In an interview with Otaku News, Rial said she had to talk for two minutes straight as folks in a crowd telling the Jovians to go home.

She also voiced Lila in Najica Blitz Tactics where she also got to do a DVD commentary along with fellow actress Kira Vincent-Davis.

In an interview with Active Anime, Rial said she would "take the direct translation and write it into a coherent scene that matches the lip flaps".
