POWA Anime Club Joondalup WA

Location: Joondalup Library, Upstairs Meeting Room

After the winter seasonal preview, it’s back to our normal schedule of shows once again!

Last time we screened our normal shows we had a bunch of voting – The Apothecary Diaries, Wisteria: Wand and Sword and 86 Part 2 all had votes. Long and short of it – they all survived their vote, leaving Wistoria and 86 to continue to their conclusion in POWA’s lineup. And that’s kinda it for this week’s recap – no voting this week, nothing special, just back to our regular grind.

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.

Finally time again for a bit of a glance at what is airing in the wide world of anime right now with a selection of airing series of the Winter 2025 season! So, yes, while it might be cooler elsewhere and we can’t borrow their weather, we can certainly borrow their media.

Now, while this in person event will focus on shows that air on Crunchyroll, we are also planning an “After Party” where some of the series that didnt, or couldnt, quite make the cut at the screening will get their chance to shine. And while we keep the scheduled shows secret, as a little surprise, at the scheduled end of the screening we will announce the schedule for what gets seen. The after party will be hosted on our Discord, so its a good opportunity to join in if you have yet to do 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 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!

The first movie outing of the year is on the horizon, POWA was polled, and a date chosen. This time POWA is off to see the live-action drama adaptation of “Oshi No Ko”, in “Oshi No Ko -The Final Act-“!

Specifically, the 3:30pm Session, on Feburary 1st, at Event Cinemas Innaloo!

A synopsis provided by our friends at SugoiCo:

“Based on the hit manga series by Aka Akasaka and Mengo Yokoyari, The worldwide hit [Oshi no Ko] has finally been made into a movie! Capturing the hearts of many with its fantastical setting of reincarnation, suspenseful elements that do not shy away from shocking depictions, and its unique and innovative story that does not hesitate to delve into the complex world of showbiz. [Oshi No Ko] – The Final Act serves as both a origin and finale to the drama series streaming now on Amazon Prime Video.”

Also generously provided by our friends at SugoiCo are two “Admit 2” Passes! So if the cost of entry at a cinema is holding you back just a little, let that colour your choice making!

Now, standard housekeeping applies; While the movie is scheduled for a 3:30 start, we ask that everyone arrives with enough time beforehand to find the group, buy their tickets, but their snacks and in all ways prepare for the film BEFORE it starts. And, as always, POWA is unable to guarantee a seat in the cinema; if the tickets are sold out, then you may miss out. Perhaps pre-purchasing your ticket might be a good idea?

We hope to see you there!
