Ok now that it's out, this was easily my most ambitious animation yet and massive thanks to all who helped work on this. Feel free to leave a review on what ya like/think could be improved when it’s out. Omeleto’s animation releases next week which will conclude this batch to the series, so hope you’re all hyped for that as well.
@@davidmarques5538 Dragon Egg was still ambitious, but it was mostly between 2 characters. For this one, there's a whole heap more characters to be constantly managing. Also a lot more complex lighting and effects.
@@Mont27P I have 1 more question then I'll leave you alone lol. Since this channel is about to reach 10M subscribers, are you guys doing anything special for the big Milestone? You don't have to tell me what it is since it might be a surprise or not.
This gives me massive Songs of War vibes. Edit: Wow, thanks for the positive feedback! Second Edit: Ok the Nether King/Commander is just a remastered Pythus. Third Edit: This golem is Igneous on steroids 😂
"The Ender Knights rallied under King Rendor, and fought the Nether head on. The humans reassembled their armies. The Ardoni clans wielded their Songs of old. The Magnorites came from the south, the Felinas from the west. Some even say... He was there."
I’m so damn excited for this! Those nether looking knights and the purple one reminds me of songs of war. The enderknights battling against the nether, this is gonna be epic!
OK this was the best one so far imo, Steve & Alex finally got a new item to use in combat or overall, massive SoW nostalgia with the Enderknights and Netherans, callbacks to previous episodes like Dragon Egg and last week's Nether Titan and when we were just about to get a happy ending, BOOM! Steve captured and the crew shot by a cannonball, and then we get the awesome chase sequence and the end scene which really brought Infinity War/Endgame vibes, that's how good this episode was! Looking forward to the finale next week!
@@Mont27P Omeleto is animating it? Then we're 'bout to get cinematic action with his fighting animations! And great job on the script and animation in this video, Mont! And of course other animators, you guys make a great team.
While I had troubles with the previous animation, this one seems like it won't go wrong. Fight scenes are going to be extremely critical and the quality that is shown in the thumbnail should bleed into the animation to some extent. Edit (12/10/22): In comparison to the last one, this animation is relatively good. I'd say it takes that traditional feel. The emotions are rarely overexaggerated and they feel real. Excellent job on that. I still find it interesting that the Baroness saved Steve in the previous animation yet takes him back. This might have been a result of needing to capture him while also needing him to stay alive. Either way, the animation is back to where it used to be, which is awesome. Second Edit (12/11/22): The visuals were the best part, I loved the designs from Songs of War, and it is one of my favorite YT series videos of all time. You managed to give me nostalgia and I appreciate it. Also, good work taking the time to look back on your comments to improve. That move is incredibly smart and this team is truly amazing because of it.
Im kinda hoping the people on the blimps or something either piglins or villager and pillagerand other players and i like it when there voice acting to know the story better
Thanks for the review of sorts. As for the Baroness part you basically said it as is. Baroness needs Steve alive in order to get through to Herobrine's side of him, hence why she saves him in Warden Fight. Here she kidnaps him as she finds a chance to do so.
Absolutely loved it. This was the best animation in this series by far. Can’t wait to see what’s next because of the agonising cliffhanger. I have no idea how you do this story so good. Especially with starfall.
6:57. Okay, I can't help it, but it seems like Steve is slowly starting to rely more and more on the Herobrine side of his powers, and I think that will eventually come back to bite him at some point in the future. Maybe I'm wrong and I'm just reading too much into it, but that's what the animation appears to be saying.
These “Alex and Steve adventures” are feeling season three vibes~ Animation life was season one, Alex and Steve life was season two, Alex and Steve adventures is season three~~
Okay let me start, this has got to be one of BPS' best animations by far. Mont and the others did an amazing job on the animation, it was so fluid and smooth, certain parts with perspective and camera following them in some scenes was so pleasing to look at! Oh and expressions were absolutely amazing! I love how in the story it showed them training in the end, it made more sense instead of them rushing in and knowing everything about fighting already. This animation, Nether War, and Herobrine returns, have been my favorite animations ever posted on this channel. And in a way this episode brought me back to my childhood, for one animation life and another I grew up with was Minecraft Story Mode! So this brought me so much joy when watching it, keep on the great work BPS, Everyone in the team is awesome!
Dang, I really appreciate the words of praise, love that you think that. Also nice to hear you enjoyed Story Mode, that was something I loved when i was young and came out as well, even if silly at times, but I love it. Hopefully the last episode by Omeleto can contend with that, will hopefully be a banger as well.
@@jesuslovesyousomuch5186 Why would you take the time to make a youtube comment trying to convert people to your religion? There has got to be a better strat. I mean think about it. Who's gonna read this comment and be like "you know what? I believe in Jesus now!"
Excellent work on this animation Mont! I must say you absolutely nail the atmosphere of the End; the mist, the lighting, even the end details like the ender bees and the weapons were awesome). It's great to see assets used from other animations like SOW in this animation, they look great and helps to freshen up A+S series up. Love seeing the attention to detail in the other elements in the animation (the Wither for example)! Really keen to see the conclusion to the A+S Adventures!
Dragon: haha lightning go brr Steve: I am now Herobrine. I can control my shapeshifting. Shepherd: I am an Enderknight, dragon rider and able to teleport Alex: *airplane mode on*
Good to see you guys bring back the amazing quality of the first nether war animation and fight scenes which compliment each other greatly. Seeing the characters fight and counter, block stuff like that is amazing it adds some realism sort of thing to it. Keep it this way if u guys can it's pretty hard to upload every week so I don't think anyone would complain if ur took your time to absolutely be proud of the work you'll show to all the people with great expectations. My one problem is that in the training part where everyone shows off and trains their unique style and abilities Steve and ender dragon both has lightning. It'd have been very cool to just give the dragon it's classic purple fire/fire ball honestly it would look cooler than lightning since the graphics and again animation is a killer like all the previous GOOD ones. Everything accounted the episode was extraordinary.
