Like, between Phoenix's death and up until we started getting the Mages, it was just:

Medusa says Wiseman
Haruto eats donut
Shunpei
Learn about a secondary character that will only appear in these 2 episodes.
End part 1.
Phantom almost breaks the important object of secondary character
Showcase latest toy
Shunpei
Mayonnaise
End with Haurto eating.

It's rather strange that, for Wizard, you could cut about 20 episodes straight (Without henpecking them, either. Just remove them altogether) and lose almost nothing of value.

Yeah that bothered me about Wizard. I also felt that it had this lack of energy to it.

For individual shows:

OOO: Drop "Lost Ankh." Or rework it so it doesn't confuse exactly how core medals work.

Ryuki: Limit Ouja to be a more infrequent character to maximize his appearences, and give him something of a personality. Not soem ham-fisted backstory, but some charrisma, some interesting character trait.

Den-O: Drop the ridiculous time-altering visuals, like when they have buildings lose their supports ten years ago, and collapse in the present. Have Ryoutaro be more of a character eariler, like him dealing with the fact he's basically a suit from Imagin to fight in, and move forward his subplot about accepting it and trying to help by physically training himself.

Agito: Cut this motherfucker in half, drop the fresh-out-of-film-school cinematography, and make Agito more than just an apathetic moron who values tomatoes more than human lives. And give Gills somethign to do besides scream and grunt.

Wizard: Have Haruto be an actual straight man, rather than just someone immune to the obnoxious comedy, have him react to it. Make the villains credible, give it a plot, give it side characters that don't annoy. Give it a better gimmick... just rework the whole damn thing.

Kabuto: Kill Tendou.

That's actually a change I would like to see in Den-O.
