Events – Page 2 – POWA Anime Club Joondalup WA

Less than a month to our AGM and what looks likely to be POWA’s last major event before the new committee – our AMV Spectacular!

Thanks to everyone submitting what is surely only the highest quality music set to anime (Or is it anime set to music?) We are able to bring to everyone some distilled musical experiences, this week, located entirely within our break period!

While everyone gets to look forward to that, we also do non-musical anime things!

Biggest news of last week is our new Cultural & Historical series “Spice and Wolf: Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf” – the remake slash reboot of the series first seen in the succinctly titled “Spice and Wolf” from 2006. And, while we were at it, we also had our second vote on our Fantasy series “Friren: Beyond Journeys End” when we finished its 8th episode – and, since it passed, it is continuing in our lineup!

This week has something ending, though – our Mature, Horror & Thriller series “Vinland Saga” reaches its final, 24th episode. I’m sure it’s going to be a happy sunny smiley conclusion for everyone involved! Right? Well, we are also voting on our currently ongoing Slice of Life/Romance series “My Roommate is a Cat”, so if that grimdark series isn’t floating your boat, now will be your chance to have a word with it.

POWA’s AGM and Election is scheduled for the 16th of November.

The committee year of 2024/2025 is fast approaching its final screenings and it is time for our scheduled AGM and Election. While the full details for that meeting will be posted in its own event, it is worth jotting down the day of the AGM and Election in your calendars.

We are also nominations for those who are interested to be on the POWA Committee. In order for your nomination to count, you are required to email us at POWAClub@gmail.com with your name and clearly and unambiguously state your intention to run for the POWA Committee. For those who are interested, but unsure of just what being on the POWA Committee looks like, you may also contact the committee by that email, our socials or in person for any questions you might have.

Entry for our weekly screenings is $4 for members and $5 for guests – However, your first time is free! Every entry prior to our break receives a raffle ticket for a weekly prize. We will be in the upstairs meeting rooms of the City of Joondalup Library. Our doors will open at the same time as the library – 1:00PM – and we will start screening at 1:30PM, leaving you time to find the room and settle down with some drinks and snacks.

We hope to see you there!

This week’s schedule:

1:00 – Doors Open

1:30 – My Roommate is a Cat! – Episode 8 (Slice of Life/Romance, Voting!)

2:00 – The Elusive Samurai – Episode 11 (Action & Sports)

POWA Board Games Day, 11th October, 2025

Location: Joondalup Library, Ground Floor Meeting Room

Time again for some board games!

Much like last time, back in August, it’s time for another board games day. Located in the ground-floor meeting rooms, and starting at 9:30am on Saturday, the 11th, the day before our regular POWA Screening, POWA invites all of the community to bring their favourite games of cardboard to the group with the intent of sharing in the dice-rolling, card-flipping, manual-rules-lawyering goodness that is your board games!

Like last time, this board games day will be something of a free-for-all – bring whatever board games you have, and see what people feel like playing…

…But this time, we are also absolutely threatening everyone with the promise to get as many people as possible playing more involved, longer-session boardgames. If youve got something that really isnt just a throw-down-and-play game that you just are desperate to get someone on board with, why not bring it – or better yet, get a discussion going on the POWA Discord?

Entry to this event will be free. POWA will also not be selling food or drink at this event – while the library does offer water bubblers and have vending machines, if you seek something a bit more tasty or filling, feel free to run for lunch!

Finally, POWA’s screening for the weekend – on the 12th – will still run, so those who think that their weekends simply don’t have enough POWA will finally learn that there can be too much POWA. Or still not enough. Up to you.

We hope to see you there!

POWA Screening, 14th September, 2025

Location: Joondalup Library, Upstairs Meeting Room

Have a nice break over Evolve Expo and Fathers Day weekends? Well, regardless of your answer, POWA is back anyway!

It’s been a hot couple of minutes, so to remind everyone where we are at – Last time we screened at POWA, we continued our newest series in our lineup – “My Roommate is a Cat” – and voted on one of our ongoing series for the last time; our Drama series, “Bartender: Glass of God”. Rest assured, it wasn’t the last because it got voted out, rather, because it was its episode 8 vote – and it survived this vote in any case!

Otherwise, we continue our lineup unimpeded this week, with only one show up for vote. This time, it’s our Fantasy series “Frieren: Beyond Journey’s End”, which has made it to its first, Episode 4, vote. So, now is the time to check if your membership is still good!

If it’s not, why not buy in, or renew? Since POWA wasn’t offering our discounted memberships at Evolve this year, we have decided to extend that offer to the first two screenings after the expo. Rather than the normal $10 for a year of membership, we will offer our discounted price.

We hope to see you there!

This week’s schedule:

1:00 – Doors Open

1:30 – Bartender: The Glass of God – Episode 9 (Drama)

2:00 – My Roommate is a Cat! – Episode 3 (Slice of Life/Romance)

2:30 – The Elusive Samurai – Episode 6 (Action & Sports)

3:00 – Break & Raffle!

3:45 – Frieren: Beyond Journeys End – Episode 4 (Fantasy, Voting!)

4:15 – Vinland Saga – Episode 19 (Mature, Horror & Thriller)