I love how they're steadily tying in characters from past videos like Eric and Lone. Also love how they added the detail of the Ender Dragon shooting lightning and having glowing scales. For those who don't remember, when he was little he saved the village from burning up by absorbing lightning blasts. Awsome video! Also I loved the movement in Alex's wings as she flew overhead, and the lighting of the end. And I could go on and on 😁
7:38 Yo, it's Abbigail in her Enderknight armor from SoW! I'm really liking this SoW nostalgia BPS is suddenly giving, I doubt they are gonna make S2 and 3 now that the script is already out there but still appreciate these animations where you guys use concepts from SoW, it's great!
@@CobaltXMusic It's OK but who's Lone again? Sorry, might be a recent character who was named in a desc. or something because I've never heard that name in any BPS projects and I readed both S2 and 3 scripts of SoW so mind telling me? Thank you.
That was incredible! The work that went into the camera angles really paid off! I loved seeing Alex fly around and get the bird's eye view of it all. And just the dynamic camera work around the combat scenes really looked good, it was proper fun to watch! Their expressions were also on point. No one ever looked comical or goofy, just expressive enough to know exactly what they were thinking. I mean even the wither's face was well done lol. Nice pacing and music choice, you really outdid yourselves this time Mont and crew!
This episode in particular gave me strong Songs of War vibes. Specifically, the Ender Knights in general and the Nether forces taking over the End. I miss this legend...
Probably cause one of the netherans is literally pythus and one looks very similar, to vulcannus and its in a location seen in songs of war and some of the ender armour looks very similar
Plot twist after plot twist in this series, I'm loving it! I also love how Steve is using his "corrupted" side to his advantage now instead of seeing it as a setback. He's come a long way!
I wouldn’t get used to it if I were you. Sure he may be fine now, but if the Baroness succeeds in breaking his spirit, we might just get Herobrine back after all.
@@aceofspades_20 sorry for being a Debbie downer. I just really wanna see Herobrine in full force again. I’m a huge sucker for the “evil side” type storylines. Will it happen? Maybe, maybe not. We’ll just have to wait and see. Remember that this speculation is all just for fun.
@@h-bitgraphics3858 Nah I'm totally with you. It would be sick to see Herobrine again! I'm just worried about what might happen to Alex and his friends
Is it just me or did anyone else think that, when the Ender Dragon I guess charged up, it looked like Toothless’s alpha charge from HTTYD or Godzilla’s charge? Loving this animation series! Once again Black Plasma Studios, you have outdone your selves!
Hi, I'm from Peru and it premieres here at ⏱4:00 AM at that time I'll be sleeping 🛌😴 but I'll be awake 😀😎 just to see this amazing ⛏🧱 🟩 series, since I'm intrigued and excited about this series and I'm sure everyone They are impatient, give it a well-deserved like 👍👍✔ ✅ so that this channel continues making videos.
Ok.........THIS ANIMATION WAS AMAZING!!!!! Also, if only shulkers were actually that useful 3:09 😂 I absolutely love the holograms and the new ender people designs. To all of the storyline/plot developers, you are all phenomenal at your job! I'm truly enjoying each video that comes out and getting to watch Steve and Alex experience new things is always a fun ride. I'm happy that Steve is accepting his abilities and is still loved by those around him. Herobrine is a great villain, but this twist with him being a type of evil side to Steve is really cool to see. I've never seen it played out like this, so I look forward to seeing where this goes in future videos. He's worked hard to keep that side in check and I feel that he's mastered that side to him. Well done and thank you to the whole team for your collective work!!!
3:19 We can see true lore here. There are twoo factions that are fighting for ages and the middle world with warden under. Also we see third faction. They are like alpha legion. Theyre existence is questioned. They could be also heaven world for the third faction.
I think this will be awesome like all your animations! I enjoy and love every animation which you post,I always support your channel,you are a little bit underrated, this channel need to have MORE subscribers. If someone asked me which is the best animation channel I will gladly say is Black plasma studios. You will always have me as a fan,whatever animations you will post! Good Lucky and all the best everyone!
I nearly died of joy at 8:03. The character development, even though there's no words and the plot is slightly confusing, is incredible. Keep up the good work!!
I'm glad the molten titan got a second chance at a great introduction, this definitely made it feel like it's more of a problem to the characters at the time, love that! I have a few questions, like when did the Shepard girl make an alliance with the ender warriors? What does the Nether stand to gain by taking that single fortress in the End? Why does the traveling group decide to forget that they're being chased? And when did Steve learn to control the power of Herobrine? I feel like the Herobrine powers need more of an explanation, because up until this point Steve hasn't even made attempts at controlling it, settling on just wielding the sword as a sword instead of a power source, so I'm not sure what's happening there. Having the ender dragon channel lightning was an interesting idea, it feels like they relied on it to win a bit too much, but it looked great, worked well with the story and the animation was overall amazing, great job!
Yay but in the last episode where everyone goes to the Nether realm We see her (I forget her name but she had small wings good fighter and is she colored red I think) save Steve for some reason 2 reasons 1: is she's maybe have a change of heart possibly redemption? 2: because she knows that's herobrine in the first episode titled "Herobrine return" (I don't remember the title) we see a flashback of herobrine/corrupted steve in a some time of floating castle and with all the big bad (i forget there names)but now in the present herobrine is no more and only a few people are still there so she sets to find herobrine I think when she finds steve she realizes that Steve is herobrine so maybe the reason why she protected Steve was she's needs him to be alive and well and left turn into his corrupted self thats why she capture Steve possibly forcing him to turn herobrine or making him corrupted so yay that's all I can say any one else have any explanation mine feels weird
@@Venny-Viyarami Her name is "Baroness" and yeah she saved Steve is because she needs him alive to get Herobrine back but I can't wait till the new episode comes out it was delayed tho so it will be released today or tomorrow
@@Venny-Viyarami Im just guessing it would be today or tomorrow because if you have a pc you can go on the "Community Tab" and theres a post about "The Great Rescue" from 2 days ago so I imagine it would be Today or tomorrow they release it .__.
