So I'm definitely curious if we have some baddie lovers out there. Either from manga or anime XD

Don't get me wrong, I love the Senshi and root for them 100%, but there is still a part of me that will usually have a soft spot for a villain or two.

Right now I'm re-watching the series in Japanese [definitely need to get the manga >>;], and find myself more enamored with the villains vs the first time I saw the series [way back in the day] in English. The voices in particular in Japanese are much more dreamy.

A few of mine since I'm not that far along:
I never could for the life of me see what Molly saw in "Maxfield Stanton"... then I saw Nephrite in the Japanese version and totally knew why Naru had the hots for him.

The Amazon Trio. I don't know why but I looooooooooooooooved them as a kid and my best friend actually had the VHS tapes with subs for most of their season. I was only a kid, but when I learned Fisheye was indeed a boy......I was confused but liked it. hahaha

Fiore from the movie Promise of the Rose. The unrequited love implications for Mamoru made me have a soft spot for him. xDDDD

I'll have to think of more as I get further in.

My favorite villain happens to be Mistress 9. While I did like how she was portrayed in the manga, I do actually prefer her in the anime than the manga. I think she is just more sinister/wicked in the anime than the manga.

My runner-up would definitely have to be Black Lady. I love how she is portrayed in both the anime and the manga. ^^

Oh wow, I'm reminded of a tumblr's vlog about Beryl. it was fantastic.

My fav would have to be Beryl, Diamonde, and Galaxia. The first two because they were completely cool and on the up-and-up, then got obsessed and went downhill fast. xD

And Galaxia because she knew what she wanted and wanted it so badly she pretty much sold her soul for it. ... and she's merciless and FREAKING TERRIFYING. My way or the highway, indeed.

... I could go further in depth, but I'm supposed to get up in 6 hours and just couldn't resist answering before sleeping. ^^'

Like Saturn, I like Black Lady and Mistress 9. They're coolious like that *_*
another villian I happen to like very very much is Mimete! In the amine she was hilarious, being such a bimbo and everything. I was really sad when she was killed by Tellu TT_TT
Not my favorite, but I also liked the Ayakashi sisters from the Black Moon Clan, I really loved what they did in the amine and how they turned good (which didn't happen in the manga).
Must say I'm also pretty found of the Sailor Animamates, they are pretty hilarious as well! And love how they actually call themselves senshi and stuff >D
In addition, I really like Lethe and Mnemosyne (which appeared only in the manga, unfortunately >>). their story was really touching! TT_TT
I think Queen Nehellenia is also cool, being a dark mirror image of Queen Serenity, inside the mirror and stuff.
But my favorites are the Amazoness Quartet! First of all, LOVE the hair! So much hair! And in such cool hairstyles! I also really like how they're circus girls, and I like the characteristics of each of them (my personal favorite is CereCere, but I love the others very much as well). I also was really happy to find out they turned into senshi in the manga, too bad it didnt happen in the anime... Could be so much better! Though I try to tell myself that in the anime version they're just unawaken yet and would be awaken at the 30th century, lol.
Either way, that's my little opinion ^^;
the Anazoness Quartet rules!

Mistress 9, especially in the manga. and Galaxia - she's hardcore, man.

Well, like a few others here, I ADORE Mistress 9! She's gorgeous and basically rotten to the core. I love how she emotionally manipulates Usagi and Prof. Tomoe into giving her the grail; so twisted!

I also love the entire organization of Shadow Galactica; Galaxia herself, the Sailor Animamates, and the other Senshi (Lethe, Mnemosyne, Phi, and Chi) They're all so badass.

Hands down, Prince Diamond. Oh, I love that man. He was so obsessive and determined and I liked his goal, to be perfectly honest. Everyone wants to destroy Sailor Moon (at the heart of their intent) but really, all he wanted was Neo Queen Serenity. Such a selfish reason and I think he would have been content in just having her and leaving the Earth to Wiseman.

I wish so badly that there had been a moment in the manga or anime where he had a small battle against just Tuxedo Kamen. Or even more so, that there had been further development between Diamond and King Endymion. :S

But yah, I love him.

I completely agree~. <3

Diamond is by far my favorite antagonist throughout the seasons or arcs both, mainly because his very reasoning is so human. I love his reactions and motivations, even if they can be questionable. Sapphire is a close second to Diamond, as well.

(I'll come back later and give a more detailed post on why I like them so much, XD.)

Hm... I would have to say Manga wise- Galaxia and Black Lady.

Anime- I adore Sailor Tin Nyanko and Sailor Aluminium Siren, also the Amazon Quartet.

For all around favs.

Still waiting for that detailed post! Honestly, I could discuss him all day.

Haha, sorry. Haven't been motivated the past few days because of lack of sleep, but I will get it up next week! Promise! (Check LoA thread to see why.)

Galaxia! The best of the best for the superior ones, but for subordinates Aluminum Siren is currently my favorite and it's probably because I"m roleplaying her. (I swear roleplaying someone makes you get attached the a character more ) And I like Palla Palla as well. She's adorable!

XD, still haven't gotten around to this. I'll just start writing my post out in MS Word (although fixing the formatting will make me want to beat my head into the wall when it comes to copy-paste time ...) so it'll get done between NaNo-ing.

I like Bertier. She reminded me of a Southern Belle.

