You deserve a sub here's one from me now make more videos

[@kenchien4486]

Plz make more vids

[@JoyPitch]

Aww, thats rude, man, even if he said it in a positive connotation. Porter is very modest person, great composer and kind of anime director now, I wouldn’t have the audacity to call him “ours”. He is too far away from most of us, even from Gigguk, who just makes trash videos.

[@gary4014]

[@TheKiwiJobes]

I love it how a small music video is more popular than a load of fanservice harem animes we see getting put out all year around. Hopefully, this will push creators to look into more meaningful storylines and characters.

[@SovietRipper]

As expected, since this has an actual meaning with quality and is made to last, unlike self insert animes generic harem ecchi shows who are consumables and niche who is just a response to the social state of the current japanese society. Actually believe it or not ecchi shows are not that popular in Japan most of them air super late at night there or inclusive like at 3-4am. You will ask "Then, why theres so much of this content" because the people who consumes this material (single-solitary japanese midle class salary man) spends a lot of money into it, so they never really run out of steam , then add that most of that shows are cheap to make, just a bunch of waifus, static backgrounds, self insert basic plot and done, easy money even with an small animation studio, they're not trying to make art, they're just milking a money machine, wich is sad sometimes because theyre making profit thanks to the loneliness of the japanese. l Ecchi/fanservice shows can be good when they're done right tho, like Keijo this year who is a super self aware show and straighfoward.

[@TI-oz7rg]

TheKiwiJobes that's so true. Shelter is a very inspiring video for me

[@TI-oz7rg]

[@november6344]

of course

[@theovercastkid3796]

actually, I'm kind of waiting for this to become a trend. I think its one the positives of youtube being able to connect content creators around the world like this.

[@cyberonyx]

You're a genious Porter

[@CrunchyrollInsideAnime]

Agreed.

[@thor-jh2jq]

Crunchyroll I would love to see this an an actual series. you could use the music video as the intro. and maybe as an introduction into the series you could show the events before she had a life within a shelter (alt. reality room).

[@Tera_GX]

Kyoso Giga's later adaptation was pleasant. Mekakucity Actors too.

[@calebkim9211]

thor5683 i dunno i feel like as a series it might ruin it in a way. There are times where i feel like some things shouldnt be dragged on or it ends better as it did. thou thats just my opinion. maybe one day thisll inspire something amazing

[@Arc3u5]

The irony.

[@leonardpulig9364]

I'm glad that Madeon wasn't overlooked in the production of this video and his name is shown during the intro

[@MXCN_El1011]

Rip Madeon in every other reference to the track and video tho

[@Sutchii_]

what did madeon do in the video?

[@leonardpulig9364]

Nothing in the video, but the shelter track was co-produced with Madeon and although this was mainly about the music video/animation, I'm happy to see Madeon being credited. The song is such a huge part of the animation and I don't think it would have been the same if Madeon weren't part of this project.

[@neoexc]

Leonard Pulig Basically Shelter is Beings 2. All the soft touching and sensation touches and vocals (except Amy Milan) created by Madeon.

[@cloudscape5996]

I found this much more impact than the short itself. It shows the passion of the creative minds behind it and to me that is much more moving than I can really begin to explain.

[@hemangchauhan2864]

Well, the "context" gives a piece of art much more life and meaning.

[@expcake]

Yeah, just seeing US and Japanese pop cultures passionately merge like this feels odd but in a warm kind of way. Granted, it probably happens more than I think it does, but just witnessing it feels pretty great.

[@ELiNNN]

EDM and Anime = perfect combination

[@misusatriyo]

erlinadewi- yep, but in my opinion it isn't EDM, it is an electronic music without the "dance" aspect in it. The music is very much different than that of Zedd's, Steve Aoki, Chainsmokers, or other popular EDM "DJs".

[@gauravpalsingh3505]

@Misu Satriyo Thank you.

[@misusatriyo]

Nesquick Guy​​​​​ because you called me retarded, i assume that it's okay for me to call you stupid right? First, i DID NOT say that "only famous DJs must produce EDM music". Second, music is a matter of PERSONAL TASTE, and nobody should interfere with that. Third, i never said that those DJs i mentioned are good nor bad, who told you that? Oh and btw, next time, learn about the definition of the word "opinion" first before you stated your own opinion.

[@raisondetre7964]

+Misu Satriyo Actually you could dance to this....

[@misusatriyo]

Rufino actually you could dance to anything. But my point is, this song isn't specifically designed for dancing. In some past interviews, Porter even stated that he hates EDM.