The dragon in this video when he powered himself up on his body kinda gives me the Toothless vibe from How To Train Your Dragon,Or maybe it was an inspirational from The Godzilla Edit:I still dont know how can Steve control his Herobrine
Story idea I think is cool: Steve and Herobrine are basically one so it's like green goblin or something and he tries to battle the Herobrine inside of him and throughout these adventures he sometimes goes out of control but at one point finally becomes one with Herobrine becoming really powerful. After all that, alot of enemies are really aware about when Herobrine was still around and they eventually know about Steve harnessing Herobrine(?). This puts him and his buddies on the run and I don't know where to go from there based on the animations I've seen so far. Other than that, animation here is great compared to the last one and I like how characters from past animations are incorporated here. Kudos to you guys.
"The Enderknights returned during these dark times, long having been guardians of the Overworld. The two opposing realms clashed in a fury of inconceivable power."
Me: Sees Herobrine/Steve use lightning-based powers at 4:11 Also me: *vietnam war style flashbacks of the 2015 Battle of TNSurvivalCraft intensify* edit: the final battle over the fate of Herobrine draws near... oh god hopefully the aetherborn will lose this one... I don't think I want to see the events of 7.5 years ago unfold once more...
I look at the factions fighting in the End and think: "Wait, are Alex and Steve's Adventures taking place in the Songs of War universe?" Sure, I get reusing 3D assets, but the whole Nether vs End thing, Ender Knights, and odd lack of actual Endermen looks very Songs of Warsy to me. Especially when the Nethertroops aren't a canon Nether race and are using a Wither as their heavy. Oh, and Steve has learned to channel his inner Herobrine while Alex has replaced her trident with a new toy. They still get bodied by Herobrine's suicidally stupid ex-minions. Also, the Enderbees are cute.
Wow, I'm speechless. The team really puts effort into this, and its really worth it, this channel is legendary. You guys make our days so much better! These movies are amazing, the animation, the movements, the face expressions are so well detailed! And the storyline, the music, the locations, the places are so well built... All of my appreciation are yours guys.
I got a great idea that David should do, when you finish the series of Alex and Steve adventures, you should put all these episodes into one video like a movie, and also make scenes between the episodes to make it like a long story put together you know what I mean, that would be awesome.
being honest here, I do believe that a series like this would benefit GREATLY from having voice actors. It is something that can get expensive, but the outcome would be worth it.
There’s benefits to both, but I would argue there’s more negatives to doing that, at least currently. 1, more expensive as you say. 2, would take probably more than double the time with all the extra pre-production, lip syncing and casting, voicing, etc. By itself, that’s big turn away for animations on YT since it’s not such a forgiving medium, only being able to post a few animations a year (per director at least). And 3, probably the biggest is it makes it harder for other languages to watch our content. A lot of people that watch our content aren’t US or English primarily, the good thing with non-voiced content is it opens up to everyone. I hear ya tho, would be cool, but not every project can practically have voices.
My main criticism is that Alex hasn't actually gotten any real spotlight moments since the Enderman Attack episode during A&S Life. She wasn't in the Iceologer, and was only in a flashback in the dragon egg arc. Her presence in the Warden episode didn't really change anything (she knocked a potion off a ledge but nothing else she did other than grabbing the moss had an effect on the video). She was sorta a side character in the Nether War video, it wasn't really a problem in Nether War it's just the videos around it. Got her ass kicked the moment she started fighting in returns, and spent most of Rise of the Pillagers out of commission from injuries. She hasn't really gotten to do anything integral to the plot in a while, is all I'm saying
yeah I noticed that its mostly focused on Steve even tho its says Alex is the main Character out of these series but maybe in "The Great Rescue" something might happen .___.
@@gerbilpanda1703 mmm yeah but I don't mind Steve being in the spot light now and then but if he's in it for too long it gets kinda repetitive I would say but I can't I wait till "The Great Rescue" comes out tho :>
2:12 How could the dragon cross through that very small portal? Also, you need ender pearls (or trapdoors) for crossing it. 9:17: Don't they take damage spamming the pearls? Well this is an improvement compared to the previous animation. There're hardly weird details, the fights are dynamic and powerful. The Ender Training with tangible holograms is interesting and Steve using the Herobrine's power with his sword is amazing. It looks like only in this dimension he can use it. In previous animations he didn't use it, he didn't even seem to understand the power of that sword. but it's ok. And the epicity returns in the video and the fights, you can feel it. It doesn't make you scream of emotion but there it is, and that is good. The characters win the final battle with a bit of strategy and the power of Steve, and the Ender Swords are epic for me. You could teleport yourself only thinking where you want to go in real time, for example giving a hit in the chest and immediately later, a hit on the back. The animations are better although the expressions and gestures in the first part, with the ''dragon tamer'' worried for his dragon, are too much ambiguous for me. I was surprised by the Fallen Angels taking Steve. I was wondering where they were. Also I thought Alex got a serious damage when she was hit trying to save Steve and she fall to the ground. But it was just a hit. No blood. No hurt. Not even a hole in her clothes. I only hope the elytras don't break and leave her in free fall xd. When the Titan emerged from the earth, apart of this is a new opportunity for using it and create a true threat with him, I felt it like it was smaller than the previous time. I'm not sure if this is true but well, the Titan is back again and now it's time of a true battle against it. Don't waste it plz. Conclusion: It's better than the last animation, but I can't avoid feel like the quality still being a bit lower than the usual one. It's... standart. But don't stop for it. Continue, you can recover yourself and get your skills better!!
