No Screening this Saturday, 6th December 2025

No JAFWA screening until Saturday 13^th December 2025!

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, and try not to be fazed by the onset of Summer. Take this time to find and hopefully enjoy some of this thing called “Life” (sticky and organic as it is).
If all else fails, the local cinema listings and you may find an anime movie or two. “Jujutsu Kaisen” start on Thursday, and Luna Leederville has the Mamoru Hosoda Retrospective on Tuesdays.

But the most JAFWA-related event this week is the Bunnings Sausage Sizzle we will be running this Saturday down at Bunnings Cannington.

Next week as our December will be the end of year irregular screening. We only have one item left to program in.

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.
