Hello! My name is Charlles, and I'm passionate about Japanese culture, especially the world of anime. Here, I share curiosities, news, and everything related to this world...

Today, we've brought you a list of the best anti-hero protagonists in anime ! They're completely different from traditional characters, carrying different ideologies and, most importantly, a darker personality. Now, without further ado, let's meet some of them:

Best Anti-Hero Protagonists – Top 5

91 Days - Avilio Bruno

05. Avilio Bruno: First, let's start with this short but simply fantastic work. So, to begin, it's worth mentioning young Bruno's revenge, which turned him into a very cold boy. Furthermore, his entire journey gives us much to reflect on, not to mention all the action the work provides.

Death Note - Kira

4. Kira: Now, let's revisit a classic! In fact, Kira's entire trajectory makes him one of the best anti-heroes we've ever seen. In the beginning, he always seemed very intelligent and unfriendly to everyone, despite trying hard to maintain a good-guy appearance. In any case, seeing him become corrupt and develop turbulent ideas was a fantastic story, especially against his rival L!

03. Nicolas and Worick

Here, we'll reminisce about this incredible 2015 anime. Because it features two protagonists with ideals completely distorted from the conventional. This is due to the sad and absurd past they endured in their childhoods. What's particularly striking is that Nicolas is deaf and mute, which makes him even more unique. Even so, he's still one of the strongest Twilight characters in the entire series.

02. Alucard

Hellsing - Alucard

Now, let's revisit this other fantastic work! It brings us the great Dracula in spectacular fashion. With a plot full of frenetic and bloody battles, the anime offers a surreal story where the protagonist is completely unlike any other.

01. Lelouch Lamperouge

Code Geass - Lelouch Lamperouge

And first and foremost, we have Lelouch, who stands out for his extraordinary genius. Furthermore, what stands out most is the ending of this work, which is extremely moving, iconic, and unexpected. Anyone who has seen it knows how harrowing and perfect it is. Therefore, I highly recommend watching this work, which involves war, mecha, and plenty of action!

Well, folks, that was our special list for the day. By the way, if you have any criticisms or suggestions, leave them in the comments and we'll respond. Until next time, and have a great week, everyone!
