Hey, did you know it’s winter in Japan?

Jealous?

Me too.

Did you also know they release anime seasonally? Well, don’t be jealous, since a bunch of the new releases are coming to our community this screening, with our Winter Seasonal Preview!

In place of our regular schedule, the newest of the medium will be filling the screen. Smol adorable demon princesses (“Smol” doesn’t get a red squiggly line under it. huh), to workplace romcoms where people are just a little bit more transparently in love than usual, and even a few shows where someone ends up in a fantasy world after dying, this season has a whole lot on offer!

And no worries about what gets left out by our limited timeslot – we’ve got a continued watchalong after POWA, on our discord. Perhaps now would be a good opportunity to join it, if youve not yet done so?

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!

And it’s time for our Jolliest day of the year!

This is the final POWA Screening of 2025, before we all take a couple weeks off for the holiday season. No worries, though, since POWA is already planning our 2026 year!

This screening is a little bit special compared to our normal screenings – but first, a recap.

Last week we saw the end of our Slice of Life/Romance series “My Roommate is a Cat!” 

And while an ending show would normally result in a new replacement, rather than start us on a brand new series and then not watch it for a month, we’ve decided to kick that proverbial can down the road and will vote on a new Comedy series in 2026. Keep an eye out for the suggestion threads after New Years! So, who’s wondering what we will be doing in its scheduled timeslot? You will, until you come to POWA, that is!

Thankfully for our lineups continuity, our Mature, Horror & Thriller series “Vinland Saga” passed its first vote – we continue with it into the new year. Whether or not we continue our Action & Sports series “The Red Ranger Becomes an Adventurer in Another World”, which is a very long title to type) is up to the POWA members this week, as it reaches its first vote on Episode 4.

Finally, it is worth pointing out that our online presence won’t disappear over the break – our Discord is still active, and (barring the holidays themselves), our Going Home Club will continue, and the chatrooms will be open. Maybe jump into the chat and see who you can make the most jealous about your holiday season?

POWA will be back in January 2026! Keep your eyes peeled on our Website, our Facebook and our Discord for that information as it arises!

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, and have a very merry holiday and a happy new year!

Massive thanks to all those who came to last weekend’s AGM and Election! While the new Committee gets a grip on things and while POWA winds down for the final screening of this year, it’s time for a (little bit delayed) preview of what’s airing this season in the world of Anime!

From post-apocalyptic motorcycle exploration to an exiled princess with a penchant for punching people, there is always a bit of variety to be seen. There’s even a few Isekai!
