No Screening on Saturday September 7^th, 2019

This is our usual once a month break, to recharge our batteries, and let you dear JAFWAites enjoy/suffer through the messy organic thing called ‘Life’. Recall that the Dr Who fan club WestLodge will be holding a meeting in the Collins Street Hall this Saturday afternoon.

JAFWA returns on September 14^th August, whence we shall start 3 new regular series. We are still compiling the survey tallies, so we can not tell you which new series have been chosen yet. Though towards the end of the night, we shall have a preview episode to whet your quasi-historical palate. And sometime we are going to manage to schedule a preview of the oft requested “Fire Force” and “Dr Stone”.

On December 14^th we will have our end of year marathon screening, and your Suggestions are welcome. The JAFWA committee has already scheduled room for “Akira”, and we have received a request for the movie “Millenium Actress”. Any other requests/suggestions?
Be aware, we also intend to run an auction for our members. Tell us what you want us to auction of yours, preferably well in advance, so we can schedule enough time into the program, as well as inform people so that they can bring plenty of money to bid.

A reminder that JAFWA member Dale is offering to do a bulk import order of Japanese calendars, in order to reduce shipping costs. The 2020 calendars are being to be listed in dribs and drabs, as seen here or here, with more to come as the publishing companies confirm their schedules. Is anyone interested in ordering Japanese calendars via Dale?

The expected program for Saturday September 14^th is as follows:

All items in the original Japanese language with English subtitles. With assistance from a grant from

The latest Japanese Summer 2019 season of anime is underway in Japan. Do any of these or these titles look like they are worth previewing at JAFWA in 2018?
