Screening on the evening of Saturday, June 25th 2022

We realise that Supanova 2022 – Perth is on this weekend, but it is for the full weekend. You can skip a couple of hours of it to safely attend JAFWA. It is our final screening night of June, the first one after the Winter Solstice. We need the moral support as once again our old enemy the sun claws its way back towards ascendancy.

What do you get this week, as we continue to warm your soul with the cultural goodness that is anime?

  • Firstly, we have the final episode of “Uramichi-Oniisan”, and farewell the stressful world of live children’s TV.
  • Secondly, a preview episode about two mismatched teenagers who discover they were swapped at birth.
  • Thirdly, a demonstration of love and care, as we survey our attendees as to which shows they like.
  • Fourthly, our Monthly Member’s Prize draw!
  • And finally, to end the night, we have the theatrical anime film “Goblin’s Crown”, carrying on from the rather violent TV series “Goblin Slayer”.
