4 years later and this scene has finally been officially animated. Both are amazing in their own ways
I honestly like this one more (though it misses the whole fear speech). I think this one captures despair better.
Imo, the anime is really currently failing at making the viewers feel the sense of urgency, desperation from this Invasion. It's like there's no weight behind certain scenes and actions.. Thanks again Retro for showing proper representation.
Cannot believe it, this animation is so close and real to the official one! Amazing work of art
Sadly some people say it's trash because it failed to capture the emotion and gore. Let's be honest Kubo was planning to kill Byakuya in the manga but the fangirls forced to bring him back that's why it's less gory in the anime and Jugram's line about Byakuya in the anime has been removed. Retro did adapt this accurately from the manga. While in the anime took a different approach.
@@justsomeguyworkingatmcdona6817 Honestly a Faithful to Manga Bleach Anime would be quite something.
@@Xylospring more like an expanded version for this arc is better. We need more insight from the surviving quincy like Uryu, more screentime to the Sternritters actually using their Quincy heritage and stats rather than relying on their schrifts, Nanao and Kido-oriented Shinigamis trying to make an anti-Quincy kido, Yhwach's use on Zanka no Tachi, more screentime to Unohana's true nature, and the Vizard's potential to be key players to counter the quincies
@@justsomeguyworkingatmcdona6817 I really want him to be dead this time, it would have make Rukia's revenge on As Nodt more impactful
@@grim6129 Yeah I heard the Tybw arc is supposed to be twice as long as the hueco mundo arc (235 chapters) Like 470 chapters. But this is fine since bleach has 52 episodes and each episode covers 5-6 chapters which is 54 additional new content of chapters. Because in the manga there is only 206 chapters. Hopefully the hell arc will be a masterpiece since Tite Kubo is not being pressured by the deadline anymore and can write at his own pace.
Giving this video one last respect before the Anime remakes it
You did one hell of a job holding us over.
I just watched the 5⁰ ep and now I gotta say, this version is Better than the anime version
@@lukashagen6878 I agree to be honest, this carries a bit more weight to it
@@lukashagen6878 fan made version made renji showed emotion and desperation to stop As Nodt. Also made byakuya getting hurt by his own bankai more brutal than the anime version. Tbh the difference is that the anime just added extra scenes that wasn't in the manga and just better animation.
You guys nailed As Nodts voice in comparison to the official dub. 👏🏽
*Bleach anime doesn't get rebooted*
Bleach fans: Fine, I'll do it myself.
Simple Archive maybe things like this will push them towards doing it. We can hope.
Just watched the official episode. I enjoyed it but I could definitely feel the impact of this animation more. Specifically when Mask sent Renji flying
The part of Byakuya being pummeled by his own Bankai feels more intense and dire here than in the official episode.
This arc was really brutal. This part is gonna hit different in the official anime..
Especially considering the possibility that the anime COULD have Byakuya stay dead. It is incredibly unlikely since it would kind of mess up the manga’s continuity, but since Kubo might be trying to make the arc as close to his original vision as possible (unless he really had no intention of killing him off for good), then it is still a possibility. I personally don’t care either way since I’m still going to enjoy this arc, but it would probably appease many of the fans.
Unless they censor the hell out of it, like when hiyori was supposed to get cut in half.
@@lotaryguy12 it’s confirmed that the anime will be airing late at night, which means little to no censoring (it at least shouldn’t be as bad as before).
Everyone will be back here in 7 days. Good job sir
I prefer this version of Nödt voice, it fits so well
As somebody badly wanting the TYBW be officially animated, I appreciate these fan-mades, much more with this quality. You guys rock!
@@lumberluc I don't know if you've already been informed but it was stated that the anime is going to air on the post midnight timeslots in Japan, meaning that the censorship is going to be minimal if not completely absent.
Congrats on being an animator for the official series
NO WAY YOU ARE A PART OF THE NEW ANIMATION!!!WOW, JUST WOW!!!!!
