hm…i'll have to think this one over before i give a more detailed response. but off the top of my head, i'll say Shishio Makoto from Rurouni Kenshin. He was the only reason I managed to stay around that long into the series. How Nietzcshean.
Oh, and Ni Jian Yi a.k.a. Ukoku Sanzo from Gensoumaden Saiyuki/Saiyuki Reload. The Reload anime sucks major, but the manga is something fierce, art and story line, especially since Ni's involvement in things is becoming more and more known.
-
Frieza
-
Frieza, hes my favourite villain in manga.
-
Crocodile, Dio, and Brian Hawk.
-
BUGGY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (I think I have said anough
) -
Pretty much all the major Kenshin villains are interesting. Shishio, Enishi, Soujirou…all great. Heck, even Raijuuta was cool in the manga, though it was admittedly "cool for being a loser" (if you've read the Raijuuta story, you know what I mean).
I'm also very fond of the manga incarnation of Millions Knives (from Trigun/Trigun Maximum). He's a very interesting fellow, with some really nifty and cool looking abilities as well.
Finally, this post can't be complete without a reference to the villains of Naoki Urasawa. Johan (Monster) is superbly written and interesting not just as a villain, but simply as a "person" on the whole. Excellently done (though the crappy voice they gave him in the anime was disappointing). "Friend", from 20th Century Boys, is likewise a masterpiece of villain-writing, which is only natural to expect from Urasawa. I hear Happy has a hell of an antagonist cast (not gonna call 'em "villains", since it's a sports manga), but I haven't read that myself to confirm.
-
Griffith, hands down.
Kakihara from Koroshiya Ichi and Anotsu from Mugen no Juunin are nice too.
20th Century Boys's Friend is, well, it's hard to say anything about him because we don't know nothing about him but that fits perfectly.
I loved L too RIP.

[snapback]14274[/snapback]**Hell, I forgot about Griffith and Anotsu. They're both more interesting than all the other characters in their respective series by far.
…and while L's cool, he's not a villain by any stretch. He's an "antagonist", since the series is told from the REAL villain's perspective.

He was the only reason I managed to stay around that long into the series. How Nietzcshean. [snapback]14220[/snapback]Count me in the Shishio faction. He's one of those villains that you love and hate at the same time (well, it's more love in my case, but he did do a lot of nasty things).
edit: Johan of Monster too. and Tomodachi/Friend. basically, everything Naoki Urasawa touches is gold. I can't imagine what will become if he collaborates with Studio Ghibli.
-
- Makoto Shishio. Just about everything about him is cool (except his body temp).
- Toguro Brothers. Its the perfect match of two types of villians: the "cool and calm with a troubled past" villian, and "just freakin' INSANE" villian.
- Arlong and Sir Crocodile. I don't really have to explain why, do I?
- D-Reaper, which I found extremely interesting. And its ADRs are extremely freaky (especially "Juri Type").
-
I'll also be joining the Shishio camp, partly because he truly is a damn good villian, and partly because he also had great taste in henchmen.
As for other series… I think Humankind qualifies as the villian(s) in Elfen Lied, a very fine choice, I might add.
-
1. Griffith/Femto (Berserk)
2. Shinobu Sensui (Yu Yu Hakusho)
3. Kurei (Flame of Recca)
4. Raoh/Ken-Oh (Hokuto no Ken)

6. Fuma Menou (X)
7. Makoto Shishio (Rurouni Kenshin)
8. Byakuya Kuchiki (Bleach)
9. Itachi Uchiha (Naruto)
10. Dakkei (Houshin Engi)-Honorable Mentions-
Nakago (Fushigi Yugi)
Cell (Dragon Ball Z)
Kurodo Akabane/Dr. Jackel (Get Backers)
Eneru (One Piece)
Kaioh (Hokuto no Ken 2) -
Kurei was really awesome, and it was even better when he became an anti-hero later on.
Shishio needs no introduction.
Arlong is my favorite villain in One Piece (well, as a serious villain. Buggy and Foxy top him). He was just so twisted.
I didn't like Scar until much later on, when the military was attacking lIor. He had a lot of great moments there.
Master Asia kicked ass, as did Millions Knives (a really great "Chaotic Evil" kind of character).
That's all I can think of for now… there's probably a million I'm forgetting.
-
As much as I like Rurouni Kenshin, I always thought its villains were teh suck.
-
Shishio was good, but I thought some of the others were a little lame (like Jin'e, his presonality was pretty much KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL KILL!!!!!!)

