Hello ladies and gentlemen, and welcome to Anime Theory, where I've watched Shelter more times than is probably healthy, and enjoyed each time. Today I cover the ever-popular short film Shelter, mostly because I REALLY wanted to talk about it.
I have a Twitter you can follow: / ceegans
Here's that AWESOME Future Diary 16 bit opening cover: • Mirai Nikki / Future D...
I do not own the rights to Shelter. The rights are reserved to Porter Robinson, A-1, and Crunchyroll. Please support the official video.
I'm available to eat on any day that ends in Y.
If this was really an anime, I'd watch the shit out of it.
Lalamonkey This IS an anime
Hi
it isn't
it's just a short film
x Delicousnyancake x It's an animation from Japan, So its anime
Technically it's a cartoon short film from japan.
BeefyComet I mean you will really know that it's anime by the designs of Characters, You will Consider Doreamon as an Anime, And you will consider Spirited Away as an Anime, I mean I mean if you said Anime it doesn't refer if it was Many episode, Just the Character design
Imagine if these people who created this made a full pledged show.
Anime Fan I would die from happiness
LORD I WOULD CRY EVERY DAY EVERY NIGHT I WOULD WATCH IT EVERY DAY EVERY NIGHT THEN LISTEN TO "CRY ME A RIVER" EVERY TIME I INISHED AN EPISODE AND EVERY 5 EPISODES I WOULD TAKE A BREAK AND DANCE TO ANYTHING IN THE MLP SOUNDTRACK!!!
Meep N' Friends mmmmmmmm weird but true
Anime Fan well these guys also creatded sword art online
Anime Fan i hope they do,i wouldnt care if it came out in 2018! XD
I already knew the theory behind shelter...why?...because I watched it 100000 times
LoL Nobody because I made that bitch famous
SK1TTLE_ _ who r u
LoL Nobody oh god not again..........You commented this about after or before new year,100k X 6(length of the vid) is 600k min,600k min divided by 1440min(mins per day) is 416.666,416.666 divided by 365(days per year) is 1.141year/s.You sir have commented this about 2-3 months after the vid got released,but based on the times you watched it and the time you spent watching it,what you have said is clearly a lie because its impossible to watch the vid before it got released in a few months.For the wrong claiming of times you watched this,Shame on you
Kezack I like this.
I'm Bored lol ty xD
my shelter theory: it's fucking amazing. the end :3
That's not a theory, it's a fact. =D
its not a fact either, its a hypothesis =D
its not a hypothesis either, its an evaluation! =D
LOL
Here is my own theory. I actually suspect Rin is 14 & not 17. My reason for this is due to her Birthday. I counted six candles. To add to this reasoning when we take notice of Rin's father's blueprints of the spacepod. It has Rin's age listed as 7. It's unclear if she was 7 when going into space or if she was to receive his message in 7 years. The other piece I took notice of was her tablet. It read Main-Program System RN 2066 which could be the given year. If so the latest year would have been 2066 and now the current time would be someplace in 2070. As for if she is heading someplace I believe she is due to the blueprint that reads Phase 1: Earth and then goes to Phase 2: AR07 -AR09. It has elements where more could take place. Doubt it ever will though.
Is it weird that I understood everything from the first time I watched the short film?
Me too actually it isn't weird if you think about it
FalconGamer58 //FG58 me too maybe it's because I watched too many animes
+LoL Nobody I only watch Dragonball,Z and Super since they have so many backstories
i dont really watch anime but i understood the message of the song
+theBIGbomb c because idk you watched Sherlok or too much of Scooby-Doo
No human contact for about seven years !!!!!
That would be horrible honestly. I don't know how she didn't go crazy.
That messed up
DuoReview probably the simulation was made to keep her sane, to distract her from her loneliness all whilst teaching her how to be creative. maybe induced sleep would have been better however it might be that the brain cant function anymore after such a long period of being inactive. as such a simulation would be the only possibility.

LOL XD
My Theory: The ship was designed for 2 people rather than 1 (indicated by that the teddy bear by her side) and the message from her father doesn't apply that he'a actually dead. If he was smart enough to make a ship by himself, then he could've been recruited by a space company and that could explain why he can't see her.
Thats a clever theory. The dad could've easily made a capsule for both of them, but he didn't have time. It takes a crap load of time to create a fully functioning programmed capsule, that puts one human into a simulation, AND also feeds the body, and helps it progress. Making one for 2 people however would've taken 3 times the amount of time for a one person capsule. Also, if he were in a single rocket ship with other people, he wouldn't have survived for very long. Especially not for 7 years. This is just my opinion, how ever.
