About what I've seen of the dub.. I like it. I like Hannes' voice, and Karla's voice is really great. However, Eren's and Armin's voices as kids were really cringeworthy. This was specially notable in the part where Hannes runs away with Mikasa and Eren and leaves Karla behind, because Jessica Cavanagh's performance was superb but the moment was totally ruined by Bryce Papenbrook's scream failure.

Yuki Kaji has the ability to sound like a kid, but you can't expect everyone to be able to twist their vocal cords like that. If the cast actor isn't able to do it, shouldn't you try an alternative? If a guy isn't able to sound like a kid, most dubbing companies often have a kid playing that role, or even a woman. That's what most latin american dubs do and it helps a lot making the series feel more natural. I'm not aware about english dubs, since this is the first english-dubbed thing I've actually watched.

About the changed lines.. well, they were ok. Some were bad while others were improvements. I can't really complain here, since translation and lip-synching is a very complicated job. I'd say I'm okay with those changes.