Can't believe that I've been here in the bleach fandom long enough to see fan animations at this caliber and then finally next month will also be able to see it come to life in the anime .
Now that it's been animated I can safely say you did a better voice acting for as nodt than the actual English dub
SO PROUD OF YOU AS SOMEONE WHO ORIGINALLY WATCHED THESE ANIMATIONS
So glad to see you animate on the official series man!!!! Thank you for making this video a part of Bleach’s history. You deserve it!!!!
This was beyond amazing. It's on par with animation studios even.
My hype for episode 1 is higher than it's ever been. Can't wait to see what's next :D
2Spooky Ikr? It really looks like it could be an actual anime aired on tv. It’s very high qualtity, and definitely the best i’ve seen out of any fan project. I am so hyped for episode 1, whenever it comes
This is way better than the original lol. So much depth in the details and transition between them. Oh and the angles and facial expression as well.
Who is here after the trailer fight scene
Me!! I started losing my shit when I saw the byakuya and renji scenes in the trailer lol
Dude whoever voice acts for Nodt needs to be put on the legit anime dub cause damn that was pain level bad ass voice acting right there 👏🏼👍
MarryJanesBud they should apply to be a voice actor for the anime return like fr fr
Thank you all for your kind words on my vocal work for him. It was alot of fun.
Hey congratulations for your involvement of episode 6 this is so far most hype episode ever thank u for your hard work ❤️❤️✨✨✨
Crazy how the voice acting for as nodt is way better in this then the actual dub😮💨😭💯
I was gonna say this after watching the dub but I saw your comment first Lmfao😂😂😂
This is amazing! Thank you for making this.
Fun fact: Byakuya was suppose to die after fight so Rukia can revenge for him BUT the fans were outraged so Kubo decided to keep Byakuya alive. Lol
And after Rukia released her bankai, ghostkuya appear from her back, guiding her to control her bankai, and maybe say something smoochie like how shes just like her sister
Its gonna Be Massacre When This Episode Will Aired Again...!#Bleach 2022
This image of Byakuya getting completely crushed by his own bankai mentally scarred me. Can't wait to go through it again in animation form
@@Phatnaru0002 dont remember being like that years back, I really hope they dont do that
Just came back from watching the most recent episode and honestly I still prefer this animated version of this fight over the official one. It just shows how great this animation was. Great job
@@smarty61997 Imagine making lots of other animations or focus on making this scene
@@nunorodrigues320 nope, the fan animation is more impactful and it is a fact. The official ones has the benefit of having more quality, but it does not evoke the same emotion of hopelessness.
The anime has an issue with delivering impact. This fan version depicts that much better. The sound makes the petals feel like razors, while the anime made them sound soft like feathers. The shots of Byakuya getting shredded were excellently executed, you get to see his body being torn apart, his body getting contorted, uncomfortably, moving so unnaturally, his hand outstretched in vain as he's being swallowed up by his own move. It's beautifully dramatic and excellently produced.
Also the music is far better fitting, making the situation more intense and with far more despair. Renji's scream has more intensity than the anime despite being a kinda rough take, the cruelty of As Nodt just feels more menacing than the anime, it just has a better production and better filmmaking decisions overall than the official version, which was just too quiet, too stiff in spots, and just not given enough dramatic flair to its subject matter. Even the gore was toned down to make Byakuya's bullshit survival more believable. I don't care if this was fan made, this did the scene better than the official work and that's good on you as far as I'm concerned.
The anime has been impactful af, a level of seriousness and urgency we never saw before in Bleach. This fan made edit was really good, but still wouldn't put it in the same realm.
@@RawNoLimits For this scene in particular, I would put it above the anime. Everything else, the opposite.