Onotku •
but somewhere on the video shows that earth and that planet already collided
so maybe her dad made code that will send her that message when she's actually mature enough to understand what her father means
it's just a theory tho
not sure if it's true
it was six on her birthday, then seven, so about two years and a couple months it took what hits hard is that he meant to share that space with her but found out options and time was running low to the point where he only sent her. I was expecting the dad to go with her because that would be the only way I've would've wanted to be stuck there. but rin was so young where she thought her father was going to be by her side, but forgot because he put her in a state where her memories needed to be locked away so that she wouldn't mess up the pod with her emotions. what's a possibility is that people went before her and that's why he sent her
he has a point what if rin is not the only survivor left..what if all country around the world except his dad also plan to create an capsule to protect only limited human...
The space company would’ve wanted to save their own asses than someone else’s child so I don’t think they’d help
I understood it from the first time I watched it. Things just kinda fell into place for me, XD
LoveyLittleKitty Emily Graham yeah same

Some details you missed;
1. The planetoid colliding with earth does not exhibit any significant gravity that it's size suggests. An object that size would be phenomenally destabilizing to our own gravitational field and well, the thing actually hitting us wouldn't be the worry anymore because our atmosphere (and oceans) would be screwed first. So we can conclude that the physics in Shelter's reality makes this a multidimensional event.
2. Humanity's technological level in Shelter is sufficient that a dude can design and build a spaceship in a warehouse within the scope of resources available in a crisis environment. Chances that more people survived this are... somewhat high. Also, the fact the event in the news is imaged from quite a distance above earth wound suggest that humanity is capable of some pretty advanced space mobility.
3. Despite the detail that the ship was designed for one, there are two seatbelts. Unlikely that the father would have made the restraint just for the bear. This suggests that the father designed it initially as a two occupant vehicle. Which also tells us that the reason he didn't join his daughter is that wherever he's sending her the ship either did not have the resources for two people, he would not live long enough to survive the journey anyway or the ship would not be able to meet some parameter necessary to complete the journey with him on it. So we can assume that he is sending her somewhere where she has a future.
Some details you missed;
1. It's anime.
2. It's anime.
Xena Discarding the context of the video title (and the discussion) using sarcasm to try and be all edgy and maybe look smart is kind of a sad hobby. Take care.
+Benedict Tan Actually when they show the schematics at 3:57 (of the Shelter video) it says it's a "Single-Seater". So it would seem he did add the restraints just for the teddy bear.
I do however believe humanity did escape. The reason her father stayed behind with her was to let her have a "normal" life for as long as possible, basically experience life on earth rather than growing up on a space ship. When he sends her off I think it's to go to wherever the rest of humanity went.
wow you must be fun at partys
If you read the first sentence of point 3, I already address this fact m8! My assertion is that the single-seater blueprint is a revision of his original intent. Our conclusions are otherwise the same.
The Story behind this MV is pretty straight forward compared to ME!ME!ME!
Yeah, Me!Me!Me! is crazy. I don't know if people would want me to cover it though. XD
Mememe sad as af
It’s in the description
Mememe is very cryptic af but when I learned the story I felt empty
@@duoreview7492 And Me!Me!Me! is pretty straight forward compared to samishii kamisama
I agree with most of this theory except for a small part. The idea that someday she will reach an Earth-like planet to live on.
I think the actual truth is more tragic, and that's the fact that this couldn't happen. The ship had the thrust to escape the gravity of Earth and the other celestial body, but after that point, it's most likely just a drifter. Even if the ship could at some point reach another planet, Rin couldn't love there. The pod only allows her brain to function, but the rest of her body is long dead. She hasn't used any muscles or received any nourishment for seven years. It may be a form of stasis, but even then, her body grows through time.
I believe the real, more tragic truth, is that Rin is in ths simulation forever. It may be an eternity. Honestly, we don't know how long she's been in there thus far. It seems she's 17 in the simulation, as her mind probably aged in that way, but we don't know if there's an endgame to this. She may stay at her desired age forever, or her mind would keep aging and growing, until such a point that her simulation body is unable to move, or her mind starts to deteriorate. Another reminder, this aging process could be entirely different from what we know. One year in the real world could be decades in the simulation.
The only way her life could end would be when the ship loses functionality (it's 2055, so who knows how long the power could be sustained), or if the apparatus that holds he simulation fails.
The tragedy is that Rin gets to live her life, but only in the simulation. And even then, there may come a point that she doesn't want to live, but she can't stop. The "ending" is so morally ambiguous and tragic in the way that Rin's greatest gift grom her father could later be her worst curse.
wow...great thought mate 😞
imperchaos You all need to quit making me cry, seriously. Just the fact that someone would be completely isolated from social contact is so unnerving and horrible. Honestly, I would say that the father made the wrong choice, even if he thought it was the best for his daughter.
It's a huge morally ambiguous dilemma, for sure. And trust me, I teared up writing this. I tear up thinking about this story. I love it, but hate it, but love it.
imperchaos Exactly!! That's exactly how I feel about this story as well lol my emotions are just all over the place
Sorry to correct you, but her body is still alive & kicking, as you can see in the video, there are little pods ( ? Tubes ? I guess ? lol. Whatever you want you want to call it. ) sticking to her body, providing her with the nutrition she needs. You can also see her muscles slowly twitch I'm pretty sure. This is due to the machine giving her little shocks to stimulate her muscles.
