza Nana Alley Behind the Pier Street carpark and next to the Ramen shop at shop, 3, Ground Level, 100/104 Murray St, Perth WA 6000. There is even a promotional review.

Last Minute BIG news is that our good friends at Luna Cinemas, Leederville (155 Oxford Street, Leederville. 6007) are supplying us with some double passes for a preview session of the award winning anime film Ghost Cat Anzu to be screened Saturday, 23 November with a 10.30am arrival for an 11.00am film start. These double passes may be won by attending JAFWA this Saturday.
Luna merely asks of the winners that after watching the movie that you please provide: 1.concise, honest feedback on the film you’ve been invited to; 2. review lengths can vary from a sentence to a star review. 3. Additionally, please inform us of the channels where you plan to share your coverage.

This week we have a bizarre preview item, and as is common with first episodes it has a few risque moments to make it memorable. Also, the battle with the boss monsters will require two episodes of “Go! Go! Loser Ranger” to be shown.r

If you don’t want to sponsor an entire night like Lindsay or Elliot, 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.

No JAFWA screening until Saturday 9^th November 2024!

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 9^th, 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 2^nd 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.

If you don’t want to sponsor an entire night like Lindsay did in March, or Elliot’s one 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.

Screening on the evening of Saturday, October 19^th 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.

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?
