POWA is an anime club that meets weekly at the Joondalup Library to watch anime and meet new people of similar hobbies at 1PM Sundays.
POWA is currently assessing our current situation and making some changes to our club’s structure. Members are invited to contact the community through the “contact us” form for immediate details, and all are invited to follow us on our social networks for information as it arrises.
Location: Joondalup Library, Upstairs Meeting Room
Does anyone else remember when POWA used to do anime, or has it been too long?
After a bit of a diversion-slash-distraction through some sidequests for a particularly shiny cup (guarded by a series of absurdist encounters with everything from a Rabbit to a man named… Tim?) and a weekend off for the Evolve Pop-Culture Expo, POWA is back to its regular schedule of anime this week.
Well – some of it at least. Last time we did a regular screening, we actually reached some finales – our “Slice of Life/Romance” series “Restaurant to Another World” and our continuing “Fantasy” series “Frieren: Beyond Journeys End” both colluded and decided that there was just too many elves and demons in our lineup, and reached their conclusions.
Which means this week we got some voting to do! We are looking to replace both series with a new “Comedy” series and a new “Scifi” series! So, come along and vote!
We hope to see you there!

Hello Everybody!
Just to be a reminder (or notice, if this is your first time learning this), but POWA will not be screening this weekend on the 13th.
POWA will, instead, be attending the Evolve Pop Culture Expo in the Cannington Showgrounds on both the 12th and 13th – so no anime for us.
If you are attending the expo, please swing by and say “Hi!” and tell us about your travels around the expo – but otherwise, dont go heading off to our usual spot and expect to find anime!
We will be screening again on the 20th of September, though!
We hope to see you there!

Yeah, Nah, Yeah. This is happening.
So, its Fathers Day weekend this weekend and, like before on various days where we think people might want to not feel like they’re missing out on POWA, we’re not doing our normal lineup of Anime.
But instead of just another lazy day, I’m making good on my threats of a Monty Python night with a fan-favourite of fathers and old people (like me) everywhere!
That’s right, we are going to be watching the 1975 comedy classic (Some would say masterpiece; I call it a classic masterpiece) “Monty Python and the Holy Grail!”
King Arthur (King of the Britons, and not a woman, nor a welshman with a chip on his shoulder) sets off across the sunny English countryside in a quest from god: Find the Holy Grail. There’s a wizard, there’s some very rude frenchmen, there’s grand armies, and there’s even talk of a terrifying beast (With big sharp teeth!) all in the King’s path.
It’s a silly place.
Now, the film is just over an hour and a half long, so if you wish to you can skip the film and show up afterwards – we will have a few hours left in the day where we can play some board games, hang out and do the usual lazy stuff… but of course, the entire point of a lazy day is that you don’t need to feel like you need to rock up at all!
A more personal note; If you have not seen this film, I personally suggest you give it a go. It is a film that is quite foundational for a lot of comedy, and would go on to influence and be referenced in media up to this current day. It is, however, an older film and sometimes the Python’s brand of humour and jokes, in many of their works, can come across as poorly aged, perhaps. Holy Grail is rated PG, however, and of all their works is (surprisingly) the most family friendly. But it is still an old comedy; some jokes and language could offend more modern sensibilities.
And, by the way, there wont be a shop or raffle on offer this week: Lazy! Day!
We hope to see you there!
