It's so interesting to see ansem interact with normal people like the twilight kids. It's like he doesn't know how to interact with them cuz hes so used to people like sora lol
It felt very tonally off tbh. Like one of the most powerful antagonists in kh is just chucklefucking about in twilight town and getting pestered by random kids.
I believe this comment I saw on Reddit sums up that interaction perfectly “Ansem is a performer. Xemnas got all the crazy over complicated Spirograph plots, Ansem got the theatricality Every single thing Ansem says and does is part of a script, he accounts for everything, even Riku telling him to get a life and go home in 3D, but he had absolutely no fucking clue Hayner and co even existed, so when they so brazenly start to fuck with him and interrupt his big, grand monologue disparaging AnsemTheWise, which he’s been longing to do for an age, he’s tripped up, seemingly for the first time in his existence (note this is the Ansem from the end of KH1, he’d have no memories of CoM and if the rules are taken as they’re written he shouldn’t even remember his encounter with Riku in DDD) so it causes him to channel his inner Terra a bit”
@@flamesaber3223 Quite possibly Square Enix thought he cost too much and went for the cheaper option. Given Ansem looks like a 30-40 year old Xehanort, Billy Zane actually sounds like he'd fit better between Benjamin Diskin's young Xehanort and Leonard Nimoy's elder Xehanort.
I liked having Richard Epcar voicing Ansem because I enjoyed hearing him voicing Raiden from Mortal Kombat 9 to 11. And I also wanted to see a Mortal Kombat actor voicing a Disney character.
The Ansem that appears at the beginning of Reverse/Rebirth is DiZ in disguise. The Ansem still alive within Riku, the true Ansem, doesn't show up until the defeat of Lexaeus.
Also ansem from kh1 is vastly different from current ansem. Back then he was this "all knowing" man of insurmountable knowledge. Now hes... just ansem? Lol
Richard Epcar is incredible as Ansem! He gives Ansem so much personality. It's what made him my favorite character. He also sounds a lot like the Japanese voice actor. My favorite lines: Riku: "I'm not like that anymore." Ansem: "Yes, you are!" XD
Also I think at the beginning of the keyblade war when xehanort was speaking to the guardians of light, I think terranort should’ve been there instead of vanitas. Terranort is a xehanort, vanitas is not.
I really tried to adjust to Epcar's interpretation of Ansem but I just prefer Billy Zane. Not saying Epcar is a bad voice actor or even that his Ansem is bad, it just doesn't fit the character as much as Billy Zane's performance imo.
Some fans have theorized ansem and xemnas even master Xehanort were in a way helping sora to help guide him to his destiny I believe they were helping guide sora to use the power of waking and lose himself which is very sad and horrible but that I think was Sora’s true destiny and it happened at the end of kingdom hearts 3 so it only makes sense to me it’s what makes Xehanort a great antagonist to me he is one of my all time favorite anime characters/antagonists ever!!!
That made me laugh but it's actually kinda sad. Ansem just didn't care enough to put up a fight. He knew they were going to lose again so he didn't see any point to put up the effort.

Check out the Re Mind cutscenes that feature Ansem here: ua-cam.com/video/2ZKL1EqLJCU/v-deo.html
Make an apprentice xehanort video
He doesn't get talked about enough
Personally I think hes very interesting

Hearing ansem and xemnas speak as one is unnerving to say the least....
There's legit points here where Ansem and Riku manage to have conversations that are 90% just "Darkness. Darkness? DARKNESS!"
Yes. They are pawns of The Darkness. They are alien but arrogant, so
*D A r K N E S* ssssss ??!???
There is more to seek... so go forth now, and seek it!
Always liked this character so much
12:36 “The British are coming.”
Goodbye Ansem you will be remembered in our memories and our hearts
How ironic
I wish Billy Zane stayed as Ansem... Literally one of my favorite voice-acted characters.
yeah, me too
When I met Billy Zane, he said that he had no idea why he was replaced. Granted Richard Epcar is not that bad as Ansem or Xehanort's heartless

Unpopular opinion: I actually Like Richard Epcar's Ansem.

Still such an amazing deep voice.
the cut to black with all the battle sounds was a good idea. cheers bro

Oh hi Raiden, when did you get here?
Also ansem from kh1 is vastly different from current ansem. Back then he was this "all knowing" man of insurmountable knowledge. Now hes... just ansem? Lol
Keep in mind that during KH1 he was still posing as Ansem the Wise so thats the excuse for why.
He's just darkness the seeker of darkness
Darkness is his favorite word isn't it
Soraa!!! COME BACK, SORAAAA!!!!!!

I think they did that because Vanitas needed to summon the Unversed for that upcoming battle but yea I agree
Vanitas is a Darkness. All the Xehanort's are a Darkness. Yellow eyes.
Terranort had to be a surprise so Ven would run over to him later, leading to the whole “Terranort bodies everyone” scene lol.
All begins and ends in darkness.
Billy Zane is da best ansem
10:30 And that's how Roxas was born
I really tried to adjust to Epcar's interpretation of Ansem but I just prefer Billy Zane. Not saying Epcar is a bad voice actor or even that his Ansem is bad, it just doesn't fit the character as much as Billy Zane's performance imo.
50:44 Terra?
Yup
Why does Ansem cast shadows like at 37:03, but not during End of the World in Kingdom Hearts?
Is he Riku's wicked evil dad?
More like evil uncle
So.. am i in the minority when i say billy zane was THE BEST voice actor for ansem???
I believe most of the community thinks that XD.
Stop toying with riku right now
1:06:51 😅😅 wow another Mr. Crab 😅😅
why remind me ansem at 15:10 on Ocelot form MGS
Could someone tell me what song is playing in the intro?
That’s simple and clean lol. Just piano only
Love these “all scenes” videos! You do an excellent job! Thank you for sharing your love of Kingdom Hearts to the world!
🤍🌙
33:13/33:14
27:38, 30:12
DIZ.
1:05:22 am i thinking s**t or i'm just seeing Ansem and Xemnas want to help/understand sora for his future or i'm just wrong 😅😅
Some fans have theorized ansem and xemnas even master Xehanort were in a way helping sora to help guide him to his destiny I believe they were helping guide sora to use the power of waking and lose himself which is very sad and horrible but that I think was Sora’s true destiny and it happened at the end of kingdom hearts 3 so it only makes sense to me it’s what makes Xehanort a great antagonist to me he is one of my all time favorite anime characters/antagonists ever!!!

Too bad KH3 made him actually stutter at a fat teenager . Like..no...just no
LOL what?
That made me laugh but it's actually kinda sad. Ansem just didn't care enough to put up a fight. He knew they were going to lose again so he didn't see any point to put up the effort.
Nah, he knew he didn't stand a chance against Pence. He was scared and rightfully so 😆
I mean hes never had to interact with civilians up until that point so i can see why he acts that way
He's been practicing his Darkness speeches so much that holding a normal conversation is hard for him
