Angel's character was far deeper and dynamic in his own series than during his time on Buffy. Not that this should come as a total surprise, but the contrasting difference in how his character behaved was pretty stark.

Edit: I totally misread what you were replying to, but I still stand by my statement all the same. Additionally, Angel did probably have something of an equivalent following, but I'm pretty sure Buffy ended up with the larger numbers overall.
