No Screening this Saturday, 7th December 2024

No JAFWA screening until Saturday 14th December 2024!

December is upon us and JAFWA‘s last screening of 2024, before we thake some Summer Holidays and return in 2025 for an all new program. On the 14th, we will have finish off the last two regular series in the JAFWA program (“Frieren” and “Chainsaw Man”), as well as have some other interesting items. The movie is probably going to be “Blue Thermal”, though we have “Mirai” in reserve.

Though many of our members might be experimenting with this (possibly over-rated) thing called “Life” this weekend, be aware that there are a couple of anime movies in cinemas starting this Thursday 5sup December. First there is the delightful “Ghost Cat Anzu” movies for younger audiences, that I reviewed back in November. And to my surpise, the recent “Solo Levelling” TV series has a movie, which I am not certain if this movie is the first several episodes of the TV series or a whole new story.
Though before Thursday, there are still some movies left in the Experience the Magic of Studio Ghibli on 35mm Film at The Revival House Perth, Como Theatre.

If you don’t want to sponsor an entire night like Lindsay did in March, or Elliot in November, there is the other scheme for our signed up members. On the night nearest your birthday, as 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.

Event Afternoon followed by Screening on Saturday 30th November 2024

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 30th 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 5th.


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.

Torture Princess
Spice and Wolf
Bye Bye Earth
Kaijuu No.8
Zom 100

Screening on the evening of Saturday, November 23rd 2024

Saturday will be a big day for anime. First we have the lucky winners from last week who attend the Advance screening of Ghost Cat Anzu at Luna Cinema, then in the evening wee all come to the JAFWA’s screening. Who knows how many spoilers for “Ghost Cat Anzu” will occur between our normal program, while everyone awaits the general cinema release on December 5th.

This week David is hoping to have enough on the new T/Shirt designs to provide a presentation to the audience. Imagine having clothes promoting our love of JAFWA and anime good enough to wear into fancy places (I am 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).


This week we have another bizarre preview item, from an anonymous request. Our beloved “Go! Go! Loser Ranger” comes to the end of the first season, with most of use eager for a second season right now! To assuage the loss of the monster fights, we will also screen two episodes of “Kaijuu No.8” to be shown.

Screening on the evening of Saturday, November 16th 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.

Ghost Cat Anzu


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

Special Screening on the evening of Saturday, November 9th 2024

The month of November is suddenly upon us, meaning this is the last month of JAFWA’s regular screening in 2024. Well, there is the irregular screening in December, and we return in 2025.
EXCEPT! This week 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!

The sausage sizzle we performed last week went well. Did we manage to feed your expectations?

Let me repeat, this week at JAFWA we have an irregular program, composed mainly of Elliot’s favourite episodes. Unfortunately this does not include the movie “Redline” as we were not able to acquire the screening rights to it. But the rest is good.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. This will result in a few nights where we screen more than one episode of a particular series. Though we hope to sneak in a couple of preview episodes here and there.

Slayers
MS-Gundam Seed
Tekkamen Blade

InuYasha
Zone of Enders

Screening on the evening of Saturday, October 26th 2024

The month of October has simply raced by, and now we are at the end. Naturally that means it is time for JAFWA’s monthly survey, followed by a Member’s Prize draw.

The The Japanese Film Festival has come and gone in Perth, to the pleasure of attending Japanese culture fans (ahem otaku).

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.
This week the “torture” returns and there will be two episodes of “Spice and Wolf”, as well as two episodes of “Zom 100” to improve your anime viewing.

Torture Princess

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?

Screening of Saturday 19th October 2024

Screening on the evening of Saturday, October 19th 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.

Stories of Girls Who Couldn't be Magicians

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?

Below is the draft program for the evening of Saturday October 19th, 2024.

Screening of Saturday 12th October 2024

Screening on the evening of Saturday, October 12th 2024

While some parts of this country has gone to Daylight Savings, JAFWA has returned to its normal hours, where 5PM is a little too early and 11PM will see the place locked up. So rejoice that JAFWA has returned for October, and give thanks to the hard-working Librarian Kris and his Sun Disactivator.

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. This will result in a few nights where we screen more than one episode of a particular series. Though we hope to sneak in a couple of preview episodes here and there.
This week will be two episodes of “Spice and Wolf”, as well as two episodes of “Zom 100” to improve your anime viewing.

No Screening this Saturday, 5th October 2024

No JAFWA screening until Saturday 12th October 2024!

September has ended as has the Winter Hours, for with the coming of October JAFWA will be enjoying it usual hours. So when you come to embrace our anime screening on the 12th remember that we are starting just after 5PM.

While you wait this JAFWA weekend off, be aware the things aren’t entirely bleak on the anime front. Assorted cinemas last week started showing the anime movie Trapezium. And this coming Saturday for those of us without enough fannish stuff is Nexus Toy and Collectors Fair from 9AM to 12PM at 34 Kent St, East Victoria Park WA. And dare we forget Anime in the Valley over the weekend, at Swan Settlers Market in Herne Hill.

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).
