I figured Reiner's head was going to get censored, because he's only partially decapitated, and the partial is because the power half of his skull is still there and the top's not! That's too graphic for TV anime. (Just like they removed Hannes's intestines in S2. There are just some things TV anime won't do.)

I'm not sure if it's just that the performance is in a different language, but the part where Jean was trying to get Sasha and Conny to own up to killing Reiner read a lot differently to me. In the manga it was pretty clear that Jean felt enormously guilty as well and was sharing in their pain, but his voice actor didn't sound like he was on the verge of breaking down.

This was a good Bert episode though. He's never really gotten his own focus episode, and this was excellent, showing him working on his own and growing a spine. It was nice seeing him snap at Armin for using the cheap Annie ploy on him again. I think when I was reading the manga that this was the chapter when I realized I really like Bert's character. It just took so long to get there.
