No Screening this Saturday, 4th October 2025

No JAFWA screening until Saturday 11^th October 2025!

Normal Hours returning:- 5:15PM->10:45PM

Spring is definitely here in Australia. There has been an amazing environmental change in the last few weeks, and we expect it to continue
There was an annoying amount of light at the last JAFWA session, but that should be cleared up when we resume screening in October, no longer in Winter hours but instead an hour later. Who knows how long it is until we need the Sun Disactivator?

We are currently “enjoying” our regular one Saturday a month break from screening anime. So for this week prepare to chill out dear wonderful attendees. Take this time to find and hopefully enjoy some of this thing called “Life” (sticky and organic as it is).
If all else fails, try the Open Day at The Australia-Japan Society of WA (Inc) at Tuart College in Tuart Hill, this Saturday from 10AM-3PM.

If you strongly feel that JAFWA is neglecting certain well-deserving anime, please offer to sponsor a night of JAFWA and screen your favourites. If you don’t want to sponsor an entire night like both Lindsay and Elliot did previously, there is the other scheme for our signed up members. On the night nearest your birthday, as Greg and Sally did, 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 and inform us in advance please.
Note that Feb 14, 2026 is already reserved.
