Screening on the evening of Saturday, January 21^st 2023

JAFWA was glad to see all the people who turned up for the screening last week, be they regular, new or old attendees. It appeared that a good time was had by all.
But if you wait for Saturday, it appears that starting at assorted cinemas on Thursday will be the “That Time I was Re-incarnated as a Slime” movie “Scarlet Bond”. Be aware that some screenings will be dubbed into English, others properly subbed, so plan appropriately.

This week we have a couple of preview item to tempt you away from our regular program – one a post-apocalyptic tale of geo-engineering gone awry, the other about the gangland influences on Tokyo cafes in the Akihabara region. There are so many anime titles coming out each season, we would welcome any good suggestions as to what else JAFWA can preview.

We are also thinking of having a retro-anime timeslot, but which generation(s)-old show should we go with. We may put on a bean poll soon to find out, but first, do you have any suggestions?

Akemashite omedetou gozaimasu!

No JAFWA until Saturday 14^th January 2023!

That most important date in the Japanese calendar – New Year’s Day – has dawned, so I hope everyone has managed to cry forth the traditional Japanese greeting “Akemashite omedetou gozaimasu!“ (aka “Congratulations on the New Year”) for the dawning of the new year.

We will let you celebrate the festivities for another week. JAFWA intends to return after recovering from the New Year’s break, on January 14th, 2023 at the normal start time of just after ~5:00PM (I think we managed to get our booking for the Hall in before the Doctor Who club “Westlodge” booked the afternoon).

No JAFWA until Saturday 14^th January 2023!

The Festive season is upon us, and JAFWA and most of its membership seem to have other plans for Christmas Eve.

We realise that you may be feeling anime withdrawal symptoms, and suggest that you throw yourself into the upcoming festivities and feasting. The good news is that JAFWA shall return in mid-January.
It was good to see all those of our members who attended the end of year dinner. The Yuki restaurant knows how to serve all too large portions.

Screening on the evening of Saturday, December 10^th 2022

This is it!
JAFWA‘s final screening for 2022.
Join us for an evening of popular anime before taking a Holiday Break and reconvening on January 14^th 2023.

We start at our usual time after 5PM for our non-regular program, filled with suggestions from our long time members.
We have assembled a program mainly of request items from yesteryear, plus one very special movie. We went through hoops getting permission from the rights holder in order to screen “The Dragon and the Freckled Princess” (aka “Belle“), but you should really enjoy it.

And then, it is time to wish, to one and all, Season’s Greeting, Happy Holidays and Best Wishes, before we return again in January 2023.
(Though some of us have signed up for the Dinner, so we get a chance to meet and wish all over again)

Cash for Containers

As people may have noticed, JAFWA collects the recyclable containers (cans and bottles) that are disposed of by our attendees. It helps in a small way.

if you too would like to help JAFWA, and get rid of your unwanted recyclable containers, then please take them to Containers for Change, and quote JAFWA’s account number – C10505693.

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.
