The next Necromancer is Melascula from Nanatsu no Taizai. She is a member of a elite demons group called Ten Commandments. She also has the expertise to control spirits and raise the dead.
However, Melascula's abilities also have limitations. She could only awaken those who had strong regret, hatred, and anger in his lifetime. In addition, she also still has other techniques that make it difficult to fight.
6. Keyes – Fairy Tail
Keyes is one of the demons created by Zeref as well as a very powerful member of Tartaros. He has a scary face like a skull. In addition, he has the skills as a reliable necromancer.

One of the unforgettable moments was when Orochimaru raised the First and Second Hokage. He was able to control both of them to fight Hiruzen Sarutobi in a very intense and thrilling battle.
1. Ainz Ooal Gown – Overlord
According to my perspective, Ainz Ooal Gown can be said as the best necromancer in anime world. He had a very frightening face and aura. In addition, his strength was very overpowered.
Ainz can raise a large army of undead aka undead to fight under his orders. He is also able to control very strong and difficult undead, such as the Doom Lord and Elemental Skull.
