This looks super clean but theirs nothing like that dark effect of the go scene it gave you a super sense of atmosphere and it felt as if you couldn't see all of the action so there was a strong sense of foreboding.
I prefer the old anime, but I think the new animation is far better. The old anime used to show straight lines for high speed movement, this actually shows us what's going on. The music and VO was peak in the 90s though.
4. Cold lightning & colour palette for depth, no need for modern VFX. 5. First time seeing Kenshin fighting with loose hair, giving a proper introduction to Battōsai when the band broke. 6. Golden Battōsai eyes 🔱. 7. Music. 8. Reverse colours effect to show Kaoru's heartbreaking pain. 9. Silence in the right moments. 10. Deadly stillness, only movement when necessary. 11. VAs not overly making noises everytime, not overacting. 12. A battle still remembered, talked about, and paramountly high regarded to this day 💪🏼🔥☀️...
I think the reason why they had them switch the fight outdoors is because they were using full-length blades. When both opponents are using full-length blades, it's to their advantage to take it outside. 👌 Granted it's not as captivating as the original anime, in terms of fight choreography it's definitely the more practical and realistic thing to occur.
@@xavidelfioranothat’s kind of the point. People in real life don’t just switch eye colors like that. One of the hidden messages from this arc up until the middle of the Kyoto Arc is that Kenshin still hasn’t fully let go of his Battosai past which is why he subconsciously reverts to it
I wish they would have kept the eye color change like in the original. That and when kenshins hair came down.. it just hits different... its such an epic fight
Saito looks less intense as well. In the manga at least, his face completely changes after he takes the hit to the back of the neck. They both decide at the same time that they are done doing whatever this game is and are just going to kill each other. It was super intense and first time I was genuinely worried about a main character losing.
The original was better. Saito was a swordsman who fought Kenshin and lived to tell the tale. Saito hated Kenshin because he helped the imperialists achieve victory in the Boshin War and the tension in the original was palpable. It didn't need modern generic animation effects you see everywhere now to be good. The use of lighting, shading and the overall artstyle in the original made Saito look far more intimidating. He had the look of a predator finding prey it had been in pursuit of which was apt as he called himself the Last Wolf of Nibu. Now though he just looks like random kids dad.
@@alejandroormenosepulveda2343 Don't act like you don't understand. The original series handles this scene a thousand times better. It far surpasses the manga. And it's not about "nostalgia" as some say. Really, this fight is one of the best in the entire series.
I don't think the 2023 version was bad. It's just the 1996 version was too good. 1996 version had Kazuhiro Furuhashi as a director (also the director of Spy × Family), Norio Matsumoto (the one who had drawn Gaara vs Rock Lee in Naruto), Hideki Hamasu (one of the main animator engaged in Spirited Away and other Ghibli movies ) and etc. Besides, there were Akira Matsushima (animation director of Demon Slayer), Akira Shimizu (Bleach) in other Kyoto arc episodes. I feel a little sorry for the 2023 version being compared to those bunch of experienced animators.
simplemente es otro anime mas del monton, esa es la gran diferencia entre lo que hacian antes en la industria y lo que hacen actualmente, todo es para vender y vender...
Crazy to say "also the director of Spy × Family" instead of "also the director of Hunter × Hunter 99" or even Dororo, but yeah he's a goated anime director
The animation of this chapter in 1996 is a thousand times superior. The music that accompanies each movement of the characters, the dark colors, the way Kenshin gradually gives way to the Hitokiri, Kaoru's emotions when she sees that she can't do anything to stop the fight. The original Japanese voices that are second to none, the choreography of the entire fight, especially when Kenshin swings his sword into the back of Saito's head. UNSURPASSED THE ANIMATION OF 1996.
The old version is wirse to this one The 90s animation looks worse its grainy and every action scene has the screen flashing so much it should come with a epilepsy warning
LOL Exactly...SMH!!! I mean, I get it. This one seems more realistic, yeaaah yeaaah...but the OG one...booooooy you can't touch that. My boy went all demonic in the OG one.
Agreed, they didn't do a great job of contrasting the manslayer from Kenshin. Also, I didn't like that Kenshin didn't hide his past as much in this version, but I guess it's more consistent with the manga.
Better be careful with ur comments there bcs some zoomers will told u ur just stuck with “nostalgia” 😂😂😂😂 And fucking yeah the OG feels way more intense while u could even seen Himura eyes just activated his inner killer mode
@@force5926I even felt it was meh and ok just by watching few seconds of this Still cant even top the OG especially Himura with his eyes looking ruthless killer
@@force5926not even realistic when they start clashing swords super fast and the air splits and sends shockwaves. I was super excited for this remake, but they turned one of the best, most atmospheric 1990s manga/anime into a generic samurai shonen
The new version captures the movements a bit better but the atmosphere in the original was so good, the dark dojo room, the eye color switch to show he’s slipping back to battosai it’s just so good
Great animation, but...where's the story? The build up? I get them shortening some of the other fights as if to say "Kenshin made short work of them", but this is considered by many to be one of the top 5 anime fights in history, and they just gave us the cliff notes version. Why was the fight with Jinei done better than the fight with Saito that had so much more relevance to the story?
