JAFWA continues in July (Winter Hours:- 4:15PM->9:45PM)
This year has passed quickly at JAFWA with its delightful program. It is already July, and the last week we can accept nominations from our fully signed up financial members (at least 3 months, and resident of WA) to run in the JAFWA committee elections. Whom of our signed up members wish to run/rule JAFWA?
Next Week (on July 19th, starting 2PM) we will be having our Annual General Meeting as per incorporation rules. What item do you want raised at the AGM? Then during the Dinner Break will be held the committee elections, if enough people have nominated that an election is needed.
Long, long ago the JAFWA committee was trying to decide between two superhero anime to screen as a preview. By the tiniest of margins we went with “One Punch Man”. I have always wondered what would have happened if we had chosen “My Hero Academia” instead, But fear not, this week at JAFWA we screen a preview episode of an anime set in the “My Hero Academia” universe.
If you would like to showcase the anime that holds great meaning and value to you, please offer to sponsor a night of JAFWA and screen your favourites. If you don’t want to sponsor an entire night like both Lindsay and Elliot did previously, there is the other scheme for our signed up members. On the night nearest your birthday, as Greg and Sally did, 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.

JAFWA continues in June (Winter Hours:- 4:15PM->9:45PM)
Now that the the day of touji (Japanese for “Winter Solstice”) has passed and night begins to surrender its supremacy, we warm ourselves by the welcoming light of an anime screening over at JAFWA. Know too, that this is the end of the month when we have a survey during our Dinner Break that provides vital guidance in our selection of anime. And we will also have our monthly members’ prize draw, so make certain to attend. An important consideration for June is that we are opening nominations for our fully signed up financial members (at least 3 months, and resident of WA) to run in the JAFWA committee members elections.
Remember that in July we will be having our Annual General Meeting and committee elections, as per incorporation rules. What item do you want raised at the AGM, and who of our signed up members wish to run/rule JAFWA?
Just before the Dinner Break (with its survey) we continue to explore the expansive world of anime at JAFWA this week. Responding to a suggestion in the previous survey, your nearing-the-end-of-their-term committee has presents as a preview episode for this week; a school drama with a love polygon and flowers.
If you would like to showcase the anime that holds great meaning and value to you, please offer to sponsor a night of JAFWA and screen your favourites. If you don’t want to sponsor an entire night like both Lindsay and Elliot did previously, there is the other scheme for our signed up members.

We continue to explore the world of anime at JAFWA this week. For as you should realise, the Land of the Rising Sun produces so many anime titles each season that we can not hope to keep up with it all. We would struggle even if we restrict ourselves only to the best anime titles. But your beloved committee has found a preview episode for this week, something like a sort of domestic slice of life if a Ninja and an Assassin lived together. What perfect room-mates!
If you would like to showcase the anime that holds great meaning and value to you, please offer to sponsor a night of JAFWA and screen your favourites.

This week at JAFWA we will resume the story of “Re:Zero – Starting Life in Another World” after it went on hiatus in Japan for a few months. Also we have a preview episode of another anime from Japan. We are all going to die someday, but what happens if you are cursed to die in a year, and yet there exists a possible way to cancel the curse?

The month of May comes to an end, and as we felt last week, Winter has finally come to JAFWA. So we look to regularity to fortify our appreciation of anime. Firstly, during the Dinner Break we will have a survey on current and recent preview shows to determine their popularity in a scalar fashion. Secondly, after the usual Door Prize draw (where you can buy extra door prize tickets) we will have the monthly Member’s Prize draw (which gets you entries based on how many times you attended JAFWA screenings this month).
This week JAFWA will add a bit of warmth to the program. We will have a preview item, in time for the survey, to take you on a Journey beyond your comfort zone. And then we have an uncommon screening of a theatrical length movie, where a certain cultural phenomena will be animated.
Remember that in July we will be having our AGM and committee elections. What item do you want raised at the AGM, and who of our signed up members wish to run/rule JAFWA?

May is no longer quite so merry for your MC, due to a mistake he made with the program last week. But fear not on my behalf, because as has been said in software development – “yesterday’s bug is tomorrow’s feature”. Thus the dynamic excitement of JAFWA continues as the program continues to evolve.
The JAFWA is too full of goodness this week for a preview item. My mistake last week was showing “Gun Gale Online”. JAFWA does apologies for including GGOs2 in last week’s screening – it is not due to be shown until August. Sorry. Please enjoy two episodes of “Bye, Bye Earth” this week.

It is the merry month of May, and some have already celebrated either Beltane or Samhain (depending on which hemisphere your Seasons are aligned to). But here at JAFWA we know that night is in her ascendancy and it is time for JAFWA to start an hour earlier with our Winter Hours.
This is a good point for the anime-interested to start attending JAFWA with the rest of us otaku, for this week most of our new program is starting from episode #1.
Our first item was screened just a couple of weeks ago, so we will go directly onto episode #2 of post-apocalyptic (of the gentle kind) customer service.
Then we continue the adventures of the least memorable but most powerful psychic.
Before the Dinner Break was originally screened in February, but that is long enough ago that we should repeat the first episode of this doctor detective series.
Then people have indicated that they want to see the further VR adventures of the spin-off series from Sword Art Online.
Then the only show that continues from before May, the gorgeous adventures of a discreet apothecary in a Tang-era China that never was.
Then the space opera continues with the third season of the heroic legends of the future.
Before the Late Break it seems that I was not the only person curious to see how the adventures of a lone human in a anthropomorphic animal world turns out.
After the Late Break we continue the smash hit Korean sword and sorcery in the city, where we screened the first two episodes just a couple of weeks ago, so we will go directly onto episode #3.
Then we continue our short OAV series based off of the works of horror-meister Junji Ito.
And to end the night we go onto the second series of a vigilante gone isekai whose deranged fantasies may actually be true.
Remember that in July we will be having our AGM and committee elections. What item do you want raised at the AGM, and who of our signed up members wish to run/rule JAFWA?
If you strongly feel that JAFWA is neglecting certain well-deserving anime, please offer to sponsor a night of JAFWA and screen your favourites. If you don’t want to sponsor an entire night like both Lindsay and Elliot did previously, there is the other scheme for our signed up members.
