Oh gosh...wow this is really hard for me lol, there's Nobunaga,Greed,Nakago,Sesshoumaru ,Vicious,Legato Bluesummers,Orochimaru and so on an so forth.
Hmm personally I would have to say Sesshoumaru, I think its his calm yet cocky personality that makes him stand out for me. Maybe it's his hatred towards humans, or his strength and power. [the guy is called Lord Sesshoumaru lol]

How about you guys, Who's your favorite anime villain of all times? oh and if possible please state why. Anime catgrin

Here's some previous threads on people's favorite villians:

animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=27787

animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=22224

animenewsnetwork.com/bbs/phpBB2/viewtopic.php?t=22103

But, since a lot of new people have joined, they probably have anime characters that they love to hate as well. And others may have changed their minds

I still HATE Delphine of Last Exile, but I'm going to have to add Nagi of My-Hime. While I, as yet, do not understand his moitvation and what he gains spoiler[from having the Hime fight each other, ]his glee just pisses me off. I really REALLY hope that one of the Hime spoiler[is able to remove his head from his shoulders. Twisted Evil ]

Edit: Apparently I am a computer moron! (Like I didn't already know!) Sorry that I can't seem to get the first and third urls correct...I've tried... Rolling Eyes Embarassed

It was and still is Aion from Chrono Crusade. That is one crazy villain, seems to have everything already planned out so even when it looks like the good guys get in a victory it seems that it's exactly what he wanted to occur. His goals are simple and he'll use anyone, even his own, to get what he seeks. He's intelligent and wise and incredibly charismatic, not to mention unquestionably evil, you bundle that all together and you get one heck of a villain and it really shows in that series.

Muraki from Yami no Matsuei, there are many reasons why I love to hate this guy -he's shrewd, charismatic, extremely gorgeous, has such an awesome voice in the Japanese version and an ambivalent morality which makes him more interesting to watch and analyze than most of the villains out there.

I despise Nakago.

As for despicible villains I LIKE, YGO's Yami Bakura takes the cake for me. I was seriously screaming "COME ON, THIEFY! QUIT SCREWIN' AROUND AND MURDER THAT SONOFAPHAROAH!!!" at my volumes of SJ...

Oh yes Aion, he's a very unhappy demon and he wants to remake the world into a "paradise" in which he rules.Aion IS a kickass villain, he even turned Rosette's brother Joshua into his pawn. His tactics are really effective, he's quite a snappy dresser as well. Very Happy

Hmm not sure if I'm familiar with him, wait is his Muraki from "Decendants Of Darkness"? Tall, platinum blonde hair,wears a long white coat as well?
I'll be sure to look into this ,just to see what he looks like Very Happy ,but from the sounds of it, I can see why it is that he's your favorite. The villain does sound like one of the greatest.Plus and awesome voice at that? wow! what more can you want right? Very Happy

What make Aion such a likable, effective and successful villain is that you KNOW what he is saying/doing is wrong wrong wrong! But you truly understand where he is coming from and what his motivation is. And to the fact that he is charismatic as hell...and you are in T-R-O-U-B-L-E!!!

Off-Topic - IMO That's why Hilter was so effective. He made himself likable and he was charismatic and a bit hypnotic. I've seen, on TV, films that the Germans made of his speeches, not all were translated but when you watch, it's very...well, hell, I can't really explain it but you get...engaged/involved/hypnotized by what he's saying or doing.

I don't actually have a favorite, because I like too many people to choose.

However I would like to mention Captain Kuro from One Piece. He is easily one of the coolest villians of the series and he appeared within the first 15 episodes of the show. He gave Luffy a run for his money and he's completely, 100% human. No powers, no gadgets. and his weapons are claws. I still say that with his fighting style, he could take out quite a few of the later people Luffy has fought.

He messed with situations, controlled people, and i love how he does that shadow game of his, Very cruel... but great, Awesome actually. I'd like to be in one of those games hahaha i just hope that i don't get sent into the graveyard. Anime smile + sweatdrop Anime cry

Yami no Matsuei is also called Descendants of Darkness in the English version, so yeah it's the same guy. I absolutely hated the nerve-grating voice that they gave him in the dub, sounded nothing like the sexy, velvety voice in the Japanese version.

Cool! I'm not much of a one piece fan but this is true, that evil butler guy .Captain Kuro is a great Villain, He's sneaky and I like his claws too. I just never got into the anime because they showed it on 4kids TV, and it was edited so i felt like it was pointless to wake up at 9 in the morning on Saturdays. hehehe but now they show it on cartoon network so I’ve been seeing it more often. Yeah Captain Kuro could've beaten those guys specially that guy who looks like a house [sorry can't remember the guys name] Anime smile + sweatdrop
I'm off for now people niiiighty, I’ll respond 2mrw sorry I’m getting kinda dizzy so yeah..i need some sleep.
