POWA Year-End Screening, 10th December 2023

After another anime-filled year, it’s time for the final screening of the POWA year!

In the interest of not making the current line-up of shows so awkward – that is, to avoid voting in three new series and then not watching them for weeks over the break – this week’s schedule is even more different than the last.

Since we had a triple length feature to finish off Astra Lost in Space last weekend, this week is going to – in addition to Super Cub (Up for its first vote!) and Trigun – bring us an episode of a mystery anime, as decided by the fairest method of all: A Wheelspin. Don’t worry – it will be something we all, as a community, agreed upon as being among the best anime of POWA’s history.

Furthermore, to end the final screening of 2023, a more relaxed atmosphere to end the night will be the plan. Opening with the old POWA tradition of Pass-The-Parcel, the last part of the night will be left to our own devices; a few board games will be present and you are encouraged to bring some of your own along.

While this is POWA’s last screening of the year, POWA will return in 2024 on January 21st, back at the Joondalup Library.

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.

This week’s schedule:

1:00 – Doors Open

1:30 – Super Cub – Episode 4 (Slice of Life/Romance, Voting)

2:00 – Trigun – Episode 22 (Sci-fi)

2:30 – A Mystery to us all!

3:00 – Pass the Parcel

3:15 – Games and Chilling

4:45 – End of screening

We hope to see you there!

Godzilla Minus One Film Outing, 2nd December 2023.

POWA is off to the movies to see nothing less than the king of monsters himself, Godzilla, on the big screen in his first Japanese appearance since ‘Shin-Godzilla’ in 2016, in Godzilla Minus One.

The outing time and location was chosen by the POWA community, and the polled result landed on Saturday, the 2nd of December, 3:45pm, Innaloo Event Cinema.

For this outing, the film’s distributor Sugoi.co has generously offered 2x Admit 2 passes, meaning that – on a first come, first served basis – your entry may be free.

As we cannot book ahead, we cannot guarantee seats in the cinema. Please ensure that you arrive early enough to purchase a seat, snacks and orient yourselves!

This screening of the film will be in its original Japanese, with English Subtitles.

“In postwar Japan, a new terror rises; Godzilla. Will the devastated people be able to survive… let alone fight back?”

We hope to see you there!

POWA Screening, 3rd December 2023

POWA enters the last month of 2023 with a somewhat adjusted schedule!

Last week saw both the end of Irina: The Vampire Cosmonaut and, in addition, Basilisk did not survive its vote. This, naturally, results in a pretty large gap in our line-up.

Instead of voting in new shows only to promptly go on break and not watch them for several weeks, we thought it would be more interesting to end the POWA year with a pair of screenings with a modified schedule. This week, in particular, rather than split the double-length Astra: Lost in Space episode across the Christmas break, we thought it best to watch all the remaining episodes this side of the New Year.

So, this week will be a triple-length dosage of Astra Lost in Space, on top of our other regular shows! Please double check the unusual schedule below to understand what we are talking about.

POWA’s final screening of the year will be on December 10th, but POWA will return in 2024 on January 21st.

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.

This Week’s schedule:

1:00 – Doors Open

1:30 – Super Cub – Episode 3 (Slice of Life/Romance)

2:00 – Trigun – Episode 21 (Sci-fi)

2:30 – Astra Lost in Space – Episode 11 (Action)

3:00 – Break and Raffle

3:45 – Astra Lost in Space – Episode 12 (Final, Double Length, Episode!)

We hope to see you there!