Another great theory. The first time I watched shelter I felt as though it would be a cute little music video. I have to admit the first couple of minutes into the video i really wasn't feeling the music, but nearing the end I feel as though it was trying to convey the joy and optimism she felt despite the depressing loneliness of her situation.
Did the Dad do the right thing, meh, that is purely subjective, he sustained the life of someone he held dearly in a single solely altruistic act. its not the fact that he gave away his life, he left it to live on in the heart of his daughter. Paternal love is powerful, I don't think Rin is suffering, she has surpassed the five stages of mourning and found peace. I think that the video shows her journey through denial as she blocks out the memories of her past (The worlds she creates within her simulation) and depression as she sees her father again, finding peace knowing the extent of his love.
In my opinion this music video is very open, it leaves it to the viewer to take from it what they will. Personally I feel that it conveys the act of moving on, not forgetting your past but not allowing it to drag you down.
Well another stupid and out of proportion comment courtesy of me. I really liked how you saw it.
I'm glad you enjoyed the video. Also, long comments are good as well. ;)
EpicGaming67 Yeah.

A1: nope
You:it has virtual reality

a1 obsesion with vr xd
*SAO Reference*
*is that a jojo reference?!*
I have a question.
Rin lives in an simulation right? In the video you can see she's in some "box" and she can't get ou of it, which you can see when the street forms (she tried to get out but she failed) But how did she managed to walk around a whole field without leaving her box? I mean, you can see her walk down a road with tree's with some kind of marsmallows or something stick to it, and you see her running on a field of grass. How?
Jada van der Heijden who Said she cant leave the Box? I think it's meant to be her room not more not less. I mean as long as you aren't a total lock-in you can leave your room too, right?
Jada van der Heijden it might have to do with something like sending signals to her nerves and brain
Jada van der Heijden the wires in her head
its an endless box...
It all happens in her mind, sweetheart. That's what a simulation is for.
The feels.......I cried I'm not joking I really did cry
A lot of people did. =D
CYBER NOVA i cried about like three times its so beautiful 😭😢
i never cry from vid and this one almost made me cry
@@richardheang9569 I’m from the future my friend no planet has came yet but have a mask tho
2020...realising our loneliness
For some reason, I can connect this to Pandora's Box. Like, Rin is Elpis (the spirit of hope) in the spaceship (box). Some people think it's impossible for her to find another planet to live in. But, *shrugs*, I see another message. It's basically just having hope in situations that seem hopeless. Takes a lot of courage. That's what Rin embodies. I think. *shrugs and flies away*
I saw Madoka there.
I saw Yuki.
i Saw Gasai
I saw Koro Sensei
Yep, they're in my intro. =D
i love madoka lmao
Emm... Who? Don't even bother answering, ill find out :P
Off
I mean oof
Time moves faster in space that's why Rin's 17
Hiyori Bell not when you are gooing the speed of light if you travel at the speed of light no time will have passed in your preception so if the ship is even traveling 1% of c time will pass slower
Griffin Hau oh I did my research apparently it does move slower in space thanks for informing me haha
Hiyori Bell no I'm just a space buff
Hiyori Bell i tought it was time moves slower in space
Hiyori Bell time also moves differently near dense objects
+DuoReview I totally love this video and the song....
But talking about the back history of "Shelter", I want to remark somethings...
1. The screen: On the end of the video you can see a solar system with some kind of "travel route" on one screen... I am not sure but I think it is the collision course of the earth and the planet, but if it is indeed a "travel route" of Rin's spaceship to another inhabitable planet it means she is traveling to there.
2. Her position: Rin is thrown forward, her hair is falling and she doesn't look like if she were floating in space, her feet and body looks a little thin (like a person with a disability) because may be the lack of exercise. I think she on the ship has gravity, may be not created by the ship itself but the the movement of the ship... It may be using a "constant acceleration" of 1G to provide her of a inhabitable environment and for travel.
3. The 3 years lost: Did you noticed that the time of Rin's 6th birthday, the age she would have on the spaceship and the age when she receives the her father's message doesn't match for 3 years? If you look closely, when she opens her gift you can count 6 candles, on the blueprints of the ship you can read "7 years old", but she is 17 when receives the message from her father. If she was 7 when she took off to the space and have passed 7 years, should not she be 14 or 15 not 17... where are those 3 years left?!
I was wondering about that as well, and the only explanation I could come up with was that there was a time gap between when the dad was first designing the rocket/the birthday and when she actually had to blast off, and the time difference would have been 3 years.
