I don´t know what genre this anime would fit best, but whatever. The anime I´m
searching for is about a guy who leaves his village with 2 friends, another
guy and a girl. They get separated and he searches for them. After a while the
guy ends up in a town without money and decides to sleep on the street.

  * A young lady drives by in a carriage and offers him to stay with her family in their mansion. The whole family seems pretty nice at first. 
  * While staying with them the mansion gets attacked by a group of people trying to kill the family. 
  * The guy protects them. during the fight the girl of the family runs to some kind of shack. Inside the shack are the 2 missing friends of the guy. 
  * They´ve been tortured, it turns out the family captures and tortures people they think are worthless and the group attacking them are the good ones. 
  * The guy confronts the girl why she did it and she said they were worthless and it was her right to kill them. 
  * She also said that the female friend of the guy had more beautiful hair than her and that she couldn´t allow her to live, that she had to be punished. 
  * They kill the evil girl and the guy joins the group in their quest to change the situation in the town.

akame-ga-kill
Looking for the name of an anime about a guy who leaves his village with 2 friends


Sounds like [**Akame ga
Kill!**](http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/encyclopedia/anime.php?id=15919)

Synopsis from ANN:

> Tatsumi is a self-acknowledge country bumpkin who is nonetheless a well
> trained fighter. He and two companions leave their remote village to head to
> the Imperial City to find a way to relieve their friends and family from
> ruinous taxation imposed by the authorities. Yet the Imperial City is filled
> with unimaginable amounts of corruption and evil from supernatural sources.
> Tatsumi is immediately swindled after reaching the City and nearly loses
> everything soon after, but finds himself allied with an unlikely group of
> assassins.

Your description matches the plot summary from
[Wikipedia](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Akame_ga_Kill!#Plot) quite well
(emphasis mine):

> **Tatsumi is a fighter who, accompanied by his two childhood friends, sets
> off to the Capital** in search of a way to make money to assist his poverty-
> stricken village. **After being separated from his friends** , Tatsumi not
> only fails to enlist in the army, but is swindled out of all his money. **He
> is then taken in by a noble family who offer him help, but intend to torture
> and kill him, just like they did with his friends and dozens of other
> people.** Tatsumi is rescued by a group of assassins known as Night Raid,
> and is invited to join their ranks.

I haven't seen the series myself, but this seems to match most of your points,
particularly Episode 1 of the anime.

> Tatsumi heads for the capital despite warnings about the area's dark nature
> as he needs to raise money for his village. Shortly after arriving, Tatsumi
> is robbed by a woman and has to sleep in the streets. However, **he is
> invited to the manor of a young rich girl named Aria, who takes pity on him.
> As he waits for his best friends, Sayo and Ieyasu, to arrive in the capital,
> Tatsumi learns of an assassin group named Night Raid** , whose members are
> wanted for numerous murders. **One night, the group appears and starts
> killing Aria's guards and her parents**. Tatsumi faces off against Night
> Raid member Akame, but their duel is interrupted by Leone, the same woman
> who robbed him; she reveals to Tatsumi that **Aria and her parents has
> tortured several people from the countryside, including Ieyasu and Sayo** ,
> the latter already being dead. Tatsumi kills Aria just before Ieyasu dies
> and Leone, impressed with Tatsumi's ability to kill mercilessly, invites him
> to join Night Raid.
