Bryn Apprill, voice of Christa Lenz/Historia Reiss, and Elizabeth Maxwell, voice of Ymir, discussed a number of topics ranging from what they do to get into character, their take on Christa and Ymir’s relationship, and more! She went further to praise Attack on Titan‘s treatment of female characters in a space where they’re often objectified for fan service purposes, stating that one of her favorite aspect about the show has been its ability to tell a great story and have “successfully strayed away from sexualizing anyone – not only Ymir and Historia’s relationship, but also Mikasa as the heroine.” Her co-star Apprill concurred, adding that she was “excited to see that some of the strongest fighters are women.” She went on describing how pleased she was by the anime’s way of normalizing the homosexual relationship in an industry where LGBTQ relationships are practically invisible. “It isn’t the ‘unicorn’ that these relationships sometimes ends up being for some shows,” she said. “I think we will be seeing this a lot more in the future, possibly even pretty soon as we have already seen a few shows these past couple years with similar relationships.” Attack on Titan season 3 is expected to be released in July 2018.