Tsk man These Ungrateful People🤦, in this reply comments Listen i know that what your expecting isn't the one that got granted but at least be Grateful to the Anime! And what do you mean it didn't show how hopeless the gotei 13 is in the anime I mean Bro the soul society literally became a Slaughter house! And look at anime reactions yt They literally Felt the emotions like me and some even Tear up and That's what you get for expecting it to be *Perfect* and Don't get me started on Mayuri's Speech about perfection. Damn these "Pro manga readers"
I agree with you 100% as somebody who watched and read bleach both over 3 times I agree 100% I made a similar comment on this video when this scene was aired
It's going to be awfully disappointing if a pro studio can't capture the emotions like this. Well done.
@@vitarlinhomedeiros4703 regardless if they do
Maaaan Twitter gonna go crazy 😭
welp... pierrot be cutting scenes left and right in exchange for some goofy ahh recap lmao
bleach can never recover if it goes like this
I'm disappointed the fans have to do the work for the anime. Your video was amazing 1 like earned.
Sd0t Webb
What the heck does a UA-camr have to do to earn one sub from you lol
@RARAYAYA RAA Actually we are. Its not your decision so don't attempt to make it
@RARAYAYA RAA Nice generalisation and projection. Just because you pirate everything you watch, doesn't mean everybody does.
@RARAYAYA RAA If i didn't pirate anime at first, i never would have started to pay for 2 anime streaming websites as i do now.
If next week doesn't live up to the despair and hopelessness at least we'll have this to look back on
Going back here after seeing the official version. God this fan-animation is SO MUCH better in every way. The music, the violence, the sense of dread, the power in Mask's attack, and most of all, As voice. Now THAT is an amazing adaptation.
The f***, this is seriously a fan made video? Dude, the animation was so damn clean I felt like how I did when I was younger, waiting a week for the final climatic battle between two characters and having my jaw drop from the insane action.
This is amazing Ryan. This has gone far beyond my expectations. You guys have done an awesome job with this. Episode one will surely blow everyone away.
Watching this 6 years later, and honestly this is gotta be the best fan animation i've ever watched!! The details you've put into this is really amazing and I love it!! ❤️
This was wayyy better than the original version 😮😮
This shit boutta go down in the next episode.
This is bloody glorious. Well animated. Top marks! You've got yourself a subscriber.
Damn I love the voice you gave As Nodt. It really makes him sound terrifying which is how he is supposed to be. Whenever I read the manga now, I’m gonna be imagining that voice for him
@@fromzero2shiro I’m half joking and half serious when I say this, but you should voice him in the dub when it comes out, if you are even capable of auditioning or something.
after watching the 5th episode of bleach thousand year blood war .... I can say how accurate the animation is even the voice is same ... 👍👍👍👍
but the one is english and other is japan but i hope this english voice actor became official
The quality of dub compared to the official dub is outrages, does viz even care about bleach at all????
The fact that this hasn’t gotten as much recognition as it should honestly kinda pisses me off. This is a well animated scene and the voice actors were also very good.
After seeing the fight officially animated, I still like this one more 😂
@@carloskingdomh no they over dramatisiere the fight. The lack of music, the blood and the details on the death scene where you can see his RIBS and ORGANS falling off of his torso is much better in its own way.
Wow, you captured the brutality of Byakuya's defeat far better than the manga does. This is epic
Amazing work on the official anime!
I think the studio took inspiration from this video to make the sky cloudy during this invasion, as we can see in the latest trailer. In the manga it's bright blue, happy sunny day.
Was that Byakuya's ribs and organs I saw at the end? Damn. lol
Yea, he was definitely not supposed to come back from that originally.
Don't forget the missing arm. Everyone loses an arm at some point during bleach!
Nödt actually said he disemboweled Byakuga in round 2. Though I thought he was exaggerating lol
After watching both animations, I must say I prefer this one. While the studio is truly nailing the animation artwork, they are failing to put a sense of true despair and desperation that I feel with this one and as for me, it has something to do with the soundtrack that they used. While I do feel that the music represent a very dire situation, it just fails to bring out that sense of desperation that the music in this animation does.
