An Anti-hero is a person whom is potrayed as neither good nor bad. Or does bad things for good reasons. For example in the case of Death Note Light Yagami is a college student who beleives justice is everything. One day he gets a death note and desides to punish the criminals of the world to make it a better place. He was a hero in the way that he tried to make the world safer. But! He was a villian in the he would kill anyone in the way as well as criminals. And his rival L who was seen as the antaganist of the series was really in modern day views the "Good Guy" He was trying to stop Light(or "Kira") To save everyone. Another example is the character Nathan from Repo! the Genetic Opera. In the future surgery has become a big thing. Repo men are made to take back organs if the patient hasnt payed. Nathan is a repo man who is supposedly "The Best" but when he was hired to "Exterminate" family he couldnt do it. That and he also was keeping his daughter sick and weak so he could keep her inside and safe from the outside world.