Yup, a while back I had been waiting for at least a few dozen episodes before I started watching the remake. This dropped and I decided to spoil it for myself and start watching. When I saw how absolutely horrifically they ruined this fight I decided watching the show would be a waste of time sinc there are so many other, better things for me to watch
The way Saito grips his sword and how Kenshin and Saito came out from the dojo...is the remake truly more royal to the manga? I thought some parts were rather based on the 2012 live adaptation film. I won't say which is better or worse, but it did make me wonder a bit.
The fight itself is dope. And the fact that it continues outside of the dojo is a nice change. Yes, the original is better. But in this particular case, the difference is smaller.
I had watched all my old anime’s and just two stand proudly hittokiri Battousai and Yu Yu hakusho Is just a breath of fresh air redoing this masterpiece
Alright, I absolutely love the animation of this remake, I won't nitpick the small stuff... but the Yellow snake eyes were kind of an important device to show Kenshins ferocity and him slowly slipping back into his manslayer ways. The original used that very well and showed the weight of this conflict on Kenshin. 8/10 imo
0:48 esta escena es muy superior en el original. No porque esté "mejor" animado, sino porque cada movimiento fallido de Kenshin, hace que este ataque, sea uno de los más impresionantes. Todo porque los Storyboard originales, tienen más emoción.
aw I see a lot of people dogging on this version, I thought they did a fantastic job, especially with the sound production the old show is iconic, and this was one of the best fights in the series so I get it but I am glad to be getting a cleaner sharper version When I saw this as a kid, this fight marked an important turn for the show that made it my favorite anime. Just like we saw with Jin-E, Kaoru realizes that the good natured man she is falling in love with still struggles with becoming a cold-blooded killer once again as his past catches up to him. It added a dimension to a hero that really touched me. Even though he fought for something he believes in, he spends the rest of his life tortured by how many lives he took to make it happen.
Unpopular Opinion: I really like this fight and i found it really enjoyable. Sure, the OG was better, but that doesn't mean this fight has his own merits. Tbh i had 0 hopes in this remake when it was announced, but i must say i was really satisfied with the final result.
I agree that this has superior graphics than the old one but 90s better because of OST, build up and the pacing making you feel tense. Eye color change too!!
Animation is one thing, the animation is good in the remake. Art direction (colors, shadows, darkness) and the music making a darker atmosphere is another, and on that department 90s is awesome.
This is such a let down - the original was one of the best and most dramatic anime fights ever. This is so bad, it's almost instantaneously forgettable
Tbh, I really love this adaptation. The only thing I loved more in the 90's anime was the music but the music here is also pretty good. the yellow eyes weren't in this adaptation but the voice actors and the animation were way ahead. I really love the effect and sound design for the remake.
Old animation told the story from so many ways, setting, time of day, the way the fights carried the weight of anyone could win. Comparing the two just gave away a predictable modern anime trope where main characters just fight to make it to the next cut scene, in this case someone yelling to get the attention away from the fight. That and for those of us who watched the original and the live action movies, we may have also been spoiled in terms of quality and pacing. If I was a kid watching this for the first time, hooked. No doubt about it.
the animation was great, but the atmosphere of the original, with the sun setting and the yellow eyes of kenshin when he goes full hitokiri are far better. still, great adaptation from the manga and great animation also.
Don’t get me wrong is nice a classic anime gets a remaster, however these fights are far to short, and Ken shin when he goes to battosai mode doesn’t send a shiver down my spine like the color change when he use to. Like we need that alternate style to show between kind kenshin who wants to redeem himself for the lives he took vs when he was in full war mode to survive a very violent war
This is still a good rendition of the fight; but it’s lost something everything feels a bit too fast and doesn’t build the same tension. The BGM in the original really sets the mood far better too. In the original anime this whole scene takes place inside the dojo, and if I remember that is the case with the manga too. Being indoors also gave the scene great lighting that enhanced the mood.
The animation and artwork are for sure better. However, the way the OG anime conveyed the emotions through the anime was miles ahead. If they got Kazuma's hand animators to do the fight scenes, it would have pulled ahead probably. And add Yasuharu's masterpiece BGMs.
