To me Songs of War is honestly the pinnacle of fiction, and today marks the beginning of its return. Thank you Knights of Ardonia.

Songs of War is honestly the greatest fantasy epic in existence.

Allow the walls of time to show, history is being made today!

Big thanks to all the animators who put in hours of work to make this possible!

For a free fan project this is insane, there are moments when you can see its not OG level but at others it might even look better than OG

Even today, I don't understand how a studio like Black Plasma could cancel such a beautiful series!

I'm really proud of my team having worked on this project was one of the greatest achievements of my life, who would say that a group of fans could do something so good. ❤

All credit to David R.B. for bringing this magical series to life. 👌🙏

Congrats to everyone who participated and brung this amazing fan creation together. Respect. Whilst a lot of critique I would have, it's more a time to show the recognition it deserves. Great job well done to musicians, animators, directors, lighters and the many others who helped. Pats on the back.

long have we awaited for this my brothers, our days of waiting in the shadows are over!

I very much hope most people enjoy what this team has put out, it wasn’t perfect and had a rocky last week of production but the end result is still stunning.

Working on this project with other talented people was such a great experience. I'm so happy to see it completed after all this time!

Some real blood sweat and tears went in to making this episode and i’m so glad it’s finally out. Enjoy the episode everyone!

The animation for Luna is amazing.

I can't believe I'm seeing this... this is.... this is the best thing I have seen in the start of this new year! Maybe it's a good sign? I know it is! I love Songs of War. This is one of few my best universes I've ever known! I'm glad to be here ❤ I already know that Koa's production is gonna be really great so that's why I'm here and writing this, saying ,,good job". See you in the future :DD

That time has come again…. Phenomenal Job Knights of Ardonia! Bravo! Cant wait to see more from you guys!

I’d like to thank Luuk for recruiting me and giving me the opportunity to work on this and improve as an animator

Now boys and girls, we have a new mission... Get Eckosoldier to react to this! Also lets give all our support to the team for episode 2 and hopefully more! This was epic ❤

I'm sad that black plasma studios canceled this series, but it's nice to see that someone is finishing it for them.

This episode is unquestionably the best of all the fanmades and is close to BPS standard (especially the facial expressionss at the legionaire scene they're so good). Music at the opening before Senn and Galleous and the training montage is like BPS too Feedback: music was good, but sometimes not suitable (when Igneous was talking to Aren, the music should have been more bouncy, for this Helios did better) especially at 13:43 the music is pretty weird. Also why is Deathsinger's theme playing at the galleous and Senn part? a bit too much arm waving when Abbigail and the legionaire was talking, but maybe that's just a style Luna growls were a bit too deep for her age Music when Abbigail and Luna being surrounded did not reflect the tense and ominous mood enough, and sometimes the music could be louder (also the music should have sounded like Jalkar music to show they're of the same group) To be realistic, Abbigail should have been grazed or hit at least once, she can't be that pro Maybe put less battle cry sounds

This is motivating me to stop being lazy and actually start animating something again and try to make something half-decent.

Missing a small part from the script, but KoA did a great job, I really liked it.

My god, was it fun being part of this experience even if I didn’t do as much. I’m glad I stuck around so thank all of you :D It was one heck of a ride

finally after 2 years this masterpiece continues

I am so glad another company decided to continue this amazing story! Thank you to Black Plasma Studios for producing such an impacting story! Very inspiring! Good day!

Alright well here are my thoughts: the animation jumped a bit from being smooth to being a bit stiff but overall it was fine, facial animation was also pretty good, not much to say about that. The lighting was gorgeous, and the music was also pretty good, but sometimes it felt like the music was a bit too loud. My main problem is the pacing, it’s not terrible but it did feel a bit fast, especially the prologue, but I know that it takes a lot of effort to make something like this. The best scene was the fortzuka battle. It had good pacing, smooth animation, amazing lighting and epic background music. this is definitely the best sow S2 ep1 released, not to hate on others, they’re also good.

I can't wait, we really appreciate all this work you guys put into this!

