What's it about anime that's so alluring? Maybe the unbelievable worlds it transfers us to, maybe the breathtaking stories it tells us, and maybe the hyped-up characters that make all those plot lines come to life? We guess it's all of the above, but there's also one thing that stands out in the anime world - its villains. Oh yeah, the technicolor beings of pure evil, the scheming monsters, and the betraying lovers are what actually makes any anime series so memorable and hair-raising. So, this is our dedication to the most heinous, hideous, and wicked anime villains that we have had the pleasure of hating.

Of course, you'll know most of these evil characters, for they are famous even beyond the anime fandom. Yup, we're talking about you, Dio Brando from JoJo's Bizarre Adventure, Light Yagami from Death Note, and Isabella from The Promised Neverland. Didn't expect that last one here, did you? Sure, that's just a couple of devils incarnate that we've mentioned, and for the rest of the evil anime characters, you'll have to check the list itself. And don't be fooled by some of these anime characters' innocent looks - the creators of the genre are ingeniously good at portraying wolves in sheep's clothing! You might even come to like some of these animated monsters, and before you know it - there's a knife right in your back. Well, not a literal one, but you get what we are saying here. 

So, get yourself a clove of garlic, some holy water, and anything else that should save you from the wicked spells of the evilest anime villains you're about to meet. As per usual, our submissions are just a smidgen down below, and it is going to be you who'll decide who's the most malicious of these famous characters by giving them your vote. Once that is all sorted out, share this article with anyone to whom you'd like to give a portion of the creeps!
