Anime Boston held the premiere of Attack on Titan in dub form to a packed audience and it was timed with the announcement of the last piece of casting with who would play Eren Jaeger. With Bryce Papenbrook taking on the role, there was quite a lot of applause. Papenbrook has some of the bigger shows of the last couple of years in his resume with lead work in both Blue Exorcist and Sword Art Online and this will only cement things further. A new trailer has been released which has an introduction with him as well, which you can see below.
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. From the director of Death Note and High School of the Dead comes the series Anime News Network calls “an intense, visceral, and graphic thrill ride.” The Titans have come to feast. Anything can happen. No one is safe.
