After working with you guys on-and-off for the last 5 years, It's such an honor to be a part of this new era! It seems like only yesterday that you guys were at 200k subscribers, and now look at you. We here at Avalon Online are with you, and beyond excited for what the future holds.
Ah now, time flies by, doesn't it?

I HATE SQUARES

I'll miss Black Plasma Studio... it was part of my childhood
It is everyone part of childhood, RIP BPS 😭
Totally agreed :(
it still exists, it just has a new name
Me too😢
@@LordofDiamondsMetal if it isn't black plasma, if the OG crew is gone, then. its lost its identity i feel, it really isn't the same channel, they just took the same account for the subscriber count.
It was my childhood, havent visited this channel for a over a year. Coming back for the memories, heartbroken to see you guys change the name.
I still have hope for this channel, hope you continue making these, good luck man.
same..
Same...
Same
I Came back after three years its good that the nostalgia is still here
dude its a name change not a over-do of everything they ever were. Its for good reason too they changed the name, the creator of the name “Black Plasma Studios” who was also the main leader of the group, was exposed to be a child groomer. After being exposed he tried to run away from the internet, so he was evicted from black plasma, and someone else took over
Rest in peace Black Plasma Studios. Feels weird to say after so many years.
I am proud of you for starting it all, D16.
Even though he passed away for the last time in 2023

I've been watching BPS in 5 Years.
As someone who's been watching this channel since 2015, I will miss the old name a lot...but that won't stop me from being excited for this new era. I am very excited for future projects you guys have planned for us!
I hope what this change will make what them make a 2 season of SoW...
@@rogergaleano6704I want it too but, The idea was made by dav1d... He was caught being a child groomer, So they discontinued it.
I would like to say a few words about it:
I've been following Black Plasma Studios, Squared Media at this point, for a long time. I remember the good times and the bad ones and I was always impressed with the creativity and care you put into each of your animations. It's a shame that Sam and Thomas left this scene, they both deserve a big thank you for everything they've done. I think they will remain in the hearts of the whole community.
Black Plasma Studios is not just any CZcams channel, it is a channel where sad and happy stories from the world of Minecraft come to life, which can excite the watchers and listeners and make them feel that they would rather be in the animation and stay there forever.
I'm so glad that even though Sam and Thomas left, the rest of the team stayed and didn't give up on that amazing dream.
I look forward to next animations and stories you create together in the future, either together or with other creators.
While it's a sad moment to see the OG days leave the community, it's a beautiful start to something wonderful that I hope will be a success.
You are a team that sticks together and has great ideas, be brave and please keep making your amazing animations.
Personally, I will try to support your work as much as possible, although I don't have many ways to do it. And I'm sure the community will help you as much as they can. Together we will get to the top of mountins and we will stay there!
It's a big change, but I'm excited to see what it brings. 😁

Less make this guy famousssssssss
Even though Song of War won't be continuing, we still can watch the fan made animations that were done by the other side animators of Squared Media.
The story is basically the same but the animation styles are a bit different.
Let the games begin...
Let the better videos begin! Btw that animation was awesome!
Indeed
You're going back?!!?!?!??!
Yeah 😅
And may the odds ever be in your favour.
Time for change, more importantly glad you are still a team! excited for the future I wish the "new" team/owners all the best ❤
Glad you’ll still be along with us for the ride :D
@@Mont27P He'll always gonna be with you.
@@Mont27P do you have plans on making a derp animation or agent derp 2 is the one you made
@@DarkB678 no, my animation wasn’t mentioned in this video as it’s still secret :)
@@Mont27P fine i will wait till the end of the year im sure what your making is crazy
It's been 2 years since I've visited this channel. I started watching in 2017 and ended up loving you guys and your work. I'm gonna miss the old name and you guys like Arbiter, Sam, Thomas, Roa, and Derp brought us great memories ❤
This took me on an emotional roller coaster. I was so happy when Songs of War was mentioned, just to have my soul crushed again when learning they werent going to continue. I am sadder than when they first announced no season 2
Sad to see the old name go, but I’m very hopeful for the future of this channel and I’m sure any changes you decide to make will only make things better!
Solo cambiaron de nombre ? O ya se acabó todo y será como Disney que se fue todo a la mierda?..
I really hope Songs of War can be retaken now with a new crew, i really enjoy that series
I think so
Description of the video says there won't be a season 2
@@mrbillybobjoe04 yes, but that was when the original directors where on charge of the project. I'm saying that now that there's a new team in charge continuing the series is a possibility.
@@Gabriel-sq7by this new video's description
@@mrbillybobjoe04 Oh... That's really a shame.
