So, what do you think? Seeing everybody rising from ashes, I can only say this is one of the most hopeful Bleach ending songs.
ETA: Could that person sitting near to Shunsui possibly be Ukitake?!

Renji and Chad get pretty shafted in that ED, though. :(

The he gets resolve again, the two girls smile seeing he is alright, and everyon's off. XD

Date: 2010-07-13 08:42 pm (UTC)As for the animation itself I just adore Orihime's hands in the water <3 Beautifully done ^^
I see a hint of IchiRuki there. Orihime's trying to reach Ichigo but it's Rukia who catches his attention and accepts(?) him. I hope I'm not the only one ^^

Date: 2010-07-13 10:01 pm (UTC)I've never been big fan of tracking shots of stationary people in 2d cause they are hard to draw without rotoscoping, which they didn't.
Technically speaking the best parts of this drawing wise are Inoue's hands in the water and the tracking shot of IchiThing.
I have for the most part stopped watching anime because very few have good animation for non action scenes.

Date: 2010-07-13 10:31 pm (UTC)Oh... And I think it can be Ukitake (omgmakeittrueplease): there's no other captain (and this person is definitely wearing a captain's coat) who's got long bright-coloured/white hair...

Date: 2010-07-14 01:55 am (UTC)Rukia looks stunning here and Ichigo looks so sad in that first shot (and I wish we could see Kira's face!). It really reflects how he feels about what happened. But, like at the end of this ED, I hope he can move forward, with the help of his friends :)

Date: 2010-07-14 03:48 am (UTC)I do miss the wild, wacky energy of the last ED, but this new ending brings out the drama and hope of the Bleach storyline. My favorite shot was of Komamura supporting Hisagi.

Date: 2010-07-14 04:31 am (UTC)It's the best ending I've seen in a long while for Bleach. The song is also very befitting of the somber atmosphere. I DO in fact see some IchiRuki going on, but it's mostly nakama. Anyway, it's a good break from the crazy, lol-y, upbeat, "stay beautifuuuuulll, uh oh, oh, oh" endings Bleach had before. Did anyone giggle at the exchange between IchiRuki? I did.

Date: 2010-07-14 12:59 pm (UTC)IshiHime <3 beautiful Rukia <3 Shun and Uki!
Himamori, Rangiku and Kira make me sad; they are the emotinal victims in this war. Also Kuma supports Hisagi, aww.

Date: 2010-07-14 02:47 pm (UTC)And while I'm at it, SJ did promote this ending as Nakama ending, about a month ago, when the new ED was announced. So I still fail to see how it's shippy XD Rukia leading the way made me proud and happy though :3

Date: 2010-07-14 04:18 pm (UTC)What I fail to see is why people wage war over this tiny bit. Oh yeah...because the animators wrote Bleach?! Obviously, it don't stop the crazies from goin' at it. :/

Date: 2010-07-15 05:49 am (UTC)Now all that PC crap aside, I LOVE that Ishida is pictured with Orihime!!! I SOOOOOO want them to be a couple. He's so sweet and gentle yet a fierce fighter too, just what she needs. Heck the man WEARS white how much closer to her white knight image does he need to be. oh wait *facepalm* her white knight image is all wrapped in in Ichigo that she can't see the one in front of her that she spent all of SS with and who never once questioned going to save her in HM when Urahara told him what was up. Never mind his talks about being unable to deny her requests! But I digress, lol.

Date: 2010-07-15 09:45 am (UTC)The beginning scene with Orihime and Ishida... Maybe it's just me, but her posing is what I have imagined her to look like when she's (hypothetically) rejecting Ulquiorra's ashes. So I got a bit of a hopeful shiver when I saw it.
Alas, this ED a bit of a lie. XD I know it's supposed to be symbolic about everyone rising above this defeat, but since that hasn't happened yet in the manga, it just seems like it's setting up anime-only watchers for a bit of a bad shock when Aizen utterly stomps everyone.
That last scene though, I would LOVE to have that as a giant poster or an HQ pic of it. Really, really beautiful. And I love to see Rukia leading the nakama, too. I think it's symbolic in itself that she's a better leader than Ichigo is... or at least as he has been recently.

Like, Yumichika, Ikkaku and Iba... that image was very depressing.
Izuru, Hinamori-san and Matsumoto-san grouped together was interesting. It seems to hint that those three were effected worse of all emotionally, after the betrayal. I was upset that such a pretty ending gave us only the end of Izuru's head, and his hair was so solid.
It was a bit of a shock to have such a heavy ending, as beautiful as it was, after the AU one we got last season. But it was alright.
