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.

Admittedly, even I don't think Ghost is top ten material for how much I like it, but what I'm getting at is that when someone says something is the "best", they usually just mean it's their favorite. You can't take it at face value too much.

Sure, I guess, but can someone elaborate on that? The best I can think of is that the special effects were really weak sometimes, but now we have weak CG giant monsters and flying watermelons so I wouldn't consider that much of a difference.

Apparently I'm not immune to making broad generalizations either. I do remember a lot of people being outright dismissive of it at the time (including before it even aired!), which is a real shame.

Exactly. It does what it needs to. Kouta's parting words to Micchi made me genuinely emotional, and by that point I hated Kouta and thought Mitsuzane had been horribly mishandled, so to get a reaction like that of me, the episode must have been doing something right.
