POWA Screening, 16th March, 2025

Location: Joondalup Library, Upstairs Meeting Room

Last week POWA said “Hi” to a new series; we needed a filled spot in our rotating Scifi slot, and POWA picked the mind-delving murder mystery series “ID: Invaded”.

This week, we say “Bye” to yet another series – our Slice of Life/Romance series, “My Love Story!” reaches its end this week, leaving much laughter and diabetes-inducing sappyness behind… And also, an empty Comedy slot, so start thinking of replacements!

POWA also gets to decide whether or not we replace our new Mature, Horror & Thriller series, Vinland Saga, as it reaches its first vote! 

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 24 (Slice of Life/Romance, Final Episode!)

2:00 – The Apothecary Diaries – Episode 18 (Cultural/Historical) 

2:30 – Spy x Family – Episode 3 (Action & Sports)

3:00 – Break & Raffle

3:45 – ID:Invaded – Episode 2 (Sci-Fi)

4:15 – Vinland Saga – Episode 4 (Mature, Horror & Thriller, Voting!)

POWA Screening, 9th March, 2025

Location: Joondalup Library, Upstairs Meeting Room

New week, new show – let’s go!

As our Action & Sports series Jujutsu Kaisen vacated our lineup, at the last screening we had to vote in a new show to replace it. Nominations were made, minutes previewed, and arms lifted – and the winner, Spy X Family was left the champion! 

And, on top of that, our Cultural & Historical series “The Apothecary Diaries” also passes its second last vote. But while we continue with those series, we got a new one to start this week!

Our fantasy, Wistoria: Wand and Sword, finished its go in our lineup, so its time to vote in a new Sci-Fi series! Check those memberships and have a say on what we get in!

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.

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!
