Not many crazy anime girls can leave us completely feeling amazed and excited. They are not afraid to dish out a good dose of vicious acts. A lot of these female characters don’t shy away from destroying everyone’s favorite characters and act out all batshit mad as hell. Let’s just say most crazy girls are just complicated! Some are obsessive psychos, while others come from abusive backgrounds and all they need is love!
Below are thirty crazy anime girls so don’t say we didn’t warn you to stay away as far as you can.
1. Motoko Minagawa from Fruits Basket
The president of Prince Yuki Sohma’s Fan club, Motoko is obsessed with Yuri. She regularly writes crazy love poems and often targets girls who she feels would steal her Yuki away. At first, she was a comical character, but in season two we get deeper into her crazy side. Motoko constantly tries to undermine Tohru who gets too close to her crush Yuki. She might come across as bullying Tohru, but I think it’s just how most kids deal with jealousy during high school, they go crazy. In my book, it doesn’t count weird in any way, but most folks would disagree.
2. Saya Kisaragi from Blood-C
Saya has both a fake personality and an actual normal personality. Initially, she is depicted as a friendly and cheerful teenager. However, the series takes her on a crazy path and her carefree personality turns distant. Saya at some point does not care for human lives. She only wishes to drink their blood but is unable due to a contract she made with an unidentified individual.
3. Yomi Satsuki from Katana Maidens: Toji no Miko
The third-seat member of the Elite Guard, Yomi seems practically incapable of showing emotions. Her pale design and emotionless gaze are a dead giveaway of her twisted nature. But, there are other layers, the anime showed that she put her powers to useful deeds. There is not much known about Yomi’s capabilities, except for the fact that she can summon Aradama from her body by cutting her arm with her sword.
4. Hange Zoe from Attack on Titan
Hange, aka Hanji, is an eccentric scientist. She is in charge of researching Titans, and the brains behind some of the anti-titan weapons, coming up with lethal inventions like the thunder spears. However, behind her glasses and her usual cheery nature, lies her crazy personality, Hange is a psychotic girl! It showed when giving a crazy smile to Djel Sannes, telling him of the horrible pain Hange was going to cause him for what he did to Hange’s friend, Minister Nick. It continued when Hange smiled and sarcastically joked with Sannes during his torture at Hange’s and Levi Ackerman’s hands. Seriously, there’s something wrong with this girl!
5. Shouko Kirishima from Baka to Test to Shoukanjuu
This top student is crazily obsessed with Yuji Sakamoto since childhood and acts possessively toward him. She is crazy to the point of frequently stabbing out his eyes to prevent him from seeing other girls’ underwear! She is also applying locks and chains while they are together, using a handheld Taser if he is being ‘unfaithful’ to her. Shouko even attempted to submit a marriage certificate to the civil registrar, which didn’t work since they are underage. Despite being tricked by Yuji multiple times, she still believes they belong together, and even decided on their children’s names.
6. Rebecca Lee / Revy from Black Lagoon
Revy is a beautiful purple hair mercenary with a loud mouth and a few anger-management issues! She is a rude woman, without a conscience, ready to kill anyone at the slightest incitement.

7. Yuki Takeya from Gakkou Gurashi!
When you look at this Yuki Takeya all you see is an angle. However, she has a secret, she’s suffering from a mental disorder called Psychosis.

However, when she meets Sato, who suffers from severe social anxiety, and realizes he is a lot more pathetic than she is, she decides to help him. Despite Misaki’s usual joyful appearance, she is depressed, lonely, and suicidal. In the manga, Misaki is seen as a crazy girl, and even manipulative, but in the anime, she is more well-behaved.

The loli girl needs to take a chill pill. She will do anything to raise her value in the eyes of her superiors. Tanya is a sophisticated sadist, but her way of thinking got her to the top, making her one of the youngest generals in anime history. Oh, and her psycho faces compete only with Kakegurui.
11. Kaede Kayano from Assassination Classroom
Kaede is seen by most characters as just nice and easy to get along with. However, there’s a lot of craziness behind her plain exterior. In truth, Kaede seeks to avenge her sister’s death and most of her cheerful personality is a facade to blend into the background. She completely hid her bloodlust from her teacher Korosensei for months, all the while planning to assassinate him for murdering her sister. When she finally revealed her true identity and nature, nobody could even come close to seeing similarities.
12. Shiki Ryougi from Kara no Kyoukai
Shiki has a merciless personality. She comes from an ancient clan that often develops supernatural abilities. In her case, she has two ”male” and “female” personalities, both aware of the other, and both the same crazy person with different qualities. She appears to care about nothing and has a strong impulse to kill, which gives this swordswoman a sense of living.
13. Lucy from Elfen Lied
Lucy has a split personality she has at least three personalities called Kaede/Lucy, Nyu, and the DNA voice. Lucy is Queen Diclonius, an evolutionary offshoot of the human race.

