As we get closer to the premiere of the dubbed version of Attack on Titan on Toonami, the marketing machine is going to gear up a bit more. The latest bit to get the push is the new 90 second trailer for the Toonami broadcast with a greater look at the dub and some of the narration for it that’s designed to build up the tone and feeling of the series. With a strong simulcast and fanbase out there, strong manga sales, the debut of the novels and spinoffs and the debut of the anime itself in bilingual form on DVD and Blu-ray coming one June 3rd, the series is set to make its debut on May 3rd, 2014 at 11:30 pm, joining other FUNimation series in the block with Space Dandy, One Piece, Black Lagoon and Fullmetal Alchemist Brotherhood.

Check out the announcement bumper that appeared last night below with actor and ADR director Mike McFarland.

Plot concept: When the man-eating giants called Titans first appeared, humans retreated behind massive walls. After a hundred years of safety, a colossal-sized Titan smashes through the defenses, unleashing a flood of giants and carnage in the streets. Eren Jaeger watches helplessly as one of the creatures devours his mother. He vows to kill every Titan walking the earth. Eren and his surviving friends enlist to fight against the insatiable monsters. The future looks bleak, but there’s more to Eren than meets the eye: he may be humanity s last hope against extinction. From the director of Death Note and High School of the Dead comes the series Anime News Network calls an intense, visceral, and graphic thrill ride. The Titans have come to feast. Anything can happen. No one is safe.