[snapback]14274[/snapback]**Nice choices!
Johan from Monster is my new favourite villian right now, but Griffith and "Friend" are some all-time good ones! Also gotta give some love to Buggy as well…a goofy villian, but I still love him.

OMG!! I forgot Legato Blue Summers (Trigun), Scar (Fullmetal Alchemist), and Dio Brando (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure).
-
Dio Brando.
If you read the manga, you know why he such a BASTARD, especially for what he does to Jonathan.
-
Gutts is the greatest villain ever. He burns children, doesn't give a fuck if thousands of people are dying because of him and his love, and he is trying to kill God. He is trying to kill the jesus christ of Berserk (griffith) and doesn't care if the rest of the people in the world are suffering. All he cares about is Caska, himself, and just recently his crew.
They don't call him the Black Swordsman for nothing.
Then there's Zabuza. He entered a fight with every other youth in his village and killed every last one of them. The demon of the mist Zabuza is one sick twisted bastard who really got me into Naruto (Gaara got me hooked….I predicted gaara would become good way back so he doesn't make my list).
Vegeta. A rebel saiyan prince who took a stand against the evil tyrant who killed off his entire race including all of his family. He left behind his authority in the cold empire to search for the dragon balls so he could become immortal. Along the way he was going to kill off every single earthling. The guy never gives up and is the cockiest son of a bitch you'll ever see.
There's more for me but I don't feel like having a page long post.
-
there's no best villain for me. i haven't seen that many animes but in those i've seen there were no villains i'd like.

[snapback]14400[/snapback]**I just finished Part I this morning.:P
-
Here are some I like:
Enishi and Soujiro from Rurouni Kenshin.
Kuro from One Piece.
Kuroro from Hunter x Hunter.
Giant Robo: Shockwave Alberto, (and some others like Mask the Red and Fabulous Fitzcarrald…bascially I like each member of the Magnificent Ten, but I probably shouldn't name them all). Also, Ko-Enshaku, because he just keeps coming back.
-
Rau Le Crueset (Gundam SEED) - He was damn good manipulating others, it seems, and he was sadistic enough to make the list. XD
Neo (Gundam SEED Destiny) - Hmm… Lots of mysteries surrounding him, all of which I'm intrigued with, so I'm watching him closely.
Miss Valentine (One Piece) - Hot, evil, sadistic, enough said.
Nakago (Fushigi Yuugi) - Holy crap, he's twisted as hell. He uses Yui, Miaka, Tamahome... And he's got enough raw power to back anything he does up. -

oh my goodness, yes, kuroro…
strange, actually, he inspires an ambivalent feeling in me. i don't know whether i like him or hate him (i generally dislike the spiders. i have made it a conscious effort to side with kurapika. i empathize with kurapika to the best of my abilities). but i have to admit that he is a...fascinating man. he shows up and i just can't turn away…
Nakago (Fushigi Yuugi) - Holy crap, he's twisted as hell. He uses Yui, Miaka, Tamahome… And he's got enough raw power to back anything he does up.
Yea, Watase did good on him. He was a whole lot of fun to watch. The other cvharacters were pushed way too much into their cliche's they came close to becoming plot devices instead of characters, but i really think she hit it just right with Nakago, and most of the Seiryuu stars (save amiboshi who grates my nerves). On a similar note, did any of you guys see or read Ayashi no Ceres? i thought Mikagi was a wonderful "villain". His development and motivation was heartbreaking…
-
My top 2 would probably be Shishio and Griffith. Enishi, Soujiro, Crocodile, Toguro, Cell, Frieza, Sensui, and SPOILERSaizen from bleach seems like hell be pretty evilSPOILERS
-
My top anime villain would have to be Perfect Cell. The fact that he was willing to give his opponents one week to get ready before he kicks their asses on live television just flings him right up to the top of the list. That and the way he dealt with Mr. Satan is one of my favorite visuals ever.
The original Piccolo Daimao was one mean sonuvabitch as well.
Schwarzvald from The Big O has to be up there as one of the more creepy villains of all time; if only because of how he killed all of those people with those masks that set their faces on fire.
-
Crocodile
Shisho makoto
Grifith
Cell
Broly -
I always liked Toguro Ani from Yu Yu Hakusho and Yami Bakura from Yu-Gi-Oh.
But Toguro Ani is FAR more evil than Bakura….
-
i forgot vegeta
-
Shishio Makoto from the Kenshin series is probably the worst I've seen. He rocked! :).
-
totaly cool hes so evil MUHAHAHAHAAAA
-
top two favorite:
Sessy and Itachi
-
Makoto Shishio:(RuroKen)
The classic bandaged social Darwinist. Quite an original design.Sensui Shinobu:(YYH)
An extremely deep, and twisted character. A true example of the ironic truth that most victims have a part in creating their killers.Maxwell:(Hellsing)
A fucking nut. He killed hundreds of innocent civilians in London, thinking he can bring judgement day. -
Ah, I must see Hellsing. How many episodes/volumes is it?
-

