Light's primary motivation for becoming Kira wasn't for Justice, it was just for boredom and wanting to become God. He isn't Anti-Villain material. And he isn't an Anti-Hero either. He's motivated solely to become a god.

His first killing? That was just testing the notebook. He was surprised it happened...and it gave him the goal he wanted. It wasn't noble at all. Light has no noble goals. All he wanted was to become a God. That's why he began killing people after the first time.
