Really enjoyed this one, mostly for its production values (visually and audio wise it’s amazing), and because it is based on a classic Tomino story that’s adapted by more competent directors / writers it feels like a very polished classic Gundam story. I tend to agree it feels a little slow but I like the buildup. The only complain I have is spending so much time on a terrible character like Hathaway and making him the POV of the audience which makes it harder to connect with, but that’s a fault of the original novel I guess, and knowing the ending this isn’t necessarily a bad thing.
