description Shelter Overview
Day 2539: Rin wakes up alone again with blurred memories and still no contact from any other human. She is not bored, however, because in her arms lies a tablet capable of creating any world her heart desires. Day after day, Rin crafts a wonderful reality—one utopia at a time—to shelter her from loneliness, hoping to one day reveal the truth behind her very existence.
help Shelter FAQ
Is Shelter a full anime series or a music video?
Shelter is a short anime music video, not a full series. It was released in 2016 as a collaboration between Porter Robinson, Madeon, and A-1 Pictures.
Who is Rin in Shelter, and why is she alone?
Rin is a girl living inside a simulated world she controls through a tablet-like interface. The story reveals that her father, Shigeru, placed her in a space-bound survival system after Earth faced a catastrophic impact.
Why do people talk about Shelter even though it is only a few minutes long?
It compresses a complete science-fiction tragedy into a short runtime, using the song's structure to reveal Rin's false paradise and her father's sacrifice. A-1 Pictures gives it the polished character animation people associate with TV anime, even though the format is closer to a music video.
Is Shelter connected to Porter Robinson's Worlds or Madeon's Adventure?
It is not a sequel to either album, but it sits naturally beside Porter Robinson's Worlds-era visual style and Madeon's electronic pop production. The song Shelter was released by Porter Robinson and Madeon in 2016, the same year as the animated video.
