The Pacific was certainly more focused on the psychological torment aspect of the individual characters throughout the war, which was very different than the "bond" and "brotherhood" narrative in BoB. This made it seem slower as it surrounded the 3 main characters, and not a whole unit. Personally, I thoroughly enjoyed The Pacific because it wasn't just BoB in the Pacific theatre.
Yeah I remember when Tom Hanks was interviewed about The Pacific he mentioned how it was a conscious choice to make sure there wasn't a "glory of war" feel to it. They wanted to document how horrible and unglorified it really was.

The Pacific captured the feel of the war in that region perfectly.
There was no glory in the fighting, no liberation of cities...just death...and the next island.
With BOB you had a group of guys who were freeing europe so the bond was tighter....
