September 5, 2014 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Andrew Hamlin Northwest Asian Weekly Hiroyuki Okiura’s anime feature “A Letter to Momo” was seven years in the making, including the story, script, and storyboarding.

“Patema Inverted”

September 5, 2014 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Andrew Hamlin Northwest Asian Weekly Yasuhiro Yoshiura’s “Patema Inverted,” an anime feature originally formatted as an original net animation in four sections, gives us a plaintive young heroine.

September 5, 2014 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Daria Kroupoderova For Northwest Asian Weekly When I started interning at the NW Asian Weekly, I knew I would at some point be put in a situation where I felt like an outsider. Being a white female and covering Asian news is really not a big deal, but being a white female who doesn’t […]

VOICES FROM THE YOUTH: Embracing the arts instead of expectations

September 4, 2014 By Northwest Asian Weekly

VOICES FROM THE YOUTH: Empowerment through entertainment

September 4, 2014 By Northwest Asian Weekly

By Clarissa Fe O’Francia SYLP In movies, Asian Americans are portrayed either as the brainiac nerd or the token kung fu- knowing henchman. Is that who we are in real life? Of course not.