Was grinning ear to ear the entire time I was watching this! Thank you KOA for making such an amazing sequel to this beloved series!! You guys did a splendid job - and a massive thank you to the team behind KOA who poured their hearts and souls into this without being paid for all the time they spent!! I cannot put into words just how happy I am right now, thank you ❤️❤️❤️

This is the best fanmade version for the season 2 hoping for episode 2

After years we have brought SongsOfWar to life again for the Season 2 🔥Amazing team and an amazing work, happy to be with you guys :)

"The Knights of Ardonia succeeded, bringing the episode to the Songs of War community at impressive speed. It brought new hope to the kingdoms of SoW fans and reminded many why they had joined the community in the first place, thus beginning 2022 on a high note." The 11th SoW episode, 13th wall of time.

hohoho its finally starting

how long has it been, over two years since Songs of War first started? Well, what are we all gawking at? The long anticipated episode one of season two's days of being worked on in the shadows are at an end, my brothers

Thanks to all the animators for making this amazing content that i really looked forward too and for payment maybe you guys can do a fundraiser or something

the deathsinger's smile in the thumbnail says it all

We greatly appreciate the amount of work put into this.

Damn, it's so sad that BPS wasn't able to continue the next season. I really liked Songs of War and thanks so much for this and I hope you guys continue to make more episodes of this! It wouldn't matter how long it takes because it will be worth the watch anyway.

* Long have i waited * Honestly, thank you for making this

This is to everyone! We as viewers and as watchers must do our part and tell others about this masterpiece! If we are to bring this legendary series back to life, it will only be because we give our undying support and tell many others and encourage KoA to continue making this! So I ask that everyone go to the songs of war movie by Black Plasma Studios, copy this link, and tell others about the Knights of Ardonia! Reply to the ones that ask when season 2 is coming out for it will give them hope! I believe that the time for the series has come again!!! Good luck everyone and let’s help make this series into a reality!!! Thank you KoA for giving us hope again and we will be behind for everything step of the way!!!

bro as soon as it gets to the intense bit hungry jacks ad pops up

Тот кто делал русский перевод - лучший!! Спасибо за плавную анимацию, надеюсь продолжение будет скоро! Отдельное спасибо всей команде которая делала эту анимацию.

Thank you for making this i was so disappointed like most of the songs of war community when season two was cancelled the episode was amazing and thank you for bringing back SOW

Those Glaciens and Chroniclers better include this on the Walls of Time

I can't believe Songs of War is finally back! After 1 year canceled, I already considered its return impossible. Thanks so much Knights of Ardonia for bringing this amazing series back!

The opening shots for this were gorgeous. Wow

Amazing, incredible, beautiful. I’ve waited so long for this and it did not disappoint. I really really really want to see episode two!

I'm honestly surprised people are still going on this. Watched the show when it was airing and I was left on a low when there was no season two coming. It has been 2 years and i am happy to see this. Keep up the work guys!

WOOOO this was great also shoutout to the VAs because they did really well

Totally worth the year and a half wait to see this, it was amazing! Great work KoA team! 👏👍

I love it even Carl came back to record the disclaimer voice line

Thank you for bringing this to life. I fell in love with the world building and intricate characterisation of SoW, and to see it getting continued feels amazing. Thank you.

How often will other episodes release? Will they release every week or every month? What can we expect?

Incredible, just as good as the original. Animation, voice acting, sound effects, all of it, on point! I also loved the back story/origin story/flashback scenes!!!

Glad to see that the knights of ardonia are around. The idea of this series getting a proper continuation by a talented team has me very excited! I hope we get to see more in the future!

