Weekly Bulletin for Saturday 30th July, 2016

Screening

Below is the program for July 30th, 2016.

The Election has been decided, with Nathaniel “Nephi” Mitchell graciously bowing out leaving the way for Paul “Redraw” Clune to join the JAFWA committee.

Tonight is going to be a movie night, but we haven’t found a full-length movie that seem appropriate, so instead we will have a selection of shorter movies and OAVs.
Typically on a movie night we offer free entry to those people in anime cosplay, but we suspect most people would prefer to rug up a bit more than the typical anime costume provides.

Another reason to attend – we will be auctioning off good stuff during the Dinner Break. Bring Lots of Money.

Again we would like to thank Lotteries West, who are preparing to provide us with a grant to continue our good work.

Synopsis

Fairy Tail second series

Magic and mayhem in the nation of Fiore. The members of the infamous mage’s guild Fairy Tail spend their days sorting out problems for the residents of Magnolia and battling the odd apocalyptic demon or dark guild. Of course they don’t let little things like that get in the way of having fun.

Tonight’s Episodes:Droplets of Time

While searching for Ultear, Jellal and Meledy are approached by Doranbolt, who reveals that he has wiped the Magic Council’s memories of the dragon attack. He also reveals that Cobra has turned himself in, and forewarns them about the dark guild Tartaros. The two later receive a letter from an elderly woman telling them about Ultear’s sacrifice.

Flying Witch

The cheerful and pleasant Kowata Makoto has come to Aomori to complete high school. She will be boarding with her cousin Muramoto Kei. Nothing unusual there right? Well, not quite.

Tonight’s Episodes:The Regular Customers

Makoto and friends are still enjoying Café Concrucio, and they get to meet the witch owners, and some of the supernatural regulars. There is room for confusion.

It seems that Mari’s father invented a time machine …

Tonight’s Episodes:Gilbert the Sage

Mari Hayase is more likely to take after her patissier mother than her scientist father. Not that her family has seen or heard from her father in 3 years, which isn’t too remarkable for him. But when she visit’s her friend Waka’s house, she discovers that Waka’s brother has one of her father’s books. And that the necklace that her father gave her, triggers and transports her through time. A Japanese schol uniform is considered scandalous in England of several centuries ago. Will Waka get her friend back? Will Mari find a clue to where, and when, her father is?
