Well, hello.

Hahaha, I watched Angel before I had ever watched Buffy. It was introduced to me by a friend... who was a guy. He always said Angel was for the guys and Buffy for the girls... aaand now I'm pretty sure I just insulted myself. : erm :

I'm not sure I agree completely with your friend's opinion on the matter, but two scenes come to mind for me when I think about this. The first is in BtVS when Xander in s6(or was it s5?) is talking about something pretty much guy oriented and all the girls look puzzled, he goes and say 'I really need to have some guy friends', lol.

And then the other scene is in Angel season 5 when they're under an illusion and Angel explains to them his plan and they all lift their hands. It reminds you that both Cordy and Fred are dead, the team pretty much lacking a feminine side(I don't count Illyria because after all she isn't a human).

So if your friend mean't there's more girls on BtVS and more guys on AtS, then i'd agree.

I think both BtVS and Ats are great. 🙂

If you love Spillyria, I recommend you this thread then. :blush:

I think my preference for Angel is availability and familiarity, perhaps.

I read ATF and own the Angel series on DVD. Plus, my two absolute favorite characters from both shows are Fred and Doyle, thus I am biased.

Recently, while trying to get friends into the shows, I have had more success with guys watching Angel than Buffy. But that is only my experience.


By the way! Thanks MinwaraYana for the link to the Spillyria thread! 😀 :santa2:
