I see no fault with this statement. The beginning of the series is not to my liking, especially as a successor to Zeta. once the focus shifted, I found myself increasingly more interested in the series.

As for Zeta, it was a fitting and natural extension of the story established in the original program. Details such as the integration of Zeonic scientists and engineers into the ranks of the Federation influencing the designs of the newer mobile suits helped to sell that idea to me. That they essentially flipped the roles of the federation and the insurgents was welcomed. The Titans and their constant need for increasing power and control within the Federation forces proved interesting and different enough from Zeon and its function. The characters were enjoyable, most having flaws, effectively demonstrating believable growth within the context of the series.

My original watching was spread over a couple of months, allowing me the opportunity to not experience the density of the series within a short amount of time.
