I have a lot! In order of release...
First off, as a random Showa thing, the Kamen Rider ZX movie definitely needed more buildup. The opening minute or so just tells you in narration who the lead character is, and how he ended up becoming a Rider. This would work if this was a movie for an existing TV show, so it's like a brief summary to get newcomers up to date, but this could've EASILY just been the first, I dunno, 20 minutes of the movie. As is, it feels like I walked into the middle of a movie and am being told what happened so far. I dunno, just seemed like an odd writing choice.
With Ryuki I would want to alter the monsters a bit so that the only ones are the Contract Monsters, since the regular ones in the show kind of feel like an afterthought. The monster-of-the-week trope could still be applied by making a Contract Monster of some Rider go on a rampage, feeding on humans. The big reveal is who the monster belongs to.
With Faiz I'd remove all the love triangles and unnecessary rivalry and miscommunication and-- y'know, just rewrite the show entirely. But seriously, I can't put it any other way. The lead character has a great personality and progression as the show goes on, but almost everything else about the show is iffy. Inoue is not my favorite writer, something you'll learn about me. XD
Rewrite ending of Hibiki. Just, fix that ending, guys. It takes a detour from the somewhat consistent theme of "Work hard to pursue your dreams" and ends up with "Well, you might not always get what you want, so... have a Plan B?" - In some way it sounds like it makes for a nice twist, but knowing the production side, it was not clever writing, it was messy writing. Decade's Hibiki, of all things, was closer to a better ending.
Kiva's a rough one. I don't like the protagonist's personality and all, but I understand if that's just me. I kind of want to take his shy, meek personality and make him more of a brooding artist. He's lonely, and shuts himself off from the world because he's tired of losing people. Similar to Faiz in that regard. A lot of the story would probably stay intact, it's just him I had issue with. I'd need to rewatch the show to remember any other things.
Decade.... On second thought, let's not go there. At this point it's best not to touch.
OOO's finale needed to be one episode longer, for sure. It felt too rushed for my liking.
Fourze could've used more consistency and (again IMO) more focus eps on the individual Kamen Rider Club members. Yuuki's personality in the Aquarius arc was cranked up to ridiculous levels when she was perfectly eccentric as is. I also felt JK's DJ persona came out of nowhere, in a sort of "We just came up with this idea on the spot" way, some foreshadowing to it earlier on would've been nicer. I like a lot about Fourze, it just needs some tightening in some areas.
Wizard could've had a much better plot for the Dragon forms, though I'm not sure what - as is, it seemed like they didn't have many creative ideas on how to introduce them all, and the use of the magic stones was largely the most uninteresting thing in the show. It all just felt too obligatory and too focused on selling toys (moreso than usual), when it had a perfectly cool story and setting it could've been building upon during that time. Taking cues from Kuuga, I'd also want the Phantoms to be successful once in a while, and have the police force actually do more useful things, like keeping Wizard alerted of any monster activity or developing artificial magic weaponry to fight Phantoms themselves, possibly so they can eventually stop relying on Wizard. I'll always say that Wizard had a lot of potential it didn't make nearly enough use of.
