These are both short films that rely primarily on visuals to tell their respective stories, both of which are about memories of a deceased loved one.

Both involve a girl facing her crushing loneliness, unable to reach those she loves due to a separation of space and time.

- Short animes that deal with similar family theme and nostalgic feel - Both are set in a near futuristic setting, or at least a little more digitally advanced than our current time - Both have very beautiful graphics.  
report Recommended by toumei_
Both are deeply emotional and focus a lot on memories and how painful they can be, but how they also make us stronger and are necessary to let us move on. They are both animated by A1 pictures. 
report Recommended by TaliaMatsuo
Both are extremely short one-shots that manage to convey a large amount of emotion in just a short amount of time. Both involve the death of loved ones.

High quality writing for a music video.

Garakowa and Shelter explore the idea of enclosed virtual worlds which provide sanctuary for mankind in a post-apocalyptic environment. Both works are high quality productions with a central focus on their musical scores.

Both are greatly emotional and beautiful anime. Both have some kind of astronomical disasters in them. Both have great music. One is a music video one is a movie.

Coping. Shelter and Egao both feature a female who copes with what they have lost with the things around them, whilst it isn't human to human interaction it is still dear to them bringing forward quite a wholesome experience for them to remember for the ages. Both are great MVs that are very time efficient and pleasing to stare at if nothing else.

Desolate. Shelter and Je T'aime both feature a desolate world where the population is of minuscule scale. Shelter doing this with a lonely but imaginative Rin. Je T'aime doing this with a lonely basset hound only wanting to play fetch. Sad worlds where the solitary know all too much about loneliness. Both are good anime shorts you can watch very quickly.

Imagination to reality. Shelter and Beyond Creation are both short animations featuring someone who brings to life the things that they create via drawing.

Shelter and Kaigo to Ikiru are good stories dealing with family relationships. Although one is more upbeat than the other, both stories draw to the same conclusions, now is now, and the past is behind. That, of course, doesn't mean you are to forget the past but do not let it dwell on you either, as creativity and those currently beside you, are still there for you. Time-efficient, as well as great audiovisual. Would 100% watch both if I were you.

Western musician collaborating with Japanese creatives to craft a music video. One is pretentious and focuses solely on being visually impressive, while the other is fun and contains clever references to the album it was representing upon release. 
report Recommended by grymdylan
Both are about a father trying to shelter his daughter from a painful truth. Equally cathartic and heart-warming. 
report Recommended by Krainspotting
Towa no Kizuna and Shelter are music videos with good music and a similar looking main character. In both videos, the girl is creating and exploring her surroundings.  
report Recommended by Third-Impact
Both are very good songs with an interesting story. 
report Recommended by Sayaznk
To me, these are similar for the quality of their music, their animation, and their stories. Shelter might be a one episode story, but it still feels warm from the sadness that the main characters of both shows must feel when they think about their "end of the world" kind of past.

Desolate. Both Shinkai and Shelter follow people who are seemingly alone in some world, trying to reach out to whatever they can in such a solitary territory. Both are good music videos that have a combined time of about 10 mins.  
report Recommended by NextUniverse
Clannad's background side story, of the girl from the illusionary world, draws a lot of similarities with Shelter's plot, and the sort of melancholy which both scenarios provide through their storytelling and their beautiful animation feel like they're one and the same.

Different art styles and themes but both music videos were animated for Western EDM artists. Enjoyed Porter Robinson and Madeon's Shelter? Give Gryffin's Love In Ruins featuring Sinéad Harnett a try. 
report Recommended by IridescentJaune
Both are music videos with a poignant story that is conveyed through visuals. The stories have nothing in common, but they are both beautiful. 
report Recommended by Khashishi
Both are deep and beautiful short stories with well-written female protagonists. 
report Recommended by GreyStoneFlinger
Another song by Porter Robinson, the video is exceptionally creative, with a colorful pallet and artsy style. The video dramatically compliments Robinson's avante-garde style of EDM music. Very similar in style to Shelter, both in sound and visuals. Highly recommend it to any fan of Porter Robinson or anyone who loved Shelter.

-Kind of the same concept with the whole "mc is alone in the world" thing but Null Peta makes it as a bigger plot twist -Both have a lot of emotions but Null Peta has a happy ending while shelter has an open ending -both mc have a special someone(special someone: NOT in a romantic way) who built the world for them -The only difference is that Null didn't realize till much later that she wasn't in the real world Null Peta have 12 episodes, every episode is 6 min long. When all the episodes are combined its is 1 hour 12 mins, soooo.. kind of like a  read more

both tell stories about a girl and the virtual simulation realm 
report Recommended by Chika_tetsu
They both are stunning short animations with great music and definitively should get a full length anime adaptation. 
report Recommended by KingShulox
Both are excellent music videos with stunning visuals and amazing and memorable songs. Also both will give you lots of mixed feelings (sadness in Shelter and nostalgia and happiness in Gotcha) 
report Recommended by KingShulox
Both are amongst the top 3 most popular professional standalone AMVs (which is a rare kind since most AMVs are either part of a series or fan-made assemblies of arbitrary anime scenes and music), the remaining one is Interstella5555, the longest music album video ever. The videos both have a sci-fi setting, On Your Mark has a retro touch whereas Shelter is more futuristic, however the songs and stories are fundamentally different. Also worth mentioning is that On Your Mark's screenplay was directed by no less than Hayao Miyazaki.

