We understand this is mostly from a comedic oriented anime, but Akira is creepy in her own way, but of course by no means in the horrific definition. Akira represents the ideal girl. She’s rich, cute, and academically gifted. Little do we know, she’s actually an expert at gaming, most notably Street Fighter II. The fact that she’s a good gamer isn’t what makes her creepy, but how violent she can act. As we already stated, it’s meant for comedic effect as to how she acts violently towards Haruo but that’s just the tip of the iceberg. What makes her creepy is that she DOESN’T speak! The fact that she only communicates through violence, grunts, and gaming while making strange expressions is one way to explore that there is some creepiness to her personality.

In comparison to a majority of the villains from My Hero Academia, Himiko is pretty much the same age as our heroes and due to her being a villain from such a young age, is just the beginning as to why she’s so creepy. So, what qualifies her for this list? When you look at her, she looks like any regular girl since she wears a regular school uniform. In many instances of Japanese pop culture, the uniform can be seen as an outfit for heroes, but Himiko’s presence pretty much perverts that notion with her role as she wears it along her blood sucking machine and equipping herself with knives. What ultimately makes her creepy is that she’s always smiling and she just has a twisted idea as to what love is (we don’t need to get there). Further amplifying her creepiness is the nature of her quirk where she has to suck blood of a person in order to take their appearance.

If anime had the equivalent to 1984 and Brave New World, but taken to the extremes portrayed in anime, it would certainly be Shimoseka where porn is more or less banned, and sexual thoughts are repressed (yeah, like banning porn in Japan could ever happen). The daughter to those who wish to have such legislation enforced is Anna, the president of the student council. Little do they know, is that their girl is a yandere. All of that changes when she incidentally shares a kiss with Tanukichi, her childhood crush. From there, things start to go cookoo when her repressed sexual feelings start to come out. Her love becomes obsession and it goes to the point that she makes Glenn Close’s character in Fatal Attraction look like Barney the Purple Dinosaur.

Mafuyu looks like the ideal girl you could’ve had back in high school (or if you’re presently in high school, she might be that ideal girl). She might come across as the ideal school girl but behind all that, is one twisted perverted girl. When it comes to Shuugo, the boy she has a crush on, that’s when the gloves (well, more than the gloves in which you’re free to use your imagination) come off. We don’t know about you guys, but how would you feel if some girl started stealing and sniffing your undies? When caught in the act, she’s ballistically in denial about it as her personality goes from Dr. Jekyll to Ms. Hyde. On a superficial definition, that’s pretty much why she’s creepy.

Compared to a large majority of the characters on this list, Akame is more of an anti-hero as opposed to being a force of evil, or the criminally insane. There is no doubt she’s a skilled ninja but her upbringing has corrupted her. If you could take Teru Mikami from Death Note, John Kreese from Cobra Kai/The Karate Kid, and put it into a ninja girl, then you get Akame in a nutshell. When it comes to facing her opponents, she’s all about the no mercy life (forget about sweeping the leg, you better get the body bags, yeah!) as she screams as she kills people. The fact that she’s willing to fight by refusing promotion partially shows she enjoys being on the field not just for the sake of having her friends’ backs, but for her to go out and slaughter because she’d be bored working behind the scenes.

Unlike most of the other creepy school girls on this list, Midari isn’t afraid to hide it as she’s pretty open about her personality, nor does she try to put on a sweet girl act. Considering the nature of her school at night (in which it becomes a casino), she feels right at home. When it comes to masochism, she’s certainly the queen of it to the point that Pinhead from the Hellraiser movies would give her what she’s looking for. How far does she go to “pay her debts?” Without hesitation, she cuts out her own eye for the student council president! Beyond that, she enjoys playing Russian Roulette. As long as there’s risk in it, as in bodily harm to the point of life and death kind, she’s game! This is enough to tell you how creepy she can get.

As legendary comedian Norm MacDonald once said in a Pokemon segment in his short lived sitcom, he once told a boy who was convinced he was Ash that he has to know the difference between reality and fantasy. In his words, a good way to remember that fantasy is good, while reality is bad. However, Re:Creators certainly challenges that saying in numerous ways. In this, where characters from anime, manga, games, and visual novels manifest in the real world, Magane is probably the most vicious and creepiest of all the villains. In the original novel she comes from, she killed her entire school! Forget her demonic design with her pointy chin, snake-like eyes, and olive skin tone, it’s the fact that she can manipulate people through lies is what makes her creepy. Out of all the villains, she’s the only creation to actually kill innocent people and she went as far to create her original creator! Besides her murderous actions, what is it that ultimately makes her creepy? It’s the fact that when she tells a lie, she can make it true thus bending the rules of reality. Not only can she bend reality, she can also summon monsters!

