FUNimation is setting up to have a very popular title out for sale throughout the summer convention season as today they’ve announced a June 3rd, 2014 release date for the first half of Attack on Titan. The series is coming in both a standard DVD/BD combo form as well as a limited edition form. No details are available at the moment in regards to what will be on the releases, but the standard edition is priced at $49.98, which makes it lower than the usual price point for a new show, and the limited edition is priced at $89.98. The limited edition is limited to just 7,500 copies, which is more than most of the recent limited editions they’ve produced which have been around 2,500 copies. But it’s obvious that this release will definitely sell a whole lot more for many months to come.

Plot concept: When the man-eating giants called Titans first appeared, humans retreated behind massive walls. After a hundred years of safety, a colossal-sized Titan smashes through the defenses, unleashing a flood of giants and carnage in the streets. Eren Jaeger watches helplessly as one of the creatures devours his mother. He vows to kill every Titan walking the earth. Eren and his surviving friends enlist to fight against the insatiable monsters. The future looks bleak, but there’s more to Eren than meets the eye: he may be humanity’s last hope against extinction.