The amount of chills I got while watching this... absolUTEly stunning. It was put together so well, there's nothing I could even begin to critique on. 10/10! Can't wait for next weekend!
Loved the Godzilla references right here 5:56, and 7:21, and the King Ghidorah reference at 7:06. This series has been getting better and better with every new video that drops. Love your work and keep on doing it Black Plasma Studios!
This is one of the best animation that are produced in black plasma studios, some scenes are kinda the same from the movie, "Godzilla king of Monsters"
This was easily one of the best Minecraft animations yet! The music that was in the popular battle royale animation, gave me chills, made me realise how far this truly is ♥️
I recognized her as the dragon girl *right* before it was revealed. so glad there are so many episodes nearing the end of the last series to call back to and work off of.
NGL, this is one of the best animations I've seen from BPS so far. Everyone is starting to get real, defined, talents, and are finally using them properly. Can't wait for the finale, and keep it coming!
This is gonna be amazing I can tell by the background guys like this is probably the best animation and picture I’ve ever seen of a episode made from Minecraft or any other channel like this is interesting
When I saw the thumbnail, my first reaction was that it was a songs of war crossover… it baffles me how much the animations have improved since the series was cancelled, and i’m sure you guys would get tons of support if you brought it back, even at a much slower rate
I agree, but it won’t come back since the director of it has long moved on from animating, and I doubt he’d want anyone else to complete it. He’s making a game called Arcadian Rift now, you should check it out!
@@CobaltMagmaStudios PixelZnamation is working with the Knights of Ardonia to bring the series back in its original quality, I was just thinking that with additional funding and staff from BPS they would be able to complete it without david
@@gvn010 David is both the creator, the writer and guiding hand. I said that he wouldn’t want anyone else to complete it officially without him, not that they couldn’t. Songs of War is over, and while it’s sad, it’s over. David has long moved on, and most fan made creations of SoW are moving on too. I get peoples enthusiasm but constantly spamming “SoW season 2????” in whatever form whenever BPS makes another animation really doesn’t convince them to bring it back. SoW is over, but more stuff can come that’s even better than SoW. Just gotta wait for that rather than pester them for this.
@Cobalt Studios Yeah, for BPS to start on songs of war again without David is not a possibility. And also, I agree, most studios that tried to take on the task of SoW have given up. For example, Helios Animation has officially announced that they are no longer going to be working on Songs of War. Knights of Ardonia haven't released anything for months now, and last PixelZnamation talked about was getting more animators. It's been almost a full year since any good-qaulity episode 3 has been released (Helios had a good ep 2)
@@goldtx8797 Megste did improve for much of the latter half of S2 (though the eevee render was the only letdown for me), and it was great fun to work on the music for s3, which improved MASSIVELY from season 2's animation, as he'd animated both s2 and 3 at different points of his animation career. SoW isn't dead, but it can never come out officially from BPS ever again. And anyway, projects like Starfall prove that BPS is more than capable of moving on to bigger and better things than SoW ever was.
This was so well done, the beginning explaining what happened, the training scene, wich gave a sense of preparation, something that nearly doesn’t happen enough in modern movies again, the battle itself, the turnaround and a clever plan to win anyway…
The best idea i loved is that Steve who was accepting his fate as the Herobrine itself and trying to studying his power in order to help others in battle. Also the newly flying Alex with elytra instead of Trident has another power on it, not even yet mentioning the Ender-Electro Dragon. I swear this was the greatest Alex and Steve life series by far.
Ok now that it's out, this was easily my most ambitious animation yet and massive thanks to all who helped work on this. Feel free to leave a review on what ya like/think could be improved when it’s out. Omeleto’s animation releases next week which will conclude this batch to the series, so hope you’re all hyped for that as well.

"The Ender Knights rallied under King Rendor, and fought the Nether head on. The humans reassembled their armies. The Ardoni clans wielded their Songs of old. The Magnorites came from the south, the Felinas from the west. Some even say... He was there."

(I Got Lone's Enderdragon Name In The Description)
6:00 it's Godzilla
Agreed
and 7:22
While I had troubles with the previous animation, this one seems like it won't go wrong. Fight scenes are going to be extremely critical and the quality that is shown in the thumbnail should bleed into the animation to some extent.
Edit (12/10/22): In comparison to the last one, this animation is relatively good. I'd say it takes that traditional feel. The emotions are rarely overexaggerated and they feel real. Excellent job on that. I still find it interesting that the Baroness saved Steve in the previous animation yet takes him back. This might have been a result of needing to capture him while also needing him to stay alive. Either way, the animation is back to where it used to be, which is awesome.
Second Edit (12/11/22): The visuals were the best part, I loved the designs from Songs of War, and it is one of my favorite YT series videos of all time. You managed to give me nostalgia and I appreciate it. Also, good work taking the time to look back on your comments to improve. That move is incredibly smart and this team is truly amazing because of it.
Time will tell. I'll happily read what you have to say after release whether in a new comment or edit :D
If the fight between the Rendor/Chronos look alikes is even half as good as the final battle in Songs of War, then it'll be a rousing success lol
@@Mont27P bro you guys do some pretty cool animations
Im kinda hoping the people on the blimps or something either piglins or villager and pillagerand other players and i like it when there voice acting to know the story better
Thanks for the review of sorts. As for the Baroness part you basically said it as is. Baroness needs Steve alive in order to get through to Herobrine's side of him, hence why she saves him in Warden Fight. Here she kidnaps him as she finds a chance to do so.
FANtastico!! CHIA tambien hace animaciones!!! 😂👍
the fact that steve has learnt to control his inner herobrine is indeed quite impressive.
