Attack on Titan has set the bar with its animation. Even during its first season, the anime showcased remarkable animation quality, both in the smoothness of the movement, and the beauty and intricacy of the art style used to render it.
Attack on Titan’s greatness is evident in its readiness to push the characters to their limits. Eren, Mikasa, and company have gone through absolute hell, and these experiences have changed them in both good and bad ways. In many ways, AoT is a war story, similar to Eighty-Six.
In Attack On Titan, Eren transforms from an irritating kid with anger and psychological issues to a calm, serious, and cool dude (with anger and more psychological issues) who’s also quite dangerous. It was so satisfying seeing Eren start to understand the world around him and getting hurt but still moving ahead.
Its rich themes and unbelievable serialized storytelling have perpetually kept audiences on the edge of their seats.
But along with top-tier animation and an engaging storyline, Attack on Titan is also glorified by fans for its stunning English voice dub, especially for Eren Yeager’s voice.
Bryce Papenbrook Portrayed Eren Yeager in Attack On Titan
The English dub of Eren Yeager‘s character is done by Bryce Papenbrook, who is a professional voice-over artist for numerous video games, cartoons, and television shows.
He is best known for his portrayals of Kirito in Sword Art Online, Inosuke Hashibira in Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba, Rin Okumura in Blue Exorcist, Rokuro Enmado in Twin Star Exorcists, Masaomi Kida in Durarara!!. But out of all of them, his voice as Eren Yeager in Attack on Titan was cherished by all.
But in a talk with Den of Geek, Papenbrook said that there is no job security in Attack on Titan.
The Voice Actor Likes His Role As Eren But Fears Losing It
When Den of Geek asked him about his first reaction when he saw Gabi shoot Eren’s head off. Papenbrook replied:
“Anddddd unemployed. That was my reaction. There’s no job security in Attack on Titan. So many characters have been killed, and killed for real. Eren has found a way to come back from moments where it didn’t look like survival was likely.”
Papenbrook also said that he liked his role as Eren so much. Eren always had this fierceness and determination that kept him moving forward.
But when he saw that scene his heart broke, thinking that there was no coming back from that. There will only the flashbacks of the role left. The series makes you think that, and it’s done it more than once.
In fact, in episode five everything really got interesting. For a lot of characters, it’s truly over when something like that happens to them. But particularly in that scene, he really thought that it was the end for Eren and his performance as Eren.
