Antagonists/villians in anime (Redux!)

I wrote this essay a little while back, and considered posting it in this community for a time.  I'm not sure if it's on-topic or not, since while Bleach was what inspired me to write it, it doesn't directly deal with the series all that much, instead only makes references to it from time to time.  If it's off topic just let me know, Deb, and I'll happily delete it.  ^^  People have been writing some world-class essays recently, and I felt guilty reading all of them without contributing something unique of my own, so I hoped I could at least offer this much. 

That said, The reason for my writing it is this:  I'm often approached with questions regarding my reasons for demanding depth from the espadas and arrancars of Bleach.  Fairly often, I here rationales regarding how they're "just bad guys who died because that's what bad guys do" and that "there's no need for them to be deep or significant."

Now, obviously, I'm a fanboy, and as such I have a strong predisposition toward villians, but I have deeper reasons for wanting my villians complex, I promise!  I'm not sure how many have already read this, but I hope it gives at least a few people an example of my way of thinking.  

The formatting screwed up when I tried to post it on my journal, so for this incarnation I went with the barest minimum of formatting to keep the text as regular as possible.  My apologies for the boring layout.