[@madedyahas]

"even if the world could never see this video, the process alone would have made it all worth it" this is so inspiring

[@Faaru18]

this is probably the best behind the scene video i've ever seen in my whole life. keep up the good work!

Please, please, please, something like this has to be created again. Never before have I ever been so immersed in a story. And the crazy part is, I don't typically even like the type of music Porter puts out, but "Shelter", along with the video, was absolute perfection. I'm tearing up just thinking about it again. God, what an amazing piece of work that was created. Thank you. thank you to everyone that helped make "Shelter" happen

I actually teared up and cried a little when i watched this. The music video and short film was breathtaking. I love A-1 Studios. favorite anime studio. Discovered porter through that video. Its a dream of mine to also see an anime studio like A-1 create anime. Its a huge part of my life and has helped me through such tough times. Always calms me down, give me goosbumps and think hours on end about the series i watched. Every detail. Thank you so much porter and A-1 Studios for what you do, from the bottom of my soul. I hope i can visit japan one day and visit!

[@NilakshMalpotra]

@Threee Quent I don't know. I'm a huge madeon fan, I discovered this song through him, but yeah the short film/anime itself was entirely Porter's vision. Since Crunchyroll is an anime dedicated site, so they didn't mention it. Every single glimpse of anything related to the movie makes me want to cry now😅😅

Now I know Rin's father name is Shigeru... it suits him perfectly! he seemed like an admirable father figure, wish he had actual voice over parts in this!

[@dewaeryadi7776]

2016 what a great year for anime, kimi no na wa, koe no katachi and this, thank you mr.robinson, a-1 picture, crunchyroll and madeon.

[@ProjectSun91]

This is a good sign that Anime is getting more international recognition than it truly deserves as a unique art to fully appreciate. As independently-produced projects are becoming more and more mainstream in western culture these days, this is a good sign for the anime industry at large if companies like A-1 realizes that they can find ways to incorporate their brand into little startups like Shelter. It shows that there’s at least some part of the anime industry that wants to be progressive and adventurous by appealing to the ever-shifting mindset of media consumers. It means that they understand their audience better than most of us thought, particularly their western audience since the domestic audience still supports and consumes anime in traditional ways. Hopefully this sets a new trend for more Western/International singers as well as directors/producers to collaborate with anime studios to appeal new-comers. The Animatrix is also a good example of this, the results are pretty cool.

When the video was shown at Shibuya street ahead of being uploaded on KZbin, I was there. It was an amazing experience because the video was full of Porter's love for Anime and Japan, where I was born and grew up, where the video set, and of course where I stood then. So I felt the video and the song were, in a sense, more real than the reality. Yeah I really love the video.

[@PegbordFegs]

kinda feel bad for the A-1 animators, they're like "Porter's such a great guy and an artistic genius" and Porter's like "yeah they were pretty good"

[@SpenzOT]

Yeah but A-1 doesn't really have anything to prove, while on the other hand, Porter had a huge hurdle ahead of him. Nobody put any real expectation on him (mainly because the only other artists to actually have done this is Daft Punk), and by succeeding wildly in this endevour, he really amped it up by proving that he can do more than just great music. The fact that he impressed the professionals as much as he did shows how much effort he put into it. Overall though, I am hoping that this experience rubs off on the people involved, including the professionals, because that 6 min short had more story, more detail, and more emotion than most other series' have in their entire 12-24 episode run.

[@TrevorTV]

SpenzOT Here's to hoping someone catches on to this. Only shows I've really enjoyed to this same level recently are Haikyuu and Erased.

[@maryessency8804]

Wow. So glad I came across this! I can't figure out how to send PR any fan mail, so I'll just settle for commenting here. I was in a sad place when Shelter was released. I couldn't find any media (music/movies/games/anything) that would make me feel anything. Then I happened upon Shelter and suddenly I felt something. It was amazing. This piece has stuck with me ever since. Whenever anybody asks me what my favorite media pieces are, Shelter is always on the list. Right up there with ATLA, One Piece, and Nausicca, the Legend of Zelda franchise, I absolutely love it. So happy that you made this and got me out of that emotional slump with something so beautiful; and so heart-wrenching. Well done, sir. Amazing. Keep being awesome. ❤

[@tianixtv]

I'm gonna say it. I watched and listened Shelter and all I have to say is this.... This is the single most best music video since Daft Punk's Interstellar 5555's One More Time! There I said it! Holy Shit! It was immaculate!

