Ahah, I actually feel you on many points you're making. The soundtrack I have also mentioned, but the direction also feels off at times. It is a different director after all, I guess. Although some choices I actually welcomed, Ymir's backstory and a short scene with Marco were cool, I'm hearing that was Isayama's doing too though.

I suppose I feel more for the characters than you do and I was actually into the flashbacks, I mean, I guess it's a nice thing they tried to give Sasha/Conny more spotlight and with Ymir/Historia becoming important, their backstories and interactions were nice enough to follow, although I was getting a little annoyed that the two of them kept talking about the same stuff and making the same points for good four episodes, and honestly, I never understood Ymir's final decision as I felt it was contradictory to everything she's been shown to do this season... However, the focus on these characters was still welcome, because I also didn't want watch Eren scream for 12 episodes straight. Thank god for some development in his fight against the Armored.

Lol, Bakugo. As an anime-only, I just can't understand how this guy actually wins HeroAca's character popularity polls. Like how? Is there a super awesome development that he gets later in the manga? And I tried really hard to like him. But let me just say that the most recent episode will either make you laugh or piss you off. Probably the latter.

Yeah, it's a bummer the series didn't get a full adaption, but for what the movie is worth, I think they've done a good job delivering the message. Although I watched the movie first and then read the manga, so perhaps my view is a little different. It could've been a greater disaster though.
