These two shorts both take place in a futuristic setting and tell the story of a lonely girl. They also manage to convey how painful being separated from your loved ones can be.
- Both express the same emotions, sadness and loneliness
- Both have short runtime
- Both use the same plot vehicle to create these emotions, long distance separation of interstellar dimensions
- Both have very undeveloped characters
- Both use the imagery trends of their time, Hoshi no Koe has mecchas. Shelter has moe beauty
- Both put visuals over story and characters, being sort of graphic demos of their era
- I'd go as far to say that both are the same short, just separated by 14 years of progress in animation and different runtime.
Each of the main characters has been separated from their loved one. In both Shelter and Voices of a Distant Star, the protagonists are driven by the hope of reuniting once again. Makoto Shinkai does not disappoint in their first film, and Shelter is well worth your time as it’s only around 10 minutes long.
