Events – Page 2 – POWA Anime Club Joondalup WA

The latest film from the director of films like “Summer Wars” and “Belle”, Mamoru Hosoda, is coming to cinema! POWA was polled, and a time and space chosen:

Hoyts Cinema Warwick, and the 6:30pm session this coming Friday, the 6th of February.

It has been a while since POWA has attended an outing to the Warwick Cinema, so make sure you double check your route and don’t get lost!

Do remember that POWA cannot promise that there will be seats available in the cinema for this session, so it is recommended that if you are concerned, you either show up early to get your ticket or book one in advance. It is also recommended that you show up to the cinema early enough to find the group, buy your ticket and get whatever snack bar accoutrements you need to equip yourself with before the film starts – no one is going to be waiting for you outside if you’re late!

Naturally, there will almost certainly be people organising meeting up or discussing the film on Discord before and during the event – so keep an eye on that if you want to get in on the topics!

“A medieval princess on a quest to avenge her father’s death awakens in a realm between life and death, where she encounters an idealistic young man from the present day who shows her the possibility of a future free of bitterness and rage.”

We hope to see you there!

POWA Winter Seasonal Preview, February 1st, 2026

Location: Joondalup Library, Upstairs Meeting Room

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!

POWA Christmas Screening, 14th December, 2025

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!

We hope to see you there, and have a very merry holiday and a happy new year!

1:00 – Doors Open
