| I expected some overhyped crap. Being proved wrong never felt so good. I hope there will be something more. It looks like great setting for a movie. |
| Ew, the song is horrible. |
 |
| man i am soooo happy that Porter and Madeon did this together with A-1 and Crunchyroll. This is so good!certainly the 1st of its kind and i hope it continues to be well received |
| Seems like this is the new Me! Me! Me! then (short anime film that goes viral and generates a lot of buzz) The story feels like kind of an underwhelming feels grab to me but I love Madeon so I still approve |
| I love how the top review is basically "I don't like it cuz it has a cute girl" this was beautiful, and very inspirational. I was quite iffy on what this short would come about since I thought I was just browsing landscapes and scenery, but it tied together quite nicely. Not a huge fan of the audio though. 8-9/10 |
 |
| The moon or small planet will fall on earth in 2066, seems legit. 8/10 |
 |
| I think it was alright, impressive in terms of visual quality and the song itself is catchy with decent style. I can't say more than that though as I'm not a big fan of anime music video so for me, it was just fine. |
 |
| This was amazing! I already liked the song a lot by itself but for it to end up having an anime music video for it BLEW MY MIND!!! It's also good to see that it's getting a good bit of popularity too, trending on FB and youtube. |
 |
| I've never heard of Porter and Madeon before and I only knew about Shelter through an anime website, but I decided to spend a few minutes to listen. It was so beautiful. So it starts with a girl with a tablet that she can use to create gorgeous landscapes by will. She hadn't had contact with anyone for roughly seven years. Flashbacks of her father suddenly start because of an unconscious memory and she now questions if she's able to withstand the loneliness. The tablet then created her hometown and made her experience the event leading her to all this. A planet crashing down the Earth and the father trying to save the girl with a high tech spacecraft. She finally gets a message after all these years and it was from her father...turns out that the last human in existence is floating in space in a comatose state, seemingly never to wake up again. It certainly was tragic now that I think of it... :'( |
 |
| Not really good. The song didn't leave an impact for me but the art is outstanding (considering it's from A-1 Pictures which their works recently suck). After all, the best short anime for me still Tsumiki no Ie. The story telling of that anime is really great. Finally for this short anime, give 7/10. Art is really the best one here. Story? not really |

| "How to take talent and turn it into something bland." You can see there were some talented people behind this animation, but overall it was nothing special. I guess that is A-1 pictures in a nutshell though... |
| For 6 minutes, i am content with the amount of story it was able to deliver. Not sure why the rating is so high, it's good but nothing amazing, felt like a music video with a little more to it. |

| Someone translated the message that CR forgot to do. Now this anime is ten times more sadder... ; . ; LINK |
 |
| Some scenes that catch my attention. |
 |
| Okay I rewatched it and after stumbling around a bit, my views about it changed. The animation is amazing. Makes the video highly rewatchable. And the song is pretty good, it brings out the feels well. Now the story is. At first I thought it was trying too hard, but then I realized that it was just conveying as much as it could in 6 mins. Despite that, there were lots of little details which can be picked up in only 2-3 listens, so it makes it a success. I'm interested in how it would continue. Reading the lyrics of the song, the girl is definitely up to something. Some of the theories I read were really interesting, too. Still found the whole father sending the daughter to live alone for God-knows-how-many-years to be a bit wrong. He did it with good intentions, his fatherly instincts took over I guess. Maybe he wanted her to grow up to be at least 18, an adult before the reveal comes up. Definitely 8+ |

| "Oh, a music video with mean score over 8? This must be something really good. And there's even Kanamewo in Reccomendations. Must watch fast." "Studios: A-1 Pictures" Oh for fuck's sake, was there ever a good drama made by A-1? The story was boring, the music was boring, the animaion was average. Especially the music, it was so... uninteresting. There are much more interesting anime MVs out there and this doesn't deserve it's rating at all. |
You all need to watch Nami. |

| That was average at best. Really don't understand the hype.. |
 |
| Visuals were fairly good. Song was meh. Definitely trying to gun for feelz. It's ok. At this point, the word "overrated" would suit the video best. For the question, is it anime or not? Nope. It's a music video. |
| I don't get the hate behind it. Big forum discussion about it(was removed what the heck?) and decided to watch it. It's the first music "anime" that I watched. I gave it a 9/10 I don't really know how to critique something this short, but it has great visuals, great music, the music went fairly well with the visuals, I don't get the whole "bad drama" people are talking about. It's a 6 minute music video I guess people are comparing the plot and storytelling to of something like code Geass. Seriously, someone who thinks this video is no good, link me to a music 6 minute anime that you would describe as incredible so I have something to compare this video to |

