Over the past 2 days I finally caught up with the new season and I think its a pretty good adaptation so far being basically a 1 V 1 recreation of the manga. Overall I prefer the first episode as the animation and editing were better than this episode. I don't have very many comments on most of this episode as it was consistent with the manga and everything that worked there translated well here due to the superb voice acting (JP) and music that the show has always done well. The fight against Reiner for me was decently animated but I felt the problem here was the editing especially the bizarre jump cuts to the CGI roof shingles rather than kinetic hits as it made the entire thing feel chaotic and unfinished. It made me wonder if they cut corners here for later fight scenes and they just decided not to animate portions of this fight to preserve the budget.
