I was kind of already in that zone, to be able to do it. So, I was getting back to that place and discovering where I could take the character, how far to push it one way or another. Fortunately, I had been starting to explore my deeper range a bit with some other characters. So coming up with the voice and the approach for this season was very much a collaboration between Mike McFarland and I. And in this final season, that anger is still there, but it's buried under this coldness. How did you prepare for this version of Eren? How did you get into that headspace?īryce Papenbrook: The first three seasons of the show, anger is running through everything that Eren does. Screen Rant: Bryce, Eren has never been in a darker place this season. But yeah, raising the intensity for the comedy piece was definitely strenuous on the vocal cords. Stopped for that day, went home to get vocal rest, let it recover, came back and screamed again the next day.
We got to this one moment where Eren's putting a boulder into the wall, and the scream came out and my voice just cut. Never happened recording Attack on Titan proper, which has a ridiculous amount of screams. So, I actually lost my voice recording Attack on Titan: Junior High. For Eren, it escalated his intensity, which is already insanely intense. It's just now she's not as violent.īryce Papenbrook: That show is interesting because it kind of escalated pieces of the characters. You know, like Mikasa’s stoicism and dedication to her tribe and our little group is carried over and that's still the backbone of the character. Trina Nishimura: It is the same show just tweaked, and fun and happy, and certainly the levity that we all needed in that moment. It was so much fun to get to do that little spin on it. And it was a great, it was a great way to bridge the first two seasons as well because like it was essentially the exact same world but instead of eating us, the Titans are after our lunch boxes. It was all still pretty fresh in our heads and then this goofy little offshoot comes along. I think we had maybe done a couple of convention appearances. Josh Grelle: Junior High was so great because we had just come off the tail end of the first season. I got to do Eren being angry, but I also got to get hit in the face with a ball and spin around. So, Attack on Titan: Junior High was that fun break. We all needed to come off how intense and stressful the show was. How do you voice the same character in such different situations and still make them feel like the same person?īryce Papenbrook: I think after that first season, we all needed a break.
Screen Rant: Attack on Titan is infamous for just how dark it is, however you've also voiced the same characters for things like Attack on Titan: Junior High.
ATTACK ON TITAN REVENGE BETA HOW TO KILL COLOSSAL TITAN SERIES
With the English dub of the second half of the series' final season beginning to air on February 13th, Screen Rant sat down to talk with Eren's actor Bryce Papenbrook, Mikasa's actor Trina Nishimura, and Armin's actor Josh Grelle to discuss their acting process, their thoughts on the characters, and what it means for them to say goodbye to a series that means so much to so many people. In one of the series' toughest scenes to watch, Eren even told Mikasa and Armin that he actually hated them. Times have never been tougher for Eren, Armin, and Mikasa, meaning the last half of this final season would be particularly tough on the voice actors portraying the main trio.

After nine years, Attack on Titanis coming to an end.