+6PackofRibs I though that too, but when i see the video I think is that he launched RIN before the time he was planning (because the face he does when sees the "Mirai Satellite Camera)"...
And what if she was messaging for 3 years, and after that, no contact
OR
What if she didn't get the want of messaging til those 3 years ended, and the want for messaging started then?
Agent1Gaming I have been thinking that maybe she was on a "coma" and then "wake up" on the "matrix" of the ship and began to live there
Maybe, like she was being put in chryostatis for 3 years til she was ready to reawake in simulation
In otherwords, maybe it took 3 years to digitally format her memories, and such for a simulation. And if she was heading somehwere, it'd take 3 years to awake
They should make a 12 episode anime out of this six minutes long anime
A lot of people would agree with that. =D
Trueeeeee
Dream Fox srry I wouldn't watch. I fell that s the reason it's only 6 min because it's be hard to make whole series with her alone just slowly revealing things about herself and the world around her. The series would probably lose its impact over a series... that s just my option though, only because I can't think of anything else they can really add to this to keep it going. It might have been meant to just be a one hit wonder (which It was)
*sorry But I mean you have a point
Yup ur right
The message made me cry, did you cry too? Anyway I have an explanation myself
Since something was hitting earth, the dad wanted his daughter to live so he built some kind of circular thing to let her live, correct? Since she's the only one who had that thing, she was the only one to survive, and since she was the only one to survive, she had no education, job, nor even family, though that is not useful for the destruction of Earth, in the music video, she saw her past self, correct? And then she had a moment of time to see her father again, which is very emotional, but since the machinery her father made might've travel the same speed as light, her father's message was late and her father knowing it would send late, he made the message when Rin was maybe 6 or 7 years old, now in this future she is in a simulation world with a tablet, having seen the message, she felt she was not alone, and in the end, we saw what real Rin looked like, and judging by the position of her body, she was moving forward which meant she was actually travelling through space, which might've also meant that she was going somewhere
That's all I could think of, the music video was very emotional, which lead everyone who watched it to tears, thanks for reading my comment, bye :)
AndroidAddict nope, His dad program that message to her daughter in right age to understand that message (Sorry I'm sucks in English)
MustacheGhostY I can see you do suck at English, let me rewrite your reply
Nope, HER dad PROGRAMMED that message to HIS daughter in THE right age to understand THE message (Sorry I SUCK AT English)

God I love Shelter. Heres why. If you're not interested then move along. STORY TIME.
Scrolling through soundcloud. I found this AMAZING 1 minute 30 second short version of a song. Shelter. It was INCREDIBLE and i fell in love. This was October 16th. Thing is, I wanted the rest of the song. After some searching nothing came up. I eventually gave up after a while and settled for it. Then on October 19th, before school I open youtube. I didn't usually check the featured page, but I did that day. I looked around and saw a video titled Shelter. Im all "sounds familiar, that song, coincidence? its probably nothing." I clicked on it, and I then thought, "Oh! cool looks like a new anime, if i like it I can do more research!"
Then the song started playing.
You have NO idea the magnitude of me fangirling, internal screams, and just pure shock in that moment. I watched it, listening to the full song for the first time. Loved it. But then the end with the ship and I was confused. I went back to the beginning and rewatched it, this time pausing whenever it went fast to see the details. Long story short I ended up nearly bawling. I actually got the story 9.8/10 the second time I watched it. I just thought maybe the man was her older brother, but thats the only thing I got wrong other then google failing at translating the letter at the end. I truly LOVE not only the song but the 6 minute video. Incredible.
To be honest, I just found it because it was being recommended to me by everyone. XD
*(freaks that senpai noticed me)* *(fails at being chill about it and texts all anime lovers I know about this phenomenon)*
Go to 2:03 to skip the long intro not being rude just saying
6:30 Actually, if she was travelling near the speed of light, and 7 years passed for her, way more than 7 years will have passed in the outside world, due to relativity. This means that she could have traveled much further than 7 light years. Performing some calculations shows that if she was travelling at 99% the speed of light (reaching the speed of light is impossible), then 7 years for her would be around 50 years outside, so she could have traveled up to 50 light years, not 7.
If she could travel at the absurd 99.9999999999988669% the speed of light, she could have theoretically traveled 46.5 billion light years, and reached any point in the observable universe.
The equation is this: γ = 1/(sqrt[1 - {v²/c²}]), with γ being the Lorentz factor, the factor by which time is slowed down relative to the observer. Here's a link to the equation: www.desmos.com/calculator/jpeiehjusl

Glad someone noticed. There's only one track from Shelter, and the Fire Emblem Fates music fit pretty well. =D
Also, thank you! =D
You're Welcome,On an unrelated note to shelter,what is your favorite fire emblem game?
