Like Sarah Michelle Geller's acting.

This improves. I'm hoping it's her character traits that are bothering you (and they're a bit bothersome in S1), but I find her to be brillaint once the role calls for a bit more.
Willow is adorable
Isn't she just?
They're VAMPIRES, not the undead.
Two sides, same coin.
The growling is a bit...in your face in the early seasons. It will always be there somewhat if they have their vamp faces out, but it gets more subtle.
Cordelia was in the middle of the road blinded and a UPS truck was coming right at her and it didn't even slow down; it would have run right over her had Buffy not saved her, which is ridiculous, since you could see the driver through the massive windows, and there is no way ( ... )

Yes, the first season vamp-growling is more zombie-like than it probably should be.
Like, it seems like Giles conveniently has all the information he needs about anything in his handy books, and he has the power to grab the exact right one and turn it to the exact right page when he needs it.
This will happen less and less through time, especially after season 3. They make mention of that in the commentaries, actually. Starting in season 2 though, Giles really gets new depth beyond just "exposition guy".
And who made all these prophecies, anyway?
Your guess is probably as good as mine. They're mostly convenient exposition tools (and, like Giles' convenient speeches and books, they will be featured less as time goes on).
They said that once every generation a Slayer is born.
This will be more thoroughly explained in S1E12 'Prophecy Girl' and then receives further focus in seasons 2, 3, and 7.

Yeah, weird shit's been happening in Sunnydale too long for your average bystanders to make too much of a big deal out of it. Most people just don't talk about the supernatural. They actually hit this topic a few times in season 3. And while, yes, they saw Buffy (or at least some blonde girl) stab a guy with a wooden stick, they also saw that guy turn into dust and so, presumably, they just toss it in the rationalization column. Some of the show, especially in the early seasons, requires a bit more suspension of disbelief.

(of course, I already knew he was a vampire, so that wasn't a shock)
(also, I have to keep reminding myself that this came before Twilight)
Things are looking up now. We'll see how the next episode goes.

Bangel definitely has some hints of Bedward in it. I feel like a lot of Angel's stuff is played more for subversion than for its actual value, but not everyone agrees.

=D

I quite like the next episode, but large sections of the fandom disagree with me on that.
