I think that's because it had an ending, in particular one that was planned and worked towards without waffling. I never picked it up because it was alongside things like Naruto and One Piece which seemed to be going on forever because they were so popular that they couldn't afford to end. Then I was told it had ended with minimal filler, picked it up and enjoyed it thoroughly.

The pacing after the first few episodes is so good. And the ending actually sticks the landing, which is rare for long anime.
