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. -Ryan (Edit: Shoutout to 2Spooky for buying me pizza during production

4 years later and this scene has finally been officially animated. Both are amazing in their own ways

Cannot believe it, this animation is so close and real to the official one! Amazing work of art

Giving this video one last respect before the Anime remakes it You did one hell of a job holding us over.

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.

As somebody badly wanting the TYBW be officially animated, I appreciate these fan-mades, much more with this quality. You guys rock!

This arc was really brutal. This part is gonna hit different in the official anime..

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

The part of Byakuya being pummeled by his own Bankai feels more intense and dire here than in the official episode.

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

I prefer this version of Nödt voice, it fits so well

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 .

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.

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!!!!

Everyone will be back here in 7 days. Good job sir

NO WAY YOU ARE A PART OF THE NEW ANIMATION!!!WOW, JUST WOW!!!!!

Congrats on being an animator for the official series

SO PROUD OF YOU AS SOMEONE WHO ORIGINALLY WATCHED THESE ANIMATIONS

Now that it's been animated I can safely say you did a better voice acting for as nodt than the actual English dub

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

I'm disappointed the fans have to do the work for the anime. Your video was amazing 1 like earned.

Who is here after the trailer fight scene

Hey congratulations for your involvement of episode 6 this is so far most hype episode ever thank u for your hard work ❤️❤️✨✨✨

Its gonna Be Massacre When This Episode Will Aired Again...!#Bleach 2022

This is bloody glorious. Well animated. Top marks! You've got yourself a subscriber.

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.

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.

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 👏🏼👍

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.

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

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

The whole time i was like WTF why don't I remember this episode

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

Who’s back after they announced the final arc being animated?

Not only is the animation amazing, but you grasped the emotion perfectly, i really felt the sad and hopeless atmosphere here, simply amazing!!!

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.

Crazy how the voice acting for as nodt is way better in this then the actual dub😮‍💨😭💯

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.

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.

Damn this is clean. When cuz grabbed Renji and kicked him, A+ my guy, A+

This was wayyy better than the original version 😮😮

After seeing the fight officially animated, I still like this one more 😂

"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.

WTF? THIS IS FAN MADe? I THOUGHT IT WAS ORIGINAL LOL

The quality of dub compared to the official dub is outrages, does viz even care about bleach at all????

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

Wow, you captured the brutality of Byakuya's defeat far better than the manga does. This is epic

This shit boutta go down in the next episode.

after watching the 5th episode of bleach thousand year blood war .... I can say how accurate the animation is even the voice is same ... 👍👍👍👍

It's going to be awfully disappointing if a pro studio can't capture the emotions like this. Well done.

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.

As Nodt’s voice is perfect

If next week doesn't live up to the despair and hopelessness at least we'll have this to look back on

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

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

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.

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!! ❤️

Amazing work on the official anime!

The animation is great, and the voices you chose are on point. Great job!

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.

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

This dub version of As Nodt sounds so much better than what we have currently. IMO.

you've been credited in the last bleach episode

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!!! :)

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.

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.

this is officially way better than the original anime

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

Holy shit this is actually so amazing. Thank you so much Ryan and to everyone who worked on it

1:28 I was willing to bet the anime wouldn't hold a candle to this scene, and I (unfortunately) was proven correct...

I’m so hyped for the anime version. Thank you for holding it down for all these years

BRO THIS IS THE MOST COOLEST FIGHT EVER THANK U FOR ANIMATING THIS FOR US BLEACH FANS RETRO RYNO

They did As Nodt dirty by having Byakuya somehow survive this and come back stronger than ever. Fans won't stand for the villains taking any Ws unless it's a character nobody cares about or everyone expects to die

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 version is more tension than the original. I was even confused which one is real 😆

I would fucking pay you to animate tall of this.

Man this is going to blow up once you release the eps and start gaining that momentum!!!

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.

either next week or the week after ! Hope the anime version is this brutal.

tfw ryan adds a "

This is amazing animation!! This is literally studio level!!

I still can’t believe that in 2 weeks we will get this scene animated in the anime after many years of waiting

When a fan animation does it better than Toei, an actual company. smh

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.

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!

Amazing. Just watched the anime episode of this fight tonight and you definitely did it justice. The emotions you imbued in your version was much more visceral in my opinion.

This is absolutely amazing so glad I was able to support you and your awesome crew in this process and looking forward to keep supporting this outstanding project, this truely overcame anything I ever thought was possible coming from a fan animation. Keep on doing what you are doing and also I am sure this will stir more bleach fans to support you. Anyway, thank you for this awesome video and looking forward to the next one. I am off to rewatch bleach now cause of this ;)

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!

I just finished watching Episode 4....of the new Bleach 1000 years blood War Anime!! I think this scene will be NEXT in Episode 5!!

Who’s here after watching episode 5 of TYBW?

IM HERE FOR THIS. Holy crap Ryan your animation has gotten so good. Wtf. Senbonzakura looks so good. The music. The voice acting. THIS IS BLEACH

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 !

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

Who’s here after watching the actual episode….both animations are peak 💯💪🏾

Am I still watching a fan animation? Because I'm in love with this already. Can't wait to see more.

Well looks like we’re gonna actually get this scene animated

fun facts: ryan white aka ryno is now animated of bleach tybw

this is far better than what just came out today

So freaking epic us fans should make a movement bleach deserves justice we want it back !
