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.

I don’t know what it is about the word “August” that really tells me that we are in the last third of the year, but that’s where we land this week.
After spending the last weekend in the present world of airing anime in our Summer seasonal preview, this time we are back to our regular lineup, with our newest old new show “The Apothecary Diaries Season 2”. Maomao has a cat, and yes, they named it Maomao, because Maomao is a cat, just like how Maomao is also a cat.
As for shows without cats, apothecaries, cats named after apothecaries, and apothecaries named after the sound cats make (making the cat named after the apothecary technically named after the sound it makes, should it decide to make noise), we also had a sneaky little vote on “Restaurant to Another World” – which not only allows me to practice my spelling of that stupid, stupid word – but also since it passed the vote, we are keeping on with that series until its conclusion.
Don’t worry about my spelling lessons, though, “Apothecary” is shaping up to be another one of those words that I just refuse to spell right the first time around.
I don’t know if anyone actually reads these posts, but WordPress lets me AI generate a ‘podcast’ which will summarise a month’s worth of posts as a podcast episode. I’m really just trying to get them to say stupid stuff now.
Oh, also, week is a little bit more chill for us, with the only point of order being a vote on whether or not to drop Cowboy Bebop on episode 12.
We hope to see you there!

Despite Australia’s best attempts to freeze us all off, it is time for the Summer season of anime!
It feels like there’s a bit more variety in the shows coming out this time around, or at least, a bit more than just a standard Isekai. We have our eyes on everything from Kaiju-girl romcoms and cute-girls-doing-cute-warcrimes to steampunk alternate histories and remakes of classic scifi series this season.
So lets all get alongside what is brand new, or old-but new, or just old, but also new in this quarter’s offering of anime!
Like all our seasonal previews, this event will be free, but no raffle prize will be on offer.
We hope to see you there!

Edit, 22/07: The Agenda link was incorrectly linking to the agenda for the previous GM. It has now been updated and is correct.
It has been three months roughly since the last General Meeting, and its time for the third one in our year.
This meeting will be hosted online, like usual, via our Discord. All members are invited to join, though for those who cannot make it, the minutes and a recording will be made available to those who request. Non-members who wish to join the meeting are required to write into the POWA Committee to ask for permission, but are encouraged to do so if they so wish.
The agenda for this meeting can be found here, though be aware that it can change until the last minute as I remember things i needed to put on the agenda.
The meeting will be hosted at 3:00pm on Saturday, 25th July, and is expected to last for approximately an hour.
If you have a question you want answered at the GM, but are unable to attend the GM, you may either raise a proxy to ask it for you or send it to us in writing – use the contact us form on our website, email us or message us on discord – and it will be answered without you there.
While only active members will have the right to raise questions, speak, and vote on any motions raised at this meeting, non-members are able to find a willing member to speak on their behalf, or otherwise, you are invited to write into us anonymously via our contact us page on our website.
If your membership has expired, but want to participate as a full member of this meeting, you can contact the POWA committee via our contact-us form or messaging us directly, and we will try to organise membership for you prior to the meeting.
We hope to see you there!
