POWA AGM & Committee Election, 16th November, 2025

Please Note: This is not a regular screening open to the public! This is a closed door meeting for POWA Membership only. If you have not got POWA membership and would like to attend, please inform us prior to the meeting so we can be ready to make you a member before we start! If you are not a member, but still wish to attend, you may ask a committee member for permission – though you will still not be permitted to speak, discuss, vote or raise topics during the meeting or election. There will be no entertainment during this meeting!

POWA reaches the end of its 2024/2025 committee year this weekend. As such, it’s back to our own little polls for the chance for the POWA membership to decide on the running committee for the 2025/2026 year!

Before we get to that, though, POWA will be holding the 2025 Annual General Meeting. 

This will be much like a greater length quarterly General Meeting with a general focus on major activities, events and milestones for the club, as well as a general catch up on everything from club relationships to our finances.

The agenda for this GM can be viewed on this link.

Towards the end of the AGM, we will also be hosting our election.

If you are interested in nominating yourself for the POWA committee, there are a few steps you need to do; First, ensure you have active POWA membership, and second, email us your name and a clear statement of intent to be on the POWA committee at POWAClub@gmail.com.

There will be an opportunity for you to self-nominate on the day, prior to the election, but there may be additional steps for you to take if you do so.

If you wish to vote at this meeting, but are unable to attend, you may nominate a proxy on your behalf. This will need to be done in writing at least 24 hours prior to the AGM and Election, but they will be able to act on your behalf during the AGM and the Election.

If you are nominated for the committee, but are unable to attend, please inform the POWA committee as soon as practical, so we may take additional measures to ensure a fair election.

If you have any further questions, concerns or wish to raise a point or feedback for this meeting, please feel free to reach out to POWA on any of our contacts.

This meeting will be recorded both in writing and audio formats. You attending this meeting is assumed permission; if you do not wish to be recorded at this meeting, do not attend this meeting.

We hope to see you there!

POWA At Evolve 2025 – Best Anime for a Video Game results

Thank you to every single person who came by POWA’s table at Evolve this year.

As is tradition, POWA asks the Perth public one very simple question; which of these things is the best? Perth hasn’t disappointed us so far with the answer, and continued to not do so this year.

This year the question was “Which of these very carefully selected games has the best anime?” After much humming-and-hawing from everyone who came by (We are sure), the coins were counted, and the results tallied.

Well, with a citation. With Pokémon in the running, it shouldn’t have been too much surprise to see it absolutely dominate the vote – so, really, the question was answered by day 1. To keep the overall vote more interesting, Pokémon was nominated as the clear winner… and promptly removed from the running on day 2. In spite of this fact, it still managed to rank very well overall, which just goes to show the sheer Quality of Pokémon as a franchise.

In any case, here are the tallied results of every show/game from our vote!


#1: Ace Attorney, with 69 votes
#2: Pokémon, with 63 votes
#3: UmaMusume: Pretty Derby, with 51 votes
#4: Danganronpa, with 49 votes
#5: Persona 5: The Animation, with 44 votes
#6: Clannad, with 43 votes
#7: Cyberpunk Edgerunners, with 34 votes
#8: Disgaea, with 16 votes
#9: Arknights: Prelude to Dawn, with 10 votes
#10: Valkyria Chronicles, with 9 votes
#11: Atelier Ryza: Ever Darkness & The Secret Hideout, with 8 votes
#12: Blazblue: Alter Memory, with 7 votes


The results of this poll will be enshrined, forever, on our polls page here, alongside all of POWA’s previous character votes.

Finally, a note regarding our upcoming events; POWA is on break over the Fathers Day weekend, but we will be screening our regular lineup at our regular location and times starting on Sunday, the 14th of September.

We hope to see you there!
