No the other shows are still good here too. It's more Earth-Two or Ultimate Universe than anything. And I don't have a moustache!

Would the fact that it would have ended up being a highly unpopular/divisive series to begin with set my expectations low enough that it would inevitably surpass them?

I'm gonna go with yes. Ghost really does seem like a show best enjoyed in big chunks for whatever reasons. And it could NEVER be as bad as some people make it sound. I think Kiva was basically that for me.

In the end, at least, there's one thing I'm rather grateful about regarding Ghost, and that's that my understanding of Japanese has gotten a ton better over the past year. While not the only factor, watching Ghost raw week to week was honestly very educational and helpful. Helps that the ideas and dialogue in the show were both repetitive and relatively simple, but something is something. For...at least a few months now, it got to the point where I pretty much explicitly understood or at least got the gist of virtually everything in the raw, and just watched subs to clarify some lines and compare/contrast how I would word something vs. O-T. It's been pretty fun. I truly believe without first dipping my toes into raws with Ghost I never would have considered the idea of watching other shows that don't have subs, as I have had to do with, like Suite Precure. Which was a show I enjoyed more than Ghost itself (and taught me a fair amount, too) so...there's that. Thanks for that, Ghost.

Oh man I can SO relate to this. I did that with Ultraman X (which I really loved) and it was always so much fun. Before even that I actually watched about half of Cosmos with crappy HK subs that may as well be a raw too. Also super fun! Don't know why I haven't finished it yet! Outside of *technobabble* they're exactly as easily comprehensible as you would expect a show for small children to be.