Thanks anyway for notifying me.
As someone who’s been a fan of the channel since before the Minecraft animations started, it’s a bitter sweet thing for a rebranding. But I understand that with new leadership comes a new direction for the channel too. I’m happy that the team will be creating more animations on a more consistent basis as well. I just hope that everyone is doing okay after the transition to a new era of the channel. It’s gonna take some time for me to get used to the new name but I’m excited for the future for this channel! 😄
It has been already a decade of memories for Black Plasma Studios. It only felt like yesterday.
Wishing the best for the Squared team. (hopefully you guys bring back sow someday)
It's sad to see my Childhood fade away, so many things have changed. Ever since the cancellation of Songs Of War Season 2/3, I personally think that the Channel slowly died. Sure, the Steve and Alex series and some other animation was a banger but it seemed like after the cancellation I didn't think any of the animations were that much of a hype anymore. Songs Of War is still and forever will be one of the greatest animations I have watched, the Music and Scenery is too beautiful to be true. But anyway times have gone by fast and I wish you all the best for your upcoming development of this channel and community.
ah yes songs of war...
I always waited for the sequel to songs of war but I didn't know it had been canceled
@@bagastian3125 What, really?
@@hmmmmm7972 yep! Bamboo studios are going to put FULL effort on the season 3! And Blitzbot will make the season 2 I think, because he said he has no plan on canceling the season 2! Even with the recent events going on!

I hope Square Media brings back Songs of War !
Sadly in the desc it says it wont be getting a season 2 :c
@@Baconator615 there is a hope
@@morganmiquel2712 No. The director of songs of war left black plasma studios a while ago
@@purpledshadow RIP :'(
Yap the second part!
Can we all just appreciate how much Squared Media puts in their efforts to make animations
I will miss the old Black Plasma Studio :(
I'm gonna miss the old brand, but seeing you guys create new things, new ideas, it's really exciting to see.
Congrats on 10M subscribers, btw! That's huge! Can't wait to see what comes in the future with Squared Media!
Thanks :D lot of cool stuff planned
@@Mont27P awesome!!!!!!!!!!! :)
Excited to keep working on projects for you guys even tho the OG crew is gone now. We’re all still super passionate about what we do, and I’m excited to see how Matt leads us over the next few years playing a more involved hand in things compared to the last few years.
Can’t wait for you guys to hear about everything else planned for the future :D
Glad that you are still animating here! Can't wait to see what you make!
@@SchediaStudios oh I’ve got something cooking, but it’s secret for now :)
@@Mont27P Oooo! Sounds good! Is it one of the animations that was shown in the video?
@@SchediaStudios nah. It was gonna be put down as “Secret Project” at one point, but Matt mentioned there were other things besides the 8, so that covers it
@@Mont27P Oh okay! Man, I really can't wait to see what you're working on! I guess it will be a bit different than the regular animations?
Mattsquared: We are the most subscribed minecraft animation channel.
Alan Becker: Are you serious right now?
BPS or Squared Media either way you guys have been such an inspiration to Armor Stand Productions!
I never expected this to happen. In ways I am very sad (very small change can be hard for me lol) but I'm also very happy for everyone on the team! I want to thank you guys for all the work put into your animations, they are so fun and entertaining to watch and they deserve much more than given. Can't wait to see where all of this will go! Now I need to get used to the name lol.
Appreciate the optimism :D
I think it will take a few people a bit to get used to the new name, especially cause of nostalgia for the old name. What we have planned should be awesome though to see unfold.
Matt’s a great choice to take over, we’ve already seen a much more positive and productive work environment, so that’s a good start for us. Lot of cool stuff coming :)
@@Mont27P I hope everything goes well on your future projects :D
Even tho im not really good at accepting changes on my surroundings (im still kinda stuck in the past), but this rebrand change is probably a welcome one and a change for the better :)
@@Maxsteel_4014 Thanks, Appreciate that :D
I am super excited to be a part of this new era! Hopefully with our combined efforts we can inspire a new generation of viewers and artists alike!
I just watched all of Songs of war and I am already sad that it was cancelled I will wait until it is uncancelled and my last words when I am on my deathbed in a lot of decades in the future will be when is songs of war season 2 coming out
I'm shocked, I came back to watch Songs of war again, to see that Black Plasma studios is now Squared Media, I'm sad that some of the team left to continue solo, but honestly really excited to see how the future plays out for Squared Media, and glad that everything before is still up today. Good luck with everything upcoming.
Man, Black Plasma Studios will forever be one of the best studios, from the old deep animations to songs of war, the walking dead animation was amazing.
