Oh come on. This show is almost over and I'm fairly sure you cannot agree with Ghost having "one of the best casts and stories" on a basic level. Because it's just not true.

I can agree with someone if they point out the few good stories Ghost has, same with the characters. Alain is well handled, Akari is a good support character, and the story-arc where they first enter the Ganma World for example is well done.

But there's too much bad stuff around it in order to focus on the good things Ghost does and to call its stories and characters "one of the best". The characters are too weak overall, aside from maybe Alain, Akari and Makoto, who all have flaws still, and that's not good enough to be called one of the best. Some of the sub-plots are nice, and some arcs are not terrible, but a good story? Like overall? Absolutely not.

If you enjoy something that’s absolutely fine, and I do feel the need to point out that I don’t bear a grudge against anyone who likes Ghost, especially not KyoryuGreen or you, but enjoying someone is one thing, saying that it is good is another. I enjoyed Gaim a lot and I can very much see what people don’t like about it, instances where the show screwed up badly, but I don’t go around and try to tell people that it was all good.

And to be perfectly honest, the show might not be as bad as I think it to be, but from what I’ve gathered around the fandom it is definitely not among the best.

You’ll have to admit that Showa did a lot of stupid shit no one would get away with nowadays. That’s what people call cheesy. It may be equally ridiculous to what shows do even today but it is handled much differently.

Since when is this a fact exactly? I dig the epilogue a lot.
