Nowadays, an [[Anti-Hero]] is usually thought of as a [[Badass]], [[Silly Rabbit, Idealism Is for Kids|bitter]], [[Hates Everyone Equally|misanthropic]], [[Blood Knight|violent]], [[Sociopathic Hero|sociopathic]], angry person (see [[Nineties Anti-Hero]]). However, this is actually a recent invention. For much of history, the term ''antihero'' referred to a character type that is in many ways the opposite of this.

== [[Anime]] and [[Manga]] ==
* Shinji Ikari from ''[[Neon Genesis Evangelion]]'', who saves the day several times in spite of all the mental problems.
* Rock (and Benny) from ''[[Black Lagoon]]''. The same can't be said for the other members of the Lagoon Company, though, who are pretty much [[Villain Protagonist
* Nozomu Itoshiki of ''[[Sayonara Zetsubo Sensei]]''. AKA Mr. Despair, he is constantly attempting suicide and angsting about the most ridiculous of things. Interestingly, he isn't an example of [[This Loser Is You]], as he's very good looking, intelligent, and comes from a very wealthy (if bizarre) family. In fact, the irony of his character is that he acts the way he does despite having these advantages.
* Tatsuhiro Satou of ''[[Welcome to The NHK]]'' is a highly unstable NEET who places all of the blame for his highly unstable life on a conspiracy organization known to him as the NHK.
