Gankutsuou and Ladd Russo are often mentioned as well.

Surprised noone mentioned Light or Lelouch yet.

Black lagoon has some awesome ones... That Taiwanese assassin... HAH! That's some good watching right there.
Remember the bone guy in Naruto? Just before the fillers? (Or maybe it was a filler) and Zabusa/Haku.

Too lazy for pix atm.

I will mention another one of my favourites:

Buggy the Clown from One Piece. ( I consider everyone who fight/fought Luffy and his crew as villians)
isn't he hilarious?

He fought them.. But he ain't villian xD
He saved Luffy! Twice xD And even gutted his throat practically by supporting him

have to agree with you, and I'm stuck at ep 427

Vicious

Does Light Yagami count as a villain? If so, him.

Reape · « **Reply #31 on:** June 23, 2010, 09:33:55 AM »

I usually tend to hate villains.

Two thumbs and two toes up

. In any case that would be a villain I like.

But the truly best villains are those so good at being evil that I can't help myself from hating them. Therefore:
Johan Liebert

the World Nobles / Celestial Dragons / Tenryuubito from One Piece

Apos from Mnemosyne

P.S.: Does hentai count?

I don't consider Light or Lelouch villains. They're the heroes of their respective shows.

Light is an antihero. That makes him both the protagonist and the villain. Can't say the same for Lelouch, though.

SeventyX7 · « **Reply #36 on:** June 23, 2010, 04:44:20 PM »

I wouldn't say Lelouch is a villain, he sort of redeemed himself by the end.

Light was evil, though. He's a villain. He killed like what, hundreds of thousands of innocents?

Death Note was a story from the point of view of the bad guy.

sdedalus83 · « **Reply #37 on:** June 23, 2010, 04:56:42 PM »

A protagonist cannot be a villain in the narrative sense. A villain is always an antagonist.

Hell, even if Light had been the antagonist, he'd still be an antihero, not a villain.

lStealtherl · « **Reply #38 on:** June 23, 2010, 05:04:08 PM »

That's nonsense. Sounds like an arbitrary explanation. You can argue if Light was a villain at all in the first place (good villains are often ambivalent in the sense that you can understand them, often because they are well-portrayed), but it has nothing to do with whose view the story is told from. They often coincidice, but are by no means an absolute critera. Many enough books prove this.

My favorite villian is from Durarara!! The Slasher!

Edit: oh also Kusakabe Misao from 11eyes