She is a resident of the Deadman Wonderland prison, and she’s one of the most vicious killers in the whole place. She has a sick love for torturing, or as she calls it “punishing”. Hibana does have a strong sense of justice. However, it is corrupted, as she believes that she is truly a good girl when she has good manners. Keep in mind that most seven-year-olds are still refusing to eat their vegetables!
21. Junko Enoshima from Danganronpa
Junko is your stereotypical high-school ‘crazy girl’ blondie-pigtailed catty bitch. She is very apathetic and easily bored to an abnormal degree. It doesn’t mean that she doesn’t feel emotional pain and despair herself – on the contrary, she revels in it! She wants to suffer, she wants to make other people suffer, and she wants to share that suffering. That’s exactly what makes her such a great character.
22. Lust from Fullmetal Alchemist
As an epitome of the sin of lust, Lust represents the worst twisted characteristics in people. She’s both bloodlust and deep twisted sexual lust. Lust is not human and doesn’t understand humans. Maybe that is why she is notably crazier than her siblings. She takes distinct pleasure in torturing her enemies and making them suffer. Also, she uses her charm to set people against each other, trick them, or get information out of people.
23. Ragyo Kiryuin from Kill la Kill
Ragyo enjoys domination, lusting for power over the world. Her goal is to give it to the Life Fibers, sentient parasitic organisms of extraterrestrial origin.

24. Shion Sonozaki from Higurashi No Naku Koro Ni
Shion Sonozaki is a crazy yandere who kills two ten-year-old kids, and puts nails through a boy’s fingers! And if this isn’t enough, she tries to choke her sister and eventually does murder her. She also killed her grandma, locked her sister in a cage, and took her place. Yep, we’re dealing with a monster. Did we mention this green hair girl also tortures all of these victims in various horrifying ways?
25. Kaguya Otsutsuki from Naruto
Originally a good and caring person, after consuming the fruit Kaguya Kaguya had grown tyrannical and developed both a god-complex and messiah-complex. Corrupted by the power she lost her faith in humanity and started making white Zetsu using her people. As a result of her losing faith in humanity, Kaguya opted to use her terrible power to submit everyone to her will.
26. Clementine from Overlord
Clementine is a bloodthirsty, twisted crazy girl who is obsessed with torture and murder. Once a member of the Black Scripture, she defected and became affiliated with the evil cult of Zurrernorn. She tends to laugh at other people’s misery, regularly killing everyone around her with no remorse and an inhumane feeling of ecstasy. She even makes fun of villains who feel they need a reason to be evil, declaring that she just kills people for her enjoyment. Clementine also enjoys collecting trophies from her victims and adding them to her armor.
27. Yuno Gasai from The Future Diary
Yuno most perfectly fits the characteristics of a crazy Yandere. To the point that when we think “Yandere” it’s so easy to think “Yuno Gasai”. She is evil, delusional, obsessed with one specific person, and will go to any length to be with this person, to the point of killing his loved ones and even harming/manipulating him. And it’s not played for laughs. Yuno is seriously messed up, you go to love her for that!
28. Himiko Toga from My Hero Academia
Himiko is the type of mad girl that is “addicted” to blood. She also mostly does not notice nor care about the person she’s killing and sometimes smiles after having killed someone.
She’s good at wielding a knife and does not hesitate to stab a person anywhere. Her quirk makes her have an affection for blood, and want to drink the blood of the people she loves. Instead of relinquishing her crazy quirk, she embraces it, which makes her a villain in the pure evil League of Villains.
29. Ophelia from Claymore
Claymore is as cruel as they come. She has an undying thirst for hunting, killing, and striking down anyone she calls prey. They will break a person’s spirit down to the last fragment and then finish them off. Ophelia may at first come across as being light-hearted, but this only serves to disguise her truly unstable nature. She genuinely enjoys the thrill of battle and delights in mutilating her victims in the form of twisted “games.” Like many characters from Claymore, Ophelia is one who’s had an unfair life to put it lightly. However, this hardly justifies her bloodlust.
30. Esdeath from Akame ga Kill
She may have white hair but Esdeath is dark to the bone. To put it bluntly, a manipulative cold woman. She lives by her father’s simple belief, which is that the strong survive and the weak die. Even when her comrades died, she accepted they were the weaker pair in a brutal world. Esdeath just totally lacks empathy for people whom she deems weak and enjoys torturing her enemies. It may seem cruel but to her credit, she has at least demonstrated genuine care for her subordinates.
