Bleach Anime Question

Does anyone really think Aizen is a good villain?

Alright, so this is another rant, but I must say I've been severely disappointed with him for a while now. Let's list off the ways in which he was badass at the beginning, and then ways in which he's dramatically changed to become an exceedingly awful character.
So the reasons he was good:
1) The "I've outsmarted you" type of villain is great! He was sitting in the 13 protection squads for an exceedingly long time with few if any people suspecting him. He faked his own death, and proceeded to do everything he wanted for a long time after that to set his plans in motion. That's amazing!
2) He was always one step ahead of his opponents. His sword gave him the ability to do so, but it was more than that. Hueco Mundo is attacked, so he traps the attackers in there. He goes to the fake Karakura town, only to be heavily prepared for the onslaught there (more on that in the bad section). This is a guy who isn't messing around.

So the guy started out pretty good, and even late in, I thought there was something amazing about him. So let's start off with the trivial "I'm uncertain with what he was doing here" things:
1) Alright, so Hueco Mundo is attacked by misfits (i.e. Ichigo and crew). What's his response? "Sit in your rooms and let them rampage." WHAT THE HELL?! I can understand he wanted Ichigo alive, but given that amazing opportunity, why not simply capture him and kill all of his friends? If he really wanted to test Ichigo's strength, why not kill off all of his friends and have him go stir crazy?
2) So he attacks Karakura town with the knowledge that the real Karakura town is in Soul Society. We already know that he had 2 former captains with him, and that all 3 of them probably had access to a senkai gate (hell, even if they didn't, a garaganta would work). Why not go to the fake Karakura town for a while, distract the people there, and send his 3 "best" espada to Soul Society, where there are no captains and Karakura town is ripe for the pic
*
king? Am I missing something here? Alright, so those are all issues, but they could have been explained. Perhaps he thought the espada in Hueco Mundo were too important to risk. Perhaps he wanted the espada to die at the fake Karakura town for a specific reason. Now we get to the horrible parts: 1) The espada die. Nothing happens. Wow, a lot of hype there over nothing. Apparently, the top 4 espada were pansies who were nothing more than cannon fodder used to accomplish...nothing. Maybe to weaken some Soul Reapers he could dispatch on his own with no trouble, but that's about it. What a waste, and a badly planned waste at that. Where's that intellect, Aizen? 2) So then Aizen reveals that he has the Hougyoku in him the entire time. What's the use of talking about how amazingly brilliant you are if you're obscenely powerful? He could have an IQ of 40 and still be able to make short work of people with that kind of power. What's the use of touting intellect if he's just going to go straight to the power trip? 3) So Aizen shows up in the real Karakura town, looking stranger by the minute with Ichimaru in tow. Ichigo is nowhere to be seen (doesn't show up for quite a while, actually) and the best defense they have is a no-account Soul Reaper with an afro and perhaps the worst character ever conceived in this series (Don Kanoji). He's been itching to make the King's Key, and yet he decides to follow this group of Ichigo's friends around for a while. Granted, he might have been waiting for Ichimaru to try and kill him, but considering his main goal was to make the damn King's Key, can anyone explain why he decided that following kids around was a good plan? I know it's a long rant, but these are some pretty glaring problems with the main villain of the whole series. Yet despite all this, if we really considered Aizen to be the insanely powerful, insanely smart villain he was supposed to be, can anyone explain why they'd put a time limit on his prison sentence (20,000 years seems rather arbitrary)?

because shinigamis are lawful, and the law of the soul society is: one does so many years in prison for a certain criminal act. Aizen would have been condemed to execution, but he's immortal, so...

I don't suppose he actually ever deemed himself immortal, he just said he stood above the boundary of shinigami/human and hollow...plus the only reason he was able to survive from Muegetsu was the fact that his incredibly fast high speed regeneration was durable enough to bring him back from the brink of death.

Really now? Any particular reason that this supposedly "best" anime villain didn't screw things up for himself over and over for no particular reason?

yeah, he screwed himself over by allowing everyone to live and made little to no killings himself to assure that they were dead.
he definately fooled everyone, but that was about it. the rest of his plans had nothing going for them and the end result was a simple punishment of 20000 years...geez, yeah, i suppose he started as a good villian, but that ended right there.

