Well hot damn. A collaboration between A-1, Crunchyroll, Madeon, and Porter Robinson? Wonder kind of doors this will open up for future collaborations.

This was pretty good. Beautiful visuals and Madeon's music fit perfectly.

Damn that was really good!
It wasnt the best thing ever, but it told a clear story in the time it was given, though most seem to like, it saddens me that the top review is a 1 written by a total elitist
Regardless, great little short.

OOOOH MAN what a good music video done by A-1 and Porter.
As a big fan of PR and Madeon, I used to think about Porter's Worlds anime ideas (as well as Madeon's Adventure anime) before Shelter anime was announced.

Kouno (who's the sakuga for iM@S and iM@S Cinderella Girls) did a great job here, animating some beautiful moments..
Oh well. I'm legitimately crying after watching Shelter.

Stuff like this is the argument for anime not being a mistake.

Story-wise this reminded me a lot of video game SOMA


Cried my eyes out. That last shot is so damn haunting.

At first I was a bit lost; it seemed like it was a lame attempt to make some complex symbolism or whatnots my pathetic brain wouldn't be able to understand. Then the flashbacks happened...

I'd kill to see a full movie for this. ;__;

Don't really get why people are praising this so highly. It wasn't bad but it wasn't amazing like many people are saying. Sure the animation was nice but that's about all I could say that was really good from it. To me this just seemed like a music promotion method. People are saying it was so emotionally gripping but in my eyes it just uses cheap tricks to make people perceive it that way. Well whatever, just different opinions I suppose. But I aint fooled by no cheap tricks.

I felt nothing.

The only loli that ever gave me feels was that 1 in Aldnoah.Zero (forgot her name... gomen!) when she was driving a humvee like a boss. ;~;

I don't even add music to my list so f me I guess.
Except for Interstella because that one is long and that's how I like them tbh. Nice and long.

I came for this comment thread. Half the people doing cry faces and half the people being super cool edge-lords.

I liked it a lot but it ticked all of the boxes for me. Liked the music alot, loved the animation, had a cool little idea that reminded me of SOMA and another sci-fi movie I saw years ago about a space ship that just carried a virtual reality fake world for people to live in.

Hinted at a cool world behind the music video and I'd like to see it get explored if they decided to make a movie or show out of this.

Please note to everyone though. This is a 5-6 minute music video. It isn't a 26 episode long anime series. If you are going to complain that "It used quick tricks" or "It was cliched" or "It didn't explain X well enough", you need to reevaluate your snobby attitude because that's just gotten to a sad level.

Wow. That was an amazing music video. Simple, yet inexplicably beautiful.
A great reminder of how animation can convey strong feelings and themes through the simplest of stories in ways nothing else can.

so she is travelling in space for like 2000+ days? where is she going? is planet earth dead thats why she was sent to another habitable planet by her father perhaps?


We've seen in this video that some planet is going to crash with earth.

Here is one theory from reddit, too.

'Soooo, on the last few frames, we see Rin in the ship.

Pay attention to the UI in the background, you can a trajectory.

I though about it, and the direction of the trajectory doesn't make much sense : it comes from outside the system, toward the star. It doesn't look like an aimless trajectory, and I think the ship is landing soon.

Since we know the ship has been sailing for 2539 days or about 7 years. How about we look at the nearby stars within 7 light years. Alpha Centauri an Luhman 16 are candidates, as they both have known planets (and maybe more)

So yeah, her father had a degree in VR, space engineering and life support :)'

Written by https://www.reddit.com/user/reblochon


1 light year is the distance travelled by light in one year. It is a nice theory, but I am doubtful that her spaceship can travel at the speed of light.

This is the only AMV I like, 100x better than other dreadful and boring AMV I usually came across.

Usually it's the boring battle scene + linkin park music

Everyone's talking about FEELS and I'm just here... Confused as to why, unimpressed, thinking "That was it? THAT's what all the recent hype was about?!".
Maybe my taste in music (no idea what genre the song was but definitely not my style...) and lack of attachment to the artists left me hanging? :/

I feel like I'm gonna be in the minority here...

Yeah it was nicely animated and generally looked good, but I just couldn't really connect with any of the emotions. Didn't really think the music fit that well either, but I've never really been into that type of music much so maybe that's why.

I gave it a 6 overall, it looked solid but didn't really have any emotional impact on me

Basically my thought in a nutshell and for a 6 minute AMV to fulfill that + that dope music and animation by A-1 yeah still can't believe A-1 did this is a plus for me.

Never heard of both Porter Robinson + Madeon before but because of this great work, I think I'm motivated to look at their works in the near future. Really do hope to have more of these types of AMVs in the future.

Better of dead?

First, I dont have any background information, so the following thoughts are just assumptions from what Ive seen and thus my own interpretaions.. Feel free to correct me.

So, I think planet earth or another planet was near destruction and she was send in a capsule by her father into space with the hope to get found by another alien race or something else? Probably to
1. not get mad and
2. to save energy
she is put into a sleep and lives in a virtual dream world where she can create/draw her own visions and fake realities.

But this VR world doesnt seem to have any AI nor any connections to other humans floating around with her, so she cant create nor interact with other beings. It just seems optical and thus meaningless in my opinion. The way it seems it is quite unrealistic that she will ever be found or saved and she will spend her whole live in her dream world, which totally suxx.

You either create a world as Matrix, where you can interact with other human beings or with an AI, but the version presented in this short music clip seems so horrible. She probably will last 80+ years with neverending flashbacks of her childhood and her drawig some meaningless fake worlds. Her existence is meaningless and actually is literally a life time torture. Imo it would have been better, if her father didnt send her into space at all and would have spend the rest of their short life together on earth. Such a depressing setting.

Reminds me of "The Veldt" both the novel by Ray Bradbury and the song it inspired made by Deadmau5. I loved both of those and I love this shit by Porter Robinson and A-1.

Hands-down the best music video I've seen and I will get the song for sure.

Fuark I hope the video goes viral and becomes a huge hit.
