Thanks for sharing! This was a very interesting read. I agree villains should be complex and relatable whenever possible. *Remembers getting stink eye from BritLit prof when she dared to ask why Wickham was so bad*
In Bleach, the lack of back story with the top espada is particularly frustrating to me right now. It wasn't always that way. I long harbored hopes that Kubo would begin to peel back the implied layers there. I'm still hopeful that he will, but he is taking so long to get there that I'm becoming more bored than interested in their actions. Maybe with some more challenging adversaries -- VIZORDES!!! -- we will get some depth soon. He did have to let the SS captains fight them I suppose, so I guess that is an good excuse for the fight fodder.
Gin a Type 2? He has always seemed more in the batshit insane category to me. I'm not expecting a redemption from him. *Hugs for Matsumoto*