As someone who's been following the production of this series from the beginning, words can't describe how happy I am to see this being continued. Everyone deserves a round of applause for the outstanding quality of the animation, music, and voice acting on a shoestring budget. I have no experience in animation or sound design, so my critiques probably don't amount to much, but what I probably noticed most was the molding of the sound effects and music with the scene. For example, the battle cries and music for Abbigail's fight and Fort Zuka Battle was overpowering where sound effects (stabs, weapon clashing, extinguishing flaming arrow) should have been prioritized. I also felt that the volume of the background music for the Senn/Galleous song discussion scene took away some emphasis on the seriousness of the conversation. Other critiques: Not enough shading for the desert village - I know the desert is supposed to be extremely bright, but all the more reason the shade should stand out more. The sandstone reflects too much light and doesn't show the subtle and rich shades of yellow the original series displayed. Too many battle cries/exertion sounds for Niika's fight - I only felt it was appropriate for cutting down the first arrow, bringing down both blades against the sword, and stabbing the necromancer. Even still, I think the sounds should only have been short explosive exhalations that last less than two-thirds of a second. Niika's fight sequence - I felt her moves lacked the feline grace and explosiveness of her character. Specifically, there is too much pre-movement before her horizontal slash at 18:10 to 18:11, and I think she should have used only the left hand for the slash while bringing up her right for the vertical slice to make the timing of the hits flow more smoothly and eliminate unnecessary movements. The speed of the slashes didn't feel fast enough, like she wasn't committed to hitting her opponent in the first place. The pacing from 18:16 to 18:18 also seemed unnatural. If it were me, I probably would have put the slash/death after the kick, followed by the realization of the skeleton shooting the arrow, then using the body as a shield from the projectile. 18:11 - The frames where the necromancer completely blocks the camera view of Niika really interrupts the flow of the fight. 1:52 - The Mendoris/Sendaris guy should have turned his body to the right and moved his left arm when he stepped forward with his left foot, makes the slash seem less robotic and fencing-like 1:56 - Deathsinger has too much delay/pre-movement during the fight: he should have been jumping 7-8 frames after his sword reaches its lowest position while raising it for the stab 2:01 - Reaction felt a bit slow; should have already been turning by the time the song was fired 2:04 to 2:06 - I think a more diagonal slash would have felt more natural and 3-dimensional 2:06 - Excessive slow motion; there was already one a few seconds before it 2:07 to 2:08 - The intent to kill doesn't seem serious to me. I would have made Zulius block the hit from the staff and get blown back against the side of the hill. I think this would better illustrate how hard the Deathsinger hits and show that both parties are really trying to hurt each other. 3:50 to 4:08 - Senn's training montage music was a little bit too loud 6:12 - Forget the transition? 😆 6:13 to 6:33 - The cut really detracts from the flow of the scene. A couple of clashes before backing off would have worked much better, and the lack of movement/circling doesn't fit the combative mood. I also feel that Abbigail shouldn't be waving her arms as much as the Legionnaire, since Abbigail is still considered a relative amateur when it comes to fights, so she should be more wary when facing a more experienced opponent. 8:31 - Abbigail's face: 🙂 8:39 - Could have chosen a better camera angle to continue the cut These were all the imperfections I managed to catch. I must repeat that I have absolutely zero experience animating or creating any kind of entertainment for an audience, so take this commentary with a grain of salt. I totally understand if these are ignored because of budget or time constraints, and please don't let the critiques detract from what the amazing team accomplished using the resources available to them. I will always appreciate any future episodes and wait patiently until then. Cheers! 😃😁

We've done it, and we've done it valiantly. Well done, fellow knights!

This will be a day long remembered!!! Long love the legendary series!

What a fantastic job! It was so fun seeing scenes that had been live-streamed as they were made; thank you to all the people that worked so hard on this!

Thank you so much for doing this! I long missed Songs of War and I am so glad to see it back!

Thank you guys for making this, cuz I was really bummed out by them stopping.

The animation is actually insane

HOLY CRAP you guys have outdone yourselves. Thank you for carrying on David's legacy. It looks so good. Can't wait for episode 2! I also can't wait to see what you have in store lol

That is beautiful. It’s the best version of a fanmade I saw.

Oh I can't wait!

I'm speechless, this is actually amazing!

I must say, since the release of Songs of war and the cancel announcement of the original studio I have been waiting for someone who would continue the work in a quality which matches the one of BPS. I thank everyone who is behind this for bringing this to YT and hope to see more content or maybe even an Episode 2. Thank you guys. Well done.

Awesome to see so many people taking up the mantle to bring this series back! amazing job all of you!

I am proud of you making season 2 great job with your videos :)

Its not as good as the product Black Plasma make, but I do appreciate you bring this masterpiece back to us. Thank you, and god bless

Thank you for creating this masterpiece.

