Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuux -The Beginning- Film outing, March 1st 2025

Event Location: Event Cinemas Innaloo

This time POWA is off to see an Animated film in the cinema, with the newest entry in the “Mobile Suit Gundam” franchise, “GQuuuuuux -The Beginning-”

Poll has been run and a time has been rather solidly chosen – we are on for a session at 4:15pm, Saturday March 1st, at Event Cinemas Innaloo. 

Here’s a short summary provided by the distributor, our friends, SugoiCo:

“Amate Yuzuriha is a high-school student living peacefully in a space colony floating in outer space. When she meets a war refugee named Nyaan, Amate is drawn into the illegal mobile suit dueling sport known as Clan Battle.

Under the entry name “Machu,” she throws herself into fierce battle day after day, piloting the GQuuuuuuX. Then an unidentified Gundam mobile suit pursued by both the space force and the police appears before her, along with its pilot, a boy named Shuji.

Now their world is about to enter a new era.”

And a further note, also provided by SugoiCo:

“The first-ever major collaboration between studio khara, the studio behind the EVANGELION Series, and SUNRISE, the historic home to the Mobile Suit Gundam animated works, brings together an all-star creative team for a groundbreaking new entry to the Gundam universe. Directed by Kazuya Tsurumaki (FLCL), with a screenplay co-written by legendary screenwriter Yoji Enokido (Revolutionary Girl Utena) and acclaimed filmmaker Hideaki Anno (EVANGELION Series), Mobile Suit Gundam GQuuuuuuX -Beginning- is a stunning visual feast that will captivate fans, both old and new.”

And a FINAL note, to also be provided by SugoiCo… two Admit x2 passes! Make sure your POWA membership is up to date, and rock up to the film on time, and have a chance to win one of the tickets!

Standard citations for the film outing apply; POWA cannot guarantee a spot in the cinema. If the film’s room is booked out, then you might miss out. If you are worried about the availability of seats, the earlier you show up the better your chances are – and you can always purchase a ticket online ahead of time. We also ask that everyone arrive early enough to do everything that needs to be done before the film starts – that is, time to find the group, organise your tickets, purchase snacks and drinks, heed the call of nature, all of it – if you show up late, we may well have moved into the cinema without you!

We hope to see you there!

POWA Screening, March 2nd, 2025

Location: Joondalup Library, Upstairs Meeting Room

Our first new series of 2025 was voted in this past screening – the historical fiction, viking filled series “Vinland Saga” now fills the Mature, Horror & Thriller slot in POWA’s lineup! So now is a very good time to join us in following the life and times of little Thorfinn and his journeys through a wartorn europe. 

If that’s not your speed, though, it’s still a good time to join us, because this week it’s time for a new Action & Sports series! Yep, we have a few shows in our lineup that are ending, and this week it’s time for us to replace our outgoing series Jujutsu Kaisen – or, maybe not. Season 2 does exist out there in the wilds of Crunchyroll.

On top of that, this week also is the final episode of Wistoria: Wand and Sword. Though we wont vote on a replacement this screening – that’s next week’s problem – it is always good to start thinking ahead for a new Scifi to replace the outgoing Fantasy series.

And, not leastly but lastly, our Cultural/Historical series “The Apothecary Diaries” reaches a milestone vote, reaching episode 16.

Yep. A lot happening to POWAs lineup right now – so maybe its a good time to check on your POWA membership and come along to have a say on what we are watching?

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 room of the Joondalup Library. Our meeting will start at the same time as the library opens – 1:00PM – and we will start watching anime 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 Love STORY!! – Episode 22 (Slice of Life/Romance)

2:00 – The Apothecary Diaries – Episode 16 (Cultural/Historical, Voting!)

POWA Screening, February 23rd, 2025

Location: Joondalup Library, Upstairs Meeting Room

For the first time in the 2025 year, it’s time for a new show! 

Last week our Mature, Horror & Thriller series “86 Part 2” parted ways with our lineup when its final episode ended, and while there are whisperings of a Season 2 in the future, we need a replacement in the present. So time to vote – if you are an active POWA member, that is!

Outside of current voting, last week our Slice of Life/Romance series My Love STORY!! Had its final vote, which it passed with all the certainty that Takeo loves Yamato. Which is very certain, for those who somehow keep missing that plot point. 

And finally, this week brings the end of our Action & Sports series, Jujutsu Kaisen. Having reached its finale in episode 24, it will soon be time to think about replacing that series as well.

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 room of the Joondalup Library. Our meeting will start at the same time as the library opens – 1:00PM – and we will start watching anime at 1:30PM, leaving you time to find the room and settle down with some drinks and snacks.

We hope to see you there!