Names are temporary, derp is forever.
songs of war may have been well designed, but the idea and plot was made by a child groomer
@@skeleton819is that why it was discontinued?
@@f1nki no it was discontinued for a lack of funds. a few years later david was exposed
@@f1nkiit was discontinued due to funding iirc
We'll miss Black Plasma Studios!
Yet we'll still be supporting them on their new journey as Squared Media 🔥🔥
Good luckkkkk💚
will forever support my favorite Minecraft animators ✨
Update on 20th September 2023:
On 3:33, We can see that there were a remaining 8 animation projects left and so far, currently 3 projects had already finished before the new upcoming animation movie in high school series at 3:36. Which is amazing!
I am very excited for the upcoming animation series in high school. I hope it is related to songs of war
I hope the Desert Temple one is a Alex and Steve animation because they haven't explored one yet
If you don’t mind me asking why did you stop songs of war?
Hats off to a new era! Im so excited to continue working with this channel and the wonderful people who run it!
Idk what is happening can u explain what is he talking about
@@Staterra.X oh ok because am trying to learn English and it's hard to hear what they are talking about
@@Staterra.X and how is it done? I don't speak much English, and it's hard for me to understand what she said
I hope this rebranding holds a bright future and a gorgeous era 💛
I dont know any "Squared Media", but i also know "Black Plasma Studio". Its gonna be in my heart forever!
Heyo! I'm super excited for that new tutorial!! I was literally watching the old ones just now and stumbled across this video wondering why the name has changed.
I'm trying to learn so I can enhance a 100 days video I'm working on! Hope it releases soon and thank you in advance for the tutorial!
Black Plasma Studios was better, Squared Media sounds like and even looks like I just copied that from Google images + name found in wikipedia
True. Black Plasma Studios sounded more original, Squared Media sounds too much like Square Enix and sounds too corporate. At least Black Plasma Studios had the word "studio" in it and "Black plasma" sounds like something in a fantasy/sci-fi story.
It’s just a name, overreacting. The name Squared Media makes sense now that they don’t make just animations anymore which is why it’s called Media.
@@mober7430 With the media thing I guess it makes sense since they are also making things besides animations. But it still feels like Square Enix.
Same it carried my entire childhood idk why I forgot abt it
For those who do not know. David (Owner) was a groomer, so after they got arid of david they're rebranding BPS into media^2 for a fresh start
not even surprised at this point
yeah, and a lot of other nasty things besides. it's kind of a shame that the announcement didn't touch on why David was ousted, but it's public knowledge at this point
@@LordofDiamondsMetal theyre trying to pretend it doesn't exist. "Moved onto better careers" like SERIOUSLY? Come on..
@@Miniminer1999 to be fair, sam and thomas did legitimately quit on their own terms, but yeah, I thought for sure they wouldn't sweep David under the rug. oh well, they are a business that is motivated by profit, and widespread knowledge of why they had to rebrand and who ran the place since its inception would be bad for profit. which also explains why David's content still exists on the channel. oh well, the knowledge is public so it's only a matter of time before everyone finds out
David did what…
I have known your channel for a very long time... I was very pleased to watch it. you grew, grew. more and more. I also found a black plasma studio and most often I watch the video “Songs of War”. I really, really love this animation and every time I watch it, at some moments tears come, sometimes it’s funny, and sometimes I understand that this is your best animation for me. thank you for all these years of effort and work, thank you for everything, black plasma studio! I actually didn’t think that someone would leave your team and you would change the name of the channel. all this is big news for me. I'm sad that when you were called black plasma studio, I didn't appreciate it. Now I want to go back in time and tell myself: “watch them, watch them every day, while they are called that, before no one leaves their team, because in the future this will happen and you will miss that atmosphere.
I want to say thank you guys again for everything! I know that you are trying very hard for us, and if you ever leave CZcams, I will go to your channel every day and see if there are new videos?
I hope "Song Of War" will be continued and finished. I very-very love this animation, it's my favorite. I don't want to think, what I never will see it in the future.
NOPE!
Not happening.
