There's no real problems watching the anime first if you want to. Plus it has a great soundtrack, save maybe the opener, that really helps the mood of the material.

It's been a while so correct me if im wrong, but didnt he rape Casca so she would have his demon baby which was used to reincarnate himself with its body
Dat character depth.
Johan from Monster as others have said. He is arguable one of the greatest villains of any anime, tv series, or movie.

Yup, I also think he was jealous of Guts.

He's fighting more for his convictions than outright villainy, and we later see more scummy characters in G.
Raoh is definitely a villain you can sympathize with. He's got his agenda which is not inherently evil, he just wants to be the greatest dictator in the world

I haven't seen a shounen villain as pure as Frieza. His evil comes from pure racism and that racism ultimately is fueled by fear.
He literally commits genocide. And the fucker keeps coming back.

This. Just...fucking this. Mainly because I used to work for a Japanese game company and had to somehow maintain deadlines with a whimsical shitbag like this just flopping around and moving goal posts. This guy legally murders workers through overwork in Japan and no one ever thinks twice about the trail of carnage he's left behind.
How I didn't murder my boss who was like this is one of my greatest mysteries...This character reminds me of that boss so much if I see this character on screen I start breaking things(good thing I have a lot of pencils and chopsticks...)
Taro Takanashi is on his way to causing similar levels of carnage. The 3D vs Hand Drawn debacle shows he's got the incompetence it takes.
This is one big reason I really got into anime. Hence I love all the following:
Like to add:
This series has some of the greatest characters, ever.
Friend/Tomodachi, 20th Century Boys.
Urasawa Naoki is a brilliant creator. Monster certainly took it up a notch after this series.
I never expected that manga to end the way it did. Still love that series.
Him growing a conscience meant instead of killing and eating everyone he would put humanity in a zoo and use what was necessary as cattle. And that was after he fought Netero.

I wouldn't say "best" in any matter. But this little piece of shit,
Louis El Bridget from Freezing was such a horrible...thing that I dropped the entire series after his arc. Just looking at his goddamn face literally makes my stomach churn. Why? Well...
- After moving into his family, Louis beats and tortures stepsister and female lead Satellizer El Bridget.
- He later moves on to molestation, getting only a slap on the wrist when caught doing it.
- In a later story arc centered around him, he does all the above to Sattelizer. Multiplied by 100. He also rapes other girls in his spare time.
- At the climax, he gets pushed off of a cliff into the water. Inexplicably, Satellizer rescues him after all the torture, rape and brainwashing he put her through and puts him in the hospital.
- Only THEN do we get a flashback of his stupid sob story in an attempt to make him more sympathetic.
- He finally leaves the hospital, completely forgiven, unpunished.

These guys.
Braiking Boss from the original series is very intimidating and powerful. Forced a lot of people to retreat and even Casshern had a hard time dealing with him.
I'm glad to see another fan of Casshern here, specifically the original 1970 series & the 1990's OVA.

I don't understand how this guy is considered to be one of the best villains. Speaking personally, he never did leave an impression on me when I had watched Monster.

He tainted the child. It's still Guts and Casca boy. I dont think he did that because he foresaw the need. He did it because he wanted to. Like the Idea tells him before "Do as you will".

Lots of good ones here: Hamdo (seriously, screw that guy), Johan, Griffith, Light (who I may actually have despised more than any other fictional character ever), Kyubei, Gasai Yuno, Shogo Makishima, Squealer...
I'd like to contribute one I don't think has been mentioned:
This asshole. Koemushi (dung beetle!) from "Bokurano".
Granted, the manga version of him ends up being somewhat different and slightly more redeemable, but...man, what a total jackass. He was doing the whole Kyubei thing "before it was cool".

Always wanted to watch Casshern. Is Casshern Sins any good? Is it a remake or something?

butterfly monster that only wanted the Hogyoku to become more powerful. I had been hoping for ages that he'd drop truth bombs on Ichigo (preferably after an Ichigo beatdown) relating to the Soul King, because while watching the series I thought it was pretty clear that Soul Society was corrupt as fuck and everything outside of it was basically slums. My theory was that Aizen was just kinda insane but ultimately had good motives - to use the King's Key to enter the King's Realm in an attempt to save Soul Society.
But no. He was just power-hungry.

Though Sensui is great I still think Young Toguro is more based. Thanks for reminding me of him!
I dunno why though, but Younger Toguro reminds me of someone...
Harry Mcdowell was a great villian. That ending ;___;
The series completely discards the continuity presented in the original Casshan anime series, in which Casshern was a cybernetic superhero battling the evil robotic forces of Braiking Boss, & instead presents him as a cyborg subordinate of Braiking that was ordered to assassinate the savior of mankind and has thus doomed the Earth to ruin.
As far as production values go, it is visually pleasing, but I otherwise didn't much care for it being grim-dark for the sake of it. You will fare much better with either the original 70's series (despite how primitive it looks) or the 1990's OVA 'Casshern: Robot Hunter'. Also, there was a sweet Gatchaman OVA produced at the same time, which I also recommend watching for the action set pieces.
Griffith is up there. The best thing is that his story had a very satisfying conclusi-oh...
Already mentioned, but King Hamdo is another great villain. Some baddies are guys you "love to hate" or even if they're evil, they have a cool factor about them. King Hamdo is not one of those characters. There is nothing neat or inspiring about him. He is the worst kind of person. You would not wear him on a t-shirt.
