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.
POWA sends out a call to all members this coming weekend as we discuss the state and situation of the club.
The meeting is held online, via Discord, starting at 12:30pm this coming Saturday.
We ask that all members who are free to join us do so this time around, as there is some information that we would like to get across as many of you as possible.
The agenda for this meeting can be found here, though we do state that it is possible that we may change or edit the agenda over the next few days if something arises.
This meeting will be held via our Discord, online, from the comfort of your own homes/cars/public transport of choice. You will not need a microphone to join the meeting, but it will make you audible if you have questions to raise – though you may also type questions into the chat.
If you have a question you want answered at the GM, but are unable to attend the GM, you may either raise a proxy to ask it for you or send it to us in writing – use the contact us form on our website, email us or message us on discord – and it will be answered without you there.
While only active members will have the right to raise questions, speak, and vote on any motions raised at this meeting, we are also explicitly inviting non-members of our community to listen in on this meeting.
If your membership has expired, but want to participate as a full member of this meeting, you can contact the POWA committee via our contact-us form or messaging us directly, and we will try to organise membership for you prior to the meeting.
We hope to see you there!

Hey, look, its Autumn. Or Spring, if you live anywhere that isnt the top bit of the planet. Regardless of the interpretation of the seasons, though, we do have more anime to watch!
Now ive spent the better part of the last ten seconds trying to think of a “Which Hat/Witch Hat” joke, but instead, you just get me saying that we are probably going to be watching the Witch Hat anime. But there’s other anime there, as well! Probably. Quite likely.
Uhh, yeah – Seasonal preview. Heck yeah!
Do note this event will be free, so only bring cash if you wanna get amongst the snacks and drinks we have on offer. Up to you.
We hope to see you there!

The club? POWA. The Location? Event Cinemas Innaloo. The Time? 4:00pm, Saturday, 25th April. The Blossom? Last.
There are like, 20 films out in the first half of this year, it seems. That means more outings, this time, we are seeing a film from the creatives behind the very well received anime series ODD TAXI, in “The Last Blossom.” Better yet, for our POWA members, we are offering a chance to slip in for free, as the excellent people at SugoiCo have offered POWA two “Admit 2” passes for our community’s use!
Naturally, all our standard warnings and tips apply; POWA cannot guarantee seats in the cinema, so if you are unlucky or late, you might not get a ticket at all from the box office. If you are particularly worried, feel free to purchase your ticket in advance. Similarly, if you’re late, you might have trouble finding the group and getting snacks and drinks. Long story short? Show up early! Use our discord to coordinate finding the group, talk about the film in advance of the screening and chat during the film itself, if you so desire!
Now, for the films description and a trailer.
““What a pathetic life.”
Akutsu, an elderly inmate serving life in prison, is on the verge of a lonely death in his solitary cell. The voice mocking him belongs to a balsam flower with an uncanny ability to talk. Through their ‘conversation,’ Akutsu begins to reflect on his past.
1987, summer. In a town by the sea, down-and-out yakuza Akutsu moves into a shabby apartment found for him by his sworn brother, Tsutsumi. Out in the yard, a balsam flower grows. Akutsu shares his new home with Nana, a woman six years his junior, and her newborn son Kensuke. From their veranda, they watch a massive fireworks display. The three of them live happily, until Akutsu suddenly finds himself in need of a huge sum of money, which leads him to join Tsutsumi in an attempt to rob their own organization’s safe of 300 million yen…
“You gotta hit a dead end to get a chance to turn it around.”
This is the tale of one man’s life, and the ones he loves.”
We hope to see you there!