Imposible
Inner herobrine?
yeah, I was shocked when at 4:05, Steve suddenly became Herobrine
Absolutely loved it. This was the best animation in this series by far. Can’t wait to see what’s next because of the agonising cliffhanger. I have no idea how you do this story so good. Especially with starfall.
7:45 this is my favorite guard in this animation
7:07 this would be a great wallpaper for my phone ngl
Ender dragon be looking so powerful
@fallguysfan3998 yep he look like godzilla and ghidorah
6:57. Okay, I can't help it, but it seems like Steve is slowly starting to rely more and more on the Herobrine side of his powers, and I think that will eventually come back to bite him at some point in the future. Maybe I'm wrong and I'm just reading too much into it, but that's what the animation appears to be saying.
Yeah I feel like it's slowly corrupting him into Herobrine
But like.. if i had powers i would use them as much as i can for battle ya know
He hardly uses it in the next episode and only for very MAJOR things
@@Fearlessfer69what if said power was slowly corrupting you every time you use it?
I agree. Steve should be VERY careful when he uses it
These “Alex and Steve adventures” are feeling season three vibes~
Animation life was season one, Alex and Steve life was season two, Alex and Steve adventures is season three~~
Okay let me start, this has got to be one of BPS' best animations by far. Mont and the others did an amazing job on the animation, it was so fluid and smooth, certain parts with perspective and camera following them in some scenes was so pleasing to look at! Oh and expressions were absolutely amazing! I love how in the story it showed them training in the end, it made more sense instead of them rushing in and knowing everything about fighting already.
This animation, Nether War, and Herobrine returns, have been my favorite animations ever posted on this channel.
And in a way this episode brought me back to my childhood, for one animation life and another I grew up with was Minecraft Story Mode! So this brought me so much joy when watching it, keep on the great work BPS, Everyone in the team is awesome!
yh they are consistent too which i like
oh heck yes
Oh yeah, fr. Best work yet.
Dang, I really appreciate the words of praise, love that you think that. Also nice to hear you enjoyed Story Mode, that was something I loved when i was young and came out as well, even if silly at times, but I love it.
Hopefully the last episode by Omeleto can contend with that, will hopefully be a banger as well.

Danke!
Excellent work on this animation Mont! I must say you absolutely nail the atmosphere of the End; the mist, the lighting, even the end details like the ender bees and the weapons were awesome). It's great to see assets used from other animations like SOW in this animation, they look great and helps to freshen up A+S series up. Love seeing the attention to detail in the other elements in the animation (the Wither for example)!
Really keen to see the conclusion to the A+S Adventures!
yeah, the end felt authentic, like an end update would seem. They did a great job on the atmosphere.
Dragon: haha lightning go brr
Steve: I am now Herobrine. I can control my shapeshifting.
Shepherd: I am an Enderknight, dragon rider and able to teleport
Alex: *airplane mode on*
The Shepard's name is Lone and the Dragon is named Flynn
good luck, don't stop creating
SoW Enderknights and Netharans back in BPS pog.
5:30 finally that Abbigail vs Vulcannus we've been wanting
Vulcanus is friendly,the evil one is Pythus
@@raya.n9134 no not "evil"... Vulcannus is the legitimate heir while Pythus is the usurper.
آسف كتير كتير
Good to see you guys bring back the amazing quality of the first nether war animation and fight scenes which compliment each other greatly. Seeing the characters fight and counter, block stuff like that is amazing it adds some realism sort of thing to it. Keep it this way if u guys can it's pretty hard to upload every week so I don't think anyone would complain if ur took your time to absolutely be proud of the work you'll show to all the people with great expectations. My one problem is that in the training part where everyone shows off and trains their unique style and abilities Steve and ender dragon both has lightning. It'd have been very cool to just give the dragon it's classic purple fire/fire ball honestly it would look cooler than lightning since the graphics and again animation is a killer like all the previous GOOD ones. Everything accounted the episode was extraordinary.
wait so basicly Steve and Herobrine are the same person?! and Steve really have 2 side?
I love how they're steadily tying in characters from past videos like Eric and Lone. Also love how they added the detail of the Ender Dragon shooting lightning and having glowing scales. For those who don't remember, when he was little he saved the village from burning up by absorbing lightning blasts. Awsome video! Also I loved the movement in Alex's wings as she flew overhead, and the lighting of the end. And I could go on and on 😁
Hgghh
I appreciate the kind words, glad you enjoyed it :D
7:38 Yo, it's Abbigail in her Enderknight armor from SoW! I'm really liking this SoW nostalgia BPS is suddenly giving, I doubt they are gonna make S2 and 3 now that the script is already out there but still appreciate these animations where you guys use concepts from SoW, it's great!
That’s Lone but yeah, I love it too!
Nope it’s not Lone forget what I said
@@CobaltXMusic It's OK but who's Lone again? Sorry, might be a recent character who was named in a desc. or something because I've never heard that name in any BPS projects and I readed both S2 and 3 scripts of SoW so mind telling me? Thank you.
@@HawkWall66 Lone is the girl who trained the Ender Dragon and he is called Flynn and she's from the Alex and Steve series
@@vegemite6 Oh, OK. Thanks for telling! I do read descs. when I remember they exist😅
5:09 when you realize they're more than friends
real
Probably yes TRENT IS SUS
But Trent died.
@@heidiwilson1363 they could bring he back
@@TheBoiEvian_G how!
7:20 Godzilla reference?
