An anime that features a guy ripping apart creatures with chainsaw blades coming out of his arms and head for the promise of eventually getting laid: for women
There are PLENTY of shows for men, women, the entire family, but takes like this get the response from all, fuck off tourist!
The only way I usually see an 'evil' entity 'winning' in anime and manga is if they are as I like to term, a passive evil
An example of this is Sadako Yamamura from the Ring series, so long as you don't view the tape or make someone else watch it you're fine, any other interaction and you make it worse and even more powerful. This is 'fuck around and find out' territory of DON'T enter the off-limits building, don't summon a demon etc.
A lot of these stories staring manipulators usually end with them either dying, suffering or getting left behind in some karmic way. Not something manipulative bitches want to be reminded of.
Dying/suffering/etc are not necessarily in opposition to "winning". Code Geass has a couple examples of people who suffer/die/etc, but who would define the end-state as a win. Even evil people. Evil is allowed to accept their own death as a worthy sacrifice to change the world, same as Good is.
I would say there's a good subsection of "Evil" that is allowed to win, beyond horror entities: Nihilists, the suicidal, and though less often also manipulators. Kafka dies laughing madly, pleased as punch at not only his destructive works, but also the works of the heroes killing him.
The key isn't in whether evil gets the W or not, the key is in whether the audience likes the evil character. Manipulators generally speaking are a projection of the author onto a villain, and thus get rather harsh endings to them, for certain, but if the author and their target demographic aren't opposed to the idea (either a manipulator protagonist, or just like the manipulator as a side act) they can often pay off their karma pre-emptively in backstory, or through active payment in-story, and still get a positive ending (Redo of Healer comes to mind, paying the karma in episode 1 to do whatever he wants in the rest of the story, and women gush buckets for that psycho).
True but I usually class those as 'revengers' as the author builds up a revenge story to justify their 'vengeance' or they paint the world as 'sick' and only extreme measures can be used to correct it. How much people love the 'evil characters' does impact their karmic returns, just look at Overlord, despite ALL the stuff Demiurge has done, he's probably getting off Scott free with some medal.

Laughs as someone who read ahead...