After watching Flip Flappers I could not help but notice how similar it is to Shelter, as if it took direct inspiration from Shelter (hear me out). Both anime feature innocent, at first, female teenagers that explore an alternate reality completely unaware, at first, of why this reality exists. Later on, the protagonists from both series discover the nature of their respective alternative worlds and both anime leave the viewer with open ended questions that don't affect much post-anime reflections. In addition, both anime focus on themes of love (family and friendship love) and parental bonds. Shelter is much more emotional and focused on ambience, while Flip  read more

Two works that carry the memories of humanity and the beauty of the world through space in the hope of his own salvation 
report Recommended by JuanShot87
Both are stunning in terms of artwork, and huge tearjerkers. Both deal with subjects of loss and finding hope. 
report Recommended by venturegirl
Both have beautiful artwork that is similar in terms of character design and backgrounds. Although Shelter deals with loss of a loved one and Nagi no Asukara with the complexities of friendship and first love, both have a lonely, nostalgic feel to them.  
report Recommended by venturegirl
Both are music videos, with songs made from western artists, and have a well animated video to accompany them.  
report Recommended by Green
both tug on emotional feelings based on the parent-child relationship. albeit, Shelter will get it done in 6 min, Amaama to Inazuma will reuse the formula episodically (there's no greater arch) so if you like that feeling it keeps coming as the climax for each episode of sweetness & lightning 
report Recommended by Oniikami
Protagonist of both Shelter and Interlude lives in a simulated world while humanity extinct. At the end of both Shelter and Interlude the real nature of protagonist's surrounding becomes clear.

Both feature girls that are considered "world builders" where they can manipulate the space however they like. 
report Recommended by OppaiSugoi
-Both decipt a story where the main character stuggles with loneliness -there's a second party which occupies their thoughts -both have stunning artwork -both are really good songs with deep lyrics 
report Recommended by Cleansahina
Both are a short videos telling about a girl who lived on a post-apocalyptic world, which have some nostalgia on their somewhat sad memories. Also musics over words. 
report Recommended by You
Both of these are wonderfully crafted animated music videos that tell an emotional story to beautiful songs. Shelter and Crystal Clear both manage to tastefully deliver on themes of love, loss, and willpower through creative and often stunning animation in a way that is almost sure to leave an impact. If you liked one of these MVs, I definitely recommend you give the other a try! In a nutshell, I'd say that though they're short, both Shelter and Crystal Clear are out of this world (^_−)☆

If you wished that Shelter was a feature length anime, check out Girl's Last Tour. While it has a darker backdrop, it has bright moments as the characters make the most of a post apocalyptic world.  
report Recommended by AmericanPie
Both are MV that are well animated and very touching.

What happens when humanity is on the brink of extinction? Staking it out in outer space becomes an option. Pale Cocoon expounds on the mundane life of living in space, and can get dull eventually, but features a musical section that is as beautiful as Shelter. 
report Recommended by Phraze
Both mediums represent the simple concept yet tragic tale of longing. It explores the contrast between bittersweet realities and a yearning for a beautiful landscape and belonging. Set in a sci-fi setting where the characters are oblivious to their situation. Unable to distinguish the current reality they instead paint a beautiful world that is beyond the yonder of humanity. Upon the conclusions of their stories, the narrative shifts into the desire to carry on those memories; leading to a thought provoking ending.

This isn't a music video, this is Queen's song put on a manga video trailer. Each part is good in itself, but what's the point if only a few seconds seem to come together? In other words, the exact same properties as Shelter. 
report Recommended by Rei_III
In both series, the world comes to an end, and society as we know it in Japan collapses, but a woman speaking in Japanese tells the audience that we should don't stop believing and hold on to that feeling. But in Evangelion, it actually makes sense in the story and fits in with the overall themes of the work, and that's why you should watch it. 
report Recommended by Ord_CD
Both anime implement electronic music, the sense of 'escapism', and the feels. if you're not familiar with porter, he and madeon are huge fans of daft punk, but the biggest similarity these two anime share is confusing weebs by supposing they're not anime because their stories aren't written by japanese people. 
report Recommended by outman
Both are only 6 minutes with a futuristic Sci fi and psychological theme, with the main female leads consumed by loneliness. Things like past memories are play a vital part in both the anime.
