Kaneki's a pretty good example of an anti-hero because of his perspective. He's a person who was forced into a role that he didn't want, and he's trying to navigate it as best he can, but his personal morality is flexible and doesn't really take a stance larger than protecting a select few people when all is said and done.

If the story was centered on Amon, we'd have a conventional hero who elected to fight what he considers evil with a straightforward, unwavering moral compass, and whose mission is to preserve ideals instead of only things that have personal importance to him.
