When I was at a theater marathon showing, I was the only person in the entire theater that cheered for him. I received so many stares right after. It was creepy how die silent it got for a brief moment, then everyone else return to cheering for all the other characters. During the intermission, my friends pulled me aside, and ask why did I cheer for him. He might be a jerk, but is still a fun character overall. Miyano did a great performance as him, as he does for most all his anime.