Think about it, all that time sealed up and he could be planning to escape, plus the ratio of human life to shinigamis is incredibly low.

I think Aizen really didn't give a fuck. He was playin "the song that gets on everybodys nerves". Just going about making everybody pissed off. Aizen was a talker, that what he did best. There wasn't really any action in his part. He was a puppet master. He did really fight anybody, he got others to do it for him. The Espada were just something he could use. I think he rounded up the Espada so that the soul society would get all worked up. I think he just wanted a show.Also the Espada are ranked on the strenght not on their fighting ability.(Starrk didn't even like fighting and wanted to go back and go to sleep) As far as the King's Key goes i think that was a lie. beacause he used the Hougyoku to turn himself into a hollow thingy.(i liked the moth thing, he looks like a fairy! lol) But In Chapter 422 after Ichigo was done fighting Aizen. Ichigo was telling Kisuke that maybe Aizen was sealed because he wanted to be. That Aizen really didn't want the power of the Hougyoku. And just wanted someone to understand him and meet him on his level.(i know that sounds really cheesy) Aizen went a little crazy in the end, mad with power maybe. But i think he did everything he truly wanted to do and prove.

As far as his sentencing...I think thats a joke. 20,000 years is like 20 mintues for someone who will live forever. Central 46 needs to get a grip. Rukia was sentence to death and she didn't even do anything! ( I know Aizen was behind that sentencing but still. And this is an all new Central 46 because the last group, Aizen killed all of them.)

As far as your Question...Is Aizen a good Villain?

I say yes. He did what he wanted, he hurt ppl/messed with everyones minds. He got things done his way. He was lookin out for the one and only, himself.He was sneaky. He showed the weakness of the 13 court guard squads. He out smarted everyone. He had a plan for everything. He kept you wondering about what was his next move what was he gonna do next.

I really want to know is what was Aizen's True motive?
Life times of planning that turns into nothing. There has to be something more to what he was doing.

But ya i think Aizen is a good Villian. And you know what they say. Bad guys never win.

So true. That's all I have to say.

I agree that you make a good point, the trouble is that I can't understand the connection between "he does a good job being evil in all that he does" and "he's a good villain." Simply "being evil" isn't good enough to suffice as a villain. He certainly was smart (at least for a while) and he certainly was strong, but nothing came together for him, ever. He seemed to almost force himself to fail in grand fashion. Case in point: he gathers together the espada (taking a lot of time and energy to do so), and they utterly fail him in every way. What was the point? To scare Soul Society? I find that hard to believe. Aizen seemed to have more in mind than spreading fear. I agree that the main question is based in what his actual plan was, but I can't conceive of a plan that he was actually executing well. Even if the plan was for someone to stop him, it seemed like he spent more time stopping himself than anyone else did. Who knows? Maybe the author has thought up something that I can't conceive that would bring the tattered bits of his story together, but I'm having a hard time believing that at this point.

A lot of characters that aren't "villains" are hated by everyone in various shows. You're not a villain just because you garner other people's hatred. You're a villain because you commit certain acts that make you evil. You try and kill everyone, you try and conquer the world, etc. Accomplishing all that, especially against amazingly difficult odds, makes you a good villain. Even doing most of that, or getting foiled on the brink of victory by something amazing that the good guys have can still make you a great villain. Difficulty is that he practically foiled everything on his own.

Yeah, that was Aizen's flaw. I remember in Bleach: Diamond Dust Rebellion, Kusaka said that he would be the ruler of the Soul Society and Old Man Yama said something along the lines of, "That is impossible..." and I was about to scream, "no it's not! so far he's done half as good as Aizen!" meaning if kusaka had set his mind to it, he could've become a good villain...i think i just got off topic...

Come on. In ep 20, he hurts Momo just when he made momo feel happy again and don't forget he did blame his death on Toroshiro, an inocent captain and Momo's best friend. Even for him thats low.
