I'm probably gonna have a little bit of trouble when Season 4 happens. It's sad to see the end, but I'm so grateful for the ride. Being able to portray the English voice of Mikasa over the years has been an absolute thrill and delight. And now that it's ending, I'm just incredibly grateful for all of the experiences. I've literally traveled the world and met so many amazing fans and friends and people, that I cannot possibly imagine what my life would be like without this show. The actor that plays Eren, Bryce Papenbrook, has become one of my closest friends. There has been so much that the show has given to me as a person. TN: Now that it's in its final season, it's a little bittersweet. How does it feel now that the show is in its final season? RELATED: Attack on Titan Manga Reportedly Set for Full-Color ReprintsĪttack on Titan first aired in 2013, and I imagine it’s been a significant aspect of both your lives since then. And I see that continuing on to Season 4 even though I'm a little behind on the story. Cause it's not a comedy – it's so bleak! So Hange is needed for so many things.
Going into Season 4, I expect Hange to have even more answers and really be that beacon of light and comedic edge, you know, that the show desperately needs. And so that's not the same thing as actually watching the episode, so I'm actually kind of behind, but the character has stayed consistent – Hange's crazy, Hange's smarts, Hange's planning and strategizing. Of course, you saw it." No, I only saw my actual lines and whenever Hange was speaking. It's kind of a weird thing to understand, because it's like, "Well, you've dubbed Season 3. But then for Season 3, I wanted to be completely surprised. And then, of course, the cast for the dub happened and everything, and I had already seen Season 1 and then I would watch every episode for Season 2 before we recorded because I wanted to know what was going on. I watched the subtitled version, the original, obviously, when it first came out. When I started watching the show – and that's a much longer story – I was like, "Oh my gosh, I hope I get to audition for that character because that character is amazing!" And as far as going into Season 4, I'm actually a little bit behind on the show. The character is wonderfully, wildly complicated and super, super smart and seems to just be, you know, an amazing strategist and educator. My first impression of her was just wonderful and pure love. JC: Oh my God, my first impression of the magnificent Hange. So knowing that there are quite a few battles left, and quite a bit of change coming, I'm really looking forward to seeing how the new, more emotionally in-tune Mikasa continues to be a fierce warrior. However, when there is a battle to be fought, she definitely comes through. She's definitely not as guarded as she was. In a lot of ways, she has changed a lot emotionally over the past seasons. And she has her devotion in that moment, and her relationship with Eren in that initial scene remains the same.
TN: My first impression I ever had of Mikasa was the very opening scene of the show. RELATED: Attack on Titan Drops First Teaser for the Final SeasonĬBR: Can you tell us a bit about your first impressions of the characters you play – Mikasa and Hange? Do those impressions differ at all from how you see them going into Season 4? CBR spoke to Trina and Jessica about their thoughts on the season, Attack on Titan's tendency to kill main characters and voice acting during a global pandemic. The cast for Attack on Titan's English dub has been assembled to play their characters for a final time, including Trina Nishimura as Mikasa Ackerman and Jessica Calvello as Hange Zoë. The fate of the Survey Corps, Titan Shifters, Paradis and humanity itself will be decided in a season that promises to be even darker and more action-packed than its predecessors.
The series follows the surviving members of the Survey Corps as they struggle against a world that's much more vast than they ever knew – and regards the people of Paradis Island as its enemy.
Attack on Titan's fourth and final season, premiering December 6th, is one of the most highly anticipated anime of 2020.
