As strange as it may sound. I generally love most villians in anime. In my opinion, they keep the storyline interesting and add suspense to the story. There are a lot of villians out there who are very much disliked, hated, and misunderstood. I can understand for the most part why several people may not like them. Most of them aren't meant to be

And, yes, I like good villains -- they add suspense to the show and even make the heroes look cooler (becuase if the heroes can show themselves to be more skilled than a powerful and smart villain, that's impressive)

But then again...I've always been a villian fan.

Maxwell usually gets IC, anime wise (means he has a backstabbing bastard with dumb plans-which Hellsing falls for it *eye roll*-However, some people are starting to keep him manga-wise).
Millennium doesn't get bashed as a whole, except for one single incident. Joleen does get a bad treatment for being visually spooky and killing Pip. Schrodinger used to get as bashed as Incognito until they label him a werewolf (I still say is a cat boy) so he became 'cool' (Pff, I prefer the were-feline than the were-canine, more vicious. Simple minds the lot of them, if you ask me). Max is called piggy and fat but is more of teasing/well mean because he's liked. Captain is, with Rip, the most popular (pretty people). Doc is liked as well because he's Herr Doktor (six fingers are sexy). No one cares for Alahambra, and Valentine Brothers...

But yet, for all Team Rocket's popularity, there's one member who seems to miss out on all the fan fun, and that's Bishasu the Marauder (Iron Mask Marauder, Lord Vicious the Mask, etc) from the fourth movie. Perhaps it's because of what he did to Jesse. Perhaps it's because he's a traitor. Perhaps it's because of how he wound up getting beaten (hey, Domino got defeated by a MOP BUCKET, and no one hates *her*...for that, anyway)
But I think it's mainly because the fans don't know what to do with a Rocket who's demonstratibly *evil*. Sure the Boss is a wicked SOB, but he's really only shown it in full force once, and a lot of people didn't *see* MR.
So hmm...

Anyway, that's why I love villains. Because I feel sorry for them in the end.

Took me so long to find. How was I to know that they translated the title??
I like Dilandau, myself =3. The anime one more than the manga one, but they're both rather likable (in my eyes) ^^;;

You like it so far, though? It's not a very long series but I really like it.
As for the Escaflowne manga- I'm not a big fan for obvious reasons. Van's character is such a brat, I have hard time reading it.

I love it so far =3 Please tell me its longer than those 13 episodes though... **Whimpers**
I perfer the anime myself, but I am collecting the Manga still. Van is a brat >.> I perfer angsty!Van as opposed to I'm-a-brat-and-must-have-my-way-dammit!Van. (He reminds me of Vegeta in a way, and as much as I love that kind of character, it doesn't suit Van at all...)

Dilandau Albatou makes insanity so cool. He shows his craziness well. A bit like Yagami Iori from the King of Fighters games, although Iori is misunderstood and an anti-hero. Vicious is one of those men who has an aura that pulls fans in helplessly. What I mean is, you can't figure out why you are fascinated in someone like him. You just do in an odd way...
I often become very sympathetic around the villains who had tragic pasts and at times can really relate to them, which may sound rather wacky to some. A few of these people end up being the misunderstood type. I have a large list of villains who I adore so it would obviously be too long to write the names out in one go ( ... )

Yes I too have this thought. I didn't realise Vegeta had an interesting side to him until I watched later episodes. After observing his actions, I soon understood why there were quite a few fans of this Saiyan prince.
