The letter translated; (from reddit) To Rin From : Dad There was just so little time left after you were born. I don't know how much love I managed to pour into raising you after your mother died... But your smile kept me going. (^_^) I would like to have come with you, but I couldn't. I wanted you to forget everything and move on... I knew you'd be alright. But you'll get lonely, and remember. I know you'll grow strong, and read this letter some day. I really wish we could have spent more time together. I'm sorry. You were so young back then, too young to understand what they meant. So let me repeat... My final words to you. I love you.
+Yuukei: besides many people don't have good "react ability". When they watch something at first they'll be motionless, and that would make their video boring
I've watched it a couple of times now, still gives me goosebumps and makes me tear up. The combination of visuals and audio is perfect, amazing, and beautifully dramatic/tragic...
4:09 I'm not sure if this is obvious or not, but she looks at the swing, then her tablet like she didn't put the swing there. So, her dad put it there to trigger her memories maybe? Idk, such a great video and nice reaction man
GoldenAyla Msp,twd,fnaf Seriously?! You cried in a REACTION VIDEO. Why? I don't might if you cry in the actual video but in a reaction video? Seriously?!
himaya jayathilaka I actually did see it my self before watching this and I was just saying that I practically drowned I'm my own tears when I watched it
This is the translation of the letter at the end from r/anime: To Rin From : Dad There was just so little time left after you were born. I don't know how much love I managed to pour into raising you after your mother died... But your smile kept me going. (^_^) I would like to have come with you, but I couldn't. I wanted you to forget everything and move on... I knew you'd be alright. But you'll get lonely, and remember. I know you'll grow strong, and read this letter some day. I really wish we could have spent more time together. I'm sorry. You were so young back then, too young to understand what they meant. So let me repeat... My final words to you.
NOTE:I did not stole this.I just found this on some website about Shelter.I sent it here so people could see it.I do not own this,I just put it here so people could read it. About the letter: To Rin From :Dad There was just so little time left after you were born. I don't know how much love I managed to pour into raising you after your mother died... But your smile kept me going I would like to have come with you, but I couldn't. I wanted you to forget everything and move on... I knew you'd be alright. But you'll get lonely, and remember. I know you'll grow strong, and read this letter some day. I really wish we could have spent more time together. I'm sorry. You were so young back then, too young to understand what they meant. So let me repeat... My final words to you." the final words were her monologue at the end. ........ The chorus is in the girls pov, the dad's were everything else. Dad: "I could never find the right way to tell you. Have you noticed i've been gone? Cuz i left behind the home you made me But i will carry it along Rin: "And it's a long way forward So trust in me I'll give them shelter like you've done for me And i know I'm not Alone You'll be watching over us Until you're gone (Us:the girl and her bear) Dad: "When i'm older i know that i'll be silent beside you And the words wont be enough And you will need to know it inside our faces And i will carry on for us Rin: "And it's a long way forward So trust in me I'll give them shelter like you've done for me And i know I'm not Alone You'll be watching over us Until You're gone"
Zalzar my reaction is the same as u I understand what u were having when watching this video Ppl like u who understand what this video is trying to bring to viewers r amazing beings
JosHHHy :/ I showed this to someone else and they were like "I mean, I like it and all, but I don't get it" Disappointment... But nothing I can do about it.
I watch it over and over, then I stopped and started it so many times through the video and saw loads more details about the story. Suddenly I understood more and realised what happened to Rin and what her father did for her for her survival by making a "Shelter".. :)
I'm kinda sorry for myself, too T___T... actually, I don't know both Porter and Madeon :(... Ummm is he the one who's singing the song? or it's Porter Robinson's Voice?
Gonna have ot listen to his whole catalog. I can't imagine somebody who, in a collab, made something that absolutely breaks down all my emotional walls every time, could produce music I'd not like.
I think that technology already existed (personal rocket ships, life sustaining fluids, virtual reality) he just had the ingenious idea to combine them all.
Lol he actually probably fucked up her life by sending her to space. The life support will most likely run out since it takes about a decade just to travel out of our solar system. I'd get bored with interacting with no living creatures.
It was just to give her a higher chance of survival, I think this is probably set in the future where humanity has colonized other planets so the craft she is on could be headed to another human settlement. He gave her a colorful world to play around in, instead of a bleak, drab, and otherwise stressful environment in space.