It's probably Fates, but that's because I've only played Awakening, GBA, Path of Radiance, and Fates. XD

This little thingy is 490% better then naruto, one piece together :D
ProSpect It would have taken 200 episodes of filler if this was made by the writers from Naruto😂
Yhea... but its quality is 1000% better :)
I agree on that note honestly. XD
Ok that’s very overboard
Pretty unfair to compare a short film to a long running anime . Long running animes are meant to take their time progressing the story and characters while a short film will depend on its visuals and storytelling to tell a story at a face pace. So obviously a short film will have more in terms of quality cuz well.. its short so everything will be put into it. In terms of story I personally don't think it can beat one piece or naruto but like everyone has their opinions I guess. Why the heck did I reply to a 4 year comment...
My theory: the same as u until the end
In the there’s a message from the dad right? Well yeah but the message kinda meant that the ship couldn’t hold her for any longer so she had to die. In the end she dies and says thank you
um you're actually wrong
lol it says "kuma" on the bear, which translates to bear
yeah i just noticed it
Maia- San yup
How did he know what the message said?
Found a translation.
Eh really? R u that dumb
Eh even I can read it WITHOUT a translation
Just kidding... Barely... I love you Eh... Shouts out to Chris Tucker and Jackie Chan, Rush hour... and Rush hour 2 references...
Tri Rain Are you ignorant?
JüniperPale no not really
I think if you pay attention to the lyrics you can kind of get the picture of her Father's motivations. "I'll give them shelter like you've done for me" It's clearly a song about parental love, and an adult's promise to their parents to look after their children. The lyrics speak to a generational cycle, the idea that looking after your child and knowing they will have their own giving a kind of satisfaction, even though you will never meet your future descendants: "And they won't need to know our names or our faces/But they will carry on for us."
However, Shelter's video subverts this. Whether through plague, war, or the interaction's with the falling planet, Earth is devastated, and you can see there is some sort of dome in the middle of a ruined city, where Rin and her father live. I personally choose to believe, that most of humanity died some time before Planetfall, leaving Rin, her father and possibly a few survivors in other protective domes scattered around the ruins of the planet.
This is the source of the subversion of the song's intent. Rin's father is the last parent there will ever be. He sacrifices his life to give his daughter Shelter, as it's the only thing a parent can do, whether right or wrong. But he knows she will never be able to give shelter to children of her own, as she is alone.
A counterargument is: "What if Rin's father sent her to a human colony/ spaceship?"
If Rin's ship is incapable of faster than light (FTL) travel, she will never reach them, as they clearly had a very long, at least 7 year leadtime. If it is FTL, then why is it taking so long to reach anywhere? Besides the name of the video is Shelter, not Transport, and Rin's Shelter had no active means of propulsion in space.
why does everyone have a hard time understanding what happens in this video? the number of people who have gotten anywhere close is way smaller than it should be...
Tesla Haxz ikr
Well since some people can't I made this video to help. So then they can figure it out. Not everyone is quite as skilled at this stuff, so that's typically the reason why.
Tesla Haxz true like even porter said exactly what it was about too ??
DuoReview I wouldn't say you got it 100% either, tbh. But closer than lots of people. I showed someone the video and they asked if rin was a robot, like wtf...
Tesla Haxz-
I know, right. It took me at least one watch to get the backbone of the story, and after few more watches, you start to notice the little things, and you watch it more and start to come up with different theories and possible outcomes.
I think that's the beauty of Shelter, Rin can have millions upon millions of different live based around what different people think will happen. She could end up on a new planet with people, or she could very well be the last human like Finn. Or she could be forever stuck in the simulation, drifting in space for the rest of her life (though, I'm still trying to decide if that's the case myself. She has a map in her ship and she seems to be on her way somewhere). Or, you could get crazy and theorize that this is the whole reason why Earth doesn't exist anymore in Star Wars and why people are just scattered among the stars.
But, Let's be honest here, if one man can built a ship to save his daughter, there are literally thousands of other humans who could think up the same thing. I'd even go as far to say that she'll meet other people soon that were in the same situation she was on another world. Sorta like CW's The Hundred.
This does not need to be explained. it's self explanatory.
i got an ad of ppap lol
What? XD
Trygalion Gamming Sans?!
A very interesting thing to notice is how the virtual landscapes she draws get progressively more surreal. - - She starts with 'regular' places, like a cozy room and a landscape with hills, trees and rivers.
- Then she takes herself to icy lands with aurora borealis, and runs around on a fiel, where rocks surge from the flood beneath her feet, as she jumps.
- Next up she shows up in a beautiful rainy bamboo forest, and in this fantastical crystal island with a blue-red background.
- Then she's in a bathtub with her tablet half-sunk (*hint hint* it's not real, viewers :D) and goes right off to crazy things like an apocalyptic landscape and this dream-like black-white-red place where trees grow cubes.
It's like she's almost losing contact with reality.
And that's when the message kicks in, she sees all her past memories and we got the ending.
