NEWS: Bryce Papenbrook to Voice Attack on Titan's Eren in English

He did a great job in DRRR!! as Masaomi, so I'm happy with this.

I vehemently disagree. Even though Masaomi was supposed to be an annoying character, the way Bryce said phrases like "Laterz, peepz" or "Bewbie-licious!" just made me want to strangle something.

Once Masaomi goes into "srs mode" in the last third, he does get better. But those first two arcs were nigh unbearable.

That having been said, Bryce was a lot better as Rin in Blue Exorcist, and even made Kirito at least somewhat tolerable to listen to. Even then, though, he has a tendency to be a terrible overactor and often uses more emphasis on certain words than he should.

He is good at playing the angry hothead, though, so I have decently high hopes for Eren.

Wait. Does Ocean still dub stuff? I saw Kirby Morrow in a Hallmark Channel movie and I practically sobbed.

They still do animated TV shows and what not in Canada. Anime nowadays, very rare. The only one that I remember being relatively frequent is the Cardfight Vanguard dub and that's not necessarily a North American dub.

I like Bryce Papenbrook and all, but doesn't it seem like he's getting a lot of leading roles lately? Rin in Blue Exorcist, Kirito in SAO, Red in Pokémon Origins, Naegi in Danganronpa...

I assume there is two sides. One side which supports the decision that he is voicing Eren, and then the side that hates it/cries nepotism.

I personally do not know much about him but I assume he is nice and not conceited like some of the VA's can be...

I know Kirby does dubbing stuff like Lego Star Wars but I don't think that comes from Ocean Studios. There must be another dubbing studio that does the dubs like MLP, etc.

Recording studio, and there are a bunch that do cartoons in Vancouver though Ocean seems to do most of the anime. But get the feeling that the days of dubbing anime in Vancouver are over [/spoiler]

Walking Dead is a gory action comic that's achieved phenomenal success in the US, outselling the superhero comics that traditionally dominate the American market.

Attack on Titan is a gory action comic that's achieved phenomenal success in Jpaan, outselling the Shonen Jump comics that traditionally dominate the Japanese market.

Pointing this out will attract some comic readers and fans of the TV series who ordinarily might not be interested in the anime or manga.

The actors in Vancouver have always been union. Can't say if it's the same in Calgary, which might explain why Blue Water's been getting all the work.

1. Walking Dead doesn't outsell superhero comics
2. Attack on Titan IS a shounen comic so it can't outsell itself. Your comparison falls apart here because at least Walking Dead isn't a superhero comic but Attack on Titan is in the same boat as One Piece, Naruto and Bleach
3. Yeah, it's clear that's the marketing point of it, but it's still a cringeworthy comparison that makes no sense if you actually start to think about it