[@kazaki03]

Asura Black Many people can make these things but they lack funds, exposure and appreciation. Indie artists like me always get these kinds of ideas but they always end up in the trash can because of lack of time, funds and support from people. Trust me, there are millions out there waiting for your support.

[@noodlesmccheesecakes7733]

Kazaki (Crisel15) I agree. What i meant was that there are a lot of people who look at anime just as stupid, weird cartoons, while this is the real kind of beautiful art that is anime

Yes, and that too, can't deny that, since I've been through that since I first watched Sailormoon in the 90s. (unrelated side note, I realized that I can spiritually relate to Porter Robinson's works (and Owl City's) better than other artists because we're all Cancer zodiac people haha)

[@nightcorecandymusic7599]

This video indeed was incredible all I have to mention is that the A1 Picture Animation really showed a big picture for Rin and really opened up to me as a person, like its just telling me "dont let go, because if you do you'll forget your memories, and your memories will help you keep going forward, because in such situations you just have to keep moving forward". Thats just me I dont know what message others got from it but for me thats what I got from the animation

[@teelovelock]

This is so pure. A true inspiration for every type of artist out there. I'm glad you had to opportunity to work with A-1 and was able to share it with us.

[@jjjtung]

just watching this makes me tear up tbh!!

[@Binks129]

I've always dreamed of working on an anime but thought I wouldn't be able to get there since I'm not Japanese but this opens so many windows... Porters an inspiration.

[@peanut3797]

Everyone who help created this masterpiece did a amazing job A touching story flawless animation and nice song The song really suits everything making everyone understand what is the film trying to say to the viewers

[@TI-oz7rg]

JosHHHy what is the video trying to say?

[@darksoul8053]

Here after 6 years. Pls continue Rin's story

[@Kainync]

You managed to make me cry each time I see the original video, that for me shows how much it impacts me on the emotional level.

[@exstee]

Wow.. Didn't know so much heart and soul went into creating this gem. Truly inspirational.

[@lancelottedracht8738]

I think that if they could release this either as an anime or even just as an hour and a half movie it would be spectacular, I mean they kicked ass just making this so imagine if they had more of this :) would be so beautiful, great work by Porter and A-1

[@CinnyCinnamonRolls]

I couldn't be happier to the fact that this behind the scene is actually one of the greatest behind the scenes I've watched so far.

[@natsufairytail3746]

One of the things I loved most was on the concept you guys made on the character and how you developed an artistic and creative way of like showing that even if you are apart of those you love you will never be alone, because both your love and memories bind you together and if you are in need of something to give you warmth and make you feel like your not alone, you just have to think of those who love you no matter where you are or who you become, though i kinda really want a romance story for Rin but i love this video or anime. (if you think my comment is weird please don't mind because this is just how i feel for this story just kinda wanted to say it) So keep it up Porter Robinson, Crunchyroll and A-1 Pictures!!!

[@dweina1735]

Great job Porter, u made the most wonderful music video.

[@rachelcai4643]

Dana Bader his name is Porter I made the same mistake once

[@dweina1735]

OMG, there fixed, thanks for pointing it out X( I wrote the comment at like 3am so i was probably half asleep so wroteit this way hahahaha

[@tycxxn]

ive cried more on this video than the actual music video...

[@airbornmartin3238]

fucking millenials

[@tycxxn]

shits emotional man

[@chrislee4835]

the piano is giving me the chills

[@TI-oz7rg]

Tanner York Surprisingly, I died cry. I mostly find sad videos inspiring. Not sure if that's a bad thing or not but Welp that's me

[@TI-oz7rg]

*did

[@cityyliights_]

Aww, good for you Porter! This behind the scenes made me tear up just as much as the actual animation. I'm so happy you got to do this, you're such a wonderful artist in so many ways and I'm so happy for you.

[@TheBrokenEclipse]

Stunning. I hope the premise of the story will develop into a fully fledged story and film.

[@justzack641]

Umm..... I don't think that would be a good idea. You see, the music video is already so perfect it brought us a lot of emotions in that mere 6 minutes. Best to just let it stay that way.

[@haridevrajesh7426]

Thanks Mr. Porter Robinson and A1 studios for this amazing short film/music vid..... Made me shed a tear really... It was sad but uplifting... In other words, it is a work of art.

[@wstroyt]

Agh I can't hear even a tiny bit of the song or even see a clip of the video without having tears come to my eyes. Such a beautiful song.
