That depends on what you mean by angst, I guess.

I mean, I'm always a fan of well-written character drama. As such, I tend to prefer characters with some kind of internal conflict. Fate/Zero's Kotomine Kirei and Emiya Kiritsugu come to mind when I say this. Characters that lack such kinds of conflict come off as less identifiable for me.

Subtlety is the key here, I think. I'm all for some character conflict in my anime, but I don't like it being smashed into my face. A few shed tears are good, but overblown hysterics might not be depending on the context.