Also Byakuyas and Renjis body movements showed a more sense of urgency when they fought against As Nodt, for example when Renji screamed stop and how he was about to use bankai and was pushed by the bid dude with the star on his face (forgot his name).
And when Byakuya feel to the ground and was coughing and and breathing harder because he had truly been injured and then when As Nodt use Senbonzakuras full force to mince meat Byakuya you could see that Byakuya took stand again and was showing that he was never going to give up but then got Senbonzakura again and this time pushed to the wall. Also it showed more blood. That is why I feel that this animation did a much better job at brining out this sense of urgency, despair and strong emotion that the anime is currently failing to do. I feel the current animation is to bland when it comes the character body movements and showing their sense of despair and that the music is to much violin and not enough battle themed.
I agree wholeheartedly. The animation as whole in the official anime adaptation is pretty meh to me. A LOT of still images… not much fluid animation
I agree wholeheartedly my guy but unfortunately if you were to point this out our fellow Bleach fans will grill us😔😔😔 so unfair
@@305thief8 yeah bleach fans (crazy to say this bc I’m a big bleach fan myself) don’t allow any criticism lol. They have little man syndrome
I don't care what anyone says this scene was way better than the animation. As Nodt's voice and the music was much more fitting than the official animation it was such a let down that they didn't take elements from this video into consideration
Well I don't agree with the music and definitely not the voice part unless you're speaking of the Dub because the Subs voice is amazing and very fitting.
Now animation wise I agree, they could've done better but Taguchi(Director)DID say they were having production issues this cour and to no one's surprise... Kubo, Taguchi and Hiramatsu(script writer)have all said cour 2's animation will be much better 👀.
Still for Kenpachi Vs Unohana, Ichigo Vs Yuha and Yama Vs Yuha they snapped. Next season everything will be better though thanks to breaks🙏🏽.
Damn this is clean. When cuz grabbed Renji and kicked him, A+ my guy, A+
"Damn, I missed this movie"
"Damn, the animation looks great"
"Looks a little inconsistent; probably a different studio"
No, really. This fooled my like 90% into thinking it was professional. Awesome work.
@@justanothercorpse780 they cancelled the anime one arc before this one. Sad really
I'm so glad this isn't real, all I could think while watching this is "wow this looks like ass, this can't be real"
@@lyfeobserver I mean, yeah if it was a whole studio getting paid green money. I thought 80%+ of this looked great.
Same here hahaha I was thinking: "Duude, they changed their animation style and it's pretty cool now".
I’ll be honest I read this chapter before watching this and I never imagined this scene so terrifying/intense/dramatic. You have very good imagery and an even better ability to bring it to life on screen. I can only hope the animators could interpret these scenes this dramatic and have as good music effects and tone 10/10
This dub version of As Nodt sounds so much better than what we have currently. IMO.
Everything about this is awesome!!! I am so blown away by how wonderfully this was animated!! Voice acting was brilliant, and just everything so well done!!! :)
the voice acting performances were superb. The animation is way more than what I expected it to be Ryan. Thank you for actually executing the fight the way Kubo wanted to
I decided to look at the real episode in dub just to see how As Nodts voice would sound, and Jesus Christ the voice actor for the fan animation was so much better than the actual dub
One of the best fan animations and its even almost 5 years old , it even competes with real anime studios and it's quality is almost as good as tybw right now damn!
this is far better than what just came out today
Not only is the animation amazing, but you grasped the emotion perfectly, i really felt the sad and hopeless atmosphere here, simply amazing!!!
Holy crap! This is FUCKIN AWESOME!!!
And the voice work is beautiful. His dark, gravelly voice is haunting. Just added one more subscriber for this video alone.
It also makes sense for him, it's realistic.
I heard someone complain that As Nodt 'sounds like a smoker', but in terms of his physical condition, he is basically suffering the equivalent of that. His lungs were so weak that breathing on life support was agony for him, and he is incredibly tall and emaciated, both also detrimental to be. As is probably only still alive beause of his Quincy powers. Him sounding gravely and 'weak' is realistic. And of course, it has the added bonus of sounding bad*ss.
either next week or the week after ! Hope the anime version is this brutal.
