Knock Out Studio

In an inner city Wellington studio a young woman brings her memories of childhood to life through anime art. Her work is definitively Manga - elfish female warrior characters with huge eyes, athletic limbs and tiny waists. Graphic artist Nani Mahal isn't Japanese, but her work looks as authentic as anything one would pick up at a Japanese Train station. Sonia Sly meets Nani and her team at Knock Out Studios in Wellington.
