POWA is an anime club that meets weekly at the Joondalup Library to watch anime and meet new people of similar hobbies at 1PM Sundays.
POWA is currently assessing our current situation and making some changes to our club’s structure. Members are invited to contact the community through the “contact us” form for immediate details, and all are invited to follow us on our social networks for information as it arrises.
Location: Joondalup Library, Upstairs Meeting Room
Last week at POWA, two great things happened – in no particular order; first, POWA voted on on outgoing Mature, Horror & Thriller series “Vinland Saga: Season 2” and, perhaps reflecting the fact that the story is just going so perfectly fine, it was a vote that it passed, and POWA reached what is perhaps the narrative peak of all anime – we met the Corgi Ein in Cowboy Bebop.
This week we have at least one notable event – two, if you count there being more Corgi in Cowboy Bebop – in which our Comedy series “Handyman Saitou in Another World” reaches its final episode. Although as is typical of shows in POWAs comedy slots it does sometimes resemble more of a Drama than a pure comedy – how many times can a dog, small child, or old wizard die, anyway? – It looks like we will be sad to see it go. Still, with an empty comedy slot will come a new series for our lineup, which is always exciting!
We hope to see you there!
This week’s schedule:
1:00 – Doors Open
1:30 – Spice and Wolf: Merchant Meets the Wise Wolf – Episode 19 (Cultural & Historical)
2:00 – Handyman Saitou in Another World – Episode 12 (Comedy, Finale!)
2:30 – Frieren: Beyond Journeys End – Episode 26 (Fantasy)
3:00 – Break & Raffle
3:45 – Cowboy Bebop – Episode 3 (Action & Sports)
4:15 – Vinland Saga: Season 2 – Episode 17 (Mature, Horror & Thriller!)
Hey, did we ever tell you about that time we went to see a film about someone who was reincarnated in another world?
…If we had a nickel…
Well, this time its for an outing to see the Slime Isekai’s latest film – and lead into what appears to be the final season of the anime – in “Tears of the Azure Sea”!
We are going to be seeing the film at Event Cinemas Inalloo on Friday, 1st of May, at 9:00pm.
As always, POWA cannot guarantee seats in the cinema, so if you are late or the film is stupid popular, you might not get a ticket and a chair in the theatre. You are to feel free to purchase your ticket in advance, naturally. Similarly, if you’re late, you might have trouble finding the group and getting snacks and drinks, so we suggest everyone rock up early enough to beat the odds and meet up with the group.
What’s this one about? Well, here’s the description pinched from someone else who wrote it:
“Kaien is an undersea nation whose people worship the Water Dragon as their guardian deity. Their ancestors lived among other clans on the surface long ago, but after wandering the earth in search of a land of peace and stability, they were blessed by the Water Dragon with a kingdom free of conflict. However, that peace would not last forever. Yura, the priestess who prays to the long-dormant Water Dragon, learns that someone is plotting to invade the surface in order to wake the Water Dragon, so she takes the flute that has been passed down in her clan for generations and heads for the surface to seek aid. When she arrives, she finds herself on a resort island in the domain of Elmesia, empress of the Sorcerous Dynasty of Thalion, and she meets Rimuru and his compatriots, who are enjoying a brief vacation after concluding their Nation’s Opening Festival. Rimuru’s gang accepts Elmesia’s request to accompany Yura to Kaien so they can help, but a conspiracy is already brewing under the sea… After the Water Dragon is awakened and turmoil breaks out over the flute, Yura’s hidden power comes to light. Can Rimuru and company protect the azure sea from the approaching threat and restore peace to Kaien?”
We hope to see you there!

POWA comes back to our regular lineup with the newest addition of the schedule; the Scifi classic anime series “Cowboy Bebop”! Now that our lineup is no longer exclusively medieval-aesthetic-fantasy series, no one can complain that we have no real variety in our shows. A status which our community decided to keep in a bit of spirit, as our Fantasy series “Frieren: Beyond Journeys End” passed its final, episode 24 vote, meaning we will keep it in until its conclusion.
Well, if you still want to get something else in the lineup, this week also brings a chance to vote on Vinland Saga: Season 2, in our Mature Horror & Thriller slot, as it reaches its 16th episode this week.
The POWA Community decides, this weekend on POWA Anime Club!
We hope to see you there!
