A live anime voice acting experience for kids who can't sit still. What if your child could step inside an anime? Kids (and their grown-ups) play games, create sound effects, try character voices. You can dub real indie anime scenes live on stage. Created and hosted by Tokyo-based voice actor Soness Stevens Kitano, the former English voice of Hello Kitty (1999–2024). ★★★★★"One of the BEST kids shows at Fringe!" Clara Reviews. No anime knowledge required. Participation is encouraged, never required.★★★★★ “A positive environment... without rules or criticism of what's allowed.”

August 12, 2026  One4Review | | | From the off, you realise Anime-Zing Kids! is a Fringe kids show with a difference. From the incredibly catchy opening singalong, this is something for all ages and immediately feels like a laboratory of invention.To begin with, you’re in the hands of two professional guides who know the anime game inside out. Jesse Moss has worked for Nickelodeon’s Are You Afraid of the Dark?, while Soness Stevens Kitano has been the English voice of Hello Kitty for 25 years. They take the kids through creating voices, dubbing live anime and generally ruling the roost.Today’s anime was Wheels & Roses by Pearl Low, and the kids are all over this, interacting, creating the script, voices and sound effects. There’s no hiding place for the parents either, who get dragged on stage to do the voices. Everyone is treated with respect, making it a safe space for neurodivergent kids.A lovely touch is the support of a local comic strip by Tanya Roberts, which the kids give real gusto to and breathe life into. Fringe fare that is similar means the adults can leave the kids alone, but not this one. Here, adults are part of the process rather than just being in monitoring mode.And back to the kids, because really it’s all about them. They are completely on point, asking questions, taking no prisoners and throwing themselves into all challenges. I didn’t see one kid not engaged.This is a genuinely lovely hour of colour and noise, and a great escape from the madness outside.Anime-zing indeed! Click Here |
