This made me tear.
Well done A1, the animation was great!

Definitely watch, it's worth the 6 minutes.

Also Reddit is going nuts at the moment cause their mods effectively ban any posts about Shelter since it's just not an anime according to them. It's insane.

The mods are actually retarded.
I don't really go on reddit but when this started happening i got a bit mad as its only the mods that dont consider it as an anime while everyone else does because it clearly is.

Even Porter Robinson himself made a twitter post about this farce.

It looks like a music video to me more than anything w/ visuals of anime-like stuff. It may show a short scenes of the girls life, but there's zero dialogue for 90% of the video.

Also, what ban? I see one on the front page.

Ah, I torrented this a while ago and didn't notice.

Been a while since I listen to any of Porter Robison's stuff. It was a really nice short and managed to hit some pretty nice feels.

And man, I knew that character design and animations looked familiar, just finished another anime where Megumi Kouno worked on, she does a great job at what she does.

Is MAL not accepting this?

But it was made by a well known Japanese studio with a Japanese VA and staff etc, true it only had a bit if dialogue in the beginning and end but i would still consider it an anime short more then anything, there is definitely an anime out there that has like no dialogue but is still considered an anime, also Hatsune Miku music videos have no dialogue but are still considered an anime according to MAL so i don't see why this cant be considered one if you get my point.

Reddit mods brought the original post back. They actually did a good thing. Not a single sorry yet though.

Also yes, this should get an anime page here (not just a type: music one)

The concept of that Music video reminds me of this video. Not saying that both Shelter and Initiation (the song below) are similar. But the idea of a world where it exists within their imaginations are shown in both.


Nonetheless, as both an anime fan and Porter's fan, I love this music video. It will be weird if MAL did not categorise this as an anime, on top of it, Shelter was made by A-1 pictures. I'm pretty sure that some Vocaloid songs have been categorised as an anime on MAL even though it was made independently (ie no anime production company contribution).

It's probably the 'not made for the Japanese' rule. There are a few other animated shorts done by Japanese studios that aren't in the database because of that.

Well considering the dialogue was in Japanese is would suggest its made for both Japanese and western markets. It should be on MAL its a wonderful piece of art either way.

This guy, Yonezu Kenshi is a musician/artist that often makes his own animated music videos. He's not anime director nor an anime producer, but I'm surprised his works are on MAL. If you compare Shelter with Yonezu-san's videos, I'd say Shelter is more likely to fall into the category of anime than Yonezu Kenshi's videos. I guess he has the advantage of him and his songs being Japanese.

Megumi Kouno did the animations for the concert scenes for the Idolmaster anime, entire dance scenes that aren't using CGI'd models like other idol anime. Comparing the two, I feel like this took less effort as there was less movement and they used more CGI for the background.

Canipa did a video for her a while back too if you're interested.

That's good to hear. We were all probably just overreacting since it just came out without much of a notice.

That was a nice story till 4:20 when I suddenly realised where this was going.... turned sad pretty fast. Still liked it.

Not sure why the link takes us to a channel that looks like it isn't from the original creators.... Credit (and views) should go to to where it is due.
