I haven't seen much anime (like 30% of my Completed are specials), but in unique series I haven't seen female villains like that.

I agree with this dude since your list is like all hentai but, there definitely aren’t a lot of great female villains either.
Lolicons are scum.
BABYMETAL is more metal than Metallica.
Naruto is objectively the best anime ever.
HxH 99' is decent. HxH 11' is bad.

Satsuki Kiryūin / Ragyō Kiryūin from Kill la Kill.

Lust from Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood.

The list of female villains I've come across is pretty short but there are probably more out there.

Esdeath isn't a good female villain, in fact, she's not a good character in general.

Precia Testarossa is a great female villain, or Haman Karn, Ragyo Kiryuin is also awesome.

Actually, I would even say that Musashi (or Jessie in english version) from Pokemon anime is one of themost developed villainesses of all time, at least as far as anime is concerned, even if Team Rocket are more of a comic relief, than really bad bad guys.

She's a fuckable sadist. So are the other characters you named.

there's plenty of good female villains, but tbf, there's WAY too many bland ones to where it's not that easy to find an example of the former. You're not looking hard enough.

Yeah, well...
Her design is attractive, but everything else about her was, IMO, more like just another girl archetype for MCs harem.

When she randomly said she wants to fall in love, and then she saw MC, I just couldn't believe how dumb something can be; like, you have thousands of other males around, and out of all of them, you just happen to fall in love with none other than MC. :rolleyes

After that, I just couldn't wait to finish that Akame garbage as soon as possible.

I thought it was funny how every female in Akame wanted the MCs nuts. I thought it was supposed to be parodying harems but I could be wrong, either way I laughed my ass off at AkG.

I’m definitely not gonna say any of it was well written though, especially not esdeath.

Akame and her sister were the only part I took relatively serious.

Depends on what you mean by good villain. Esdeath was just stylish, she wasn't really a good character.

I'd say Sanakan from Blame!, which is one of my favourites, though I don't really remember how she was on the movie, but she's pretty awesome in the manga. Blame! also has quite a few other female villains.
Also, I haven't watched Promised Wonderland but we all heard great things about it, so maybe their female villains are good as well.

But yeah, there's not even a lot of female villains in anime. The fact that the only villain you can think of is a shallow sadist tells a lot about female portrayal in anime I guess. Even Lust was rather meh in Brotherhood imo, even though so many people cited her.

And you only watch shit.

really? your idea of a good female villian is a sadist that fall in love with the most basic shonen protagonist?
warning!"for anyone who is reading this, if you didn't watch akame ga kill then don't watch, its shit."
anyway here are some anime with good female villians(in my opiinion):
kill la kill
one piece (pretty much all of it's villians are good)
aku no hana (that nakamura girl is horrific)
danganronpa (not that good but atleast interesting)
elfen lied (idk if u can call those villians but eh)
nanatsu no taizai
prison school (you will probably like this one if you haven't watch it)

Bro how can you call Akame ga kill bad but then say kill la kill and elfen lied are good XD

Akame ga kill and kill la kill have the same type of comedy appeal in my opinion.

And elfen lied was just bad >.>

Lolicons are scum.
BABYMETAL is more metal than Metallica.

Kamina Maya from RaXephon, a true milf villain. And Enoshima Junko from Danganronpa. Both of them kinda succeeded in destroying the world and Maya would want to bang her son, that's evil.

so i guess this is a thread were we mention our fav female villain
anyways Pandora from Lost Canvas



i liked her backstory, her character design, the fact that she tamed one of the most broken an overpowered characters in the show (lol Divine Radhamantys who tanked an universal recreation attack) her relationship to Hades an the tragic conclusion of her story
also i like that despite knowing the main character since they were young, she isnt in love with him, they are enemies

Totally agree.

He also rated The Master of Ragnarok and Blesser of Einherjar with a 10 lol

Anyway, Beatrice from Umineko is a good villain.

I really don't get the gender thing there because really good villains are rare for both of them.

If I had to choose one from each gender it would be:

- Clementine from Overlord for female
- Satou from Ajin for male

Sure there would be a few more but tbh that's most of the time for visuals only and not because the char/backstory itself is great.

The antagonist from claymore was pretty damn badass, mostly just from the design though. Piscatoris or whatever her name was. Personality wise she was pretty bland and she also didn't had much character development which is a bummer.

Oh and while pitou is neutral gendered, i consider her still a female based on her appereance, so yeah.

Haman Karn is also one of the best female characters in Gundam franchise, but Gundam ZZ ruin her characters. She's so great in Zeta but ZZ she just meh.
It doesn't matter if you like LoGH,Monster etc.If you are a jobless or college/school dropout living in your mom basement, you are still an unintelligent loser. Taste in anime does not make you a better person.

I agree, she was almost a female version of Char and then...
Mineva-sama being an imposter was a bummer too (they redeemed her [the real one] in Unicorn tho).

everyone seemed to forgot about her but,

First, LEGENDARY KIRYUUIN SATSUKI !
and
Second,

well the first is more of an antagonist than a villan but again, to me, both are good female characters overall

also if anyone mentions kaguya ( from naruto ) I'll lose it

also op, watch more anime besides ecchi if you want to see good charaters, I'm a hardcore fan of ecchi myself, but I do know that a lot of ecchi lacks on good characters department
