Screening on the evening of Saturday, January 22^nd 2022

JAFWA‘s Summer of 2022 continues. All the new reular series we intended to start in January have started, including our retro series (though February is still to come). We can still intrigue you with soem preview episodes of other anime produced in Japan. So come along this Saturday, as start screening interesting anime from 5:15PM.

We apologise for last week, where our preview episode turned out to be double-length, and pushed the program nearly 20 minutes late. It was such an exciting episode that none of our reviewers noticed it had been stretched out, nor did the audience when it was shown. We only worked it out after we realised that the Late Break had started so late. We will try to avoid this overrun with tonight’s preview episode. This preview will just drag out “Vivy”‘s cliff-hanger from last week a luttle longer.

In addition to our regular program. We also screen various things during the Dinner Break. Like last week when we screened various anime music videos, one of our attendees asked anout this strange “Bubblegum Crisis” anime that came with its own music.
The scary thing is that he could not have been borns when BGC was made. Screening BGC was a staple of early JAFWA. To have someone not recoginise this cyberpunk anime classic, makes me feel old.
Does any one else want JAFWA to screen this anime gem once more? Maybe we could sneak an episode into the Dinner Break.

Excitement is growing over the new Mamoru Hosoda anime “Belle“, to appear at the cinema later this week.

Screening on the evening of Saturday, January 8^th 2022

Akemeshite Omedetou Gozaimasu!

JAFWA intends to return after the New Year’s break, on January 8^th, 2022, though at a later start time ~6:00PM for that week only, because the Doctor Who club booked the afternoon before we reserved the evening.

Welcome to 2022. We didn’t manage to finish all of our regular series from 2021, so we will have a few familiar programs this session. And because our dear JAFWAites voted for next season of a couple of series, some of our starting series will also be familiar. Due to this week’s shortened timeframe, not all our new series start tonight, there will be a couple for next week. And the joy of preview episodes is not to be had this week either.

No JAFWA until Saturday 8^th January 2022

Definitely no JAFWA screening this week. Merry Christmas!
Another year of JAFWA screenings has come and gone. We have finished up as many regular series as possible, so that you won’t be on tenterhooks waiting for the next episode while over the New Year’s break.

Life! That glorious thing called “Life” can be enjoyed and celebrated this week! The Festive season is upon us, with so many traditional celbrations taking palce, too many to list all, but a small sample is Summer Solstice, Newtonmas, Saturnalia, Festivus, and that Perth Favourite – Christmas. May this be a time of Good Cheer!

JAFWA intends to return on January 8^th, 2022, though at a later start time ~6:00PM for that week only, because the Doctor Who club booked the afternoon before we reserved the evening.

Screening on the evening of November 27^th 2021

Having a good day at Kaiga Anime Festival Kaicon at the Claremont Showgrounds? Round it off with an evening at JAFWA this Saturday. Technically this month is the 31^st Anniversary of JAFWA. Are you celebrating in a good way? 🙂

Have you booked interest in JAFWA’s end of year Dinner yet? We have booked for 18 people at Yuki in Willeton, for 6:30PM on Saturday 18^th December. If anymore people wish to come, inform us immediately so that we can adjust the booking. Alo, if you wish to order anything spical, such as sukiyaki.

The end of the year is rapidly approaching (this being the 2^nd last screening of 2021), and we wish to finish as many regular series as possible, so as not to inflict a long break before we resume in 2022. But that means we will have empty timeslots, so before the next survey (being held during the Dinner Break) helps us decide what to show, we have one last preview episode in 2021 for you to consider for next year’s program possibilities.

This week we will be holding our monthly survey to determine which items (be they regular or recent preview) in the JAFWA program that appeals to our discerning audience. Then at the end of the Dinner Break we will have our monthly Member’s Prize draw.
