Almost Otaku: Is it OK to Cheer On the Bad Guy?

I hear alot of people say that but I really don't consider Lelouch as a bad guy you cheer for. I don't think he is much of a bad guy at all.

In Death Note Light after a certain point is just evil. He doesn't care about his family he doesn't care about his friends he just kills without mercy and loses sight of his make the world better cause he had in the beginning. He basically becomes caught up in being a god as opposed to being someone who is making the world better.

In Code Geass it is true that Lelouch does some evil things(especially towards the end) but He isn't ever purely bad.

MASSIVE SPOILER ALERT!!!!

When Shirley's Father is killed and she tells him it shakes him to the core. To the point he almost gives up on his whole plan. Where as if that were a character like Light he would not have cared.

We see this time and time again through the series with Euphemia, Rolo, Shirley and so on. Everything bad Lelouch does throughout the series is done to reach his goal and he never loses sight of said goal. I think that makes Lelouch a good guy and not really the bad guy people cheer for.

I watch these shows because of a great villains sometimes ... without one, a show will fail ... For me, Lelouch is more of an anti-hero than villain IMO

"Protagonist" is simply the character you are made to root for. The antagonist is the foil to that character.

Those lines kills a serie for me, nor that it is a bad thing but, the trend is so fried out, don't posses word to express it, That is why death note was so great in my mind.

Does exist a character which can be describe as the Protagonist so the objector of the series!Cus thinking that would be more suitable for kira than anything.
