Screening on the evening of Saturday, April 8th 2023
We have survived a week off from JAFWA, though some people consoled themselves at Oz Comic Con 2023, at the Perth Exhibition and Convention Center.
The month of April is now uponst us, the last month where JAFWA operates on normal, Summer hours. Or as a certain franchise would have us know – Winter is Coming.
This week a new regular series joins our program of anime goodness, and we preview a couple of other anime fresh from Japan. Though if you check out or JAFWA library, you might realise we have the first volume of the manga for one of the preview items.
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.
Expected program for the evening of Saturday April 8th, 2023.
All items in the original Japanese language with English subtitles. With assistance from a grant from
