Screening on the evening of Saturday, November 16^th 2024

We have seen Elliot’s sponsored night of anime, and the audience appreciation of his anime selection was overwhelmingly positive. We thank Elliot for his taste and wish him many more Happy Birthday’s.
But this week JAFWA’s returns to its regular screening, as there were a couple of cliff-hangers our loyal watchers want resolved. Though we have decided to squeeze in a preview episode due to strong interest.

Our Japanese gastrophiles are more than a little interested that the new Ginza Nana Alley Behind the Pier Street carpark and next to the Ramen shop at shop, 3, Ground Level, 100/104 Murray St, Perth WA 6000. There is even a promotional review.

Last Minute BIG news is that our good friends at Luna Cinemas, Leederville (155 Oxford Street, Leederville. 6007) are supplying us with some double passes for a preview session of the award winning anime film Ghost Cat Anzu to be screened Saturday, 23 November with a 10.30am arrival for an 11.00am film start. These double passes may be won by attending JAFWA this Saturday.
Luna merely asks of the winners that after watching the movie that you please provide: 1.concise, honest feedback on the film you’ve been invited to; 2. review lengths can vary from a sentence to a star review. 3. Additionally, please inform us of the channels where you plan to share your coverage.

This week we have a bizarre preview item, and as is common with first episodes it has a few risque moments to make it memorable. Also, the battle with the boss monsters will require two episodes of “Go! Go! Loser Ranger” to be shown.r

If you don’t want to sponsor an entire night like Lindsay or Elliot, 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. Sally has chosen November 30.
