Event Afternoon before JAFWA Screening

JAFWA has the hall from about ~1PM to 4:30PM, 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. 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.

Sally had a wicked look in her eye as to what to do this Event Arvo.

Screening on the evening of Saturday, November 26^th 2022

The month of November seems to be so busy with events for the fannish minded. Last weekend’s big event was the [ KaiCon ] Kaiga Anime Convention 2022 at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre, later this week is the start of the Japanese Film Festival, and this Saturday JAFWA is hosting an Event afternoon of make your own fun. This weekend is also the closest screening to the 32^nd birthday of JAFWA. Maybe I will bring sushi to celebrate!

On a somewhat somber note – this is JAFWA’s last regular screening of the year. We will be finishing two regular series, and holding a survey to help decide what the program will be when we resume regular screening in January.
Also, this is the last opportunity to put in requests for the special screening of December 10^th.

Screening on the evening of Saturday, November 12^th 2022

The month of November dawns, and we once again praise our Librarian Kris and his Sun Disactivator. Technically JAFWA is starting a new regular series this week, but strictly speaking it is the continuation of the wonderful “Golden Kamuy” as our intrepid gold seekers invade Imperial Russia.
And we will sneak in a preview episode aimed at the DIY enthusiasts, called “Do It Yourself”.

And we have scored some passes to see “One Piece: Red” at the cinemas. Can anyone say “Door Prizes”?

A reminder that the Japanese Film Festival is upon us. Book tickets early or risk missing out

Screening on the evening of Saturday, October 29^th 2022

A reminder that the Japanese Film Festival is upon us. Book tickets early or risk missing out

The month of October draws to an end, though the program at JAFWA starts a two more new regular series – Firstly the second season of “Spy x Family”, and the long requested next season of “Ascendance of a Bookworm”.
“Golden Kamuy” will not be on this week, but we intend to see its return in November. This week enjoy two episode of “Tokyo Revengers”.

Also, we have our monthly member’s draw, and the monthly survey.

Don’t forget that we have gone back to our normal 5:15PM start.

Japanese Calendars

It is that time of year again – when Japanese calendars for 2023 are available order. The JAFWA MC is personally taking orders up till the end of October (ie this week). I have received an order already, and I will probably fulfill the order from here. It is early yet, so not all of the calendars have been listed so far. The link I gave pointed to only Anime calendars, but the left menu shows other categories if you are interested.
This site may be slightly more up-to-date in titles being listed.

The Australian dollar is not buying much these days, but probably more than last year, and if we bundle our orders together, we should be able to get cheaper shipping rates. So long as we don’t miss the pre-order period.

Screening on the evening of Saturday, October 15^th 2022

First an alert that the Japanese Film Festival is upon us. Book tickets early or risk missing out

The month of October brings further changes to the program at JAFWA.
Firstly, we weren’t able to implement all the new programs we originally intended to implement. Nor did we have room for a retro series. We got too ambitious. Sorry.
Secondly, we are going to start a new regular series this week – the second season of “The Devil is a Part-Timer”. Why did they wait so long to produce this sequel???
Thirdly, our beloved series “Spy x Family” finishes this evening, with two episodes. There will be a brief hiatus before the second series appears.
Fourthly, we will have a preview item this week, based off of a series of computer games.
Fifthly, we went with “Tokyo Revengers” because it turns out that “Jujutsu Kaisen” is commercially available locally.

Don’t forget that we go back to out 5:15PM start.