ClickStart Gaming he spent a lot of time & money on an animation for the entire worlds album but scrapped it because it wasn't up to standard, i think if he was able to work with A-1 for the album he'd have done it but time + money are a big thing... hopefully the next album gets something like this
Basic Summary : The world is about end, the girl ie. Rin's father decides that he wants to save his daughter so he builds a simulation machine, then induces a comatose state in his daughter, wipes her memories and places her in the simulation machine , the reason for wiping her memories is so that she doesn't feel lonely and instead thinks that this is how the world is originally and gives her a virtual tablet so that she can create anything ( to avoid insanity induced by boredom) .The simulation machine comes complete with life support, the red tubes probably carry blood and provide nutrients directly to her body and the black tubes probably take the waste from out her body , the metal-ish underpants probably serve the same function . Now Rin in the simulation begins gathering her memory fragments hence, the visions of her past , and in the real world she is drifting through space . So what about the e-mail ??? , her father probably set it so that after a set amount of days passed ( 2568 something ) this e-mail would be delivered to her in the event he fails to stop it from sending (he died), kinda like a fail safe . So In the end after the "Thank you" i guess she probably dies coz i guess the email must've been a program that tells the simulation to stop because what's the point in continuing to live for like forever
I don't think she will die I like to think that the ship she's in is on it's way to another world or massive ark ship containing a population of humanity that Rin's father helped to create each one is placed in a hyper sleep while their consciousnesses are transferred to hard drives and servers, forming a massive nexus of servers when Rin reaches that ship, she will join up with that nexus of servers that's what I think would happen
Porter said that it's the story of a father who built a simulator to save her from the end of the world 😭 could this be the prequel to sad machine? "Who survived? Somebody new? Anyone else but you? ..... " and though I know, since you've awakened her again she depends on you she depends on you"
No matter how many times i have watched the music video, these tears just won't stop. Her father's love is so incomparable. And oh, you have gained a new subscriber. :)
on the original video translated by +Heven Demo translation of the letter: "To Rin From : Dad There was just so little time left after you were born.

it's really sad when your dad didn't rescue his self too it's so sad why why does it have to be like this it's just Anime anime song but I still like to feel me but it's just so sad
God dammit. This kind of stuff fucks me up bad. I was crying when I saw this. The way that guy was content with death as long as his daughter survives was what really got me. Man, this is some high quality stuff.
you can't make full anime. as this one is designed to be short burst of emotions. my feeling is, leave this legendary piece of art right here, story is completed we don't need to know if Rin makes it or not, we can all cry here and move on.
Seeing your reaction made me realize the Shelter MV is one of the few films I'd give almost anything to rewatch for the first time. It's up there with "Seeing Avatar 3D IMAX in theaters for the first time," and "The first huge twist in Mr. Robot". Which is pretty impressive for basically six minutes and a few sentences of dialogue.
My theory was that the ship was meant for him and her so they both could stay together, but what happened was everything speed up to fast and he was forced to modify it to be for only hear.
is so sad when the left is so for he can still her daughter live and it's so sad when he left his house there in the planet with everybody who's going to die there it is so soft and children are going to die I'm so sad is because I heard the song it is really cry forever is one of my last die when I die why why does anime have to be like this sometimes. it's so sad when she lost her dad is he cuz it will be good if his dad lives with her too but it's going to pass out too so what's the point in having no dads in the animes if there are any children in the animes I forgot the name of this anime has a children and it that's a good thing to do about this animes I'm so sad because his animes last lost his no I said sorry this anime lost her dad and I'm so sorry for that so I'm going to cry tears and I'm going to say. my eyes are doing tears why why does animes okay!😢😭
what makes the music so much more emotional is that its meant to be all of her dads letters he left for her for when shes older. i actually cried for the first time in a long time from this song.
You what makes this video sadder Rin (the girl) might be dead inside that pod! The proof is that she has been in there for 7 years with no food or water. (How I got the 7 years is because of the no message day counter.) Somehow if she is alive that means she is supposedly the last human alive.
Last human alive, kept alive in a matrix style simulation, when her body is kept in hibernation-like hypersleep by machines that feed her exactly right levels of proper nutrition, along with some sort of oxygen replenishing machines that give her the little oxygen her sleeping body needs. She will live. Alone. Aware that mankind is gone and she will always be alone. A living memento of a now gone race. Until her body gives out with age. And with the machines taking good care of her, that might be another 80+ years. If you ask me, that's torture.
