Origins part was really interesting, when that static part came I was like "wtf" o.o. After that, for me it just was boring =/. I'm really not a fan of AMV's like this with an overload of cool effects and crap so I couldn't get into the rest at all.

Well, I'm absolutely disappointed by your work on this vidéo. You really put lots of efforts to make a video in a new style, with lots of visual effects, with a nice concept and whatever you want but in the whole I didn't like the video at all for some reasons.
- The noisy transitions between the differents songs are kinda disappointing because as a spectator, we never had the time to really enter in your video.
- Concerning the visual effects, it's interesting but I think it's just not enough clean. I understand this is a choice to bring a dark mood or something to your video, but it just didn't work for me. Too much things that distort the animes you choose.
- I'm not a big fan of Dark Tranquility so it didn't help me to appreciate the video in the whole, you know.

I loved Endless Sky, and I liked your latest Iron Chef, and I was so much happy to see your new video, but no, it really didn't work with me. Sorry Alex. Well, I hope I'll like your next work.

Bye

I'm a guy who loves effects so this naturally fell into my top 20 list. But I gotta say, Them effects were totally awesome and I can really see the effort you put into this one. All those beyond amazing textures and all that you customized...
Spent a year making it? A year well spent, I'd say.
And Krystal commented on those transitions, well, the first one scared the living shit outta me. My face was about 2 cm from the monitor with volume on real high, so I almost shit my pants, and that element of surprise truly worked on me. The loud and scary noise was just sweet, and after each transition you changed the style, so you didn't have time to get tired of the effects

One think I am wondering about is them animations in the beginning, the spinning things. did you make them or did you use anime footage?

I dig it.

This noise between the parts was just too loud and nasty, but the effects really please me. My complain goes to the visualy too simpel beginning Ergo Proxy part.

Less is sometimes more.

No. I don´t think so this time. It was alright here. It serves it purpose of beeing an effect festival and it made a fine job.
That´s the kind of good videos that actually remeber me why I still like watching amvs.

I think there is clear divide emerging amongst us here with the same old effects debate... At least one thing I think everyone agrees on is the level of effort put into this project, which is highly admirable.

Hi Warheart,

I'm agree with DK, audio transitions are a little disappointing. (And Dark Tranquility isn't my cup of tea)
Visual effects are attractive, but totally random for me.

Well, it's a not a bad AMV, but i prefer your last creations.

Cya.

Really interesting video unlike any I have ever seen before. Just the other day I was lamenting the lack of artistic merit in AMVs, and then along comes this. This is a pretty awesome video, I did think a few of the transitions could have been handled better though.

Visually impressive, but too random and cuts are too small.
