As someone who works in digital media and editing, I can tell you a lot of reasons for trimming down stuff from source material is just to save time, keeping the stuff that is needed while getting rid of the stuff that isn't. Yeah, world-building is good, but when it completely takes the focus away from the source of the series (ie, Titans), it becomes tedious on its own. Barring the scene with Levi choking Historia forcing her to be queen, I'm much more satisfied with the anime than the manga. I felt it was able to get important story points across while still keeping the action scenes that people really watch it for, rather than 'dialogue dialogue dialogue dialogue FIGHT dialogue dialogue dialogue FIGHT etc..."

Not that I plan to watch the anime after RtS arc, but hopefully they will do the same to Marley arc, because boy was it boring rereading things we already knew while waiting for the MCs to kick butt
