Your favorite anime villain?

Light is an antihero. That makes him both the protagonist and the villain. Can't say the same for Lelouch, though.
SeventyX7:
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:
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:
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