It’s gonna be next week since this happens around chapter 501/502 and next weeks episode will cover 500-503/504
The animation is great, and the voices you chose are on point. Great job!
I cannot express how much this animation is good! This feels just like a real anime. I imagine how hard it is to create a few minutes of animation like this, so I thank you Ryno and everyone else that made this animation with all my heart. You guys are making us Bleach fans never forget why we love this series! Thank you for helping us keep the Bleach flame alive!
This version is more tension than the original. I was even confused which one is real 😆
So happy this was recommended to me before the anime returns. What ana amazing job you've done! Definitely showing this to all my bleach friends!!
WTF? THIS IS FAN MADe? I THOUGHT IT WAS ORIGINAL LOL
DesMonDLee24 it has shit voice acting I could tell it was fan made the second they started talking
pouty brat yeah they just sucking up too much
Although it is good tho
at first I thought it was original but when I heard renji's voice I was like really cuz you know AS NODT has not been voiced yet
can't wait to see what the anime is going to give, at worst we will come back to this video to complain and say that it's better ahah
Tsubomi I really really hope that doesn’t happen. They better pick up with the same quality that they left off with
They said that they would do their best to give us the best and seeing what they have done with the previous animations I'm hopeful
yea.. like seven deadly sins had a great animation in season 1&2 and after all the wait and hype season 3 announced and it was a big mess because of the studio change.
Hope that Bleach won't be the same case :)
RAZE I doubt that’ll happen to bleach considering it’s apart of the big three and is making a grand return, also aniplex bought the rights to bleach so they should get good treatment.
Ticklenut one piece is part of the big three and its anime was treated horrendously. Also, aniplex could outsource the entirety of bleach. Meaning, that even if they own the rights, a studio like toei, deen, or pierrot could still work on it. It’s also important to note that the producers know bleach has an extremely loyal fanbase, so they might make something subpar, knowing we’ll still watch it.
I’m so hyped for the anime version. Thank you for holding it down for all these years
You did a better job than the official animation in representing emotions, despair, tension, physical suffering!
Dang this was really well made. I can tell that you put emotion into this...and it shows. Always makes me sad to remember what happened to the anime...but i would watch your animation for season after season, not even joking. Good work
Am I still watching a fan animation? Because I'm in love with this already. Can't wait to see more.
To people who are complaining that the anime version hits way less emotionally than this one (and spoiler warning to those who haven't read the manga)
I assume this was done very much intentionally on the anime part (way less emotion, placed in the middle of the episode rather than the end for less impact) because Byakuya ends up coming back and they are intending to keep it that way (judging by Byakuya's appearance in the first trailer). And I don't exactly remember where have I heard of this, but when this TYBW fan adaptation was still in the works I remember they were intending to kill off Byakuya for good, which is why this feels way heavier than the anime one, which intends to bring the character back
They were but Kubo got so much backlash from people he even death threats sent to him.
It was so bad that Kubo decided to bring back Byakuya and he still got the same treatment there for bringing back after confirming he was dead.
So the Studio and Kubo decided not to make all "oh he should definitely be dead" because they are going to bring him back.
That's Why the Fan Animation "hits" different.
Honestly annoyed that he got the backlash.
It hurt to know he was gonna be gone, but theme wise it shone.
1:28 I was willing to bet the anime wouldn't hold a candle to this scene, and I (unfortunately) was proven correct...
Im so happy you guys like this. We worked hard to make this sound like the bleach I remember, and im almost crying for all the love and support this video is gaining. I had so much fun voicing As Nodt. Ill keep doing my best to bring you the best quality i can. Now lets here it for Retro and the Animation Team for bringing this amazing scene to life.
