Crunchyroll Begins Streaming Attack on Titan Anime
One of the most highly anticipated anime of year joins Crunchyroll's spring lineup
San Francisco, Calif. (April 17, 2013) – Crunchyroll, Inc., has announced a major addition to its spring simulcast lineup with the new anime ATTACK ON TITAN, which is set to broadcast every Sunday at 12:00 pm Pacific Time for its premium members. Free members will be able to view one (1) week after initial broadcast on Crunchyroll. Episodes 1 and 2 are now available for viewing at http://www.crunchyroll.com/attack-on-titan..
ATTACK ON TITAN is based on the award winning manga by Hajime Isayama and is directed by Tetsuo Araki (Black Lagoon, Death Note). The result is a must-see science fiction action adventure series that exemplifies the very best in Japanese animation.
“Many years ago, the last remnants of humanity were forced to retreat behind the towering walls of a fortified city to escape the massive, man-eating Titans that roamed the land outside their fortress. Only the heroic members of the Scouting Legion dared to stray beyond the safety of the walls – but even those brave warriors seldom returned alive. Those within the city clung to the illusion of a peaceful existence until the day that dream was shattered, and their slim chance at survival was reduced to one horrifying choice: kill – or be devoured!”