I see a lot of people talking about the old version. Ok I understand, but guys, just enjoy This. There are people who don't like to watch anime because of its old animation, that's precisely why there are remakes. It's great, just enjoy it 😂😂
My thoughts exactly. I sort of knew it would be that way from the music of the series. Not a single track has caught my ear, an didnt pull me into the scenes. It feels hollow and low. The animation is a different style an not better if u ask me. I am glad they animated it better with out the still frames an lights, we get the actual animation of them doing the moves like Aoshi's Kaiten Kenbu. It's still.....lacking in many areas. The comedy, music, an soul of the series. Bitter sweet for me
After watching FMA and seeing how Brotherhood did the manga justice, I always believed Kenshin needed that treatment. I'll just leave the only comment that appreciates the newer version over the old. If you take off the rose-tinted shades, the only thing that made the original different was its dramatization. I, for one, never understood the choreography of Kenshin rebounding off the wall into a corkscrew-motion only to end up suddenly running to clash blades with Saito. Like, literally when does he go from spiraling in the air to running? Everyone clamors over the eye-color changing like it's supposed to be a Super Saiyan moment for Kenshin when the manga had nothing more to go off of other than drawing the eyes sharper. Everyone complaining about why the original is better seems to forget how much it strayed from the source material, and the decisions made that ultimately doomed it.
Not really the 1996 version though swayed off abit from the manga...it's one of those decisions which show both the manga and anime strongly stand alone and well receiveed which isn't a bad thing
This is so disappointing and beneath the original anime fight. Kenshin was part of the Golden age of anime for a reason. Those of us who lived through that era of anime truly are lucky.
They took a fight that spanned two episodes that due to the pacing, suspense, and music, was potentially the best in the whole series and crammed the remake fight into a 6 minute brawl that felt completely rushed through. They did a good job ruining one of the biggest possible moments of the remake
I remember this episode in the 90s. I don't know why they thought they could do better. it's brave to remake this episode, but stupid. the 90s version of this episode was just on a different level. should not have attempted to redo that one. I love that the OVA which was during his hitokiri days had the same animation style as this particular episode. really puts the audience into perspective of how different he was and how different the times were during the bakufu. and it really drives the point of how they revert to their former selves on these kinds of fight.
It sure looks nice but this does not evocate even half the tension of the original anime. The colors transitioning from redish tones to purple as the dusk gives way to the night. And those Hollywood impact sound effects... wtf?
Thank you for the "Hollywood impact sound effects", I didn't know what to call them! 😂. Trying too hard to make it dramatic, the 90s version didn't need that and the blows felt super impactful, here's rather unnatural. I'm a HEMA practitioner and the 90s version really drove the point home of what it feels like dodging, blocking and hitting, without needing to use exaggerated effects to force impact on the viewers. They have to feel it naturally, can't force it 🤷🏻♂️⚔️☀️...
This version is different, not bad, 😑 but back then when I saw those fiery yellow eyes from the old anime version during 90's, and the song theme kicked in, I got goosebump from seeing a glimps of hitokiri battousai.
Love the polish fight but it's missing the what made the old one great. , the pause b/w each attack as he reverts to his previoiuse self, the hair opening , the eye color

Also dark dojo room give intense atmosphere
And the eye color switch from kenshin into battosai

The way his hair band broke and eye color changed in the original let you know that kenshin was not playing around anymore. FMW!!!
It also let you know that, "Kenshin" was no longer there.
Yep, you don’t distinguish here when he is battosai, he has almost the same eyes.

Old is better, but is because this one is manga fidelity. The additional details and changes in the 96 version make that amazing.
Its the dialogues. The old anime dialogue had life in it.
Without a doubt, the "ost" of the classic version is missing to make it epic, what made Kenshin special was the music in his fights
Looks great. But I really liked how in the old anime Kenshin's hair got loose. A detail that's not even in the manga btw
Without the old music, whats the point?

The actual animation is fine , just lighting and sound track and overall animation directing is what the OG has over
this is my take.
the old version blows this out of the water its not even close
seen both the og and the new. Love both tbhh they both have great things going for them!
guys do we have any updates for the next release (episode 25) this year?
hm what a shame, seems they remade the series with the intention of trying to appeal to younger audiences

Every much talks about the old animation, but not enough folks are talking about the music
I see a lot of people talking about the old version. Ok I understand, but guys, just enjoy This. There are people who don't like to watch anime because of its old animation, that's precisely why there are remakes. It's great, just enjoy it 😂😂
i need noriyuki asakura music in this remake
Am I the only one who like the old animation better?
