POWA Fall Seasonal Preview, 27th October, 2024

Location: Joondalup Library, Upstairs Meeting Room

Let’s end the POWA Committee of 2023/2024 with a bang by bringing the latest releases from Japan to you, the POWA Community!

A bumper crop of anime is coming out for the Fall 2024 season, and weve selected a number of the new series to screen at this nights event. Which ones, precisely, we are keeping a little quiet, but you are likely to guess a few from the murmurings around the anime community… and from the above image.

And, for the final time of this POWA Committee, the anime doesn’t stop with the screening in person – the “After Party” will be held on our POWA Discord to get across even more shows – mostly those in the various “Jails” that make up the release websites. If you want to join in on the After Party, join our Discord – you can find links on our Website’s “About” page!

The schedule for the shows to be screened at the After Party will be made available at the conclusion of the in-person event, allowing people a chance to get their streaming services active again, as well as allowing people to pick-and-choose what shows that want to hit.

Finally, an important reminder: This is the final screening of the POWA 2023/2024 committee. Meaning that the week after this will be POWA’s AGM and Election. Details for everything that entails can be found in its own event on our various socials, but it does bear repeating that this means nominations for Committee are now in their final week. Please read those events for all the details!

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 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 Screening, 20th October, 2024

Location: Joondalup Library, Upstairs Meeting Room

Though the tenure of the current POWA Committee approaches its end, the anime does not!

Except for “Psycho-Pass season 2”, which ended last week… and for our Sci-fi series, “DECA-DENCE”, which ends this week? Those technically have ended or are soon to end.

But beside those, as a whole, the anime continues! Continuing, particularly, is something that our Action & Sports series “Jujutsu Kaisen” does, as it passed the test of its episode 12 vote last week. This week also has a vote – the first – for our Cultural/Historical series “The Apothecary Diaries”

In addition to anime continuing, we have a new one starting – this week also brings voting on a new Mature, Horror & Thriller series to fill the slot of the concluded Psycho-Pass season 2. Remember, of course, that all voting and the like is a right reserved solely to POWA members, so make sure that your membership is up to date.

Important news, now: POWA’s AGM is scheduled for Sunday, 3rd November! As always with our AGMs, on top of our regular look back on the year, POWA will be holding its Committee Election. If you are interested in running for Committee in the 2024/2025 year, then send an email to us at Powaclub@gmail.com – or if you want more information on what being on Committee entails, contact the POWA committee in any way you deem suitable – facebook, Discord, email, instagram or in person all work very 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 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.

EVENT CANCELLED: Bocchi the Rock! Recap Part 1 & 2 Film outing, 18th October, 2024

PELASE NOTE THAT THIS EVENT HAS BEEN CANCELLED.

EVENT CINEMAS HAS REMOVED THE SCHEDULED SCREENING FROM THEIR WEBSITE. AS SUCH, WE CANNOT ATTEND THE MOVIE.

SINCE ITS NOT HAPPENING. APPARENTLY.

The original event follows.

Event Location: Event Cinemas Innaloo

Off to the cinema once last time for this POWA Committee, with a screening of the filmatically dubious but quite lengthy regardless double feature of “Bocchi The Rock! Recap” Part 1 and Part 2.

Though a poll, a time was decided; this time we are hitting the 6:00pm screening at Event Cinemas Innaloo on Friday, October 18th.

We wont have any passes for anyone this time around, though the time is noted to be a super-saver session.

Now, as always, though the film starts at 6:00pm, we as that all those interested ensure they arrive with enough time to get in order – to find the group, purchase your tickets, and visit the candy bar for all one requires/can afford.

And, of course, POWA is completely unable to guarantee a spot in the theatre! Yes, if you show up tardy enough and the film is popular enough, you may find yourself without a spot to plant yourself for the film. If this is of concern to you, you can pre-purchase your tickets, or simply arrive just that little bit earlier to reserve your spot… otherwise, you may simply have to miss out.

“BOCCHI THE ROCK! tells the story of young rocker Hitori Gotoh, also known as “Bocchi-chan,” a middle schooler struggling with social anxiety. Amid her silence and solitude, she picks up a guitar and discovers that she is talented, but despite spending hours practicing and uploading popular videos of herself performing, her dreams of joining a band and making friends never materialize. The thought of reaching out to strangers makes her nervous, and instead, the awkward Hitori isolates herself even more, accepting her fate of solitude. Until one day, she meets Nijika Ijichi, the drummer for Kessoku Band, who encourages her to change her tune and helps her overcome her deep social anxiety!”

We hope to see you there!
