I don't even blame the nostalgia bait on its own, I actually think bringing in some old elements is really cool. But the show only has 12 episodes and so besides the retold OYW stuff each episode has felt really crammed in. The other universe shenanigans have to share space with the fuckery going on with Zeon, Machu and Nyaan's character development and interactions, and their relationships with Shuji and Challia and Kycilia.
I don't hate it but it definitely needed 24 episodes. Let the first 12 build up the setting (two OYW episodes, the last 10 for the clan battling and desires to leave the colony + Zeonic fuckery), then we could have had the next 12 or so set up for what's been happening now. I can see the vision they have but because of how rushed it is we barely get to meet characters like Deux or Shiiko, and the obsession over Shuji is reminiscent of the near instant obsession that Kamille and Four had with each other (which IMO is rushed).
With this and WfM I wish Bandai would just fully commit to another entire universe, complete with 50 episode series and side stories. The last entry that really tried that was SEED and it was successful. Either that or go full-SRW and straight up give us a 12 episode crossover series.
