Screening of Saturday 14th September 2024

Screening on the evening of Saturday, August 10^th 2024

It is time to Spring into anime at your friendly JAFWA screening. Don’t worry, as we are still operating on Winter Hours still, for the rest of this month.

This week JAFWA had been thinking we would be starting some new regular series this week, but deliberations have pushed that back to next week. Instead we will have a couple of series finish this week by showing the last two episodes, as well as a preview episode to soothe the people distressed at the delay in getting the second season of “The Apothecary Diaries”.

If you don’t want to sponsor an entire night like Lindsay did in March, and the one coming in November, there is the other scheme for our signed up members. On the night nearest your birthday, you can nominate something to play during the Dinner Break (limited to 30 minutes max). You may have to help us source this material, so plan in advance please.

And there is the end of year irregular screening to consider. What do you want to see in it?

Synopsis

‘Tis Time for “Torture,” Princess (Hime-sama Goumon mo Jikan desu)

In an ongoing battle between the humanity’s Imperial Army and the demonic Hell-hordes, the princess from the army has been captured along with her holy sword Ex. Since regular torture is prohibited by the prisoner of war treaty between the two parties, the grand inquisitor, Torture Tortura, employs unusual “torture” (in air quotes) techniques.

This evening’s Episode: “episode 5“

Tortura takes Princess by a river and entices her with toasted marshmallows. She confesses, and plays in the river. Tortura is ordered to “torture” her for a second time in the same day. The princess, taking pity, confesses a secret to her “in passing”. Youki and Inki are invited over, and they along with Tortura, Datama, Ex, and Princess play in the river together.

Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End (Sousou no Furiiren)

For ten years, elf mage Frieren traveled with Himmel the hero, Heiter the priest, and Eisen the dwarf warrior as they quested to destroy the demon king. At the end of their journey, Frieren set out on her own, not quite understanding how differently time flows for her versus her human companions. Reunited after fifty years only to see them wither and die, Frieren begins to ponder the nature of connections at a time when it’s already too late to say goodbye.

This Evening’s Episode: “Take Care“

As Sein takes his time to decide, the party stays at the village but their departure is halted when a snowstorm falls, keeping them in the village for an entire month. During this time, Fern gets angry at Stark and Sein discovers that it was because Stark accidentally grabbed her shoulder with too much strength. Then Fern falls sick.

Where Does the Doomsday Train Go? (“Shuumatsu Train Doko e Iku?”)

In a town in a not-so-ordinary countryside, there is a big and strange occurrence happening to its residents. But a young girl named Shizuru Chikura has a strong desire to see her lost friend again. Shizuru and three other girls board an abandoned train, and they set out to the outside world, where survival is not certain. They’ll discover what awaits them at the last stop of the “Doomsday Train.”

This Evening’s Episode: “Maybe She’s a Lost Cause“

The girls finally arrive in Ikebukuro, but crash into the station due to Shizuru going too fast. After fighting Pontaro’s henchmen, they locate Yoka, but she fails to remember them and unleashes powerful shockwaves that affect reality around them. Pontaro discovers their presence and orders his henchmen to capture them, but they manage to escape.

Spice and Wolf: merchant meets the wise wolf (“Ookami to Koushinryou: merchant meets the wise wolf”)

The life of a traveling merchant is a lonely one, a fact with which Kraft Lawrence is well acquainted. Wandering from town to town with just his horse, cart, and whatever wares have come his way, the peddler has pretty well settled into his routine—that is, until the night Lawrence finds a wolf goddess asleep in his cart. She strikes up a bargain with the merchant to lend him the cunning of “Holo the Wisewolf” to increase his profits in exchange for taking her along on his travels. Lawrence soon learns, though, that having an ancient goddess as a traveling companion can be a bit of a mixed blessing.

Tonight’s Episode: “Supper of Three and Afternoon of Two“

The gold smuggling scheme has worked out in our protagonists favour, so is it time to celebrate? But Holo does not feel well with Nora the Sherpherdess and exposes her weak side. But Lawrence knows how to get her out of her sick bed. Holo reminisces and is pampered. Nora brings relief.

Tonight’s Episode: “A Lady Out of Place“

At the Court of the Lord of the Yatagarasu, the Golden Raven, the four consorts jockey for position with the Crown Prince. Into this political arena arrives the naive and ignorant Lady Asebi, second daughter of the Eastern House. Though she may have an ally in Princess Fujinami. Elsewhere Yukiya seeks justice against visiting Court ravens.

Go! Go! Loser Ranger! (“Sentai Daishikkaku”)

Thirteen years ago, the Villainous Army of Evil attempted to invade Earth, faced by the Super Sentai squadron known as the Divine Dragon Rangers and their super weapons, the Divine Tools. The evil army, however, was defeated within a year, all of its Executives wiped out, and the surviving (and almost immortal) foot soldiers have been forced ever since to reenact their defeat to the Keepers in front of a crowd of spectators every Sunday. Until one foot soldier rebels.

Tonight’s Episode: “The Soldier With Love, Hibiki!“

The Dragon Keepers have a meeting along with their second-in-commands where Red reveals his Divine Artifact was stolen. His second-in-command argues that he should hand the title of Red Keeper to him, but Red beats him to death.
