She grew up watching anime series like Cardcaptor Sakura and Super Doll Licca-chan, as well as being exposed to the Zoids franchise through her brother.{{cite web|url=https://akiba-souken.com/article/36401/|title=「ロボットのシェイプ、湾曲はくるものがあります！」TVアニメ「RELEASE THE SPYCE」でアニメ初主演の安齋由香里の魅力に迫るインタビュー後編！|date=October 6, 2018|language=ja|access-date=December 31, 2018}} She took an interest in voice acting while in elementary school when, as part of a class presentation, she had a part in a historical play. So she could familiarize herself with the voice acting profession, her brother loaned her a DVD of the series Magical Girl Lyrical Nanoha A's, and she was influenced by the acting and singing of voice actress Nana Mizuki. Watching the series motivated Anzai to pursue a voice acting career. To hone skills, she also listened to roles voiced by Sanae Kobayashi, Aoi Yūki, and Kana Hanazawa. She also spent eight months studying abroad in New Zealand.{{cite web |title=TVアニメ『リリスパ』で初主演！安齋由香里が『アニメディア11月号』新人連動企画「お前は誰だ？」に登場！【インタビュー】 |url=https://cho-animedia.jp/article/2019/01/08/10058.html |website=Cho!