Bonus points for them showing us how the father notices how much she likes to draw :)
No matter what theories would be conveyed, the fact that Rin's father sacrificed his time, effort and dedication to let her continue living even if meant for her to be alone.... is extremely sad :(
when ever any idea of loneliness comes up in this way it brakes my heart in multiple ways. it doesn't just give feel for the character but giving me a feeling that could fuel depression for an eternity. . . its just a sad concept and to be honest i wouldnt wish this kind of fate on any one not even the most evil of souls . . . it goes with out saying that this is one of my deepest fears losing or worse finding out everything ive come to no is fake . . . ( through out typing this ive actually been holding back alot of tears )
Shelter give me a strange feeling when i first watch it kinda hurts my heart when i first watch it and my heart hurts for a month im good aftet that now that i know the real meaning it hurts even more. Such a great father.
So like many others, I believe Rin has been in the space pod for 10 years. One of the things I noticed was it said that there were no messages in 7 years, so it's possible that she had received a message, or multiple messages, during the first three years in space. Another possible scenario is that the simulation itself started after she was in space for three years, so therefore the message box would have started receiving messages after the 3 years.
The description says she's 17, and the number of days is 7 years. That's why I think it's 7 years.
This is a masterpiece and has a powerful message to those that are loosing hope that they should keep going! even tho they think that they are alone out there in the world and to remember all the people that love them!
What i get from this is that she knows shes alone, everyday since she was saved by her fathers love, he could have gone with her but she had more chances of survival and maybe finding a planet with the resources he could get for her knowing that he sent her out alone with that hope in mind.
For years she has been alone drifting through space in a VR he made for her so she wouldint get lonely and every now and then she looses hope and has forgotten her short time and memories with her father it is then the tablet suddenly put's things in for her and by doing so she slowly remembers and when she has lost all hope the tablet takes over drawing the town she lived in showing her ,her memories of the time she spent with her father that loved her very much and what he did for her, she misses him and through out the video you can see that she yells out for him to wait as she streches out her hand trying to get to him but cant.
That is when all hope was lost.. then as everything gets dark she get's her fathers message and final words which gives her hope and the will to keep going and remembers that he saved her and even tho she is all alone she wont get lonley because he will always be in her heart watching over her.
they should make a part 2 of this, idk why but the possibility of many theories being right at the same time just bothers me i need closure dammit
LOL I'm fine regardless of what happens. =D
The interpretation is amazing. Thanks a lot for uploading this. The feels after finally getting the true essence of the anime ❤😍
I'm glad you enjoyed it. =D
He sent her to space just to make her live. awww what a great dad.
This Shelter anime is amazing i just wish they could make an anime for just a bit more things they could add like how she is surviving everyday, what she is trying to achieve and ya. I think it would be really nice if there was an anime series to this. and maybe a season 2 where there were a couple other survivors and their goal is to start a new life again in a different planet.
I understand the feeling, but I personally think it should stay this way. Makes it kind of special. =D
how can she survived without eating for 7years ?
That's a good question. I assumed it was force-fed through some of those wires. XD
u might wanna look into something called "hibernation"
Hibernation for 7 years is a bit far-fetched.
she got everything she needed through those cable thingies c: or wires. or whatever they're called.
EpicLinkSam When you said Hyper-sleep, my mind constantly racing to that certain scene from Big Hero 6 where Baymax and Hiro found Abigail :'0
SEEKING TO A LIVING PLANET: MUSIC SQUEAL?
LOL XD
I think you forgot to add that her memories began to quietly leak images such as the swing set which she didn't recognized from her tablet...
Yeah, that did happen, but she didn't truly remember everything until the sudden town appearing.
Indeed...
your theory is good
Thanks! =D
DuoReview how do you know what the message says? It's too small for me to make out

THE THEORY IS HORIBLE IT SAYS IT AL IN THE DESC OF THE VIDEO
I'm glad you were here to explain this. I'm really not good at understanding artsy stuff despite being really quite smart, but I knew there was a lot here packed into such a short show. Thank you! Also, despite having been around on UA-cam since quite early on (50,000 subs was the highest in all of Britain), I'd never found I channel I just HAD to subscribe to until this one.
Glad this video helped you, and also I'm glad you chose me to subscribe to. =D
Your intro saying thing reminds me a lot of Game Theory
Good theory htw
Thanks! =D
shoot
btw*
I think she's gonna live on that pod forever, Since she was in it for seven years. Her body can not stay alive by itself anymore, But even though she's lonely and gonna stay on it until she dies, She's happy because she knows what her dad did for her! But there's a map or something showing a planet, so maybe she's being sent to another planet where there's more humans or human like beings?
Ii really think that the message trigger when she reach a determinate age, but honestly, i like more your optimistic interpretation.
