Prepare for War! The Attack on Titan Dub trailer has been unleashed!

The biggest anime hit in recent memory has finally gotten a trailer of its english dub courtesy of Funimation and let’s just say it kicks more than a little ass.

For those not in the know, Attack on Titan (or Shingeki no Kyojin as it’s known in Japan) is an anime that premiered this past fall anime season. Based off the manga of the same name by Hajime Isayama, AoT tells the story of Eren Jaeger and his friends in the military who try to stave off the extinction of humanity due to giant humanoid creatures called “Titans” (You can read out reviews of the show HERE). The show became one the biggest hits in recent memory due to its characters, story, and amazing visuals.

Anime distributor obtained the license last year and simulcasted the series on their site during its TV run but we alwasy knew that a dub was in the works. Over the past week or so Funimation has been slowly releasing the cast information on their website, with exclusive dub clips for subscribers (although they have since released the clips on youtube).

Funimation kept fans on the edge of their seats by slowly releasing cast info, but they saved the best for Anime Boston today when they finally announced the VA for Eren (the shows main character): Bryce Papenbrook! Papenbrook has been in the industry for awhile, mostly working out of Los Angeles. He has led shows before as Rin Okumura in “Blue Exorcist” (now on Toonami) and Kirito in “Sword Art Online”.  With Eren now cast the entire cast list is as follows:
