The likeable Villain, does he exist

I just came up with my own suggestion.

Harry.

Even though he's chasing after some sort of dumb dream of his, but at the end of the second half of the anime, which I pretty much forced myself to sit through cause the plot totally went to hell, I still liked him. That guy is just too damn slick.

He's responding to your response that Haruko randomly hits people. Which is not true.

He said that random violence is as evil as lightning, which destroys random things for no reasons.

However, Haruko is not random. She is quite focused in her quest to get power. She doesn't randomly hit people. She can use her bass guitar to initiate a persons NO. Which would assist her in her quest to obtain the most powerful beings (Atomsk's) NO, as Naota does.

sorry bout that I just misunderstood he said " ligHT*?ING"
didn't mean anything by it

Even Naota wasn't just a random person Haruko hit. She had earlier hit Kamon who told her about Naota. She acts like an idiot, but is really serious and determined. She uses individuals with NO as tools, and lets others do whatever as long as it doen't interfere with her

OR she is a totally random idiot who's made to look like a feisty planner in the very end as a cheap plot device.

Or FLCL could actually be deep!

I mean it's a story about growing up, it tells a good story, it has a good meaning, it's a great anime, but not every little detail needs to be brilliant. Seeing something deeply important in her behaviour is like seeing some underlying philosophical meaning in the latter two parts of the Matrix trilogy, which quite honestly for the sake of the first movie should not be treated as a trilogy.

yeah what M said (she's cool, your not and you envy this so you try to rip it from her.) so why are you intent on breaking haruko's reputation?

Well for one thing, if you were so sure about your precious Haruko you wouldn't be so nervous about proving me wrong. FLCL is indeed deep a whole. Large parts of it by themselves however, are not.

If this just appeared at the end, then it wouldn't be as deep, but seeing as the whole series points towards this, I can actually refer to more than episode six! Amazing!

Naota growing up might be a main part of the plot, but there are plenty of equally important plot lines in the story.

Bugger I meant it's deep as a whole. Haruko is not a person, she does not have a repution. Furthermore this thread is not about FLCL, it's about likeable villains, Haruko is neither. She's easily the most obnoxious thing in the anime.
It's a good thing this forum doesn't keep track of how many posts users make, I would probably find myself accused of stat padding because of my additions.

Look at the profiles. It does.

Oh, my rant on Haruko's depth has to do with why some people like her.

Oh, by the way, another villian I like is Vincent from the Cowboy Bebop movie