I feel that there's a deeper meaning to shelter, than meets the eye. I say that the girl is actually an introvert that creates her own world, through her tablet, staying in her room all the time. She is probably like this because her father left her at a point in time. However, she once realizes that was for a good cause, that there is an outside world she needed to explore, and that there aren't only bad people in that world. The ending probably signifies that she couldn't cope with reality and is still in her imaginary world, and will probably stay there forever, if someone doesn't wake her up. I know this is pretty crazy, but it could be what the author was trying to transmit. (trust me, I am a student and we study the meaning of a lot of pieces of art)
Oh I know there might be more deeper meanings, (trust me, I found tons) but people get really pissed at me if I try implying something different in this case. I guess I could've talked about that at the end of the video, but Shelter is 6 minutes, and my video was 8. I was already reusing footage. XD
DuoReview oh, and I challenge you to eat a pizza on tomorrow, because I'm a rebel 😎
You broke the rules. That doesn't end in Y.
But Wednesday does. XD
The story:
Me crying
The end
This made me cry so bad and I don't know why but this was really helpful so now I don't cry as much and now i know that my hypothesis was right about what it meant
Aight. My theory:
*Not all hope is lost.*
If dad can make a spaceship, the government can make a spaceship.
I really doubt Rin is the last human. Her dad probably didn't have enough money to bring both of them onto an escape ship, so he built his own. Rin is probably on a course for the rest of humanity, where she can live the rest of her (hopefully) happy life.
Plus, who knows? The dad might have built another craft or hopped onto an existing one. Not wanting to give his daughter false hope, he wrote the message assuming he was dead, even though they might both be alive and heading toward that same place.
Porter Robinson is very optimistic. There is no way that he would make something as dark as some comments claim.
It is very plausible we get a happy ending! People just don't seem to realize that.
I watch the m/v like 900000000000000 times
can't wait for porter and madeon to make another song that's a follow up to shelter
to people wanting more of this sound, there was a leak of their tour files and songs they made together during the time of shelter presumably: praise for that and osttt
This is a great theory!
If Film Theory did it, it would be cool but this theory is great!
This is my theory about the story (Maybe a lot of you know this, and good job to* imperchaos* for the great theory about a more different question about the story)
In the start, there is a girl named Rin, we see her in her room which is actually a simulation.
Later on, we notice that she is alone because she has not been getting any messages from literally anybody.
She gets really sad that the fact that she is alone but everyday she gets her tablet to create different worlds in the simulation.
Later on she gets flashbacks when she was a kid but just for a few seconds until she runs around again.
But, later on Rin receives a random simulation that she did not create at all, later on she realizes that the simulation she is in is a memory of her when she was a child.
She falls down into her tragic and happy memories and she gets worried and sad because of all that has happened to her,
She is overwhelmed by everything she is seeing, until she gains strength to move forward into the future because of her memories and she gets a message by an unknown person, and we see her alone in space and in the flashbacks, we see her dad putting her into the spaceship, her dad sacrifices himself for Rin by putting her into deep sleep and she is dreaming alone in space, dreaming about her new world but then i realize something, the WIRES, the wires are connecting to her so that means that her dad put her into the simulation with the spaceship as seen by him designing the spaceship, and by doing so, he protects her beloved daughter, Rin, and everyday in her life, she is doing the same thing over and over and over again, but she is happy because as i said, she is getting determination to keep on hoping that the future will be something different, something beautiful and that is the end of Rin's story in Shelter, Who knows what might happen, there might be a series but i doubt it but i really hope that there is more to this story, it is so beautiful and inspiring and the fact that the creators got in contact with a Japanese Animation Studio is just crazy! I hope you liked my theory and the story for Shelter, i will see you guys and girls later! (Time to watch the video after minutes of writing this theory) Again, good job *imperchaos* on that other theory with more different and rather deep questions. Great Theory!
Wonderful explanation, thank you. But this is so sad . 😭
Well, glad you enjoyed it. =D
DuoReview SJENAHR YOU REPLIED!!! Thank you!!
I hope someone finds her whether they are human or not. Because she needs something other than life outside the simulation. She needs another sentient creature to be there for her.
Free or Noragami
Usual Suspects norigami
Usual Suspects although i dont want to choose... noragami
what's norigami 😂
i really really have no idea what it is...explanation pls ?
I think u mean Noragami and it's an anime
The father was galaxy brain to do even one of these things. He did all of them.
*DIMENSIONAL BRAIN!*
No...
*MULTIDIMENSIONAL BRAIN!!*
So true 😂😂
Quick correction, Rin is actually 14 (at 3:57 it shows statistics and one of them was Rin's age, which was 7. Add 2578 days and she would be about 14)
A quick correction....The author said she's 17 it says in the description of the original video
For me,
It's a story about a couple who promised to stay with each other on earth while the others are on board a ship to Jupiter's orbit where humanity will continue to live in a space station.
After Rin was born, her mother died at birth causing internal conflict with her father.
He wants to stay because of the promise he made with his wife but he wants his child to live on.
