The villain in Kaitou Joker was good.
Killing the mc's parents, ruining lives and stuff XD

I actually seriously agree. Kaitou Joker is so unabashedly straightforward that the antagonists were always interesting. It's a shame I get more enjoyment out of shows aimed at 10-year-olds than ones aimed at my actual age group, though.

Uhh, like, maybe fifteen minutes? It was Dio. He's a pretty good villain, I think.

I think Dio is a very generic villain, but I haven't read the manga, so..

People need to learn the difference between a villain and an antagonist.
A villain doesn't get brownie points for having goody two-shoes motivations or being wishy washy.

The last time I met that kind of villain was a month ago I think, when I was catching up to One Piece.

I very long time and that´s making me pretty sad.I thought Darker than BLACK had something to offer so I watched it. Nope-faceless "evil syndicate" thing.That´s the worst.
Best I can think of right now is the Major from Hellsing Ultimate.

Could you imagine just spouting that out randomly. People would think you are either crazy or got attacked by a flamingo.

Last one was Magi: The Labyrinth of Magic with
and before that, Soul Eater, with the Kishin Asura.

But if ya ask me, it's not the insane I'm-gonna-kill-everyone-and-everything villains that are best. It's the ones that would gladly do that as a means to a tangible concrete end. Like Medusa Gorgon who saught to use her child to control the unimaginable power of the Kishin Asura. Or Weak End, in Witchcraft Works.

Uff i totally forgot about Asura i really liked him when i watched the anime and manga but dont really sure if i would put him on the very top but quite close to.Hes dialog whit Death was awesome.

I think twelve kingdoms and legend of legendary heroes has good villains, though none of them are like the joker. Maybe Izaya though he's more of a big manipulator than villain or hisaoka (though he's not a villain) or the spider troop from hunter x hunter.

Clearly the anti-spiral from Gurren Lagann is the greatest villain ever. He kinda took over the universe for a while, there. Most villains have trouble taking over a single planet.

Recently been watching Toaru Kagaku no Railgun, and gotta say Accelerator was a pretty cool villain. Not because of any deep backstory or unique motivations, but just for being really easy to hate for the way he is and what he does.

Apparently the top ten villains on thetoptens.com are:
1. Aizen (Bleach)
2. Light (Death Note)
3. Frieza (Dragon Ball Z)
4. Madara (Naruto)
5. Naraku (Inuyasha)
6. Cell (Dragon Ball Z)
7. Orochimaru (Naruto)
8. Johan Liebert (Monster)
9. Izaya Orihara (DURARARARARARARA)
10. Envy (FMA)

On IGN it's
1. Johan Liebert (Monster)
2. Light (Death Note)
3. Vegeta (Dragon Ball Z)
4. The Major (Hellsing Ultimate)
5. Lucy/Kaede/Nyu (Elfen Lied)
6. Griffith (Berserk)
7. Naraku (Inuyasha)
8. Shou Tucker (Fullmetal Alchemist)
9. Vicious (Cowboy Bebop)
10. Father (Fullmetal Alchemist)


I though ign were comic nerds?

by that logic they would need to rethink their anime list because it doesnt go with the logic of true villian never changing sides.

As I've said in other threads I think one of the things Western animation does better is their villains. Anime doesn't seem to realize that not every big bad needs to have a tragic backstory.

Tbh I'd rather have a big bad like the Lich who's backstory we know nothing about and only wants to destroy all life then most anime villains.

You don't make a character "complex" with a sad backstory though.
Just look at Griffith


Agreed. About Griffith I've yet to watch/read Berserk so I don't know but I've heard he's GOAT

Yea, I like these villains too. It depends on the show I guess, sometimes a backstory is nice but in DBZ let's say, if Frieza was given some sad background it'd be cringe-worthy.

If you like &quot;gray&quot; characters like Meruem(he's in your favs so I assume you do) then you'll love this guy.Truly one of the best written and most fascinating characters the medium has to offer.


I loved Meruem so that's good to hear. I gotta watch Berserk asap since everyone praises this guy (& series as whole).

You have to admit a big part of Mereum's charm was his conflicted feelings for Komugi. Grey characters in general are interesting but I know for a fact Mereum wouldn't have been half as interesting without Komugi to play off of. They complemented eachother perfectly.

Yep, he wouldn't have been as memorable without her (& probably the arc as whole honestly). But I liked him before she even showed up, he wasn't my favorite yet but I still found him awesome. He could've stayed the same evil guy from the beginning of the arc & it wouldn't have been a problem for me.