Though this respective character only has a few brief moments as she appears in Attack on Titan, her impact is undeniably huge (no pun intended). While the Colossal Titan was our introduction to how terrifying the titans are with the power they possess, it was through this Smiling Titan, that devours Eren’s mother, that truly demonstrates how they can be creepy. Yes, she may not be as big and powerful as the Colossal Titan, but that smile as she takes Eren’s mother as she casually eats her with no other sense of emotion just says it all. Destroying the wall is one thing, but eating a defenseless mother with that smile is truly traumatic.

Coming in at a very close second is Satou from Happy Sugar Life. All we can say is this isn’t an anime you should judge by its cover because once you watch it, you’re probably going to need a lot of therapy no thanks to Satou. On the outside, she looks like a cute and cheerful anime girl, but once you get to know her, somebody should call the authorities on her because she needs to be institutionalized! As in lock her up and throw away the key kind (or submit her to a lobotomy)! Her affections for Shio is certainly taken to obsessive extremes that will likely creep you out. If yandere could be in an English dictionary, her picture would certainly be in it! Due to her upbringing, she has a twisted idea on what love is. How she expresses her creepiness in regards to her love for Shio in some ways can be “triggering” to those that have been victims of stalking and/or abusive relationships so if you haven’t seen this anime yet, if in the event you do watch it, we encourage you watch with full discretion. For that, we’ll leave it there.

We could’ve gone with Tomie and we understand if most of you think we should have, however we have to give it to Fuchi. Compared to Tomie who is more of a shadow character despite her beauty, Fuchi, despite how terrifyingly ugly she is, she puts herself out there and actually has a modeling career! Forget the fact that she’s already creepy to look at, just like most J-Horror ghouls and goblins, she’s not afraid to kill people by devouring them! If you dare tell her she’s ugly or look at her the wrong way, then expect your picture to show up on a carton of milk. Besides her creepy looks, tall frame, and piranha-like teeth, she really has no superpowers to suggest she’s of the supernatural but the fact she eats people should be more than enough to explain. If you’ve read the manga featuring this character, then you know what the anime features is merely just the prologue of how creepy she truly is.

Kaede Fuyou is that sweet girl who just loves cooking for you and taking care of you. She’s so nice and caring that she makes the perfect roommate. Or so it seems… Deep down, Kaede is actually one of the craziest yandere girls ever. Don’t let any other woman come anywhere near you in her presence or you’ll both fear the consequences.

Kaede is Rin Tsuchimi’s childhood friend and she’s been living with him ever since their parents died in a car crash. Kaede is not really evil or a deceitful witch like many of the other girls on our list. In fact, she’s a total cutie pie most of the time. The thing is, Kaede is so obsessively in love with Rin that she may experience psychotic breakdowns with violent outbursts whenever other girls are around him. Although, however dangerous she may be, the creepiest thing about her is the psycho face she makes when she’s about to snap. That look with her eyes wide open is your queue to run like hell.

Everyone knows Rize Kamishiro as the sexy she-ghoul who died trying to eat Kaneki and ended up becoming his organ donor. Rize is actually much more than just that (although we don’t underestimate the importance of donating organs). Seriously, Rize is one of the most wicked and vicious ghouls out there, and that’s saying something.

Rize is so creepy that she’s not satisfied by just eating people alive. This sexy ghoul needs to psychologically torture her prey like she did with Kaneki, making him fall for her before biting off a piece of his shoulder. Rize doesn’t just feast on your flesh; she also feeds from your fear and she loves watching you try to run for your life while she prepares to taste your insides.

If we’re talking about creepy girls then we definitely need at least one vampire girl on our list. Vampire Princess Miyu, also known as Miyu Yamano, is a creepy little vampire who looks like an innocent 13 year old girl but who’s actually much older. Despite being a vampire, Miyu isn’t really evil as one would expect. As a matter of fact, it’s her job to hunt down evil demons known as Shinma.

However, Miyu is no saint herself either. She can be quite dark and sinister; after all she’s still a bloodsucking demon. Although Miyu has mainly good intentions and she chooses her human victims very carefully, from time to time she enjoys playing with human lives. Being an immortal demon, Miyu has no empathy for humans and she may even let people die in front of her. Do not let her good girl image fool you; this vampire lady can get quite scary.

Shion Sonozaki is one of our favorite psycho killer girls. She’s Mion Sonozaki’s identical twin, which is already quite creepy. Sometimes these two girls switch places and it can get rather disturbing not knowing whether you’re talking to the fun and cheerful twin or to the one that may kidnap and stab you to death.