Yep the scene of gvk
Is ender dragon hollow earth breath more like godzilla vs kong
Roared in face just like the movie too
Hollow quarry moment
The Godzilla you’re talking about is Legendary Godzilla don’t get me started on all the versions of Godzilla because I will end up going Nerd mode😅
That was incredible! The work that went into the camera angles really paid off! I loved seeing Alex fly around and get the bird's eye view of it all. And just the dynamic camera work around the combat scenes really looked good, it was proper fun to watch! Their expressions were also on point. No one ever looked comical or goofy, just expressive enough to know exactly what they were thinking. I mean even the wither's face was well done lol. Nice pacing and music choice, you really outdid yourselves this time Mont and crew!
Çokgüzel
This episode in particular gave me strong Songs of War vibes. Specifically, the Ender Knights in general and the Nether forces taking over the End. I miss this legend...
Probably cause one of the netherans is literally pythus and one looks very similar, to vulcannus and its in a location seen in songs of war and some of the ender armour looks very similar
6:01 godzilla kkkkkkkkkkk good good
Lol
beautifullest animation on the channel
The thumbnail looks incredible! This series got kicked off to a great start! Can't wait to see what happens!
Yes i so exites to whatch this part of the movie
this is what i've been waiting for!

love your videos
I'm excited for the final episode, I'm very happy to know that the animators are collaborating on this big project 💐💐
@@jesuslovesyousomuch5186 I don't expect that answer, but, thank you and God bless you
Can’t wait to see what they do with the story line and Steve returning to his roots as Herobrine.
Buen trabajo con las animaciones 😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍😍
Wow te gusta
Plot twist after plot twist in this series, I'm loving it! I also love how Steve is using his "corrupted" side to his advantage now instead of seeing it as a setback. He's come a long way!
I wouldn’t get used to it if I were you. Sure he may be fine now, but if the Baroness succeeds in breaking his spirit, we might just get Herobrine back after all.
@@h-bitgraphics3858 Dude why! I mean you're not wrong, but why!
@@h-bitgraphics3858 ye I have a feeling Alex and steve will fight eachother
@@aceofspades_20 sorry for being a Debbie downer. I just really wanna see Herobrine in full force again. I’m a huge sucker for the “evil side” type storylines. Will it happen? Maybe, maybe not. We’ll just have to wait and see. Remember that this speculation is all just for fun.
@@h-bitgraphics3858 Nah I'm totally with you. It would be sick to see Herobrine again! I'm just worried about what might happen to Alex and his friends
Is it just me or did anyone else think that, when the Ender Dragon I guess charged up, it looked like Toothless’s alpha charge from HTTYD or Godzilla’s charge? Loving this animation series! Once again Black Plasma Studios, you have outdone your selves!
The Godzilla movies were a big inspiration for a lot the the Flynn (dragon) and Wither exchanges, yeah.
i need an alex and steve love story PLEASE
Woww this is my biggest wish
Hi, I'm from Peru and it premieres here at ⏱4:00 AM at that time I'll be sleeping 🛌😴 but I'll be awake 😀😎 just to see this amazing ⛏🧱 🟩 series, since I'm intrigued and excited about this series and I'm sure everyone They are impatient, give it a well-deserved like 👍👍✔ ✅ so that this channel continues making videos.

Ok.........THIS ANIMATION WAS AMAZING!!!!! Also, if only shulkers were actually that useful 3:09 😂 I absolutely love the holograms and the new ender people designs. To all of the storyline/plot developers, you are all phenomenal at your job! I'm truly enjoying each video that comes out and getting to watch Steve and Alex experience new things is always a fun ride. I'm happy that Steve is accepting his abilities and is still loved by those around him. Herobrine is a great villain, but this twist with him being a type of evil side to Steve is really cool to see. I've never seen it played out like this, so I look forward to seeing where this goes in future videos. He's worked hard to keep that side in check and I feel that he's mastered that side to him.
Well done and thank you to the whole team for your collective work!!!
3:19
We can see true lore here. There are twoo factions that are fighting for ages and the middle world with warden under. Also we see third faction. They are like alpha legion. Theyre existence is questioned. They could be also heaven world for the third faction.
رائع جداً انا احب هذه القناه روعة جدا

The "take back the end" reminds me of "take back the night"
Time for a remix of the song now :P
The worst part of this animation is that it ends, top notch! Waiting anxiously for the other party

0:35 the moment i got nostalgia
I think this will be awesome like all your animations! I enjoy and love every animation which you post,I always support your channel,you are a little bit underrated, this channel need to have MORE subscribers. If someone asked me which is the best animation channel I will gladly say is Black plasma studios. You will always have me as a fan,whatever animations you will post! Good Lucky and all the best everyone!
BEST ANİMATİON VİDEO ON RUclips
Guess Steve's slowly getting corrupted by herobrine
Ain’t no one gonna talk about herobrine returning in Steve
I nearly died of joy at 8:03. The character development, even though there's no words and the plot is slightly confusing, is incredible. Keep up the good work!!
I'm glad the molten titan got a second chance at a great introduction, this definitely made it feel like it's more of a problem to the characters at the time, love that!
I have a few questions, like when did the Shepard girl make an alliance with the ender warriors? What does the Nether stand to gain by taking that single fortress in the End? Why does the traveling group decide to forget that they're being chased? And when did Steve learn to control the power of Herobrine? I feel like the Herobrine powers need more of an explanation, because up until this point Steve hasn't even made attempts at controlling it, settling on just wielding the sword as a sword instead of a power source, so I'm not sure what's happening there.
Having the ender dragon channel lightning was an interesting idea, it feels like they relied on it to win a bit too much, but it looked great, worked well with the story and the animation was overall amazing, great job!
With Steve starting to use lightning I’m getting a feeling hero brine is slowly corrupting him
Mmm same I also feel like that maybe Alex will have to fight Steve or something
Yay but in the last episode where everyone goes to the Nether realm
We see her (I forget her name but she had small wings good fighter and is she colored red I think) save Steve for some reason 2 reasons
1: is she's maybe have a change of heart possibly redemption?
