Theres got to be a character thats just fucked up. Theyre going to do messed up shit because theyre crazy. Theyre unpredictable. Theyre rarely good but might think theyre doing well.

I lose interest when theres no characters like this. (Yanderes are a good example)

Well if you haven't already watched Invincible (also on Amazon), that would be right up your alley.

I think you'll be hard pressed to find that kind of character in anime though. You may like Overlord, but I don't think the MC believes he's a good guy lol.

Vegeta didn't become a good guy until he killed himself. Though him being unpredictable was just lazy writing to push the story forward (helping Cell reach perfection and turning Majin to gain more power to fight a revanant)

Dying in Dragon Ball is a fucking joke.

The anime is ass if you played the VN. I'd recommend getting the VN even if you don't fare about yanderes.

I'm sorry... I think it's your use of Homelander as an example that's throwing me off. To me, he doesn't fit any anime archetypes, at all. Homelander is a whole different brand of crazy and I have been loving every episode of the Boys.

I know asking for a generally crazy and violent character in anime is a tall order....

Again Light or ANY yandere is just really really hard to think of...

And evil superman is so so unique as well....

Yeah I can't think of any other unhinged character that gave me anxiety when he's on screen. It's even worse when he's alone with another character.

Here in Japan, my English-speaking friends told me to watch the Boys because Homelander's just unmatched in crazy.

They were not kidding holy shit I love him. His actor's so damn good.

Eh anime usually convey's them more like the Joker than anything. You can tell they're unhinged, but they're largely just fun to watch villains.

Homelander, though... That guy almost makes my heart stop every time he's on the screen. I must've seen 200+ anime at this point and NEVER felt like that with a character until Homelander x_x

Hes just hamming it up or just being a jerk or an annoyance in most cases.

Whats his kill count anyways? Not very high. Light or hiro trump him by a large margin....

If you're talking about Inuyashiki, you just lost all credibility. Out of every anime character you could pick, lmfao if that's one of your first 20 picks.

He doesn't even make the lists here in Japan for favorite crazy animation characters. Holy shit dude and you haven't even mentioned Johan Liebert yet. No self respecting fan feigning knowledge on psychotic anime characters would leave him out.
Never speak about anyone not watching much or understanding anime ever again.

Unhinged anime characters, and no mention of Johan Liebert... That's unheard of and sad from any anime aficionado.

This is actually what makes it more endearing

^moreso than this. Kill count doesn't matter nearly as much as portraying their mental state through dialogue, facial cues, and interactions with the world.

But for a self-proclaimed anime fan who doesn't know Johan Liebert, I can see why you wouldn't know the difference.
Btw if you do know him and still didn't add him, then lmao what "credibility" you have.

Well... here are some anime that I remember had Yanderes/Yangires:

Baccano
Deadman Wonderland
Gunslinger Girl
Bungou Stray Dogs
The Future Diary
Black Clover (but it's one of the villains several arcs in)
My Hero Academia

Yeah, it kind of sounds like TC's the actual one who hasn't watched much anime >_>

Johan Liebert is typically the first on well-versed anime fans' lists. And for good reason: he's probably the closest to making the viewer feel like they do watching Homelander since the writing/animation ACTUALLY portrays unhinged tendencies beyond just murder.

Oh yeah, Monster had some very unsettling moments in it. One of my favorite of all times. I won't put him on the spot by saying his name, but I actually tagged a certain CEman as "Hates the anime Monster" so I'd never forget the blasphemy that came out of his mouth in an anime topic lol.

Monster got boring. I guess i should go back to it but it hits such a slow boring spot so many episodes in. Strong start followed by a slog. Im guessing the ending picks up but like not a lot happens and or its later or theres a lot of talking yet nothings really happening.

In any case i wouldnt list them as like top crazy for anything......
