Belle POWA Movie Outing

Location: Event Cinemas Innaloo
Date: January 22nd
Time: 1:50PM

POWA is off to the cinemas once again for one of the biggest anime events of the year – Mamoru Hosoda’s digital retelling of Beauty and the Beast, ‘Belle’!

The movie starts at 1:50pm at Event Cinemas Innaloo, 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. This will be a screening in the original Japanese subtitled version.

Movie Synopsis:
“Suzu is a 17-year-old high school student living in a rural village with her father. For years she has only been a shadow of herself. One day, she enters “U,” a virtual world of 5 billion members on the Internet. There, she is not Suzu anymore but Belle, a world-famous singer. She soon meets with a mysterious creature. Together, they embark on a journey of adventures, challenges, and love, in their quest of becoming who they truly are.”

We hope to see you there!

Screenings

POWA Screening, 23rd January 2022

Location: Joondalup Library, Upstairs Meeting Room

POWA’s regular weekly screenings continue!

Last week, we rushed to vote in TWO new shows. What we ended up with is the second season of ‘Ascendance of a Bookworm’ – a POWA favourite isekai from last year in our Fantasy slot, and ‘Vivy: Fluorite Eye’s Song’ – an epic tale of an AI trying to prevent a tragic future into our Mature slot. These two fantastic new shows were backed up by club members also deciding to continue watching both ‘WorldEnd’ and ‘Kaiji: Ultimate Survivor’. This is a hell of a line-up!

One important thing to note is that with current COVID laws constantly in flux in the Perth area (plus the upcoming border opening), POWA will have to abide by whatever rules appear. Currently, we are under an indoor mask mandate for instance. Please pay attention to both the news, and our announcements to keep up to date with the form our meetings will take. And most importantly – stay safe!

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:
1:00PM – Library Doors Open
1:30PM – Fruits Basket (2019) – Episode 24 (Slice of Life/Romance/Arthouse)
2:00PM – Sleepy Princess in the Demon Castle – Episode 7 (Comedy)
2:30PM – Ascendance of a Bookworm 2nd Season – Episode 2 (Fantasy)
3:00PM – Break, voting for new Fantasy and Mature shows & raffle draw