Zalzar I know, lol that was a test to see if youd notice me lol, I actually have over 1600 subs. anyways could u consider my request? from one reactor to another?
Zalzar Yay :) Just to let u know tho if you do react To One More Chance. Undertale comic dub btw. be sure to bring popcorn and tissues. cuz u are gunna love it. and as for Epictale Hold on to your seats. :) *gathers all seven of the dragon balls and wishes zalzar would make these suggestions his next 2 reaction videos, are at least makes em within the next week* lol
I cried with you when I saw you crying as well. The video keeps making me cry as well. I wish I could have hugged you and I needed one too. I loved your reaction, thank you.
This is the first video of yours that ive seen and your reaction was exactly like mine when i heard the song and saw the video for the first time!!! :D I adore this video of yours!!! :)
He should have watched the video first THEN reading the description. It ruins the excitement and curiosity that you are about to feel if watching the first time.
Not necessarily... well, reading beforehand definitely didn't ruin his exitement and reactions to it. :) Plus he can avoid making dumb comments (not that he'd be the type for that, he reacts insightfully)
hi you remember me? i am benjamin moreno the chilean i talk whit you in the coments last years when you have 10.000 subs....see you now is so... satisfating ...
family don't end in blood true but you can always read it after and watch it again knowing more. regardless I watched this piece of art a dozen times. gorgeous
Like with the ending of Code Geass, Clannad, and ummm, Idk alot of other ones, I went and looked up an explanation to get a better understanding of their amazing endings. I understood Shelter for the most part, except what the message said and who it was from. To learn it was from her Dad was something cool to learn about.
I don't think this should be made into a movie or a series unlike most people because it tells the bulk of the girl's story in just six minute and I think that's pretty good for me. I guess you could make a another video about the dad (Brother?)
"The loneliest people are the kindest. The saddest people smile the brightest. The most damaged people are the wisest. All because they do not wish to see anyone else suffer the way they do."
She was put into a capsule by her father because the world was ending and he wanted her to live. So she is forever in a simulation and will never wake up. Despite the memories with her father depressing her, the memories are to help her to move forward
I have seen Shelter so many times now, and it still hits me hard. The beautiful story fits perfect with this song. I personally thought what Rin's dad messaged her was so touching. She may be in a simulator, but she's still strong and it's truely beautiful.
Personally I think that Tokyo or basically the whole world was going to collide with something like a planet that would end life. Rin, the girl, was about ten at the time and was SHELTERED from this news by her father. As their days became numbered Rin's father spent as much time with her as shown in some of the memories in the video like when Rin got her teddy bear. Soon her father created this machine that allowed Rin to stay in a world where she could create anything she wanted and so she could be safe. When the day came her father hooked Rin up to the machine and most likely wrote the message that Rin read at the end of the video. He probably died as of the rest of the world while Rin stayed in her world for at least 7 years or so. Although there really isn't such a nice ending in this story, I think it's pretty beautiful :3
Koala 911 good theory, but I don't think it was named because she was sheltered from the news, I think it was named because as said from the lyrics, as Rins dad protected her from her inevitable death, Rin promised to "Shelter" all the remaining memories she has of him, thus why she said at the end that the memories made her stronger.
Why am I crying with you? :'( Most people don't understand my world, your and their world. That video causes me shivers, sadness, a kind of emotion that drives me into another dimension. I need someone to talk about these stuffs hehee
I'm not complaining as much as just genuinely curious wtf is going on. if this is just a genuine reaction...couldn't you just watch it yourself? I'm not trying to bash I'm just confused whats going on. but thank you, i hope to go after nyan cat in 2017.
fair enuf. I didn't really get the appeal because my first thought is "can't you just watch the video yourself?" but i see what you mean. cool dude, keep doing whatcha doing.
Exactly my reaction! It's so beautiful, I was so excited at first but end the end it left me crying like a baby. Up till now, just by listening to this song, I couldn't help but to remember the story and burst out my tears.. aaaahhh such a deep story. I wonder if they make it to a full movie, would it still be this beautiful? Since it was the viewers who interpret the feeling. IMHO though.. Anyway, thanks for the video!
Flamefled I don’t know, I don’t think her space ship have the processing power to make artificial intelligence nor we understand conciseness at all right now, maybe in a few years but the way this is set in it looks like 3-4 years later, we’ll without a big ass meteorite, still I think in that time it’s still far to make AI. Or not :3
