Do not simply list out characters in your posts. Post reasons and make sure to include spoiler tags like the above line if it contains spoilers.

Does anyone else need a doctor to confirm that someone without a head is dead?

Hmmmm...

- Joshan (Monster) -> Definitely the most dark and creepy character in the anime history. But Monster is not a shounen. But consider it please.

- Naraku (Inuyasha) -> Persistent, has style and has an very dark history too.

But yes, Joshan can easily win as the biggest and most cruel villain in the anime story. Monster spoiler:

I don't care if its Sainen or not. Actually, I am always getting confused about what is shounen and what is not. Er. If Death Note is not Sainen, why would Monster be? They have almost the same style.

The same style: Someone that is killing people and other guy that is trying to jail the assassin.

Monster has a sense of realism to it. It brings forth a representation of the Evil Genius theory and is far more mature than Death Note. Death Note is an unrealistic battle of wits anime, which should be categorized as an unorthodox battle shounen. You don't judge a series' intended demographic by themes but by how they're presented to the audience.

Edit - And I find that most people can't even judge something other than what magazine it has been published in. If you guys can't support what you claim, then don't answer. You don't have to, so don't bother. It's easy, just shut the fuck up.

This is now starting to bother me, Johan*. Also Seinen and Shonen deal with the same themes very often, but the way plot is executed and how the characters are developed measure what age the series is targeted at. Death Note could of easily been made into Seinen, but Ohba and Obata did an excellent job turning it into unorthodox Shonen manga. (Lol, got that one from Bakuman.)

I wanted to say Shōgo Makishima but I realized it's probably seinen..maybe..

Right now my favorite is Marshall D. Teach "Blackbeard", because he has a lot of complexity for a villain.. appearing a drunken fool but is actually a mastermind...
.. killing random people but then not wanting to kill other certain people..
..having an extremely similar ideology to the main protagonist but going about it in all the bad ways..
Appearing weak(defensively) because of his devil fruit power and his middle aged body, but actually really powerful... yeah
