True, 1 episode every 2 weeks was pretty disappointing, but it's quicker pace in the story is good for the viewers! Then there's Steel Ball Run or Jonolion, which updates once a month, meaning you'd likely forget what happened last time

See but by simplifying it like that you ignore how different the episodes are while still operating within that formula. There's more going on in Kuuga than just him fighting a monster.

I used to pretend Gaim was just "Kouta gets depressed about something->stops being depressed->hits somebody with a sword" for 47 episodes but obviously there's more to it than that.

And I won't argue that Amazons had smooth pacing. I'm in total agreement about that part. Everything moved at a good clip and its short length really does work to its benefit.
