To all our members and readers, the UWAnime Committee would like to follow the will of Steins;Gate and wish you all a Merry Kurisumasu~!
See you all in the new year~!
Whether you completed the Amagami Challenge, spent the day as a dragon for a certain Taiga of yours, or continued to count the days until the new Season started; we hope you didn’t spend too much money on gifts, and can survive as a poor university student until the new year!
Just in time for Kurisumasu, ryuu_zer0 and I, with special guest Minami (A regular in our IRC channel) are proud to present the first of many Anime season previews! Continue reading to find out our recommendations for the Winter 2011/2 season.

Today I present a very special surprise to all UWAnime, and affiliate members. Yes, that’s right, the “special surprise” mentioned in this post has finally come to fruition!
We have 10 in-season double passes to give away for the Perth Screening of Arrietty (Other names it has been known by are: The Borrower’s Arrietty, and Karigurashi no Arrietty). Prizes are courtesy of the good folks at Madman Entertainment, who are also responsible for bringing this movie to the big screen! Be sure to check out their page for all your anime needs!
Even if you don't win, you should go see this film anyway.

About the Movie
This is a story of a family of “little” people.
Beneath the floorboards of a sprawling mansion set in a magical,
overgrown garden in the suburbs of Tokyo, tiny 14-year-old Arrietty
lives with her equally tiny parents. The house is occupied by two old
ladies, who are absolutely unaware of the existence of their miniature
tenants. Arrietty and her family live by “borrowing.” Everything they
have, they borrow or make from the things they have borrowed.
Essentials like gas, water and food. Tables, chairs, cooking utensils.
And treats – a sugar cube here, a scrap of material there. But only a
little each time, so the ladies do not notice. A 12-year-old boy, Sho,
moves into the mansion while he waits for urgent medical treatment in
the city. Arrietty’s parents have always warned her: “Never let humans
see you.” Once seen, little people always have to move on. But the
adventurous Arrietty doesn’t listen, and Sho discovers her.The two begin to confide in each other and, before long, a friendship
begins to blossom…
Trailer link.
Arrietty will be screening at Luna Leederville, Luna SX, Hoyts Carousel and Event Cinemas Innaloo from January 12 2012 (session times and locations subject to change). Check out a full list of cinema locations and session time links here.

You can [not] miss the evolution of UWAnime.
The UWAnime Clubroom
In the earliest battles against the monstrous Angels void left by the old committee, young Pilots President Brian and Vice President Adam were forced to carry UWAnime’s hopes on their shoulders. Now with the deadly onslaught of NERV SOC changes escalating, and the apocalyptic Third Impact disorganisation looming, Brian and Adam find their burden shared by two experienced committee members Treasurer Asuka Chen and Secretary Vivian. Manouvering the new Ordinary Committee Members: Alwyn, Brendan, Edmond, Enura, Hive, Jack, Udara, and the twins; Leo and Don, these brave souls fight desperately to make UWAnime bigger and better than ever before!
“Astounding. Tremendous. Staggering. Jaw-Dropping. Dare I Say… GENIUS?”

_______________________________
Greetings, and welcome to the UWAnime website edition 2.0. Founded in way back in the year 2000 by a group of university students that were really bored wanted to help spread anime; Uwanime has grown to be a club with a thriving clubroom atmosphere, fortnightly screening events, and other major events including marathons, quiz nights, karaoke, spring feast, and gaming tournaments.
UWAnime is like one big happy family ( ¬‿¬)
2012 promises to be an exciting year for all members, as the committee strives to make this year more exciting than the last! Recently UWAnime has founded an IRC (Internet Relay Chat) channel on irc.rizon.net. Come join us at #uwanime to hang around and discuss the latest events, anime and more!
We have already begun to roll out changes to make 2012 a milestone in development for UWAnime. This website has been and will be undergoing huge changes in order to make it more presentable and active. Expect to see more than just events in this space as ryuu_zer0 (Enura) and I hijack and turn into our own personal blogging space discuss the latest happenings in the Anime industry and make it worth the RSS subscription!
Why yes. Yes it is.
This was initially meant to be a post just showing the awesome cleaning and reorganisation of our Clubroom (which is home to our collection of manga and dvds), but i guess it morphed into a President’s greeting. So without further ado: I would like to welcome all returning, and new members in 2012 and beyond!
I-It's not like I like this Club or anything~