Josef27 said: The song isn't bad, the animation seems nice. Disliked the story behind it when I tried to understand the story. Isolated for 7 years and more because of dads egoism, I don't want that! It's darker than SOMA imho Felt more like "The Matrix" more than anything else. |
| I'm thinking this could be a nice double episode (48 minute) ONA which goes into more details about Rin's world and how she came into that. The video was done very well and did a good overview about her and her world. Now I want to see more of it. Yes, the idea of living inside a computer world has been overdone, but this has a different feel because it was based off a surviving alone vs. either choosing or being "kidnapped". Katsu-kun said: I wouldn't call it horrible than it's not that good. It's not the best song I ever heard put to a video. It felt more like mood music to elicit emotions, much like music in movies.Ew, the song is horrible. |

| What if the Hokey Pokey is what it is all about? |
| That was pretty good. Reminded me of the game SOMA. So is she the last human? I think she is. I feel like death would've been a better option. What can she do? |

|
| IT WAS TOUCHING. I've watched it at least 5 times and teared up every time. However it does leave me feeling a little hollow and brings forth some questions. One of them is, if she is in a virtual simulator that allows her to create whatever she wants, why is she incapable of creating a virtual companion for herself to chase the loneliness away, even if its only temporary? Did her father not have enough time to implement a feature for that before the world would end? Or did he just not think of it? Its a bit cruel that he doomed his child to seemingly an eternity of loneliness ( T least until her eventual death. She is human, after all ) even though he meant well with his intentions. She would have been better off dying with him, so then they would at least have each other in death. (I'm also wondering how she's still alive, especially after 7 years. Does the machine pump her full of the nutrients and things she needs to keep her alive?? But I guess that's not important ) Its even sadder at the end because now that she knows of her origins and that what's lost will never be brought back, she'll be even lonelier than before and for the rest of her existence. It was a very bittersweet story and ending, but touching all the same. Ahh, also leaves me wondering what would happen if an asteroid crashes into her ship. Did he plan for that as well? I guess we weren't supposed to think about it in depth since its only a 6 minute short but still. |
| porter robinson should stick to producing crappy music |

I think that at 5:31 you can see a trajectory leading to some solar system. Maybe her dad sent her to another planet? https://youtu.be/fzQ6gRAEoy0?t=331 |
| That was sad but yet beautiful short. Stunning visuals and catchy music. But the thought of sending someone to space with no clear destination whatsoever and which may feel like eternity, sounds way more cruel to me than spending rest of the final moments with your beloved ones :(( |
 |
| Man, that was so stunning and sad. Who would've thought you could deliver all of that in six minutes? Stunning animation, art and visuals, and the music was nice. Stunning music video. 9/10. This would make for a great movie or something similar honestly. |

 |
| Boring. I feel bad about that girl, but the music was really bad. |
 |
| Nice art/animation. Music didn't really fit in, then again its brostep so it never fits in. Since it's a short, plot didn't really flesh out. 5/10. |

 |
| I mean, I think people forget this is a music video.. It was good. Nothing out of this world, but it wasn't bad either. The music was not my taste. The animation and colors were nice. This shouldn't've been a music video imo |
| This was really underwhelming. The story wasn't developed nearly enough to build any sort of connection, yet the addition of dialogue and the father's letter make it such an integrated part of the music video that I don't think it can be dismissed in favor of a purely audiovisual experience either. This would've been a lot better had they left out the story elements entirely-- or the very least the aforementioned dialogue, letter, etc.. As is it comes off as cheap feelsbait. |
| let's be honest here this was complete garbage. This kind of thing done right can be amazing and this one felt like it just tried to copy those before by it by making it look good but without putting any real thought or effort into it. Try watching Interstella5555, ME!ME!ME!, Furiko or Tsumiki no Ie instead. |
| I enjoy Porter Robinson's music since he showed up on MrSuicideSheep and GalaxyMusic channel but I didn't knew he was an anime fan! So cool!! I'm in love with the concept, music, character... Everything! 5/5 |
 |
| It was so good! I love the story and how beautiful it was! |

 "If taking responsibility for a mistake that cannot be undone means death, it's not that hard to die. At least, not as hard as to live on." |
| It feels like everyone and their mother is watching this, lol. It was a pretty good music video after all. |
 |
| this short is very good. love the visuals, like the song (so you can just play again the whole video again just to listen it) and the little details (like the numbers of days in the inbox reveals that she was almost 7 years in her simulator). 9/10, is great |
