I don't think it was the 2 episode format for Wizard, it was just that they didn't do anything for a good 20 episodes.
Like, between Phoenix's death and up until we started getting the Mages, it was just:
Gremlin messes with Medusa
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.

Plus so much of Wizard went absolutely nowhere, remember how the first Dragon form was like the whole Hollow Ichigo thing where Haruto had to like embrace the inner Phantom and let him take over? If you forgot, don't worry, I don't think they brought that up again outside of the episode it was introduced in, despite getting three other palette swaps of that form and a combo version later in the series (the combo also is some kind of McGuffin from White Wizard which raises all kinds of questions like why Haruto bothered to risk using his Phantoms power if Wizard's can just create doodads anyway).

And that is just one aspect, that doesn't mention all the character arcs that went nowhere, and all the plot left over at the end that is kinda hand waved with either the words 'science!' or 'magic!' shouted as melodramatically as the actors can muster.

I liked Wizard, I thought it was entertaining, but it was a flying mess. I can understand it from fan fiction writers, but when you're paid to write a fifty episode series, how can you have such muddled mythology and such pointless character arcs? Shouldn't you have PLANNED this shit?

Well I'm disappointed that Haruto allowing Dragon to take him over completely was out. That way Haruto would become the Dragon Phantom and take on Wiseman!

THEY NEED TO FIX THIS! GO BACK IN TIME!

[The Bladesman]

I still need to see wizard along with alot of the hesei series but i have a few changes I'd make.

Kuuga: I really enjoyed the ending at first but after reading up on the over the top power of kuuga ultimate form I'd have to say include a pre-final fight between UL-00 and ultiamate kuuga where the two can actually demonstrate that abilites but maybe have a moment where Godai is still getting used to the form or for a split secound loses himself to it and has to retreat. then move to the final fight seen in the series.

Agito: I'd keep Hojo's Victory 1 system around for more then just 2 episodes, have 3 unknown present for the agito, gills and G3-X to fight in the final battle. Beyond that I'd probably strengthen the connections in story between Agito and Kuuga, aprantly it says some where the the unknown are actually the linto from kuuga transformed by the overlord of darkness. I think that's a really interesting idea I'd try to expand and explain that by having a surviving grongi appear and get taken by the Akatsuki group or something. Maybe have the grongi fight against the unknown just out of spite.

W: Really Really minor but I'd like to see cyclone accel extreme in action maybe make it a very brief what-if story for the hyper battle video (maybe a imagined sequence from shroud?)

OOO: I think the whole every rider is a alternate universe thing should of stopped with Decade, OOO is a great show but it seemed intent contradicting the movie crossovers before megamax. I'd make some minor changes to remove those plot holes in the crossover movies and maybe have Eiji mention how he's just back from futou at the start of an episode or something.

[SPLIT LIP]

I'd shorten almost every one by six episodes minimum. That way there'd be less filler, and all the remaining content could be managed into a more compact seeries. Even W, my fav, has easily six episodes it doesn't need.

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.

[henshinzero]

Onto Kiva!

Wataru could at least put up a fight and using his dhampir abilities while in his human state. He'll unleash his dhampir when some fangire or some other creature threatens someone especially get teased/pissed at.

Kiva needs to have more arms monsters at his side besides just a werewolf, merman & frankenstein. How about a mummy, cursed samurai, a ghost & a ghoul/zombie.

As for the Checkmate Four... it needs five instead. They are missing Knight. It sucks the Horse Fangire had to be the first monster for Kiva to fight. It would've made sense for the horse to be the knight instead.

As for Kengo... if he was "Knight" of the Checkmate Four (if they'll change it to five), he'd fight alongside Wataru/Kiva instead of becoming IXA.

You know if that happened he'd come back stronger than ever, right?

Anyway, I'd change Blade so that Mutsuki's whole arc didn't take so long to properly finish.

[TokuChris]

In Fourze, I would have liked to see Kengo use the Fourze Driver. After all, he helped create it with the intention of using it, and when he finally had the opportunity to use it to see the Presenter, he gets killed by Saggiatrious or whatever. Lame.

That part annoyed me a ton. It was built up so well, and the "Next episode" previews focused on that one scene in spades to have no payoff at all.

[henshinzero]

There are things I wanna change in Fourze myself.

- Fourze & Meteor are not enough. Give a zodiarts rider in the beginning! If there was, it'll be Gamou Mitsuaki's grandson. He represents as Gentaro's opposite. Think of it this way... Gentaro & Kengo are Rokuro, Meteor is Emoto while Gamou's grandson is Gamou himself... representing all 3 astronauts their legacy.

- Change Gamou as Ophiuchus. While the zodiarts rider is Sagittarius.
