Best Anime Villains?

[ragre]

I'm sad nobody has mentioned these:

The Millenium Earl (D.Gray-Man)
Tyki Mikk (D.Gray-Man)
Crocodile (One Piece)
Enel (One Piece)
Bartholomew Kuma (One Piece)
Father (FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood)
Anti-Spirals (Tengen Toppa Gurren Lagann)
Byakuran (Katekyo Hitman Reborn!)
Claire Stanfield (Baccano!)

And that's all I can remember off the top of my head.

I think about this a lot for some reason. Here's what I consider the best villains in anime:

Griffith - Berserk - Holy shit, I love Griffith. Is he even a villain!? He definitely wouldn't consider himself one... His true motivation is seemingly obvious and yet... not. Without a doubt, one of the most intriguing characters in fiction.

Makoto Shishio - Ruruoni Kenshin - Sure, he's not exactly three dimensional, but he's always interesting. He's a cold, calculating one at times; and other times, he's friggin psychotic!

Spoiler :

He also goes out in a blaze of glory and sets out to conquer hell itself. BADASS.

Aizen - Bleach - What an arrogant prick. Yet, he was a dynamic character that really made Bleach... special. A seemingly omnipotent tactician who is also a great actor.

Spoiler :

I'd like to pretend that the end of Hueco Mundo never happened, and that he didn't get Deus Ex Machina'd out of existence like a total scrub, but whatever.

others:
Father, Wrath, Envy - Fullmetal Alchemist: Brotherhood
Johann Liebert - Monster
Medusa - Soul Eater
Priscilla - Claymore

Jessie and James from Pokemon.

They were essentially the prototype Isaac and Miria, and just like Isaac and Miria, made every scene 100% better just by being there.

im gonna go with
Zombies from High School Of The Dead... OR
Koichi shido < --- he is creepy and EVIL

[CodeZTM]

Mikuni from Money of Soul and Possibility was probably one of my favorites. Although his "villain" status might be disputable.

[ibabrak]

For me it would be Lelouch vi Britannia from Code Geass.

I know two of these have been mentioned before, but they bear repeating. Plus the last is one of my all-time favorite insane baddies.

Aizen (Bleach)
Father (FullMetal Alchemist: Brotherhood)
Dilandau Albatau (Vision of Escaflowne)
