Anguirus did nothing heroic at all. If Anguirus had defeated Godzilla, he would have done the same thing Godzilla did and rampaged through Japan. An anti-hero, despite not being outright heroic, usually has good intentions in their own mind and is the lesser of two evils. Anguirus was just as villainous as Godzilla. Both monsters were very territorial, saw Japan as their territory, and were willing to fight each other and destroy anything in their path to prove so.

Anguirus in Godzilla Raids Again is by no means an anti-hero. Anguirus had the same intentions as Godzilla. He was a threat to humanity just as much as Godzilla, and the only reason he wasn't the primary villain of the movie was because Godzilla beat him. To be an anti-hero, Anguirus would have had to not only win the fight, but then leave humanity alone and go away. If he had won, he would have just started destroying things like Godzilla.
