I would definatly say Angel because he is actually funny and interesting on his own show. He was always a bit annoying and lurky in Buffy. He was always in the shadows and did not seem to have much of a persoanallity on Buffy but on Angel he was hilarious and intresting.
 
I went for Angel, because he got more time on camera so we've been able to scratch the surface and really get to know him.
 
Yeah, I always thought the portrayal of Angelus was much more impressive on Buffy. In Angel that side of the character was used to move the storyline along whereas in Buffy it WAS the storyline which allowed for much more scope. He just seemed a lot more sinister, twisted and generally evil on BtVS.
As for Angel himself I love him on both shows equally for different reasons. In Buffy we primarily saw him as a romantic interest for Buffy which allowed us to see him deal with being IN the world for the first time in a long while, dealing with the concept of his dark past, his sweet side that Buffy brought out in him etc.
In Angel we got to see him as an individual and although he was very broody a lot of the time as always, this show allowed us to see the comedic side of him as well. It was a lot more human Angel that we saw on the spin-off whereas on Buffy, I think, we were more often reminded of the fact he was a vampire due to how much it always affected Buffy's life
 
While I loved him on both shows, he definitely was better on Angel. Although I'm a Bangel fan & love seeing them together, Angel on his own was much more interesting & fun to watch. I love watching him! A lot of my fave scenes on BtVS are when Angel is on screen.. with or without Buffy. So, him getting his own show & being able to expand on his personality & character was a real treat. *drool
 
apart from Angelus in season 2 he wasnt that important in Btvs, he was just some guy for buffy to be into, but in Ats, he got alot more interesting, he became more likable too. being out of buffys shadow done him good
 
Angel was definetly better on his own show. He had to be limited on Buffy to fit for her and show, but on Angel he had more freedom. My take on this anyways 🙂
 
In Buffy Angel was limited. He needed an own show to grow as a character, not that he didn´t evolve on Buffy. I don´t think Angel was the one who got a shown of his own because he was the most beloved character. I think they saw great potential in him, but that they had gone so far as they could with him on Buffy. But that is only my own opinion of course. It´s not like I a have a statement or something to back it up with. And it´s not like Angel was the only one who changed drasticly on that show. The same goes for Cordy and Wesley. Ok, it´s not like people didn´t change on Buffy. I just don´t think it was to the same extent, with Spike as the the obvious exception.

I don´t have a probelm with Angel in Buffy it´s just that he is way better on his own. So the conclusion is simple. Angel on Buffy = good, Angel on Angel on Angel = great. And therefore DB was better on Angel.
 
Angel really gave him a chance for character development and I think that he did wonderful on Angel. He really didn't have much time on Buffy for character development but Angel made David shine. Angel gets my vote.
 
The Angel from Buffy and the Angel from his own show felt like two different characters. Angel obviously had more of a personality on his own show and was more likeable. But I also like the Angel from Buffy too but for different reasons, cos as I said, I look at them like they are different characters.
 
I thought his character was better in the series Angel, that's maybe because he was the central figure.
Thank god he was better on Buffy and Angel than he is on Bones, cos last night he came across as being a right pratt.
 
I think he was better in Angel. We got to know Angel more in this show. He is more interesting(he's central character so the show pretty much concentrates on him)and funny character(we hardly can see him in Buffy joking or so)
In Buffy he's just all mysterious but in Angel he becomes closer to us.
 
i think he was better on Angel. he really grew as a character there, instead of just lurking about.
 
I voted Angel. He was much stronger, smarter, & better quippy than he was on Buffy. And he seemed *bigger* to me.... was he *bigger* on Angel than on BtVS? I thought he seemd *bigger*. :whistle:
 
see, i dont know. I think season 1 of buffy he was pretty, well, amateurish as an actor but then, that makes sense given his lack of history acting. But i loved the character in 2 and 3, and i don't know if i completely love Angel as this joke-filled, out going vamp as much as i love him as dark, sexy, brooding vamp.
 
On his own series, no doubt. Not only did he finally have enough screentime to develop his character on, but I guess you've already noticed from my posts that S3 Bangel annoys the cr*p out of me, I let out a sigh of relief when that was over.
 
I prefered him on Buffy. He was good in his own show, but after seeing it all, then re-watching the first3 buffys, i somehow liked him
better than the first time i watched it(btvs). I think Buffy seasons 2 and 3 were the 'Golden age' of the whole Btvs/Ats series, and its when almost all the characters, including Angel, were at their best.
