It's just boring. I find the series running it's paces each week with a checkbook to make sure they get everything. Donut gag? Check. Gate who doesn't take the fact that there's a monster intent on killing them after them? Check. Make sure the Gate is as assholish as possible until the very last second to redeem them? Check. A brief plot exposition scene with Medusa, Wiseman, or Gremlin? Check.

There are twists. There are turns. There are moments where the plot gets interesting. But for the most part, it feels like I'm watching the same 2 episodes, but with a madgab-esque replacement for who and what.

Perhaps I have the complete wrong idea because I've been watching for 30 weeks, as opposed to a few days, so certain events seem a lot more drawn out and tired, but that's just generally how I feel.
I am going to finish Wizard, however. Dropping it at this point seems to be a waste.

I will admit the series is very repetitive but then again it's Toku, pretty much all Toku is repetitive and I find that if you don't love the characters, it's painful to watch in anything other than short bursts.

At least Haruto and Beast have a lot of different Powers to at least mix things up, even if they are basically mixing it up the same way every week.

The story focused episodes aren't repetitive though, since they widen Wizard's mythology and pencil in backstories, everyone has had a really interesting story so far and I really like the world and mythos of Wizard. But I'm a big fan of Urban Fantasy in general.
