There is 'Hellsing'. The vampires in this anime, especially Alucard, are the main focus. They are violent and often go against what is considered 'good' in normal human society. Another anime is 'Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood' where some of the antagonists like Father have elaborate plans that are harmful to the world, and their stories are explored deeply. Also, 'Black Lagoon' shows the story of a group of pirates who operate in a very violent and lawless way, and their actions and motives are part of the overall villain - centered story.
One great anime is 'Death Note'. The main character, Light Yagami, starts as a seemingly ordinary student but then becomes a sort of 'villain' as he uses the Death Note to kill those he deems unworthy in his quest for a new world order. Another is 'Code Geass'. Lelouch, while having noble intentions at first, uses very unethical methods to achieve his goals, which can be seen as villain - like behavior at times. And 'Psycho - Pass' also has elements of exploring the minds of those who are considered 'villains' in a dystopian society.
Sure. 'Joker Game' is an anime that tells the story of a group of spies during World War II. These spies often engage in morally ambiguous actions, which can be considered villainous from different perspectives. Then there's 'Baccano!'. It has a bunch of characters with their own motives, many of which involve crime and violence, and they can be seen as villains in their own stories. 'Durarara!!' also features some characters who have a rather dark side and are involved in various underworld activities.
I think 'Overlord' is a great one. The protagonist, Momonga, is an undead overlord in a new world, and his actions and the way he rules his territory can be seen as villainous in the eyes of some. 'Akame ga Kill!' also has some interesting villain - like characters. The organization in the anime, such as Esdeath, has cruel and power - hungry motives. Another good one is 'Kabaneri of the Iron Fortress'. The Kabane are like villains, and the story also shows how some humans can turn into something close to villains in the face of survival.
There's 'The Unknown Villain's Tale' in the 'batman villians oc fanfiction' realm. This story focuses on an oc villain who has a hidden past that is gradually revealed throughout the story. It's interesting because it shows how this new villain's motives are shaped by their past experiences, and how they interact with Batman and other characters in Gotham.
Another one is 'Toradora!'. The main characters Ryuuji and Taiga initially seem like an odd couple. Ryuuji is often mistaken for a delinquent because of his looks, while Taiga is a small - tempered girl. But as they help each other in their respective love pursuits, they gradually fall in love with each other. It's a very heartwarming and comical love story.
One great anime about storytelling is 'Spirited Away'. It tells the story of a young girl, Chihiro, who enters a spirit world and has to find a way to save her parents and herself. The film is filled with rich characters and a complex, magical world that unfolds in a very engaging way.
Sure. 'Your Name' has some really beautiful scenes that could be considered as anime pictures of a love story. The moment when Taki and Mitsuha finally meet is both touching and visually stunning.
Another one could be 'Spice and Wolf'. In this anime, the relationship between the traveling merchant and the wolf - like deity Holo has romantic undertones. Their interactions as they travel together and face various challenges are quite interesting.
One popular anime with a guy's love story is 'Your Lie in April'. It tells the story of a piano prodigy, Kousei Arima, who has lost his ability to hear the sound of his own playing after the death of his mother. Then he meets Kaori Miyazono, a free - spirited violinist, and gradually a beautiful love story unfolds between them.
One anime that could fit is 'My Love Story!!'. The male lead Takeo Gouda is a big, tall guy. His love story with Rinko Yamato is really sweet. He is kind - hearted but his large stature has made him feel self - conscious in the past, but through his relationship with Rinko, he grows in confidence and they have a very pure and loving relationship.
There is also 'Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood'. The two brothers in this anime, Edward and Alphonse, embark on a journey of self - improvement, facing numerous challenges and learning important life lessons, which can be seen as a great example of an 'anime meisei story'.
'Sailor Moon' can also be seen as an Anime Joi Story - like anime. Sailor Moon and her friends are on a continuous journey to protect the Earth from various threats. Along the way, they learn about themselves, their powers, and the importance of friendship. The series has a strong sense of progression and growth for the characters, which is characteristic of a 'joi' story.
