This is a short summary, because there is really a lot in this amv to discover, think about and to enjoy (hopefully). To get additional information, please download this pdf file:

So what´s this video about?
It´s an epic story splitted into video segments. Yes there are parralells between this amv and "Dead to the world", but please trust me: The only same things are the music artist and the fact that there is a longer story (my own) in it. Nothing more!

What´s the live action source?
The one is "Casshern", the most expensive live action movie best on a manga and the second one is "Dopplehertz" a film by Marilyn Manson. You can found the second one on the "Golden Age of Grotesque" CD as bonus disc.

Any techincal details?
-There is a use of live action material in it. The majority is anime and only one segment is completly live action. I don´t think that this is a problem for amv fans, because the segment doesn´t sting out as live action source.
-Be aware that there is a lot of experimental stuff in it. I think that fans of traditional action amvs will only have theire fun in 2 seconds.
-I don´t recommend this amv for people under the age of 16 or 13 at least.

Anything I can do to better understand this video?
-Deus Machina is latin and means: God Machine.
-It´s good to know what the core plot of the movie The Matrix and the anime Neon Genesis Evangelion + Raxephon are.
-To completly understand the segment (but it´s not necessary) "Reign" in this amv, you should watch "Animatrix - The second Renesaince". You´ll notice that the lyrics of the song "King Kill 33°" are working perfect with the footage.
