At 7:00PM Eastern tonight, Funimation announced that they received an update from the Attack on Titan anime licensor regarding the show’s subtitled simulcasts. Subtitled streams will launch on Sundays at 9:45PM Eastern (6:45PM Pacific) on FunimationNow, effective on May 26.
On May 23, the publisher announced that streams for the subtitled version would be delayed until Wednesdays. In a blog post, they stated that, for the past two weeks, the latest episode of Attack on Titan was leaked ahead of its intended air date by sublicensees in two different territories, which led to the delays.
Attack on Titan Season 3, Part 2 started airing on April 28.
Tetsuro Araki (Death Note, High School of the Dead, Attack on Titan Season 1) returned as chief director for the project, while Masashi Koizuka is reprising his role as director at Wit Studio. Kyoji Asano (Psycho-Pass) returned as character designer, while Yasuko Kobayashi (JoJo’s Bizarre Adventure, Shakugan no Shana) is reprising her duty on series composition.
Funimation currently streams Attack on Titan on their FunimationNow platform. They describe it as:
The battle to retake Wall Maria begins now! With Eren’s new hardening ability, the Scouts are confident they can seal the wall and take back Shiganshina District. If they succeed, Eren can finally unlock the secrets of the basement—and the world. But danger lies in wait as Reiner, Bertholdt, and the Beast Titan have plans of their own. Could this be humanity’s final battle for survival?
