Tenma and Anna Liebert, and undeniably one of anime's greatest villains: Johan. Despite the huge cast though, there are only 2 women who get any screen time, Anna Liebert and Eva Heinemann, and only one of them is
likeable (its Anna).
Dr. Tenma and Anna are more than loveable enough to root for, all in due to their strong moral resilience to the decrepit world around them. They don't interact with each other as much as you'd expect though, since most of the time they are
caught up in their own separate storylines.
Johan, on the other hand, is perhaps my personal favorite anime villain. He gets progressively more and more terrifying as the show goes on. He is able to meticulously manipulate everyone around him to carry out his murders. His backstory is slowly revealed to us in the perfect manner such that we only ever slightly able to understand his motives and reasoning. Every step forward we get to understanding Johan, the light in the tunnel only moves backwards. You never know what he is planning on next, before it is too late.
That's what I mean, it's not important for this to even feel like a school. Jabami is a gambler so that's all there needs to be in this school.
The sad part is, for how much they
make this revolve around this one character, they failed at making her look good. Seriously the way she "gambles" is so stupid it would only work because the plot said so, I mean really really REALLY stupid to
where it's boring to watch because the only way for her to win is "because plot" each and every time. There are no mind games, no deception or clever maneuvering like the show advertised. It's just Jabami is awesome, she wins the world! Bow before your ultimate waifu!
The other characters in the show are there to make her look good. Mary is the lancer/rival type who exists to lose to the awesome Mary Sue. Ryouta is the damsel in distress that needs to be saved. etc.
