Anime with Villainous Main Characters
Anime
If you want to watch an anime portraying a morally grey character with a unique perspective. If they're a psychopath, murderous, not your typical "good" main character, or makes us go, "oh, that character's so wicked," even for a moment, it's on this list (one entry per series - no sequels).
