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?

Event Afternoon before JAFWA Screening

JAFWA has the hall from about 1PM to 4:30PM, where it is make our own amusement time.

Does anyone want hall space for nerf gun battles? Bring your own ping-pong? Table top games? Does anybody have their own game machine and games they want their fellow JAFWAites to play? JAFWA will bring out the projector and screen. I am not certain we have access to the outdoor area, but we will try to keep you off the street.
In the past people have brought along video games and the hardware to play them, and sewing machines for cosplay creating. What do you want to do? Just so long as it fun, legal, ethical, and we don’t scuff the floor of the Hall.

Screening on the evening of Saturday, August 31^st 2024, after the Event Afternoon

With the ending of this last month of Winter (according to the Bureau of Meteorology) and you know what that means – it is the monthly Member’s Prize draw!
Also, we will be having quick survey during the Dinner Break to see which items are enjoyed by the membership, so please be honest and assign scalar values to your choices.

This week JAFWA doesn’t have room for any preview episodes, as we are screening a nice gentle movie set in a very interesting department store.
And we farewell “Undead Unluck”, as it comes to the end of this chapter of the story. Will more anime be forthcoming? Check our library for manga that reveals the story yet to be animated.
And we are still pained that last week “The Apothecary Diaries” finished with no clear timeline until the next season of the anime is made.

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.

Screening on the evening of Saturday, August 17^th 2024

Last week a wonderful night was had by all, and the weather was so pleasant we almost needed our Sun Disactivator.
Meanwhile the speculation is rife if the anime within-an-anime “Alice in Nerima-Land” might possibly become a real anime.

This week JAFWA starts a new regular series – the popular “Go! Go! Loser Ranger!” will be replacing “Demon Slayer”, and because we saw the preview episode barely a month ago, we will continue with episode #2 this week. And we has also managed to fit in a preview episode that involves how to deal with a (Dai-)Kaijuu attack aftermath.

For those of you who are interested, the Japanese Film Festival has gone from showing a series of Japanese movies online, to now showing TV episodes.

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.

No JAFWA screening until Saturday 10^th August 2024!

Now in the middle of Winter we are all out there enjoying life without JAFWA (if you can call such a life “enjoyable”) this week. Be aware that a bean poll last week decided that the new series starting in August is the delightfully named “‘Tis Time for Torture, Princess”. The question may now be – First item of the night or just before the Dinner Break?

Next Sunday you have the opportunity to get some Studio Ghibli goodness down at Luna Double Feature at Luna SX in Fremantle – “The Boy and the Heron” and “Spirited Away” $15, in Japanese with English subtitles.

The only other cool thing happening in the next couple of weeks is International Patlabor Day on August 10^th. Do you know where your Ingram is?

ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING before JAFWA Screening

This is it!
After announcing it since JAFWA’s return last month, it is finally upon us!

Please be advised that on the 20th of July 2024 the Japanese Animation Fans of Western Australia will be holding it’s 2024 Annual General Meeting.

The meeting will be held at the Collins Street Centre in South Perth from 2:00pm onwards. The regular screening will commence afterwards, and during the dinner break the committee election will be held. As well as a Special General Meeting.

We request that all current members attend to meet quorum requirements and to have your voices heard! Please arrive about 10 minutes early.

If you have any matters you would like to have raised at the meeting, please email them through to jafwa.anime@gmail.com. Preferably sufficiently in advance so that we can accurately prepare our response.

AGM Adenda item

Fellow JAFWA Member,

The JAFWA Board of Committee formally announces that on 20 July 2024 – the day of the JAFWA 2024 AGM – the Board will propose changes to the JAFWA Constitution and By-Laws to update how the club operates and how the Committee may operate.

The details to be discussed at the AGM are:

• Changes to the wording of section 8 of the By-Laws regarding the usage of Cheques to move monies of a value of greater than $100, and associated terminology, to be updated to include the electronic transfer of funds and associated terminology; and
• Clarification as to whom the JAFWA committee may loan monies, the terms of the amount loaned, and instances where said loans require the approval of the JAFWA Membership.

These details will be clarified at the AGM, however to ensure that we have a greater number of members available to vote, the vote will be by SGM to be held at 6:00pm during the dinner break.

Date: 20/07/2024
Time: 6:00pm
Location: Collins Street Centre South Perth

Screening on the evening of Saturday, July 20^th 2024, after the AGM

With the necessary AGM business out of the way JAFWA performs its anime screening of goodness. This week we have one more OAV episode of “Non Non Biyori nonstop” to help the passing of this slice of life anime.
Also, our first preview episode of July. Remember the old sentai shows, where 5 or so heroes are empowered as Rangers to defeat the alien overlords, their disposable minions and the monster of the week? How it would go on and on. And how after 13 years one of the disposable minions seeks to upset the status quo, by sneaking off and transforming into the most despicable monster of all…

!

Now hopefully there will be enough nominees for the JAFWA annual election to be held during the Dinner Break of our beloved JAFWA screening this week. But things are not looking promising, so the AGM is going to move for an SGM during the Dinner Break. Only signed up JAFWA members can vote in the AGM, so we will be providing voting tokens valid voters.

For those of you who are interested, the Japanese Film Festival has gone from showing a series of Japanese movies online, to now showing TV episodes.

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?