OKAY... The upcoming animation projects are really cool! The Zombie apocalypse series!? Enderman!? Agent derp!? But the thing that really caught my attention is "Wither Storm"
I can sense you guys making a collaboration with element animations
This'll be a huge stepping stone for the future of this channel, hopefully everything goes even better than before 🙏
I will certainly miss the old studio, but everyone misses the old things especially when it's tethered to one's childhood. I'm excited to see what the future of Square brings ❤
I'll miss Black Plasma Studios. Songs of war and other movies were awesome and to this day I wish for a sequel. It feels like only yesterday when you guys had 200k- I'll surely miss the name but I will continue loving the stuff you make 🎉❤
Eh estado ya años viendo estos videos con mis hermanos menores que les encantan mucho las historias, entornos y diseños que han traído estos años creo que llevo 5 años o más viendo estas hermosas animaciones y espero poder estar más tiempo disfrutando de ellas, se nota el trabajo y empeño que se le pone a cada video y el extenso universo que se ha creado en torno a distintas especiales, esperemos nuestro Derp favorito siga causando líos o estando hay para ayudar a todo a que que lo necesite, aunque no soy muy bueno en el inglés me alegra poder entender lo necesario para seguir amando estas Animaciones

none of the people working on this channel were working here even 5-6 years ago.
I got so excited when you mentioned Songs of War. even though it was just a camparison.
Really looking forward to that minecraft animation tutorial. I wanna get started with animating myself and thought about doing a blender course but that would include so much more and seems a bit intimmidating as a whole. Maybe getting started with just minecraft in focus isn't a bad idea.
Like others have said, I will miss BPS, but the rebrand and the many changes planned for Squared Media has me excited for this new phase and the many things in store down the road!
All the best to everyone at Squared Media to a new era!
So long BPS...Hoping for this rebrand to be successful and would love to have more opportunities to help out on whatever cool stuff yall have in the works.
Can't wait to see what is next too!
It will not be successful
So sad that songs of war isn’t going to go into season 2… that was my favorite by far
I bought some Merch when Songs Of War came out (Still feel sad the plug got pulled on that project ngl) I'm gonna miss Black Plasma but I'm excited for what comes next
I am excited see where the channel is heading now. BPS was the main reason I started creating minecraft animations or even why I started playing the actual minecraft game lol. Looking forward to any new animations coming out from the squared media directors!
Let the games begin...
Really awesome to see this channel expanding further from just Minecraft. Excited to see what you guys create! 🔥
Auras t'il une suite à Song Of War
black plasma studios is based and the best minecraft animator of youtube
I know this isn't much but , if you may i'd like to get an update on what will you do with the series of (songs of war) .
I am not bragging for you guys to continue it , but, That series has touched me and nothing stops me from ever missing that amazing series that you guys have created 💚
50K…!?

Hey fellow Indonesian👋
Check the description to know the answer buddy
Ah yess thx
I understand that changes have to be made to fit new times, but hopefully we can still see the Minecraft animations that made our childhood
Please bring back the masterpiece Songs of War as it was THE BEST minecraft animated series ever and the story is the greatest of all time and a huge part of the community would love to see it procced to S2 and S3
I always liked your animations 😊 and I'm glad that more animations are on their way!
Super excited for the future of this channel. Its going to be really hype!
Also fingers cross for some Lone animations
fade you
simp
when you said lone animations do you mean the alex and steve series character?
Great to see you guys are back! I love the proffesionalism! And The New brand seems cool! Lets hope the 3 month break wont do too much damage to the channel! Expanding to diff project and different communities is definitelly a good marketing strategy to target more customers!
All of these new animations seem so cool! Also dan bull bee rap confirmed???
I'm glad they are becoming bigger but i miss black plasma studios, and of course we need SoW S.2
Sometimes change is a good thing even if it's hard to let go of the past.
This change has been definitely good so far and I'm super hyped about working with this community and Avalon
Let's get this business going! >:D
Hoping this new era will be better for the new brand im excited to see what new stuff the team will bring i was here since 2016 i miss those days its all memories now. 😃
This is super cool! I was worried the channel was sorta slowing down and might shut down like so many other minecraft channels have. It's so nice to hear it's staying around for awhile. I'll miss BPS quite a bit, the old icon was sick, but things do need to change sometime or else nothing gets better! :D
I love that's old logo cuz that's so amazing and the name too i love it thats one ( i'll miss this very much 🥺😢😭
A part of me will miss the days of Black Plasma Studios, but I am looking forward to what we can do even better as Squared Media. I hope this is true for all of you as well.

Good bye Black Plasma Studios and hello Squared Media. ; )
I hope this new era of the channel brings a bright future. I can’t wait for what happens next.
6:43 Alright! Can’t wait for the next animation.
Hey I was wondering when that Blender minecraft animation tutorial was gonna be released. I was hoping to dig into it during my stay at home vacation in a week 😅
I still typed black plasma studios on youtube to watch their content because that is iconic logo and name that is stuck in my childhood forever.
