You're in the right path Wishing4Hope! Bangel is an extraordinary relationship between a strong girl and a cursed vamipire. Even though I was huge Spuffy at one time (when I saw the later seasons) and I really didn't like Bangel because I was for Team Spike, I'm different now and I like Bangel alot like I did when I first saw the show and I like Spuffy too but not as much because I ship Sprusilla.
P.S. W4H, don't fall into the anti-bangel trap like I did because it wasn't fun lol.