Wow! This animation blew me away! I hope to see episode 2 soon!

Fantastic work! You have done an incredible job! Thank you very much, and may Grim be with you✨

Thank you Knights of Ardonia for bringing back this amazing episode

Finalllyyyyyy I needed this, thank you so much, I loved this series deeply and I was sad that they weren’t going to finish the story. But now that you guys are going to finish it, I’m so happy. I hope the song of war community comes back cuz of this.

Can we appreciate how much of a chad Ingressus is, he managed to tank an Aggroblast with ease and killed multiple Ardoni without songs

So yeah this is like my 10th time watching this and the more I watch it gets better I love how face expression is so good (well except abigail's part) it's just so detailed! I still hate how abigail's fight is unfinished But I guess I wouldn't blame the Animators they aren't paid and well... Have alot of other things to do So yeah here's my full thoughts about the animation I don't really like the part where Ingressus cries I mean the water is not cube which doesn't really make sense on Minecraft. I love the prologue the montage of deathsinger hunting the masters I can't tell the difference between the s1 animation and this Fanmade at that part Well the velgrin battle was good. My only prob is how they left that dead dude at the air even after a few frames they didn't animate him to fall down 2:03 Poor dud directly went to heaven The senn training montage was overall good aswell. No prob at all The Abigail scene yeah was fine It should be good when they had enough time to finish her full battle Lucan and Kiyoshi's interaction was good that's one of the parts where it has detailed face expressions. and the fight on that part is also really great The way kiyoshi just goes punching the enemy when he doesn't have his spear is cool and hilarious at the same time. The Igneous scene was fine. I just don't like how it wasnt so bright at the dessert I think it would be a greater scene if it is bright. I dunno why I just think The way Abigail interacts with Luna by talking is weird I mean how does she understand dragon language I think signs would be a better idea Senn talking with Galleous was a good scene and Nikka fighting the necromancers and taken over was a good scene Cause I also had no problems with it Anyways I hope you guys make episode 2 with this awesome quality!

Oh my god this was so good. I really hope you guys make the next episodes! I know it takes a long time, but this means the world to me and others that your doing this

This is soooo sick. Thank you for the effort you guys put in all this time.

This looks amazing. The quality is close to the original as far as fan animation goes. I can really appreciate the time and effort made to this project. Keep the good work.

I’ve been following this creation since it was announced and I’m very happy it came out! You guys did such an amazing job to the point where I couldn’t tell it was fan made!

that was amazing, I really enjoyed that, well done to everyone involved 😁

This is actually amazing, at times I almost forgot I wasn't watching the real thing. Congrats to the team that made this! And I genuinely hope you carry the story further and do the rest! :D

This was amazing, I can tell that it was truly a creation of love and passion, hope to seeing The Knights of Ardonia continue this series

This episode was amazing, the facial animation was awesome, the music is great and most of the fights are really good. Congratulations to all of you for your work

This looks very much like the first season, thank you for continuing Songs of War

Dude this is amazing. I've missed this series so much

This was so impressive! You could've told me this was official and I would've believed you instantly.

Thanks Pixel

Senn randomly falling down at 5:12 XD

Me: I made it for the stream! Literally 5 minutes before it ends My mom: TIME TO GO TO BED Me: NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

This looks great! It's wonderful to see this story finally continue, especially on such high quality :)

The return of a truly great series, sure, not by the exact same people, but that doesn't make it any less great.

20:35 Val breaking the fourth wall.

Very well done! Thank you for making this, very hyped for the next episode!

You guys are awesome! Thank you for all the time and talent spent on this, I really appreciate you for it

This was so awesome!! I’m so excited to see more, if all of you choose to make it. It makes me super happy to see so many people making something so cool as just fans.

This is the best fan made songs of war season 2 i've seen so far. The animation is pretty good except for some scenes. The audio is decent, some conversations sounded like they were separate conversations cut together but it is still very good.

Awesome to see it back, please continue, David put everything out there so that It could live on. So long live Songs of War.........great job.

Holy crap, this is really cool, i totally support this series.. good job for everyone making this incredible job 👍👍👍👍👍