Well, it's always been Mistress 9, JunJun, Galaxia, and Sailor Iron Mouse.

Here's why:

WICKED. SPUNKY. CRUEL. DOWN RIGHT HILARIOUS.

Galaxia is my favorite by far. She did sell her soul!

My favorite villains mostly come from SuperS/Dream Arc, especially the Amazoness Quartet. I love them and I love their music in the anime. It's classical yet energetic!

And let's not forget Nehelenia! The woman who EATS dreams!
(from my tumblr thewhitemoonfamily.tumblr.com)

I guess a VERY close second would be the villains from S, especially Mistress 9. She was such a crazy freak. Loved it.

Lilith of Darkness, Death Lamia, Queen Beryl, Sailor Galaxia, The Sailor Animamates and the Amazoness Quartet!

My favorite villians were definitely the Black Moon clan! However I don't really see them as traditional villians so as for my favorite villians who I actually see as villians....

Anime: Definitely the Deathbusters! Not only were they super funny but they were actually a real threat and super creepy! For once the Sailor Senshi actually had a real battle on their hands, a battle that they couldn't just win with the power of the Ginzuisho. The fact that these villians also fought with science and had a lot of religious symbolism to them also made them extremely interesting and not like anything that the Senshi had ever faced!

Manga: The Dark Kingdom. Mostly because of their extremely significant history with the Senshi, the Senshi actually had a personal motive to fight them as they were the cause of the destruction of the Silver Millenium. I also loved how Beryl became evil due to unrequited love as that's actually a realistic reason why someone would turn evil.

I also loved the Amazon Trio and Amazon Quartet in the anime... hell I loved what the anime did with all the villians! (Well except Beryl and Jadeite, they handled those two horribly!) But if I had to choose... besides the Black Moon Clan my favorite villian groups were the Death Busters in the anime and the Dark Kingdom in the manga.

I agree Beryl was given no personality in the anime.

My favorite villains as of right now (it could expand since I'm going through Sailor Moon again in Japanese) are Black Lady, Sailor Aluminum Siren, and Queen Nehelenia.

Black Lady is a favorite because first and foremost, she is Chibiusa and I love her XD. But I love the concept of Black Lady and how she was created. I also think she's really pretty. Not to mention, she was just a chibi of a character from what I remember.

I love Sailor Aluminum Siren because she is just...a ditz, but clearly a genius in her own right. She came up with a great plot to get Sailor Moon's star seed, it was just foiled because of the senshi (obviously). She was a cute character and I loved her, she made me laugh with her ditziness, so it bummed me out when she was killed T.T (she also makes me think of Brittany from Glee if anyone watches that show. I feel like her relationship with Sailor Lead Crow was a lot like Brittany's and Santana's).

Queen Nehelenia is also a favorite because she was also like a ruthless chibi. She would do anything to to accomplish what she wanted, even going to extremes to do so. Dark mirror image of Queen Serenity too? Bonus. That's awesome. Her story though made me sad (the filler in the Stars season). I'm glad that in the end, everything worked out and she got a second chance to live a good life.

(OMG I love the sensor that uses 'chibi' XD)

The Dead Moon Circus is my favorite. They're coming after you and looking into your soul just to see if you carry a flying horse inside of you. If your soul breaks too bad they don't care unless Helious was in it.

I also liked Prince Diamond and his brother. Oh and the sisters too.

King Endymion and tiger-eye are my favorite Villains.I always laugh when tiger-eye fail a mission,my Favorite episode with him was "perfect couple".

My favorite villains would have to be PallaPalla and Aluminum Seiren, both for the same reason. I like bad guys who have kind of a silly side to them instead of being all super-serious "Let's blow up the world"-ish all the time.

This is pretty easy. My all time favorite, top two, are the Black Moon Clan princes. I love them both for different reasons, but how can you not like the anime versions? (In the manga, they have little to redeem them. In the anime, they were more soundly manipulated. It makes their deaths far more regrettable. I rather wish they were brought back, honestly.)

The ones that stuck out for me were Mistress 9, Eudial and PallaPalla.

Mistress 9 was just plain creepy imo, I felt so bad for Hotaru in the manga cuz you could clearly see she was struggling to survive and M9 was just like "NO, DIE ALREADY YOU WORTHLESS SCUM!!". Also her manipulating Usagi into giving her the chalice, and that crazy hair just, no words. I get the chill just thinking about her.

Eudial was the only one that truly tried to find the talismans and heart crystals. She did her best to take down the senshi and she could've done it if Mimete hadn't interfered.

PallaPalla was a real creeper. She would be all cute and innocent one moment and the next ripping doll apart like the hulk. Also, her schemes were always the best. She could check multiple mirrors in no time flat.

OMNOMNOM DREAMS.

Anyway, yes, I am definitely a huge fan of Queen Nehelenia. I may have a slight obsession over her character. She's the only villain to ever return to the anime and the most developed villain out of the others. She has my heart and my dreams. <3

Lust I think your siggy and avatar explains your love for her. XD

It does explain it, but people need to know! NEED!

I love Galaxia because I relate so well to her feeling like she was destined for so much more than her own simple beginnings. I've also felt completely alone in the world, even if I wasn't the way she was. I appreciate her strength and ruthlessness in going after what she wanted. I love all her incarnations, but I think my fave is from Eien. There are many other villains I like, but Galaxia is my first love, always.