2: because she knows that's herobrine in the first episode titled
"Herobrine return" (I don't remember the title) we see a flashback of herobrine/corrupted steve in a some time of floating castle and with all the big bad (i forget there names)but now in the present herobrine is no more and only a few people are still there so she sets to find herobrine I think when she finds steve she realizes that Steve is herobrine so maybe the reason why she protected Steve was she's needs him to be alive and well and left turn into his corrupted self thats why she capture Steve possibly forcing him to turn herobrine or making him corrupted so yay that's all I can say any one else have any explanation mine feels weird
@@Venny-Viyarami Her name is "Baroness" and yeah she saved Steve is because she needs him alive to get Herobrine back but I can't wait till the new episode comes out it was delayed tho so it will be released today or tomorrow
Question how do you "know" it will be tomorrow or today?
@@Venny-Viyarami Im just guessing it would be today or tomorrow because if you have a pc you can go on the "Community Tab" and theres a post about "The Great Rescue" from 2 days ago so I imagine it would be Today or tomorrow they release it .__.
nether vs the end - alex and steve minecraft animation
The dragon in this video when he powered himself up on his body kinda gives me the Toothless vibe from How To Train Your Dragon,Or maybe it was an inspirational from The Godzilla
Edit:I still dont know how can Steve control his Herobrine
Story idea I think is cool:
Steve and Herobrine are basically one so it's like green goblin or something and he tries to battle the Herobrine inside of him and throughout these adventures he sometimes goes out of control but at one point finally becomes one with Herobrine becoming really powerful. After all that, alot of enemies are really aware about when Herobrine was still around and they eventually know about Steve harnessing Herobrine(?). This puts him and his buddies on the run and I don't know where to go from there based on the animations I've seen so far.
Other than that, animation here is great compared to the last one and I like how characters from past animations are incorporated here. Kudos to you guys.
"The Enderknights returned during these dark times, long having been guardians of the Overworld. The two opposing realms clashed in a fury of inconceivable power."
Great thumbnail! I love it and I can’t wait to see this animation! Megste, Mont and everyone else who worked on these are making us proud :)
Appreciate it. Let’s hope you all enjoy it :D
I 😀❤️
@@Mont27P I enjoyed it a lot!
Me: Sees Herobrine/Steve use lightning-based powers at 4:11
Also me: *vietnam war style flashbacks of the 2015 Battle of TNSurvivalCraft intensify*
edit: the final battle over the fate of Herobrine draws near... oh god hopefully the aetherborn will lose this one... I don't think I want to see the events of 7.5 years ago unfold once more...
Your animations are so cool
I look at the factions fighting in the End and think: "Wait, are Alex and Steve's Adventures taking place in the Songs of War universe?"
Sure, I get reusing 3D assets, but the whole Nether vs End thing, Ender Knights, and odd lack of actual Endermen looks very Songs of Warsy to me. Especially when the Nethertroops aren't a canon Nether race and are using a Wither as their heavy.
Oh, and Steve has learned to channel his inner Herobrine while Alex has replaced her trident with a new toy. They still get bodied by Herobrine's suicidally stupid ex-minions.
Also, the Enderbees are cute.
This was an amazing animation! Can't wait for more!
And the dragon really just became Godzilla lol
Wow, I'm speechless. The team really puts effort into this, and its really worth it, this channel is legendary. You guys make our days so much better! These movies are amazing, the animation, the movements, the face expressions are so well detailed! And the storyline, the music, the locations, the places are so well built... All of my appreciation are yours guys.
I got a great idea that David should do, when you finish the series of Alex and Steve adventures, you should put all these episodes into one video like a movie, and also make scenes between the episodes to make it like a long story put together you know what I mean, that would be awesome.
David, because he's the director?
Wait, is he back?
@@HJ448 David is not an animator, however he is still the owner of BPS and manages it in the background
being honest here, I do believe that a series like this would benefit GREATLY from having voice actors. It is something that can get expensive, but the outcome would be worth it.
There’s benefits to both, but I would argue there’s more negatives to doing that, at least currently.
1, more expensive as you say.
2, would take probably more than double the time with all the extra pre-production, lip syncing and casting, voicing, etc. By itself, that’s big turn away for animations on YT since it’s not such a forgiving medium, only being able to post a few animations a year (per director at least).
And 3, probably the biggest is it makes it harder for other languages to watch our content. A lot of people that watch our content aren’t US or English primarily, the good thing with non-voiced content is it opens up to everyone.
I hear ya tho, would be cool, but not every project can practically have voices.
@@Mont27P Good points!
is that partly why songs of war ended :(@@Mont27P
My main criticism is that Alex hasn't actually gotten any real spotlight moments since the Enderman Attack episode during A&S Life. She wasn't in the Iceologer, and was only in a flashback in the dragon egg arc. Her presence in the Warden episode didn't really change anything (she knocked a potion off a ledge but nothing else she did other than grabbing the moss had an effect on the video). She was sorta a side character in the Nether War video, it wasn't really a problem in Nether War it's just the videos around it. Got her ass kicked the moment she started fighting in returns, and spent most of Rise of the Pillagers out of commission from injuries. She hasn't really gotten to do anything integral to the plot in a while, is all I'm saying
yeah I noticed that its mostly focused on Steve even tho its says Alex is the main Character out of these series but maybe in "The Great Rescue" something might happen .___.
@@vegemite6 It's worse when you realize the only episodes that Alex got to lead were Ocean Monument and Fox Thief
@@gerbilpanda1703 mmm yeah but I don't mind Steve being in the spot light now and then but if he's in it for too long it gets kinda repetitive I would say but I can't I wait till "The Great Rescue" comes out tho :>
Verdade ela e o Steve são os meus personagens favoritos, mais pra mim ela é guerreira, realmente precisa de mais foco nela.
