I thought one of the reasons zeta was great is being one of the first dark-themed animes (by killing people off), and the later shows kind of follow suit? I dunno what the standard of pacing was back then, but maybe being episodic is desirable to keep first timers and once-in-a-while watchers interested. Dont take my word for it tho; zeta is the only old anime that I've ever watched XD;
One of the reasons I love zeta is because of the suits. Zeta's design was beautiful, and Titans Mk-II is still on the top of my fave list X)
