Sentai Filmworks brought out their release of Bloom Into You with bilingual streaming and a home video release out today. The twelve-episode series is getting a little extra attention now as HIDIVE has put out a cute little two-minute piece that invites you into the booth with Tia Ballard as she records for her character and shows you some of the things the actors do in the booth. Ballard has been working the voice actor scene since 2010 with her debut in Sekirei and has had a number of sizable roles over the years, including the long run on Fairy Tail as Happy and the new release of Bloom Into You.