That’s right, Shion Sonozaki can get a little berserk sometimes. Whenever she gets extremely upset, she may experience psychotic episodes that drive her to kill people in the most wicked and horrifying ways. And as if the killing part wasn’t scary enough, Shion also laughs like a total creep while she’s at it.

Misaki Mei is by far the sweetest and most adorable girl on our list, although that doesn’t change the fact that she’s creepy as hell. She’s been scaring the hell out of everyone at school since day one; it’s no wonder why the rest of the students refuse to talk to her. The first girl to die on Another (in that epic death scene at the stairs) actually died after being freaked out by Misaki’s mere presence. But how can this cute and seemingly harmless young girl be so scary?

We don’t want to spoil anything in case you still haven’t watched this awesome show, but the reason why Misaki Mei is so creepy is because we can’t tell whether she’s dead or alive for most of the show. Weird things happen, no one but the main character can talk to her at first, she sits on an old deteriorated desk and she wears an eye patch for some mysterious reason. Everything about her makes us think she might be a ghost and that she brings death to everyone around her, although we keep constantly questioning that idea, which is also why this show is so great.

This is where it starts to get really creepy. Since we’ve mentioned Sadako (the girl from The Ring; “Samara” in the American version), the next particular anime girl comes right to our mind. Palm Siberia is a hunter with a particularly unsettling look. She has long scruffy dark hair, very pale skin and she’s usually seen wearing a long pink dress. Besides, she emanates a dark and frightening aura caused by stress.

Despite her very disturbing look that makes us think she’ll pop out of the TV and take our soul when we least expect it, Palm is actually a nice woman with warm feelings towards Gon. Of course, as her super creepy appearance also implies, she’s not exactly the sanest girl ever. Palm has a rather volatile temper and can even experience violent and psychotic outbursts. Yeah, other than that, she’s pretty normal…

And since we’re talking about temperament (no, we’re not bringing Trump up. That’d be way too creepy) and violent psychotic outbursts, we obviously have to talk about the yandere queen, Yuno Gasai. Yuno is by far one of the creepiest and most frightening girls in anime, mainly because she’s totally unpredictable. Just when you think you’ve seen her craziest and most psychotic side, you find another skeleton in her closet (sometimes literally).

Yuno is capable of absolutely anything in order to be with the target of her sick obsession, her lovely Yuki. She would go as far as drugging him and kidnapping him; hell, she would even kill him if that allowed her to be with him. But still, Yuno’s creepiness goes even further than that. What makes her truly creepy is her bipolarity and how she changes from a sweet loving girl to a psychopathic serial killer. That and her crazy eyes; those can really freak you out!

And now we enter the realm of the really spooky. Ai Enma is a creepy little girl who dwells in a world of twilight. She is known as Hell Girl because her job consists on taking the souls of her victims directly to Hell. It is said that you can reach her on a website at midnight (what are they doing next, Youtuber demons?) and type the name of the person you hate so that Hell Girl comes to take their soul.

The story may sound a bit like a cliché, but Ai Enma is an awesome and really creepy character. She has been delivering people’s vengeance for over 400 years already. That is Ai’s punishment for unleashing her own hatred against the people who killed her and burned their entire village to cinders. Seriously, how can so much hatred fit in such a little girl?

Of course, one vampire girl is not enough to make a good list of creepy anime characters. That’s why we also have the sexy yet startling Megumi Shimizu. She’s one of the creepiest and most vicious Shikis around. Megumi is a bloodthirsty demon capable of such monstrous acts as killing her friend’s father.

Megumi hates the villagers so much for not accepting her eccentricity in life that she enjoys killing them and making them suffer. Although she enjoys creeping into boys’ rooms much more. Megumi is still a girl after all, and as such she is attracted to hot young guys like Natsuno, whom she loves to stalk. Megumi is the kind of vampire girl who can come out from under your bed when you least expect it to give you a surprise you’ll never forget…

And finally we have the creepiest ghost girl in the history of anime. Sachiko Shinozaki is the run-for-your-freaking-life kind of girl. She was murdered by the school principal in such brutal way that she cursed the school, and even after several generations her ghost still haunts everyone in it.

For a 7-year-old girl, Sachiko is a tiny bit more sadistic and gruesome than you’d expect. She enjoys watching people suffer both physically and psychologically, and she can get really creative with the ways in which she tortures, mutilates, and murders her victims. Sachiko loves hanging people as much as she loves slicing, slashing, and eviscerating them, although quite often she will just settle for poking her victims’ eyes out with her weapon of choice, a pair of scissors. Yup, Sachiko is indeed scary as hell, and you need to have guts to face her (literally).
