Awards:
Best Overall - Anime Iowa 2011

Anime: The Tatami Galaxy, Atarashii Sekai Music Video

This was my entry into Japan Expo this year. Sadly I didn't make the final 25 finalists, but I did make the list for the "selected and favorites" which meant I got shown at AMV France's anime music video booth they had set up, so thats pretty nifty. I also heard I made it into the Top 35 and was in one of the judge's top 10, so apparently I was super close to making it as a finalist. :O

Abstractly its about the modern day struggles of work and relationships and feeling stuck in a box. I'm not sure why I ended up naming it Outta the Box though, I just felt like it. Anyways, enough rambling from me hope you enjoy.

what's this anime about?

[Vosk21]

I love this show, it's a shame it doesn't get more recognition. Very amazing AMV too, captured the themes perfectly.

This AMV made me give this anime another shot. And I'm glad it did.  /thumbsup

I just saw this at kumoricon. It's very well made. I haven't seen the results of the contest yet, but good luck!

I had never heard of this anime before, so thank you for exposing it to me!
