POWA Anime Club Joondalup WA

POWA’s back with another look at anime currently airing in Japan!

Six brand new shows from the winter 2023 anime season. The perfect time to check out POWA while seeing the highs and lows of the season. What will you be watching?

We’ll continue the fun on our Discord server in a post-screening after-party, with watchalongs for shows that we couldn’t get to in the screening. Check out POWA’s Discord here.

On our Discord, we’ll be holding our first quarterly General Meeting of 2023 the day before this screening. Any members interested in the running of the club and future plans and events should join the Discord chat room we set up for Saturday, 28th January at 3PM. Please contact a Committee member if you would like to know more about this process.

Our screening this past Sunday, January 22nd 2023 received a lower than expected turnout, so we did not watch our regularly scheduled lineup. So if you missed out on this screening, you did not actually miss out on any shows! While this coming week is our Seasonal Preview for Winter 2023, the week after will resume with the schedule initially proposed for January 22nd 2023. Event link here

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.

POWA Screening and SGM, 22nd January 2023

Location: Joondalup Library, Upstairs Meeting Room

POWA’s regular weekly screenings continue with our second screening of 2023!

There was a good turnout for our first week back, so thank you to all guests and members as we continued our exciting lineup of anime. We started 2023 with a heavy round of voting on four shows. All shows survived the vote so they will continue as is.

After our screening this Sunday, January 22nd 2023, POWA will hold a Special General Meeting in order to vote for or against a set of proposed amendments to the POWA Constitution. You must be an active POWA member to attend the meeting and vote in the motion, so be sure to check your membership is up to date before the end of the screening event.

Events

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime The Movie: Scarlet Bond – Outing

Location: Event Cinemas Innaloo
Date: Saturday January 21
Time: 7:00PM – 9:00PM

POWA is going to the cinemas to see the first film of the popular Isekai anime series That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime. This film has an original story, so prior viewing isn’t necessary.

You can watch the TV anime series all on Crunchyroll, with a season 3 scheduled to air in the near future. So it might be worth checking out what makes this series so beloved and popular.

The movie starts at 7PM, but as we cannot book ahead, we cannot guarantee seats in the cinema. Ensure that you arrive early enough to purchase your tickets at the counter so you don’t end up disappointed.

Movie Synopsis:
A long-running conspiracy is swirling over a mysterious power known as “Queen” in Raja, a small country west of Tempest. When a slime who evolved into a Demon Lord named Rimuru Tempest crosses paths with Hiiro, a survivor of the Ogre race, an incredible adventure packed with new characters begins.

We hope to see you there!
