No Screening this Saturday, 1st April 2023

No JAFWA until Saturday 8th April 2023!

Even though this Saturday is traditionally April Fool’s Day, JAFWA is actually taking our once per month break. While you are all out there enjoying life without JAFWA (if you can call such a life “enjoyable”), and I suppose some of you will be attending Oz Comic Con 2023 at the Perth Exhibition and Convention Center.

April is almost upon us, and April will be the last month that JAFWA operates in normal/Summer hours. Between May and September inclusive, we shall operate 1 hour earlier, to take advantage of the Night ascendant (after all, we have passed the Autumn equinox). We give you a month’s warning to prepare for the temporal dislocation.

And than a month or two later it will be time for the AGM and JAFWA elections. Isn’t it time you stepped up and participated?

The expected program

Below is the tentative program for the evening of Saturday April 8th, 2023.

Screening on Saturday 25th March 2023

The month of March has passed so quickly (and enjoyably)! You have spent the afternoon at Perth Japan Festival, and now the evening watching anime with your fellow otaku.

Once more it is time for the monthly JAFWA Member’s Prize. Please attend in order to receive it promptly should you be drawn as our fortunate winner. (every attendance this month improves your chance)
Also of importance this week, is our monthly survey to see what anime is popular at JAFWA. Please fill in each of the scalar ranked survey forms and bias JAFWA’s future programming direction. For instance, I suspect that several of last week’s viewers may rank “High Card” rather highly. Will you aid or dilute them?

But in general we continue our new regular program anime goodness, with the exception that this week we have slipped in a sample of anime as yet unseen at JAFWA with the first episode of “Tomo-chan is a Girl“. And try not to be too sad that this week we finish the the third season of “Golden Kamuy” (though the 4th is around the corner).

Tomo-chan is a Girl

It may be of interest to our members, but Luna Leederville cinemas is introducing Monday Double Features, which includes a couple of Mondays with anime.

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.

Event Afternoon before JAFWA Screening

JAFWA has the hall from about ~1PM to 4:30PM, where it is make our own amusement time.

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.

Screening on the evening of Saturday, February 25th 2023

JAFWA has come to the end of February. And you know what that means – Our monthly Member’s Prize Draw (Woo-Hoo!), along with our member survey to see what you like in the program, and what you don’t.
This particular survey will help JAFWA determine which new regular series will start in March.

This week we farewell a couple of series, “The Devil is a Part-Timer“, and “Ascendance of a Bookworm“. I suspect a few people are hoping that another season of these anime is produced.

Devil is a Part-Timer Ascendance of a Bookworm

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

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.

Screening on the evening of Saturday, February 18th 2023

JAFWA begins its retro timelsot this week, with an old favourite, last screened at JAFWA in 2017.
Our usual program continues with several series approaching their end, meaning March will be a lot of new regular series. Thus your beloved JAFWA committee has reviewed some of the anime coming out of Japan, and found a few worthy-appearing episodes to preview this week, to see if anything appeals, and gets voted in in next week’s survey.

Tenchi Muyo Sugar Apple Fairy Tale Witch From Mercury Tale of Outcasts

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

Dale’s Suggestive Remarks

The month of January presented an entry in our suggestion box. In fact two suggestions from Saturday 28th of January.
Both Suggestions are anonymous, but the hand-writing appears different:

  • Gate, thus the JSDF fought there

    An excellent little anime, where the isekai genre was too new to be ubiquitously annoying, where the JSDF had to deal with and inter-dimensional invasion, where the invaders were a little too low-tech, and in the protagonist we all saw our otaku selves. JAFWA screened all 24 episode of “Gate: Jieitai Kano Chi nite, Kaku Tatakaeri” back in 2016, hence it is a little too soon to request it for the retro-anime timeslot (when that resumes, possibly later in February).
    As a side note, our dear JAFWAites enjoyed this series so much that one of our members even ordered the rather expensive “Rory Mercury” figure. That was gorgeous, and I am trying not to be jealous.

  • Girls Frontline
    Feb 22

    OK, I must admit I missed this when it first came out. Thankfully there is such a large quantity of anime being produced each Season that overlooking some titles is easy enough to accomplish. According to skimming trusty Wikipedia, this is based off of a Chinese made strategy RPG for mobile phones, then converted into an anime in Japan. We will attempt to dig up a copy from Feb 2022, and the JAFWA committee will evaluate whether it should have a preview episode sometime.

No Screening this Saturday, 4th February 2023

No JAFWA until Saturday 11th February 2023!

Hopefully the news that we are skipping a weekend will not be too disappointing, especially to all the new faces that showed up last week. Though if you attend the Hall next Saturday afternoon, you are likely to encounter the local Doctor Who club. And if you are out Guildford way, there is Oddities & Anime Market.

But never Fear! It does appear that local cinemas will soon be screening later this week another anime movie – Sword Art Online: Progressive -Scherzo of Deep Night at Event Cinemas and Hoyts Carousel. This is the sequel to “Sword Art Online Progressive: Aria of a Starless Night”, and seems to expand on the events in the first season of the anime. You will have to check which screenings will be dubbed into English, and which properly subbed, so plan appropriately.

    OK, I must admit I missed this when it first came out. Thankfully there is such a large quantity of anime being produced each Season that overlooking some titles is easy enough to accomplish. According to skimming trusty Wikipedia, this is based off of a Chinese made strategy RPG for mobile phones, then converted into an anime in Japan. We will attempt to dig up a copy from Feb 22. and the JAFWA committee will evaluate whether it should have a preview episode sometime.

Screening on the evening of Saturday, January 28th 2023

Can you believe it!?! A whole month of JAFWA has come to pass it 2023.
But you know what that means – Our monthly Member’s Prize Draw, along with our member survey to see what you like in the program, and what you don’t. (Don’t rank the regular program items too low)

To help add spice to the monthly survey, this week we have another preview item to tempt you away from our regular program – a slice of life story of high-school, isolation and rock-and-roll. We will screen this before the Dinner Break, which means we will have to double-up one of our other regular series, say “Jujutsu Kaisen”.
There are so many anime titles coming out each season, we would welcome any good suggestions as to what else JAFWA can preview.

Bocchi the Rock

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?

Currently at assorted cinemas is 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.
