^I respectfully disagree.

While these animations are only about 1-4 minutes long, it's still essentially a story, and a story needs to have a beginning to establish the scene and give the audience a reason to get invested in what's happening. It doesn't have to be a good reason, but even a petty reason can start conflict, which is what's needed for a beginning.

Let's use the last fight as an example. Ghost Rider was doing his job to punish Lobo, so he gives chase and accidently blows up Lobo's bounty. This is all that's needed to introduce the characters to us, so it gets easier to get ourselves invested in their issue, as well as getting them in-character.

But since we don't know what happened between Weiss and Mitsuru, or Timmy and Akame, it just kind of feel something is missing. No hype was built, so we're not quite ready for the fight itself. Imagine if Kiyru briefly lost control, so the Dragonzord had to rise from the ocean and walk into the city. Even that would've been more than enough.

Now that I think about it, the missing "FIGHT" effect is what makes this issue exist at all.
