Because the bad guys were all dead, the plot was revealed, the characters decided what they had to do to save the world, there was nothing left for the characters to do but do it and end the story. Short doesn't mean abrupt.

It's textbook Aikawa schlock in the worst ways from being a 4 episode OVA based on a pornoviolence manga with no way or even attempt to accomplish anything meaningful or exciting, to there being no real identifiable characters, to the repetitiveness of main character refusing to do anything then his split personality taking over to be evil and finish the job to the weird world hating/destroying power fantasy thing that seems to be creeping below the surface of much of his work in the 80's. It's just bad.
I'm not sure why you think I'm only basing my opinion on its appearances in SRW. I've seen the OVA, read the first manga, and read everything I can find of the second manga. And I respectfully disagree with you wholeheartedly.

Yeah, the first manga seemed like it was a rather lackluster porn comic with an attempt at a plot and not-so-good mecha designs , but the OVA was leagues beyond all that. Just because it was a short 4 episodes doesn't mean it was bad.

"Poorly animated?" I haven't the slightest clue where you got that from, because Zeorymer had great animation. "Go nowhere episodes?" It went the whole way through its plot, which was simply short, not go-nowhere. Zeorymer was a brief but good title.