Ryan
Stuff like this is why you deserve every ounce of support you receive and more
much much more
I’ll be showing this to as many bleach fans as I possibly can
Thank you for everything you do
FINALLY this scenes getting animated in the next episode just a few days remaining! I honestly hope they do the battle justice and show how terribly hopeless and dark it truly is with correct ost usage as you did. As nodt voice actor better do justice as well
I ain't gonna lie like I love both the fan animation and the anime itself for putting their effort for bleach especially for this scene! But I feel like this fan animation made this scene more impactful and emotional, the music especially made it like the situation was a way to show despair!! I'm happy that we get to witness both of the scenes and I'm glad bleach is making it's comeback!!! So much love for the animators for the anime and fan animations!!
Waow. That was amazing. I admire you guys who could do such a difficult work so well. Like seriously the animations, the colors, voice acting, sound effects, music, everything is on point (especially senbonzakura who looks so perfect ! ).
Can't wait to wach the whole thing, congratulations to you all !
Man this is going to blow up once you release the eps and start gaining that momentum!!!
I felt more emotional this scene here than the anime. Really a very good job here!!
Well kubo was planning to kill Byakuya in the manga. That's why they tone the gore down a bit in the anime both are goated tbh.
When a fan animation is better than the actual studio that decides to never gives their fans the best arc of the anime. Bravo to you for doing us a justice.
SELTRIX115 it isn’t better than the actual animation but it’s still damn good
I know I’m incredibly late, but then waiting so long to animate it was probably for the best. Not only was it good to wait for the arc was over so that they wouldn’t have to add unnecessary filler, but they needed plenty of time to prepare for the production, such as gathering the right resources and talent for the job (including Kubo himself) and revising certain parts of the story if necessary in order to make this as good as possible (new scenes have already been confirmed).
Holy shit this is actually so amazing. Thank you so much Ryan and to everyone who worked on it
I still can’t believe that in 2 weeks we will get this scene animated in the anime after many years of waiting
And its gonna look worse than Ryno's version. Latest episode had poor animation.
@@TheWhiteRoom66 Are you blind? So much still shots and little animation. Compare that to Ryno's which just moves constantly
This is absolutely amazing! I'm speechless. Between the animation, the color palette, the effects and voice acting this is an absolute masterpiece. ;-; I'm almost I'm tears. This is absolutely incredible! Bravo! A job well done to you and everyone else in the team.
@Retro Ryno you did a fantastic job with the animation. I remember reading this chapter when it first came out I was really sad and upset. Byakuya is my all time favorite character in Bleach! I have other characters that are my favorite but they don't come close to Byakuya's coolness. Thanks for posting this!
Got me hyped for the actual thing, great vid man
Thank You Tite Kubo for creating Bleach. It has touched me in different ways. It's one of the best ever created. I look forward to seeing the final Arc of Bleach. You are truly gifted.
When I watched this the first time I didn’t realize how beautiful the animation and character designs were and pretty much everything else damn this looks just as good as the actual Anime Excellent Job you deserve way more Subscribers.
fun facts: ryan white aka ryno is now animated of bleach tybw
came back to watch this in anticipation for the fully animated tybw arc, still holds up incredibly. Well done man
BRO THIS IS THE MOST COOLEST FIGHT EVER THANK U FOR ANIMATING THIS FOR US BLEACH FANS RETRO RYNO
THIS HAS TO BE THE BEST BEST BEST fan made video ever holy shit
Who’s here after watching episode 5 of TYBW?
THIS IS SO GOOD WHAT THE HELL!! The animation is amazing!!!
Thank you everyone who helped me in this video, I've worked my ass off everyday for the last month and a half on this.
If anyone would like to make a video of them reacting to this, by all means, I enjoy watching people's face when they see my animations, it's my reward almost.
Please consider supporting my patreon, videos like these are extremely hard to make, and I can't keep it up without more support. I hope everyone had a Merry Christmas, and I look forward to making more videos for you all in the upcoming new year. Love you guys.
