Yeah, it's a polarizing show. I think the cartoony designs are just too goofy for some viewers and that makes the typical storyline (stripped of it's wacky elements, Ex-Aid is a mishmash of earlier shows - at least so far) perhaps easier to recognize and dismiss. My other oldtaku pal isn't outright "I hate it!" but the silliness is a hurdle.

Nah, this is a new fan all pumped up on recently finishing Gaim. I think some folks, even here, just expect a more "serious" look to Kamen Rider. To me, given the retro 90's video game / VR concept, it all makes sense. I think the show could use a boost of stakes and intensity to make the designs "not matter" - like Gaim, really! I love Ex-Aid and think it's headed in the right direction.

Also it's a little scary their main translator somehow failed to pick up on Graphite's Gashat being the Proto version when it's made crystal clear what's going on. I'm honestly sad to hear people aren't enjoying Ex-Aid at this point. It doesn't really seem like a show that should be as polarizing as Ghost is. I feel like it's already massively improved since the early episodes, too.

No kidding. I guess that takes care of the obligatory "the lead has bad characterization!" complaint I fail to understand year after year. I was almost thinking I wouldn't hear it for once.

The bad news here is I can't imagine people who don't enjoy the show bringing their A-game subbing it, and I feel bad for people watching the show with their subs. The good news is that if any of you have ever wondered what it feels like being me when people complain about Ghost, you can just go to the TVN forum's Ex-Aid threads and get the same experience.

Eh, I don't hate TV-Nihon - I really like their 'extra-mile' approach when it comes to design (I know many don't), but they could use some tightening up. I don't know how they're translating, but it may be various people not actually watching the show (I understand some groups actually hire their translators) - maybe someone who is could edit after receiving the script? I dunno. If they don't actually like the show, they're not going to work too hard at accuracy, I'm sure.

This was actually the first thought I had when I read about this: "Huh so that’s how Fish Sandwich felt when Ghost was airing"

Well, the main difference being there isn't really a haven of Ghost love (at least, not that that I know of). It's almost universally loathed. Ex-Aid's reception seems to be mostly positive with a vocal minority that don't like it which, from what I can tell, seems pretty par for the course with "good" Kamen Rider series.
