Slayed the dragon, is pure of heart, gets the girl, etc. An anti-hero may take uncouth routes to get to a heroic ending. Maybe questionable, unorthodox methods used. So if I understand, the anti-hero would "save the day", but do it by mayhem\villainous methods (without much regard for the guilty or innocent bystanders)? in some cases. but some cases an Anti-hero may not be so extreme. these are my thoughts on the term, though. i'm sure other posters may have input to share.
