Haha, that seems to be a popular feeling — concern with pacing. Every time I’ve read the original material before watching it in movie form, I feel as if the pacing is at least a little awkward, but whenever I ask someone who hasn’t read the source, they always say that it followed fine.

Unlike you I’ve read all of the manga (but I haven’t seen the anime), but very much like you I enjoyed this quite thoroughly – for all the reasons you gave.
