Frazier would later start the nonprofit Voices For, a group of voice actors who released the album "Voices for Peace" and donated the money to charities including CARE and Doctors Without Borders.
"Buchigiri" Part 4.
Discussed during several interviews, the worst anime Frazier worked on was "Buchigiri" 4 for Artland, and she asked to not be credited. Due to constraints (speed and low budget), several cost-cutting measures were used, including outsourcing of cell work to Korea and reduced cell counts. Due to "Buchigiri" being so despised by staff, the storyboards were later burned at 3 a.m. in a Red Lobster parking lot.
