Shelter

     Porter Robinson is a musician whose work is heavily inspired by Japanese culture. He has gained a mass following and caught the eyes of a certain animation studio. Japanese studio, A-1 Pictures, loved his music and asked to partner with him. They came together to create an anime music video for his song, "Shelter".
     In this video, we see the lonely life of a 17-year-old named Rin. She spends her life creating worlds from simple drawings on a tablet, and realizes her true fate one eventful day. You can tell no detail was overlooked when they worked on this 6-minute animation. Every background and scene seemed to be carefully done. The colors wonderfully unite together and put no strain on the eyes. While awkward at times, the animation remained mostly fluid. When this was uploaded, it became a massive hit, though there was some controversy over whether this was considered "anime" or not. Below is the behind-the-scenes and the actual video.
