The anime is a little better. The 104th Training Corps arc was Episode 3 and 4 instead of being a flashback after the battle of Trost like in the manga. But it still does it. Eren's gone all of Episode 7-8 and then it flashes back to show how he survived (though that one's not too bad and other series might have done it).

Episode 19 is more indulgent with its flashback. Everyone's running through the forest from the Female Titan and we take a flashback to Eren training with the Special Operations Squad and having his accidental transformation and then bonds with the squad. Barely anything happens in the present day in that episode. They're just riding on their horses right up until the end when the Female Titan is captured. The rest is flashback.

Episode 26 opens with Erwin getting a message, and then we flashback hours before to Mike and the trainees learning about the Titans in Wall Rose.

The Battle of Utgard (Episode 28-30) was flashback heavy. Episode 28 ended with the arrival of the Titans, 29 jumped back a few hours to before the Titans arrived and then caught up with the present, and 30 had a flashback to Christa and Ymir's training days.

There may be others, but those are the ones I can think of.

Chances are the anime will keep a lot of the manga flashbacks, but they may put some in chronological order if they think it will work better.
