Trimming the article down by cutting otherwise "unneeded material" is clearly not as effective anymore at this point. That idea leaves everything into almost a single editor's perspective, leaving it completely opinionated on what's good and what's not. There are a couple reasons why this might not work.
 * We can't rely on just removed what one might call useless material because that could easily start edit wars. Some people might think that same bit of information is important and instantly revert it. this'll undoubtedly start an argument in the talk page, and after a while one side'll lose and still leaves a lot more work to be done.


 * It's also important to remember that this series is 8 years strong. It's going to be hard to breakdown and determine what's meaty and whats fat. The common practice, that's been long standing on this and any other ani-manga wiki, is that "they do it and we document it". That's what most editors are used to and they'll keep doing it.
