Problem is Bosch lives in Cali. Although he has actually worked with Funimation before and is the kind of guy who would go out to do a voice for a character he really liked if he got the part. That and Mercer being involved with this make me really question just who they could get. Nonetheless they sure are building up Eren's VA like mad, so I'm expecting something surprising.

I have no idea what Vic is doing ever, so he's possible. Like with Johnny, I at least know he's almost never not doing voice work in California except one occasion. I don't ever know with Vic because he is very on and off between being a Cali VA and a Funimation one.

Also here's the last list of the cast.

Reiner – Robert McCollum
Annie – Lauren Landa
Armin – Josh Grelle
Samuel – Dave Trosko
Thomas – Duncan Brannan
Tom – Tyler Walker
Wald – Barry Yandell
Woerman – Christopher R. Sabat

I guess Eren is really gonna be our big reveal, I am seriously curious about who they got for him. Also they got Sabat to voice the dude who screams a ton, that's great.

The voices sound okay but all the dialogue snippets so far have very clunky phrasing, even in parts where they don't need to match frames.

Yeah, it's all been super awkward. I can't tell if I'm just being a "the original voices are always better!" anime nerd or if these are really as cringeworthy as they feel like.

Huh, seems they went metric with the titan classifications in the dub. More European I guess.

No one man should have all that Psycho-Power.

Is there a release date set for the part 2 of the blu-ray? I know they released Jormungand sets 1&2 on the same day and I am kind of hoping they will for Titan as well.

Omni-directional mobility gear is fine, it's basically the same concept. I prefer 3D Maneuver myself as it's easier to say, but whatever. Also no they have not announced Eren yet, presumably we'll know when the airing happens at Anime Boston.

Might as well post it here as well: anime reviewer JesuOtaku has put up a big character analysis video of the main characters. It's mostly just the anime stuff, but it does go into manga spoilers after 28:10. Recommended viewing!

Lol.

Also I just assumed they'd say "three-dee-em-gee" instead of saying the whole thing.
My personal favorite dub name that the thread suggested for it was "shooty-mczip-zip"

Its just way longer and clunkier than 3D Maneuver Gear/3D Gear is all.

Maybe they'll shorten it to Omni-Gear when necessary, which isnt a terrible nickname.

I think the catch is that they needed something with the same amount of syllables as the Japanese name for the 3DMG, which is quite long and clunky. Mouth flaps, yo.

This could be decent. Omnitool was a common term in Mass Effect.

3d maneuver gear was an incredibly dumb name to begin with, so at least they're keeping the dub on the same level of sophistication :v:

Eren's VA has been confirmed, if you watch Adult Swim you might recognize this VA as one Kirito and Rin Okumura.

Yes, that's right it's Bryce loving Pappenbrook, the new main character voice in anime.

Well, I suppose if you have to draw an equivalent to a popular western show, TWD's about as close to AOT as you can get.

I never watched either Walking Dead nor Game of Thrones but I imagined Attack on Titan being sort of like Game of Thrones for nerds because everybody dies and it's miserable.

The voice sounds fine, but that is a terribly cut trailer. If I wasn't familiar with the show, I would have no idea what the pitch was.

It's kind of like parts of Game of Thrones. Kind of.

FUNimation really needs better trailer editors. It's the worst part of any of their panels. Not because they ARE trailers, but the presentation is often boring.

There are no answers, only pain and misery... so far.

We're all hoping the second season, or the rest of the manga, will have the answers.