So he built a ship himself and put his only daughter under an immense simulation to deliver her to the satellite at Jupiter's orbit which he should've been on over seventeen years ago.
Dude.. she was 7 when she escape earth.. You can see her age at 3:57 in Shelter video... so she's in space for 10 earth years.. i think the simulator activated 3 years before the distraction of earth.. Ow yeah! ever wonder why the places that Rin and her father visit still looks good even though that at the news the world is in apocalyptic state? My theory to that is both of them are in a simulation(i think?) i want to hear your thoughts on my theory..
They could be in a simulation I guess, but IDK it sounds like a stretch. XD
It could also be that the places they visit where before the aplocalypse thing was announced or something
Thank you when i watch the original video i didnt cry but now i know the meaning of the video i cry like 2 hours or something thank you
Make this into a TV series
When you read the letter, The tears started pouring.
Me too me too
Wow, didn't know it was that sound sounding. My narration makes me laugh. XD
DuoReview lol ^-^
Uploaded on my birthday :)
Wow, that's cool! =D
Zera - Chan Happy b-day!
Zera - Chan you don't have a birthday, you are simply a figment of someone's imagination. I don't even know how I see your comment right now.
Andrew K looks like someone is in their experimental phase XD
ghostlyrumor lol
Shelter is definitely a masterpiece.
when i watched this vid, i remember my dad and i miss my dad. i cried
sorry if my english are bad
It's alright. =D
DuoReview thanks :)
It kinda sucks to "never" wake up for "eternity", I rather die than stuck in "infinite looping" of "never ending loneliness".
You need way more subscribers dude way more
Thanks! =D
I saw future diary in the intro. You got a subscription
I cried 2 much to hate this😢
How can anybody hate this anime?
It's amazing ☺
I skipped and didn't understand it all but, now I do
im inloved with this like really, i want it to have an extended version like a small movie
how is she there--- but then she's in the pod?
Wxnteria Virtual simulation.
Wxnteria
To me it seems like she's in some sort of coma
You mentioned that you speculate that she is traveling at light speed, but that would make the story much more depressing. I don't know the exact difference in time passing between the standard rate on earth, but if she's been travelling at light speed for 2500 days, then she would have been in that ship for at least a millennia
the only explanation this short film needs is this: Shelter is something filled with emotion and beautiful animation. Even though it is 6 minutes long, it tells you more than an anime with two seasons (in my opinion). This is something that doesn't need a season for it to be explained.
if this were an anime i would try and watch every last second of it...
at least- if i stopped crying
Ok goodnight into the next vid ok
Shelter has made me cry, even a little bit, every single time.
Yea.
I admit it.
This has made me cry every time, that being the 10+ times I've watched it.
I mean...technically you did lain. shelter is sort of like it...because spoilers. but yeah. lol anyway, I think this is generally what everyone else thinks of what shelter is. if not then at most, its a simulation made for her by her father to keep her safe. also lol you keep jumping to other animes before getting to your schedule. I have no problem with this but its just odd is all. it would be better if you just stop haveing previews of your next theory if this keeps up. either way, keep making theorie bro. c:
Yeah, that's why I'm not doing the previews anymore. LOL
Lain is like this but 13 episodes long. XD
If the pod was moving anywhere near the speed it would need to to reach another star before she was very old, then it would visibly warp the space around it. The pod looked mostly stationary.
There would be no point to sending her somewhere with no other people since there would be nothing left for her outside the pod in that case. It's easy to determine that there was no life on other planets yet, since she was in the only pod attempting to leave Earth. If there were extraterrestrial colonies, then this sort of travel would have been attainable to more people.
i under standed it frome the first time ive seen it
Ya know even though this is from 4 years ago...... I WISH THERE WAS A MOVIE OF THIS 💓
There are so many plot holes to Shelter. My friends are crying to me about this when the story isn't exactly all that spectacular. Honestly.
To be fair, it is actually a sad video.
DuoReview
Yeah, I guess :P
I cannot stop thinking about rin's position after watching vid , like I will suddenly space out and think about shelter again while in class.
I'm weak
Rin looks like she's 10
Nah, she's 17. XD
Anime logic am I right XD
I cry every time I watch it
My belief is that she's going to just float in space forever or until her pod crashes somewhere and the machines keeping her alive break and she dies, or she lands somewhere and the pod survives, where she just stays in her simulation until she dies of old age, because as we see at the end, her body is older than when her father put her in the pod.
So finally after 4 years I understand this song.
I recognize that the likelihood that she will be found is slim but throughout our entire Universe I feel like it is also slim that we are the only sentient beings out there
This made me cry more than the actual video
this make me sad and made me cry i will always be there for her😔
Listen to:
Goodbye to a world-porter Robinson
Then shelter
And sad machine-porter Robinson
It all kinda links up in some way. I heard it from looking at comments from the shelter video and it actually makes sense
