The primary distinction I'd make between an anti-hero and a villain is that the anti-hero pursues a noble goal through unheroic and socially unacceptable means while a villain pursues an ignoble and usually selfish goal. For the majority of the series, Lelouch plays the role of a villain because he uses people to satisfy his own revenge. He becomes and anti-hero in the latter portion of S2 when his motivations change from fulfilling his personal vendetta to destroying Britannia by uniting the world against himself.

Re-watching FMP has reminded me how great of a villain Gauron is. He isn't a terribly deep as a character; however, his design just reeks bad-ass-villainy from every pour. I also appreciated that, unlike the villains in many mecha shows, he doesn't spout a whole lot of philosophical crap in order to justify himself. He simply revels in his evil.

Very Huge Development of him/her in that series

Hope, Aspirations, Failure, Tears and most importantly that EPIC END

Griffith is one of the best.  Light was pretty good too, especially since he was also the protagonist.

The difference between villains and anti-heroes is quite simple: evil vs good.  An anti-hero may be hard to like sometimes, but you can't deny the merit of their actions and goals, while a villain may sometimes make you wish they'd just be good, but inevitably their actions are unforgivable.  Lelouche wasn't a villain; he could be arrogant, but his objectives were noble and he always held true to them.  Light Yagami was a smart, bored, egomaniac that got too powerful, nothing heroic about him.  Sure, he killed bad guys, but he was never really heroic when doing so, and he killed innocents just as easily and not for a greater purpose, but just to save himself.
