But having watched Ghost and finding some appreciation for it, I do have to agree everything that's said here.

Yeah, I think this one plays a lot differently once you've seen Ghost. It definitely felt a little... disrespectful (?), on first viewing. Like, I'm trying to say goodbye to all of my Drive friends, and now I've got this floating weirdo - and Ghost - crashing the going-away party? No thank you!

But, in the aftermath, it's like... it's like Takeru and Yurusen showed up to help Shinnosuke move? They're just seeing him off, not trying to rush him out the door. I don't know. I was a lot warmer to this thing now than I was originally.
