As POWA has screened for over 10 years, numerous celebrations of our history and anime in general have taken place. Here you can find retrospectives and competitions that do just that – made by and for the community.
POWA 10th Anniversary
From February 24th to May 5th 2019, the POWA anime club celebrated 10 years of screenings with the Tournament of POWA. A series of polls were held to ask members old and new which of the 100+ shows we’ve watched captured their hearts and minds more than any other.
Year End Retrospectives
Starting in 2019, the POWA Committee have put together packages to remind members of the shows we watched in the previous year.

MAL Fantasy League (MALFANS)
Since the autumn 2019 anime season, POWA has held a seasonal competition to guess the highest-rated MyAnimeList shows of the season. Based on the idea of Fantasy Sports Leagues, each player picks a “team” of anime with the goal of getting the highest average score (weighted by the order they are picked). View the details and rules of our MAL Fantasy League here.
The following links will take you to the Google Sheets used to calculate the results. The “Scores” tab shows the final calculated scores of the participants, while the “Season” tab shows the MAL ratings the anime received at the end of the MALFAN season.