2:12 How could the dragon cross through that very small portal? Also, you need ender pearls (or trapdoors) for crossing it.
9:17: Don't they take damage spamming the pearls?
Well this is an improvement compared to the previous animation. There're hardly weird details, the fights are dynamic and powerful. The Ender Training with tangible holograms is interesting and Steve using the Herobrine's power with his sword is amazing. It looks like only in this dimension he can use it. In previous animations he didn't use it, he didn't even seem to understand the power of that sword. but it's ok. And the epicity returns in the video and the fights, you can feel it. It doesn't make you scream of emotion but there it is, and that is good. The characters win the final battle with a bit of strategy and the power of Steve, and the Ender Swords are epic for me. You could teleport yourself only thinking where you want to go in real time, for example giving a hit in the chest and immediately later, a hit on the back. The animations are better although the expressions and gestures in the first part, with the ''dragon tamer'' worried for his dragon, are too much ambiguous for me.
I was surprised by the Fallen Angels taking Steve. I was wondering where they were. Also I thought Alex got a serious damage when she was hit trying to save Steve and she fall to the ground. But it was just a hit. No blood. No hurt. Not even a hole in her clothes.
I only hope the elytras don't break and leave her in free fall xd.
When the Titan emerged from the earth, apart of this is a new opportunity for using it and create a true threat with him, I felt it like it was smaller than the previous time. I'm not sure if this is true but well, the Titan is back again and now it's time of a true battle against it. Don't waste it plz.
Conclusion: It's better than the last animation, but I can't avoid feel like the quality still being a bit lower than the usual one. It's... standart. But don't stop for it. Continue, you can recover yourself and get your skills better!!
The amount of chills I got while watching this... absolUTEly stunning. It was put together so well, there's nothing I could even begin to critique on. 10/10! Can't wait for next weekend!
Wow😱😱😱😱
Otra vez viendo a las 3:00 minecraft 👍
Really cool animation! Amazing effects and fights! Everyone did a great job for this animation and its was an honor to work with you Mont! :)
Thanks for working with me :D
nice
Loved the Godzilla references right here 5:56, and 7:21, and the King Ghidorah reference at 7:06. This series has been getting better and better with every new video that drops. Love your work and keep on doing it Black Plasma Studios!
Thought I was the only one here.
@@cagitiruse-x7203 yo same lol

😂🎉
This is one of the best animation that are produced in black plasma studios, some scenes are kinda the same from the movie, "Godzilla king of Monsters"
My idol stive and Alex and Herobrine 😎
This was easily one of the best Minecraft animations yet! The music that was in the popular battle royale animation, gave me chills, made me realise how far this truly is ♥️
When about Nether Titan Bloopers?
I recognized her as the dragon girl *right* before it was revealed.
so glad there are so many episodes nearing the end of the last series to call back to and work off of.
NGL, this is one of the best animations I've seen from BPS so far.
Everyone is starting to get real, defined, talents, and are finally using them properly.
Can't wait for the finale, and keep it coming!
Thanks for the comment, glad to hear that. Omeleto’s finale should be epic :D
I freaking love these character designs for the end and nether occupants. Absolutaly wonderful.
Very cool
This is gonna be amazing I can tell by the background guys like this is probably the best animation and picture I’ve ever seen of a episode made from Minecraft or any other channel like this is interesting
When I saw the thumbnail, my first reaction was that it was a songs of war crossover… it baffles me how much the animations have improved since the series was cancelled, and i’m sure you guys would get tons of support if you brought it back, even at a much slower rate
I agree, but it won’t come back since the director of it has long moved on from animating, and I doubt he’d want anyone else to complete it. He’s making a game called Arcadian Rift now, you should check it out!
@@CobaltMagmaStudios PixelZnamation is working with the Knights of Ardonia to bring the series back in its original quality, I was just thinking that with additional funding and staff from BPS they would be able to complete it without david
@@gvn010 David is both the creator, the writer and guiding hand. I said that he wouldn’t want anyone else to complete it officially without him, not that they couldn’t. Songs of War is over, and while it’s sad, it’s over. David has long moved on, and most fan made creations of SoW are moving on too. I get peoples enthusiasm but constantly spamming “SoW season 2????” in whatever form whenever BPS makes another animation really doesn’t convince them to bring it back. SoW is over, but more stuff can come that’s even better than SoW. Just gotta wait for that rather than pester them for this.
@Cobalt Studios Yeah, for BPS to start on songs of war again without David is not a possibility. And also, I agree, most studios that tried to take on the task of SoW have given up. For example, Helios Animation has officially announced that they are no longer going to be working on Songs of War. Knights of Ardonia haven't released anything for months now, and last PixelZnamation talked about was getting more animators. It's been almost a full year since any good-qaulity episode 3 has been released (Helios had a good ep 2)
@@goldtx8797 Megste did improve for much of the latter half of S2 (though the eevee render was the only letdown for me), and it was great fun to work on the music for s3, which improved MASSIVELY from season 2's animation, as he'd animated both s2 and 3 at different points of his animation career. SoW isn't dead, but it can never come out officially from BPS ever again. And anyway, projects like Starfall prove that BPS is more than capable of moving on to bigger and better things than SoW ever was.
Guy this is so cool just like when Steve brings out a bit of herobrine

This was so well done, the beginning explaining what happened, the training scene, wich gave a sense of preparation, something that nearly doesn’t happen enough in modern movies again, the battle itself, the turnaround and a clever plan to win anyway…
Good animation 👍🏻
The best idea i loved is that Steve who was accepting his fate as the Herobrine itself and trying to studying his power in order to help others in battle. Also the newly flying Alex with elytra instead of Trident has another power on it, not even yet mentioning the Ender-Electro Dragon. I swear this was the greatest Alex and Steve life series by far.
True
It was so cool