This version is harder to tell what's going on in the fight compared to the 90s show.
kenshin vs jinei and kenshin vs aoshi are both better than the og but damn the og kenshin vs saito is way better than the remake somehow dissapointed
My exact feelings for this fight too
They can’t keep doing this onwards
My thoughts exactly. I sort of knew it would be that way from the music of the series. Not a single track has caught my ear, an didnt pull me into the scenes. It feels hollow and low. The animation is a different style an not better if u ask me. I am glad they animated it better with out the still frames an lights, we get the actual animation of them doing the moves like Aoshi's Kaiten Kenbu. It's still.....lacking in many areas. The comedy, music, an soul of the series. Bitter sweet for me
Nobody is blind by Nostalgic
This looks finner than the old version didn’t see these in the older one
I liked it. They are doing a good work. But it was impossible to remake this fight and do better than the OG. They did a safe version of it.
the music score is so low it ruins the fight
The thrill in the 90s version was way more better. The dialogues the soundtracks and more
When your favourite anime Collab with the battle cats..
Anyone saying the old anime has better animation is blinded ny nostalgia
After watching FMA and seeing how Brotherhood did the manga justice, I always believed Kenshin needed that treatment. I'll just leave the only comment that appreciates the newer version over the old.
If you take off the rose-tinted shades, the only thing that made the original different was its dramatization. I, for one, never understood the choreography of Kenshin rebounding off the wall into a corkscrew-motion only to end up suddenly running to clash blades with Saito. Like, literally when does he go from spiraling in the air to running? Everyone clamors over the eye-color changing like it's supposed to be a Super Saiyan moment for Kenshin when the manga had nothing more to go off of other than drawing the eyes sharper.
Everyone complaining about why the original is better seems to forget how much it strayed from the source material, and the decisions made that ultimately doomed it.
Not really the 1996 version though swayed off abit from the manga...it's one of those decisions which show both the manga and anime strongly stand alone and well receiveed which isn't a bad thing
I want Old Classics back to existing only right now today
This is so disappointing and beneath the original anime fight. Kenshin was part of the Golden age of anime for a reason. Those of us who lived through that era of anime truly are lucky.
es la voz de sasuke por cierto?
They took a fight that spanned two episodes that due to the pacing, suspense, and music, was potentially the best in the whole series and crammed the remake fight into a 6 minute brawl that felt completely rushed through. They did a good job ruining one of the biggest possible moments of the remake
this video is incomplete. You're depriving every one of the masterpiece that this fight is.
0:51 it´s the exactly moment that the battle would be over, if it where before meiji era.
I remember this episode in the 90s. I don't know why they thought they could do better. it's brave to remake this episode, but stupid. the 90s version of this episode was just on a different level. should not have attempted to redo that one. I love that the OVA which was during his hitokiri days had the same animation style as this particular episode. really puts the audience into perspective of how different he was and how different the times were during the bakufu. and it really drives the point of how they revert to their former selves on these kinds of fight.
The og was so much better in so many ways. But I'll be quiet and the younger generation enjoy this version.
It sure looks nice but this does not evocate even half the tension of the original anime. The colors transitioning from redish tones to purple as the dusk gives way to the night. And those Hollywood impact sound effects... wtf?
Thank you for the "Hollywood impact sound effects", I didn't know what to call them! 😂. Trying too hard to make it dramatic, the 90s version didn't need that and the blows felt super impactful, here's rather unnatural.
I'm a HEMA practitioner and the 90s version really drove the point home of what it feels like dodging, blocking and hitting, without needing to use exaggerated effects to force impact on the viewers. They have to feel it naturally, can't force it 🤷🏻♂️⚔️☀️...
@@MiguelMedV For a moment I thought I was watching a Michael Bay movie or something.
90s version still looks and feels better for some reason. I don't feel any soul in modern animation.
斎藤戦も蒼紫戦もどうしても旧作より見劣りしてしまうという意見がやっぱり多いみたいだけど、みんなはどう思う？
それ懐古厨が言ってるだけ
断然新作派
This is good no doubt about it but the original one this fight is superior
I think the old animation is better, but the new sound effects are sick!
Here you can see all the sword swings way better than tge flashing 90s screen
Old Traditional Animation Color Drawing has to officially return
Cuando a Kenshin se le solto el pelo en el Anime antiguo, se noto una vibra diferente, sin duda la pelea es mejor!!!
No tiene punto de comparación con la antigua, sigue siendo mucho mejor la antigua 😊
This version is different, not bad, 😑 but back then when I saw those fiery yellow eyes from the old anime version during 90's, and the song theme kicked in, I got goosebump from seeing a glimps of hitokiri battousai.
This scene battle so epic, kenshin with yelow eyes slayer mode, and backsound heart of sword. But after remake 😂😂😂
Without original soundtracks are not the same :c
I liked the original better. This is pretty cool too though
Where can I watch this anime series, can you help?

Love the polish fight but it's missing the what made the old one great. , the pause b/w each attack as he reverts to his previoiuse self, the hair opening , the eye color
