First of all, the entire anime industry isn't going to take some drastic turn towards exclusively 100+ episode series overnight and you just missed it. The works you're talking about spanned a decent amount of time, for one, and also, you've got to put a little effort into an anime to get anything out of it. If you want a decent storyline, you're usually going to need to see 9+ episodes before you feel like you've seen something "good." Exceptions to that include Ah! My Goddess (5 episodes), a few other shorts, and many full length movies. The point is, watch a series and you'll feel like you're watching something worthwhile. Anime generally doesn't deliver cheap, one-time, never-look-back entertainment like Hollywood here.