[snapback]17155[/snapback]Anime is 13 episodes, though the second half is totally original content (and only covers the first two books). The manga's 7 books last I checked, but the author's a real slacker, so it comes out REALLY slowly.
-
The Hellsing manga is currently 7 volumes, the creator is working on the 8th volume right now.
Read it, dammit, -
[Shishio Makoto] (Rurouni Kenshin)
|Just awesome. Hellishly powerful, and insane. Gotta love a guy wrapped in bandages who's been deep-fried.[Arlong]
|He is the epitome of "Evil jackass bastard". He has no remorse for anything he's done, and feels he's right to have caused Nami and her village such pain. He's one bad MFer, to be sure.Um… Those are the only two that immediately come to mind.
-
For me it will have to be:
The genie ryodan from hunter x hunter
bomb devil gang from hunter x hunter
the anton 7 from outlaw star
eneru from one piece
CP9 from one piece
SpandaM from one piece * he's not that all kicked ass but he managed to fuck over tom,franky and iceburg*
freiza from dragonballZ
DR.itchagaki from yu yu hakusho
seiryuu from yu yu hakusho
-
I just finished reading the Kenshin manga all the way through, and am presently changing my camp from Shishio to Enishi. Now THERE'S a villian I truly can appreciate: totally insane, but he has a REASON to be.
-
Shishio had a reason too.
I don't know about Enishi. He's a cool guy, but I still see him as the little punk he was in the flashback.
-
Hm… I dont know if he is a villian or not since he turned kinda "good" at the end but I really liked Kurei from Flame of Recca.
-
Well, seeing as he will always seem like a man at odds with himself, and as he did such a good job of his earlier villainous activities, I'd consider Kurei a villain, and pretty well developed one, too…
-
I never really cared for Enishi for some reason. I mean, I understand why he hates Kenshin and wants to hurt him, but I just never really felt anything for him. Of course, that's pretty much how I felt about the whole "Revenge" arc, but that's just me.
Actually, my favorite villian from that arc was Gein, the world's first mecha pilot. And I just love his fighting style (Puppet Strings of DOOM!).
-
The reason I personally appreciate Enishi as a villian is due to the way I see the Kenshin series as a whole. It's a series revolving around a character and his ideal not to kill anyone, and the enemies he faces constantly bring challenges to that ideal. Of the enemies, only two really struck me as digging deep into Kenshin, based on the things they said to him. The first was Soujiro, when he said, "Why wasn't there anyone there to protect me?" The next was Enishi, when he says, "The one thing I wanted to protect, was taken from me before my very eyes."
As for Gein… interesting to an extent, but in terms of minor villians from that arc, I think I vastly prefer Kujiranami.
-
Sensui Shinobu-YuYu Hakusho
Legato Bluesummers-Trigun
Millions Knives-Trigun
Arlong-One Piece
Shishio Makoto-Rurouni Kenshin
Vicious-Cowboy Bebop
Darcia-Wolf's RainAnd the worst anime villian ever, NARAKU!!!

[snapback]18909[/snapback]Yeah, being shot and set ablaze by a government you've killed many men in the name of is hardly an incentive.
