On this week's episode of The Wonder of Anime podcast, I’m joined by the amazing Dani Chambers! It's hard to name an anime Dani hasn't been in! She played our fave girl in Ancient Magus Bride, Chise Hatori. She also starred in My Hero Academia: Heroes Rising as Maharo. Among many other roles in some of our favorites like Fruits Basket (2019), Dr. Stone, The Day I Became a God, and more. We had a great conversation regarding her journey into anime voice acting, being a weeb and also traditional theater acting. We also dive into a great conversation on Paper Mario and some Switch games. Follow Dani Chambers: Follow me: Interview recorded using Zoom Engineered & music by J-RoD at
