Sentenced To Be A Hero came to dramatic end after episode 12, and what a finale it was. To help us celebrate all things anime, as well as the hit series that really was a dark horse throughout Crunchyroll’s slate, we were given a very special opportunity.
We sat down with English dub voice actors Emi Lo and Dawn M. Bennett to discuss the series, the process of voice acting, and how anime has developed into the phenomena that it is today. It was an absolute delight talking to them both and we’re thrilled to bring you this very exclusive interview.
If you have been sleeping on Sentenced To Be A Hero, we highly recommend adding it to your ever-growing watch list. You won’t regret it.