Yeah, I do the same thing
Guys, I got scared when I saw a different channel in my subscriptions, then when I go to see both the name and the photo of the channel it changed, it was Black Plasma Studios, different 😅 but it still looks beautiful 👏🏻❤️
A legendary era is now beginning! Best of luck to you all!
I will miss you Black Plasma Studio..you made my love for Minecraft animation
I did not know that they are changing i just remember that this channel was a part of me i went to look it up again and i noticed that the name was not Black Plasma Studio i got confused until i have found this video.I will miss you Black Plasma Studio.
I didnt really expected this change but i really like the new ideas and era of Black Plasma Studios as Squared Media. I wish that you guys will the support you need and all the best on your future projects. I would make this longer but gotta go and watch the new animation lol
Hi, I'm from South Africa and the community has inspired me to work on my own minecraft animation series, I am also next year applying to the Animation School University of Cape Town, where I can further my animation experience so thank you so much for this comeback. For the past years I have been working on a series similar to SoW in terms of setting and using the channel's methods of animating and storytelling, love what yall do and excited for the future.
As an old veteran of this channel, I'm sad to see the name of the channel go, back before I even had an email and CZcams account I was watching the old Halo 3 machinima's, that's how long I've been around this channel, and I want to just say, thank you for the long but amazing ride to this day, its been an absolute pleasure and seeing the channel grow and go to new places makes me smile, take it easy gentleman, I hope the best for all of you❤
I miss the old black plasma studio.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE SECOND SONGS OF WAR.
I’m gonna miss Black Plasma Studios and the old branding too. But I can’t wait for the future animation projects.
The new name will have some time getting use to but I'm am very excited for the new animations the names seem like they'll be really good :>
My... Childhood.... That i grew with is..... Gone... All..... Gone... I'll miss you old friend
Oh man....... I remember watching things like that old machinima of the blood blade being a scientific revolution... or Rise of The Spartans... those two are by far my most memorable, I was almost certain BPS would be dead. But here we are with some videos getting *Hundreds of MILLIONS* of views... good goin black plasma!
Edit: To clarify, by still calling them Black Plasma, it is not to disparage, it is simply habit, as I'm sure I really don't need to clarify as we are all nostalgic of this stuff, but I am self conscious ig LOL!
Can still remember when this was a Halo 2/3/Reach Machinima and Game Night CZcams channel that had 25,000-50,000 subscribers. Don't really watch the content here anymore, mainly subscribed for history purposes, but it's fascinating/feels good to see this growth since the switch to Minecraft. Sad to see Arbiter leave though and the channel rebrand. Doesn't really feel like Black Plasma Studios anymore and more so other people taking it over for the subscriber count. Nothing lasts forever though and everyone moves on to new things. It's just nice to know the original crew has done well for themselves while pursuing other projects they're passionate about and that they'll be keeping their legacy alive by handing the keys over to someone else to keep it going.
David was a bad person he was a pedophile
Most of the crew although not OGs of course have been around for 3 years or more and we all seem to love our jobs, so I wouldn't say taking it over for the sub count. Striker and MichaeL are the only 2 "new" directors who have been here for about half a year. Matt I can vouch for being around since 2016, possibly earlier, so still some good roots to build from between all of us. But for sure it'll be interesting to see how things go. Appreciate the comment :D
for anyone who's wondering, this is "Black Plasma Studios"
WE WANT BLACK PLASMA STUDIOS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I will miss the og black plasma studio
Black Plasma Studios... Is evolving! It's finally good to hear from their channel after 3 months!
Black Plasma studios was iconic.
5 month late...
Me: oh no...
Others: Damn this is cool
Looking forward to seeing the new directions this channel is going!
Been waiting for this announcement. I, like many others, will miss what was, but with high hopes for the future of this channel. Good luck to everyone at Squared Media, and to the two who left. Change may bring fear and trepidation, but change can be good and bring greater things.
I didn't think that Songs of War wouldn't get a second season, I believed that it would, but I don't think it's a problem that there won't be a second season. it was a pleasure to watch the animations, but I think the majority will be sad.
The project was simply too ambitious
im pretty sure people have known it was cancelled for a while now...
A moment I thought black plasma studios didn’t exist anymore until I saw this 😂
I didn’t realize the change until someone said that one of your vids was “Black Plasma’s” not what it is now. I will keep saying BPS because it’s what I’m used to and learned to love, but this is good to know.
Very sad to see the brand name i have been seeing all these years go, but life goes on, so i also welcome the new one with open arms! Glad to see the beginning of, hopefully, a success rich era! :)
What about Alex and Steve Adventures and Starfall ?🤔
Apart of that, wish you the best !!
