JAFWA continues in June (Winter Hours:- 4:15PM->9:45PM)
Now that we approach the deepest, darkest day of Winter, ie the Winter Solstice, know that you can find the welcoming light of an anime screening over at JAFWA. 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?
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. 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.
From Thursday June 6th 2025 — Preview of the second season, of DanDaDan: Evil-Eye will be appearing at various cinemas. You should check if the session is subbed or dubbed.
Saturday July 12th 2025, 9AM-12PM — More geeky stuff before JAFWA Nexus Toy & Collectors Fair 34 Kent St, East Victoria Park WA.
Saturday July 19th 2025, — JAFWA Annual General Meeting to be held before the screening.
Saturday July 19th 2025, — JAFWA committee elections to be held during the Dinner Break, assuming enough people nominate.
JAFWA continues in June (Winter Hours:- 4:15PM->9:45PM)
Let jubilation hold sway, for now the jolly month of June will be hosting JAFWA. Come, let our anime screening warm your soul. 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?
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?
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.

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?

It is JAFWA‘s regular one Saturday a month break from screening anime. This allows you, our wonderful attendees, to enjoy some other “Life” (sticky and organic as it is) on the first Saturday of May, prior to Star Wars Day, Revenge of the Fifth and Return of the Sixth. NOTE: your beloved JAFWA committee will be running a Bunnings Sausage Sizzle fundraiser for the club on Saturday 3rd May at Cannington Bunnings. So between voting for pollies, also come give your vote for JAFWA’s anime infused serving of a sausage in a bun (we booked May 3 before the PM). If this thing full of politicians called “Life” gets too much for you, be aware that during the weekend you can support local artists at Tokyo Alley 13: Mystery at the Perth Convention and Exhibition Centre. Or there is an anime styled movie starting in cinemas:
WARNING! Starting next session, JAFWA will be operating in Winter Hours, basically 1 hour sooner than normal April hours. Account for this time change on May 10!

April has gone so fast, with the JAFWA regular program winding down, ready for a renewal in May (during our Winter Hours). We have a couple of special end-of-month activities: First, during the Dinner Break we will have a special survey to help determine which shows will be happening in May. Just as the Japanese battle-cruise Ibuki escorted and guarded the first ANZAC troop carriers, we suggest it is your JAFWA duty to help guide the course of JAFWA‘s program with disciplined wisdom. Secondly, after the usual Door Prize draw (where you can buy extra 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).
Specifically to this week’s program we are pausing “Dr Stone – Science Future” (on an awesome plot point no less) while we await Japan to reveal more episodes scheduled for July. “Apothecary Diaries” does not appear to have a delay before the second cour. We show the final two episodes of the current season of “Oshi no Ko” and “Overlord”. And we finish the first season of “DanDaDan, but dread not for there will be a second season later this year, for in June there will be a movie out in Perth cinemas “DanDaDan – Evil Eye” that comprises the first 3 episodes of the second season and presumably some exposition to explain the first season. With all that excitement JAFWA still has room for a requested preview episode before the survey, and room before the Late Break for an OAV based off of the work of horror manga-ka Junji Ito.
Both Elliot and Greg have provided little 2 minute shows that you might be interested in.
If you don’t want to sponsor an entire night like both Lindsay and Elliot did last year, 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).

Tis’ the season Sakura blooming with the unfolding of Spring in Japan. In Perth we will have to wait perhaps 6 months for the tree up the road from JAFWA does blossom. What to do until then? Come to JAFWA to consider suggestions.
This week we say good bye to two regular series – “The Weakest Tamer went on a Journey to Pick up Trash”, and the current chapter of “Rising of the Shield Hero” reaches its conclusion. Come May we will have a lot of new series starting, but this week we have room for a couple of preview items – a look at what automation does without humans in “Apocalypse Hotel”, and a double episode of preview item “Solo Levelling” based off of the Korean manga/manhwa.
