This week we have our regular program slightly interrupted in order to fit in a preview episode, and you may lose sleep if you miss watching this.

No Screening this Saturday, 3rd June 2023

No JAFWA until Saturday 10th June 2023!

Yes, JAFWA is taking its regular break from Screening this Saturday. We wish to be refreshed when we return in June proper.

Though if you attend the Hall this Saturday from Midday, you are likely to encounter the local Doctor Who club.

Don’t forget that in July it will be time for the AGM and JAFWA elections. Isn’t it time you stepped up and participated? Nomination open in June – plan your election platform.

Dale’s Suggestive Remarks

It is a pleasant surprise to discover that we have another entry in our suggestion box, from Saturday 27th of May.
The Suggestion is anonymous, and the hand-writing is neater than mine:

  • Sousou no Frieren

I have been delightedly reading the volumes of this manga in the JAFWA library (where it is known as “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End”), and am heartened by the news that an anime adaption has been made. I will be promoting this anime to the JAFWA committee for it to be included as one of JAFWA’s preview episodes, once it comes out in the last quarter of this year.
There is so much new anime coming out from Japan, even if you discard all the anime series that are “not great”, there is still usually more series than JAFWA has available preview slots. Still, after reading the manga, I expect the anime adaption of “Frieren” should make the cut. Stay tuned!

For those of you who have not been reading the manga from the JAFWA library, “Frieren” harks back to old-school DnD campaigns, where a hero’s party goes on a quest to defeat a great evil and save the world. The story of Frieren starts years after the success of the Hero’s party, and 4 compatriots went their own way – the Human warrior, the Human cleric, the Dwarf and the Elf wizard. Frieren, the near immortal Elf wizard finds herself curious about the ideals espoused bu her short-lived companions, and with renewed interest goes back into the world outside the elf woods and learns the joys of interacting with people she meets on her journey.

Event arvo and Screening on Saturday 27th May 2023

Event Afternoon before JAFWA Screening

JAFWA has the hall from about 12PM to ~3:45PM, 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.

No Screening this Saturday, 6th May 2023

No JAFWA until Saturday 13th May 2023!

This Saturday, while you are all out there enjoying life without JAFWA (if you can call such a life “enjoyable”), you could always pop down to Cannington Bunnings for a sausage sizzle and a little exposure to JAFWA. For yes, this Saturday JAFWA is running the sausage sizzle stand, infusing them with anime goodness as it exudes from our otaku hearts. Trust me, they taste delicious!

May is almost upon us, and beginning in May through to September inclusive, we shall operate 1 hour earlier, to take advantage of the Night ascendant (after all, we are only 1 1/2 months from the Winter Solstice). Make certain to arrive for a 4:15PM start at JAFWA screenings from now on.

Also, the Bean Poll for which retro show to next screen was very, very close between “El Hazard”, “Steins;Gate 0”, and “Tenchi Muyo”. Winning by just a single vote (with a tie for 2nd place), we will be seeing the venerable second series of “Tenchi Muyo – Ryo-Ohki” in the upcoming retro timeslot.

And then in July it will be time for the AGM and JAFWA elections. Isn’t it time you stepped up and participated?

I don’t know what made me happier last week at JAFWA – all the new people who found us as a source to satisfy their craving foranime, or the joy of having gone to the cinemas to embrace Makoto Shinkai’s new anime movie Suzume.
JAFWA is currently still operating on normal, Summer hours. But as a certain franchise would have us know “Winter is Coming”, and starting in May JAFWA will begin operating one hour earlier. This has been your temporal dislocation early warning.

We have exceptional high school students being de-petrified thousands of years in the future into a new Stone Age, and have managed to climb the technological ladder so that they now have a hot air balloon and a sailing ship, in the 3rd season of “Dr Stone”.
Meanwhile the hunt for stolen gold continues as our surviving veterans of the Russo-Japanese war return to the land of the Ainu in the 4th season of “Golden Kamuy”.
And we continue the adventures of impulsive Thorfinn after he left Iceland in one of the last excursions of the Vikings, became enslaved and acquired his freedom after becoming a knife wielding assassin, set in the poorly documented English history 3 generations before the Battle of Hasting, in the 2nd season of “Vinland Saga”.

All this and we preview another anime fresh from Japan.

Screening on the evening of Saturday, April 15th 2023

Hopefully we have all survived last week’s chocolate overdose and will be attending JAFWA craving anime, even if you have to leave SwanCon 2023 early. And some of us have gone to the cinemas to embrace Makoto Shinkai’s new anime movie Suzume.
JAFWA is currently still operating on normal, Summer hours. But as a certain franchise would have us know “Winter is Coming”, and in May JAFWA will begin operating one hour earlier. This has been your temporal dislocation early warning.

This week we continue our regular series of anime goodness, though we farewell “Spy x Family” (while eagerly awaiting season 2) and farewell “Summertime Render”. All this and we preview another anime fresh from Japan.

Revenger

It may be of interest to our members, but Luna Leederville cinemas has introduced Monday Double Features, which includes a couple of Mondays with anime. (Monday April 17 is “Howl’s Moving Castle” and “Princess Mononoke”, June 12 is “Akira” and “Demon Slayer: Mugen Train”)

The next fundraising for JAFWA at Cannington Bunnings sausage sizzle is scheduled for Saturday May 6th, and we would appreciate a volunteer or 3 to help out.
