It's always surprising (If not outright jarring) in a fun way to see the voice actors recite their characters' lines in live-action, mainly because they tend to not look like their characters at all.

Anyone remember when the Chowder cast ran out of their budget?

Witch Hat Atelier has the best dub I've heard in years and years. The accents are a great choice, but more impressive is that the actors totally nail them. A lot of American actors really struggle with British accents, so it's apparent that Joshua Waters and Madeleine Morris, and all the others, really worked hard at it. I mean, just in this interview, seemlessly slipping into it! (Actually, not to slight them on their own interview, but I'm actually more impressed with the actors who do regional accents, like Olruggio as a Northerner — now that is something you never see in American media!) It's so great to see! Er, hear.

Really fun interview. I'd love if you could interview Emily Fajardo, too, I'm sure her perspective as the director would be illuminating.
